Bound to Keep Out Chinese.

San Francisco dispatch: About 1,000 delegates from California counties and Pacific coast states met here to protest. against the threatened repeal of the Geary Chinese exclusion act. Former Congressman Thomas J. Geary, father of the exclusion act, was chosen chairman, and H. A. Mason secretary. All labor unions were represented by delegates, and all coast states sent prominent men to speak for them. It is expected that a strong memorial to Congress in favor of the re-enactment of the exclusion law will be adopted by the convention.
