JOHN c. MYERS CHARGES MINISTER SEWARD WilH
GROWING RICH By sPECULA1IoNs IN SHANGHAI
GENERAL PRESS DIsrATcHl
WASHINGTON Jan. 23.-.John &. Myers, who has
been suspended as COnsul-General at Shanghai, has
requested the House of Representatives to investl-
gate the administration of the COnSulaic-GcneTa at
that mort during the terms of Office of Geo. +. Sew
ard the present Minister 10 China, o. Is. Bradford,
Northumberland aud COnSular-Clerk, and Mr..
Myers himself as Consul-Gencral.
Mr. Myers states at length his grievances against
these gentlemen and the alleged unjust means
which led TO his suspension by President Hayes lie
SAWS. among other things that some time after he
had been IN Shanghai he heard Of the reported great
wealth of Mr. Seward and Mr.. Bradford, the latter
having been put into his place as COnsul-General.
Considering that both Of these gentlemen came
TO Shanghai few years ago without capital, ana
had been in receipt of small salaries which supplied
little more than a good living, and knowing that
there was at least some foundation for scandal0us
talk he believed il to be his Cuty 10 the Government
70 ascertain the facts with view to making such
reforms as would strengthen confidence III the
foreign service. lie says he learned that there ex
isted at shanghai a well defined land ring, composed
of ENGLISH American, French, and Chinese
,,antlcnep and that both Mr. Seward and
Mr. bradford were interested with them,
and that another scheme was the CON
struction of a carriage way to be known as the
"Seward Road designed TO afford pleasant drive
out into the interior from the foreign settlements
far more important enterprise IN when many ior-
eigners together with Mcssrs. Seward ana brauioru
were interested, was the construction OF railway
from Shan ghai to Woosung, The success OF such
movement, it was thought, would give the project
tors monopoly Of railroad construction IN China
and reward them with business which in few
wears would return profit Of many millions OF dol
lars.
Mr.. Myers says that the policy of the American
Government is of Cancellation and non-interfer-
ence an extension OF the influence Of Western ciy1li-
cation being sought only by friendly means, and by
carefully abstanng from anything like coercion or
dictation as to the local affairs Of China and this
policy is clearly asserted in the amendments TO our
treaties with China. On account OF the many

presented its memorial to Congress te-day in favor

appear to have been the whole object OF
the visit however. One of the number,
representing the wool, sugar-refining and other
interests. argued in favor of a reduction OF
the duty Oh raw woods. and favored Inc retention
of the present rates of duty on cloths, and other
manufactures of wool and worsted. The sugar
refpers' argument was in substance the same as
that presented by the New Workers, and the woolen
arguments contained nothing new. The dclega-
ton also seemed generally to favor in accordance
with instructions received in Boston, radical
amendments to the present navigation laws.
There are a large number of persons here inter-
esed in various features Of the tariff but what they
have TO say is listened to only by individual men,
bers and not by any organized portion of the Com

to cause trouble between the United States and

Mr. Myers says various efforts were made through

Various other charges are brought against Messrs.
Seward and Bradford including the taking OF ices,
and numerous irregularities. In some instances men
had been sentenced 10 long periods OF Imprisonment
BY Mr. Seward while sitting without aSsociates-
contrary to law; the records of fees collected the
nature Of offences committed, the terms OF sen
fences, and other data had been mutilated, por-
tons having been cut on and taken away. upon
asking Mr.. Bradford for an explanation of this, he
endcavored to make Mr. Myers believe II was mat
