however, among the habituer of the place and many persons crowded around the rouge-et-noir table to see him win. On this night the keeper of the place, who seldom inteṛfered with the play of his guests, made up his mind to learn, if pos sible, who his mysterious and fucky visitor was.
"The Senor is a very heavy bettor "he ven tured.
The Spanish glanced at the speaker and said briefly,
The Senor always bets to please himself and not others."
·
But, the leeper was not to be put off so easily. "The Senor seems to bet on the red all the time," he said "Is the red a favorite color with the Senor 2"
Red is the color of blood," was the reply. "There's has bech a great deal of blood in the Senor's life," and another roll of money was counted out to the lucky young Spaniard,
One more venture was made to draw the mar into conversation.
"The Senor is a stranger here. Would the Senor mind making himself known?"
For naswer the Spaniard drew an enormous Tall of bills from his pocket and holding it in his hand said:

THE HONGKONG TELEGRAPH, FRIDAY, NOVEMBER 8, 1889.
BISHOP FOWLER, AND THE CHINESE.
Bishop Fowler is reported to have said, in an address to the Methodist clergy of Chicago, that the Scott law is "the most dastardly and disgusting thing America ever did, and it will be paid for some day by the blood of America's best men." He farther denounced his own country for violating fra treaty with China, These sentiments no deüht stir responsive chords nf senuinient throughout the East, where there is but liule actual information abroad as to the Chinese question.
The Bishop says he was asked in China, Chinese are forbidden to land in the United "Why are you permitted to come. here, when
States?"
It might have occurred to the Bishon to ask. "Why have Americans been always prevented
cogaging in mining and every other occupation in Chion, except foreign trade, while, every form of business and labor has been open to Chinese and profitably occupied by them in the United States?" Instead of this he seems to have be- come on accuser of his own country.
colonization experiences different from that in Chira cannot point to any outcome of her
California.
It is strange that upon this State should be put the brand of a judgment concerning the Chinese which was the cause of the exclusion act, when it is the common judgment of all nations that have had contact with that people. Sixty years ago the historian of the Indian Archipelago wrote of them :--

This is the Senor's card." He placed $10,000 On the sixth night the young Spaniard arrived promptly at the usual hour. It was a bright, moor light night. The proprieter of the place and the keeper of the game glanced nervously at the hands of the clock as they slowly traveled around the dial toward g Both were thinking of the mysterious young Spaniard, and both were hoping that he would not In five nights again male his appearance. he had made fearful imands in the capital of the heuse, and it his phenomenal luck conti- nurd it would be but a question of time when the hank would be hopelessly depleted.

They were right,
We are not quarreling with them for this. Their development has been upon lines at angles with ours, and it can never be brought into harmony with us. Califoraja should not be made to bear the unjust burden of a judgment upon them which is shared by the Hindoos, Burmese, Japanese, Coreans, and by the whites of Australia, British Columbia and South America.
In 1855, Bayard Taylor, an associate of arceley in the New York Tribune, after visiting China, and bringing to bear upon her people his great and impartial faculty of observation, wrote of them

Coolly he counted over the money that was passed over to him, and crolly phored $40 000 on the red.
The Spaniard was making a superb play. witness the game, Crowds gathered around and every one in the room seemed to know that the young stranger was making an effort to hreak the bank. The proprietor of the house felt this probably more keenly than any of the others present. The keeper looked into the Spaniard's face and said:

It is my deliberete opinion that the Chinese are morally the most depraved people m the face of the earth. Forma of vice which la nther countries are barely named, are in China ao cam- man that they excle na comment amongst the natives. They contine the surface level, and below them are desia and deeps of depravity an shucking and horrible that their character cannot even be hinted.

That was a statement of California's case in 1855 by a gentleman who honored American literature and was greatly honored by his country. To his testimony may be added that of the Abbe Huc, Sir Harry Parkes and scores of Europeans who speak from perfect knowledge,

What treaty has been violated? China agreed by treaty that we should have the rights to uspend the immigration of her laborers. The text of the treaty rends:— AZ

The limitation of suspension muss be reasonable and shall apply only to Chinese who may go to the United States a izbores, and Chinese laborers who are now in the United States shall be allowed so come and go of their own fise wili mi mocord.
