THE REJECTION OF THE BUR-
LINGAME TREATY BY THE
CHINESE.

London, August 26.-1he Star, in
an article on the reception of the Amer
lean treaty by the Chinese, shows that
the treaty secured substantial advant-
ages for China, while America claimed
any interference with their internal adj
ministration. 1t cannot be supposed
that the Pekin government is dissatisfied
with the convention, but that that weak
government should yield to the pressure
of Mr.. Burlingame's enemies, and who
represent to it that the convention is at
variance with the traditions of the
country, is not surprising. 1t now re-
mains to be seen whether Mr.. Burlin-
game or Mr.. Browne reflects the mind
and purpose of President Grant
The Standard thinks that the Chinese
in refusing to endorse the agreement,
show that they are not animated by inn
pulses which Mr.. Burlingame declared
they possessed, and hopes their action
will lead him to abandon functions
which secure neither honor for himself
nor benefit for the world OF large.
Washington, August 26.-The Bri-
fish dispatch by way of Hong Kong,
announcing the rejection of the Burlin-
game treaty with the United States by
the Chinese government, published to-
day, is not believed here by the authori-
ties. 1t is evidently made up in the
interests OF the English merchants at
the treaty ports, who have all along
been bitterly hostile TO the new policy
represented by the Burlingame embassy
Every one of the English papers printed
at Shanghai, Hong Kong and other
ports have been systematic in their de-
nunciaton. The whole dispatch is
regarded as a weak invention of the
enemies of China and of the United
States. u0.l
Our late minister, Hon D. Ross
Browne, seems TO have carried California
prejudices with him. He was accom-
panied by men who would be sure to
act contrary to the wise liberality which
characterized Mr.. Brmllngame's diplo-
matte course. ...
The last clause of the cable dispatch
is deemed conclusive here as to it's
animus.
There can he no doubt of the falsity
of the charge that Mr. Burlingame is
accredited to tributary nations The
TRANSACTIONS from the original ins.ruc-
tons were made by such ripe Chinese
scholars as Hon. Wells Williams, secre-
tary of our embassy at Pekin, and by
Prof. Martin, the translator into Chi
nese of Wheaton's International Law
and now of the new university estab-
lished at the Chinese capital. Besides
both Of Mr.. Burlingamss secretaries
were accomplished Chinese scholars
Mr.. Browne was member of the Eng
fish embassy, and would not have al
lowed himself to be sent to his own
government as to a tributary nation. D
No one here acquainted with these mat
tere doubts the ialsity of the dispatch.
Mr.. Browne will not, it is now believed,
have permission to return to Pekin.-

RIGHTS OF NATURALIZED CITI-

In response to inquiries, Hamilton
Fish, the Secretary of State, gives the
GLOWING opinion:
'Naturaiized and native born citizens
are entitled to the same protection from
ihe government when in foreign
1ountry, and both in such cases are Or
iinarily subject to the laws of such coun-
try, and are bound to observe those laws
to tho same extent to which its own cit
'2ens Or subjects are bound.
IF they reside in such foreign coun-
try 50 as to become domiciled there, they
further take upon themselves the duties
aud Obligations toward the government
Of that country which attach to perma-
nent residents
III is also possible for a naturalized
citizen, by returning to his native coun-
try, and residing there with evident in
tent to remain or by accepting offices
there inconsistent with his adopted cit
'Zenship, or by concealing, for length
o! time, the fact of his naturalization,
and passing himself as a citizen of his
native country, until occasion may make
IL his interest to ask the intervention of
The country of his adoption, or in other
ways which may show an intent to aban-
don his acquired rights, to so far resume
his original allegiance as to absolve the
government of his adopted country from
the obligation to protect him MS citi-

AS an express train on the Michigan Contra

AS an express train on the Michigan Central
Railroad was nearing Albion Tuesday after
noon, the passengers waiting for the train
were startled by the frequent whstling OF the
engine. 1t was found that man was driving
at a furious pace to get his horses and wagon
across the track before the engine reached the
crossing. The engineer did his best to stop
the train, but it was too late, and Tho cow
catcher struck just between the wagon and
the horses, separating them instantor, and
consigning each to place on opposite sides
OF the track, little or none The worse for the
collision. The man and his wife leach about
sixty-6ve) were caught on tho platform above
the cowcatcher, and just in front OF the
engine. Instead Of loosing presence OF
mind and jumping off, they settled them
selves composedly as though nothing Lad
happened; the old lady put her hands IN her
muff. whllc the old man, with Que hand extend
ed. as if grasping the relns, and the whip
raised in the other, assumed a jockey attitude.
and thus the old couple rode up to the station
triumphant, amid the cheers Of the bystaIdcrs.
As soon as the train stopped u number rushed
to their assistance; bus they declined all aid,
manifesting no concern for themse yes, but
considerable for the fate of the horses and
wagon. Tho horses were uninjured, and the
damages to the wagon were trif,nS.
