ton OF your excellency one other subject oil COM
plant on the part OF my Government. allude 10
the well-known fact Of the Imprisonment and deton-
lion of MIR. Snow the consul of the United States,
and his being deprived Of his servants and OF the
means Of external communication, by order oil the
Imperial Commissioner Lin, In the months Of March,
April, and May, ~ the year 1889. AT the same Time,
sundry citizens OF the United States In like
manner detained and imprisoned, and otherwise ag-
grieved and their vessels detained and my Govern
ment might well appeal to the justice Of the Emperor
for reparation on their behalf since among them
were individuals who had never been guilty, and who,
1t was admitted by the Commissioner, had never
been guilty OF any violation Of the laws of China
But have primarily IN view 10 ask your attention TO
the unju coercion practised against Mr.. Snow, a
public officer Of the United States recognised by your
Government as such, and residing at Canton in the
discharge Of his duties, under the faith and security
Of the Chine Government
In revivng this subject, it is by no means my wish
to awaken past anmosties but, on the contrary, TO
embrace the present occasion to terminate every diff
ference between the two countries and fix their fu-
ture relations on footing Of the most cordial friend
ship
cannot forbear to add that the United States con
slider this act Of the Imprisonment Of their consul
of fragrant injury TO their national sovereign

would accept reparation therefor in pecuniary
form; it expects, from your excelency's estab-

to address TO your excellency yesterday accompany

subjects of special nature, of great importance,
which reserved each for separate communica ions
Upon the most immediate and pressing of theso re-
served subjects nov address your excellenoy.
Your enceency Is aware of the fact that the space
within which the citizens Of the United states
and do their business at Canton is of very limited ex
tent. This, although it is a serious grievance, might
be acquiesced in by them it, in the narrow space oc.
cuped by them, they could feel that they we're secure
from intrusion, insult, and injury. During the time
that your excellency resided at Canton they did en-
JOY comparative tranquility, by Of the vgi
liant poles which your excellency maintained in the
vicinity of the foreign factories But since then il is
otherwise. Numerous individual cases have been
brought to my knowledge, Of Americans who have
been insulted by bad of the Chinese, who thrust
themselves into the garden Of the factories inure the
flowers and trees apply opprobrioos language to their
peaceful occupants, throw brickbats and other mis-
stiles at them and sometimes proceed to the length Of
