APPEAL TO CONGRESS
Chinese Want the Right of
Suffrage.
GEARY ACT DOES NOT SUIT THEM
They Therefore Want It Redealed
Thelr Vtevr Expressed in a
Hag Meeting;.
Chicago, Nov. 23. American Chinese
and native-born Chinese will appeal to
congreea for the right of suffrage and ask
that body to repeal the Geary anti-Coi-uese
law passed in 1832. A public mass
meeting will be held at Central Music
hall next Saturday, and prominent Chi
nese from all over the country' will ad
dress the meeting.
They will declare that wrongs have
been inflicted upon them since they
have been refused the right of citizen
ship, and will ask the aid of the people
of the United States to help them in
their cause.
This, it is said, will be the first time
that the Chinese ehall have openly .de
clared themselves. They have organized
the Chinese Rights Club of America.
Wong Chin Foo is president of the or
ganization. In an interview he said:
- "We want Illinois, the place that Lin
coln, Grant and Logan called their home,
to do for the . Chinese what the North
did for the negroes.
"Why" should we not have a voice in
municipal and national affairs the same
as other foreigners? There are 50,000
Chinese in this country desirous of be
coming citizens.. .
"In 1892 an outrageous law was passed
by songress. By that law the rights and
liberties of nearly 250,000 lawful and in
dustrious citizens were sweDt awav. We
- - -
will now ask congress to restore to as
theWvereign rights we once enjoyed,
which are now held by every other race
who come here.
"Those who wish to become voters
have been living" in this city from 10 to
40 years. Their financial and social in
terests are all here, and tney have
.learned to love America better than
they did. the old country, They have
acquired American habits which have
rendered their residence in China almost
impossible.- The situation has now come
' to a stage where we must ask for our
rights."
Following the meeting at Central Mu
sic hall, meetings will , be held all over
the United States.
. The Chinese Equal Eights League of
America is incorporated. , .-, . '
Among those who will address the
meeting next Saturday are Wong Chin
Fee, Wong Ock, of Massachusetts, Sam
Ping Lee, of New York, and Chin Loy,
of San Francisco. --f .
Asks Russia to Help Her.
New York, Nov. 23. A Washington
special to the Herald says :
China has appealed to .Russia to oust
Germany from her territory as a result
of occupation by the German force of a
part of the Shan Tang peninsula. As
the Russian secretary, Count Cassini,
the minister has been transferied to
Washington as the diplomatic represen
tative of Cussia, the negotiations oh the
subject are being ' carried on in St; Pe
tersburg. It ia. hoped by the Chinese
that the influence exerted by Russia

which prevented the rehabilitation of
the Turkish navy will be exercised on
Germany with equal success in the mat
ter of the occupancy of the Chinese ter
ritory. Notwithstanding the efforts of the
Chinese government to get Germany .to
name a date Then she would withdraw
her forces, the German government has
taken no step in ' the matter, and the
fear is expressed in Eastern and Euro
pean diplomatic circles that her occu
pancy, if not permanent now, is simply
preliminary to such an end.
A diplomat thoroughly conversant
with Eaetern affairs made this state
ment in regard to the landing of German
forces :
At the time of the landing the Chi
nese government had already taken
measures for the arrest of the murderers
of the German missionaries, and, in fact
instructions of this character had been
obeyed to such ah extent that several of
the culprits bad been placed under ar
rest. It' was also intended to require
the people of the district in which the
murders occurred to'.' pay a suitable in
demnity. "These fact have been laid before the
German minister at Peking, who I may
say is of. very excitable temperament,
and his failure to accept the apology and
await the result of the efforts of the
Chinese government . shows ' that Ger
many was simply awaiting a pretext to
occupy a portion of the Celestial King
dom's territory.
Germany hae always been anxious to
obtain territory In the far East; .Her
citizens who have established them
selves in China have been especially,
clamorous that the black, white and red
flag should wave over a portion of ' that
country, and their government, seeing
an opportunity growing out of the mur
der of the two missionaries, promptly
seized upon it."

coach for Baldwin, is snffering from in
juries to the bead, and . is still delirious

. The Baldwin men claim that the Tiffin
team put in a ringer in the second half,
who, after throwing Reed, jumped on
his bead. He repeated the perfornianue
in the case of Young. Reed remained
unconscious and was carried to the train
in that condition. . '
When the team was almost ready to
board the train Young was missed. After
a search of several hours he was found
wandering about in an alley, out ot his
head. He was taken to a hospital in
Tiffin, where he now is. A stop of five
hours was made at Shelby, where Capt.
Reed was attended by a physician. The
affair has created intense excitement.
