Show TIic Chinese minister, Secretary Bayard and Governor Storeman. Sacbamento, December 27. Governor Stoneman has received a dispatch from Secretary Bayard, from Washington, in which the writer states his attention has been called by the Chinese Minister to movements in different cities for the expulsion ex-pulsion of the Chinese. The Chinese Minister Minis-ter suggests it is preferable to prevent violence than to repress it after it may have arisen. In reply to Secretary Bayard, Governor Gov-ernor Stoffeman telegraphed: "There has not been a single act of -violence toward the Chinese in this State, nor do I anticipate any trouble which cannot be controlled by the local authorities. There is a deep-seated and unanimous feeling on this coast against the further immigration of Chinese. Thousands of good citizens are unable to obtain a livelihood live-lihood owing to their presence." In conclusion con-clusion he says: '"Referring to suggestions of the Chinese Minister to yourself as to the proper method of preserving good order in this State, I may say we are capable of performing per-forming that duty without gratuitous suggestions sug-gestions from that quarter." |
