TIE TEA TRADB.-Whe Chinese Ambns-
sntior.-Soine Baltimore tea merchants TO-
day called upon the Chinese Ambassador,
and discussed the question Of commercial re-
ntions with China with special relation TO
the tea trade. This is the first reception
given by the Chinese to civilians. Tho tea
merchants requested the Chinese Ambassador
to discourage the expectation OF teas which
were artiicially colored, and to send teas only
In natural condition, as they arc used In
China. The minister showed his shreWdness
by informing the delegation that Chinese
merchants shall be, glad to export
cost them much less, and that artifi-
cially coIored teas would not be ex--
ported day longer than there was a demand
for them. A sample OF tea, brought from
China by the embassy for its OWN use was
brought in. The minister said that the vari-
GUS brands Of tea sold in America and Europe
were unknown to and unused by the tea con-
sumers in China. They were especially pre-
pared by Chinese tea exporters for the foreign
markets, were colored by chemicals, and this
putting up teas for foreign markets, not only
rendered it less palatable and beneficial, but
more expensive. Hecxpressed the opinion that
If boards Of trade in New York and China were
to make known the fact that pure teas were not
only more palatable, but less expensive, it
would be q benefit to both the producer and
consumer. There Is, said he, really but onekind
Of tea plant, and from this both green and
black teas are produced. The equivalents for
the two terms green" and f'black" do not
signify to Chinese the color OF tea but have
reference to the period Of acknowledgement
Indicating not green color. but unripeness.
Yung Wing, in the course Of speech, made
the important adm ission that he was confident
that tea could be successfully cultivated in
certain portions of the United States, but that
Chinese labor would be necessary to success
fully do this and he added that Cinnamon are
not disposed to emigrate In great numbers to
this IL #iea, Of pending prejudice and
agitation against them in California. Gin

sixty Illicit distillers have been fined from
800 TO $1,000 each, and sentenced from one to

them in the ia1Is Of their respective counties,
