The Chinese Embassy.

SAN FRANCISCO, Aug. 2.-The Chinese
Embassy will leave tomorrow for the
East by a special car. By arrangements.
His Excellency held an extended inter.
view last evening with Col. Bee, Attorney
for the Chinese companies, several
prominent Chinese merchants being pre-.
sent The matters discussed related TO
the treatment OF his countrymen here,
and the relation existing between the two
Governments. Col. Bee ia not at liberty
to give his Exeellencies conclusions, but
Gays he repeatedly referred to the great
friendship felt BY hij Government to-
wards that Of the United States, which he
believed was reciprocated. he knew Of
nothing having transpired to change their
friendly relations. He spoke In high
commendation OF Ex. Minister Low and
Mr.. Seward, and especially referred to
s. Wells Williams, late Secretary OF the
Legation, "a having done much during
his long residence in China TO bring
about the present amicable relations ex.
listing between the two nations. He saw
much 10 the future to the farther increase
OF this sentiment. The Establishment Of
this Embassy at Washington would
bring two people into closer commercial
relations, and giving the United States
advantages heretofore more largely en-
joyed BY other nations. Although the
Federal, State and Municipal authorities
have paid the Embassy no official cour-
tesies they hlve been the reciPients OF at
tention from many prominent citizens
during the stay in this city.

That Terrible Outrage on Bos.
ton Lady an old story.

WASHINGTON, Aug. 1.-The Boston
Aduerti,er, OF yesterday, makes the follow.
ing editorial statement in regard to the
sens sstional story which has been sent
over the country about Boston lady
travelling on the New York Central Rail-
road being captured by persons on the
train, who took charge Of her at Utica, on
the pretense that she was insane, and that
they we're taking her to an asylum:
The Providence Journal, OF yesterday,
on the authority Of gentleman said to
be acquainted with the circumstances, in.
dorsed the story Of the New York 1imes
relating to the capture Of lady from this
city on the New York Central Railroad,
"a true in all the material circumstances.
So respectable an Endorsement makes Il
desirable TO repeat that the story, in all
its essential particulars, Is unquali6edly
