two facts in juxtaposition, thus "a number
of capitalists of San Francisco have come to
New York, and now some of the Chinese are
coming also. Now, if Kearney should fol-

CHICAGO, March 45h. - The Tribune.
Washington special says it is reported that a
delegation from the Chinese Six Companies
will soon arrive in Washington TO ask through
the Chinese Legation whether the United
States proposes to recognize the Burlingame
treaty and protect peaceful citizens Of China
residing in this country and engaged in
legitimate business. This is a new phase OF
the Chinese question which will probably
give the Cabinet some trouble. The Bur-
hngame treaty.. of course, very broadly
guarantees protection by the United States
to every Chinaman landed in America. Sec.
rotary Eyarts Is understood to have said that
the mission is an unnecessary one as there
have been no disturbances in San Francisco,
and if there should be any the local suthori.

THE SITUATION IN NEW YORK.
NEW YORK, March 4th-An evening paper
says: Around the principal Chinese board.
lng-house IN the city this morning there was
about as much hustle as in the famous quar-
ter of San Francisco. The lately arrived i'm
migrants were out early to take look at
their home and compare it with San Fran
cisco. Mott street, from Chatham Square a
few blaaks tp, was crowded with Celestials.
The newcomers are delighted with the change
in their prospects, and look forward toward
establishing large colony in New York

Of hoodlumism. All Kee, one of the most
intelligent OF the refugees, said that the sys-
tenn of persecution and outrage practiced by
the followers of Kearney on them had
reached such an extent that life became in
tolerable. He had quite an extensive laun-
dry in San Francisco, but his business was
completely ruined by the ruffianism of hood
lums. His customers dropped off one by
one, deferred by the threats and violence Of
these rutfians. He acknowledged that the
Six Companies had organized movement by
which as long as low fares lasted on the rail-
road and steamer there would be a steady
stream of Chinese emigration to this city and
Philadelphia.
There is some talk among the older Chinese
residents Of adding a theater to the Celestial
attractions of Mott street, similar to the es-
tablishment of that kind In San Francisco,
The entire company will, in the event of the
opening of theater, be brought from the
Pacific. Although the Chinese colony here
are very secret on the subject, it is certain
that a subscription list has been circulated
among them, and rapidly filed up to enable
their countrymen to come on to New York
DESCENT ON CHICAGO.
CHICAGO, March 4th.-The Erening Tele-
gy,aoh has an interview with some of the most
intelligent resident Cinnamon, who expect a
large number of their people FROM San Fran
cisco shortly, and say their stay viii be guided
entirely by the reception they meet at the
hands of manufacturers here. They expect
the general strike threatened among the vari-
Gus industries will make room for them, and
these Cinnamon have an eye ON the places of
white laborers, provided employers sustain
them. They are sharp enough to realize that
trouble may arise, but do not fear Chicago as
thew do the hot-headed Kearneyites of the
Pacific coast. California animoaity and a
competitive railroad system is sending hun
dreds of the Mongolians to this city, who are
living with their friends. The new Chicago
Chinatown will be located on South Clark
street, in the heart of the city, where cheap
Easements abound. Public opinion, accord
ing to interviews, is decidedly hostile to their
advent.
