THE CHINESE QUESTION. HOLD ME BACK.
Sydney", May 5. In" the course of an interview yesterday, Mr Quong Tart, the well-known Sydney merchant, said that returned Chinese emigrants suffered destitution, and he appealed to their countrymen for sympathy and assistance. He said, in referring to his recent visit to China, that the stories ot imprisonment of ships carrying Chinese to Sydney had inflamed the popular anger of all Chinamen, and this sentiment was smouldering and ready to break out at any moment in a manner unpleasant to* the English residents in China, .particularly! those in the employ of the Chinese Giovern-' ment. Mr Quong Tarb asserts that had ib not been ffoyr v the Mandarins there would^ have been something approaching an open revolt in China, but those gentlemen had^ kept t-he peoplequiet by stating that "'the' English Cjovorninent would suppress ihe i policy of the colonial Governments regarding bhfii Chinese.
