Tam, ete, $m,—Will you kindly allow space in the columns of your valuable paper for the insertion of the following extract of a private letter from a Cainese student in one of the universities in America, anent the operation of the Chinese Exclusion Law recently passed in America, which If wish to reproduce for the information of those who may intend to go to America for their education, and also. with a view of inspiring a proper appreciation among the Chinese of the professed friendship of America for China:
"As a consequence of the Exclusion Law it is next to impossibility for one even a real student to land here. First, one mys!
before he is allowed to land; filled:
ficate; years money' (probably $300 or £409) Yourthly, he must find some one here guarantee that he a student; fifthly, if Ree is found out at any time working, he is sure to be deported even if leis actually a student attending some college. The preent Exclusion Law is even more rigid than its predecessor. I have known cases where a stwlent was not allowed to land because there was found a minor mistake (for instance the mistake of using a wrong word) in his certificate.
If one is not allowed to land, he is put into some kind of a pris built near the wharf. That prison is horible: noair, no bed, no proper foot, no one being allowed to see him, even father, or mother, or brother, or sister. It palas me to 1th August.
