CHICAGO, Aug 9.-The Chinese Embassy
arrived in this city yesterday afternoon
from the West over the Rock Island Rail
road, and after remaining an hour left at
5:15 p, M, via the Lake Shore Railroad.
The party consisted of twenty-seven per-
sons, including the ambassador Chin Lin
Pin and Interpreter Chin Thenyin. The
ambassador is man of sixty-three years Of
age, thoroughly acquainted with this coun-
try and its people and laws, and will doubt
less render this Government great assist
ance in the Chinese question. He belongs
to the second rank in the Empire. and is
called in Chinese the "Great Blue Button"
The ambassador and suite go direct from
here to Hartford, Conn The Embassy will
then proceed to Washington, where Chin
Lin Pin, as Embassador-in-Ch will send
Representatives of his suite as Ministers to
Spain, Peru and Cuba, and they will report
to him in Washington, where he will re-
main until the objects of the Embassy are
accomplished The party say they have
had a very pleasant journey. Several mem
bers of the Chinese Sunday-school visited
them during their short stay.
A very heavy storm of wind and rain
passed over this city yesterday afternoon,
but as yet no great damage is reported.
The Chinese Ambassador, while here, said
that the exhibition of distaste toward them
in San Francisco was of an insignificant
character, and no attention was paid to it,
as it was known to come from the ignorant
and low classes His arrival at this time
has nothing to do, he says, with the present
Anti-Chinese labor movement here.
