NEW York, May 16th.-The Herald fur.
nishes a column of details Of the Chinese
meeting on Saturday night, in the rooms OF
the Loan Ye. Tong, or United Chinese
Brethren, at Is Mott street, of which organ
| ization lie Ye Lep, the murdered mans
brother, is a prominent member. There were
present the principal Chinese residents and
business men of the city. In the absence of
the President, Thomas Lee called the meet
ing to order. He explained that the effect of
the Society was to take such steps as were
necessary to secure the safety of the New
York Cinnamon from the attacks of hoed-
lums, and to bring swift retribution upon
the head of Ley Leps assailant. He was
murdered because he was n Chinaman The
knife which let his lifeblood ont upon the
pavement was aimed at the race not the indi-
vidual. What had Cinnamon to look forward
to if, in the midst of New York civilization,
he could be struck down and murdered with
out provocation. The District Attorney was
busy official, and the Chinese must hire
counsel to collect evidence aud assist at the
prosecution. A gray haired Chinaman
named You Nun made a very eloquent
speech. He said in San Francisco there were
many Cinnamon who merited death, but in
New Y ork every Chinaman worked hard for
his living, and harmed no one. Ley Tep, it
is said, was mere boy, weak and iuexperi-
snced. His death was chargeable to the
community at large, which permitted ma
tional hatred to estrange them from perse-
cuted immigrants, and to make them forget
the duty they owed to all human beingy,
black. yellow or white. James E. Baptiste,
the Chinese interpreter, who was present,
showed to the Herald reporter book which
was written about the murderer by Chin Mum
Fee, young Chinese scholar who spoke at the
meeting. A subscription list was produced
by Cinnamon and laid upon the table. 1t
was headed by an address to the Chinese resi-
dents of New York, setting forth the cir
cumstauces surrounding the death of Tep. 1t
had been circulated throughout the whole
city, and had been responded to literally.
Some of the signers gave $50 apiece toward
the prosecution fund, which aggregated over
50, 600. This money is to be used to hire law
yers at once, so that the case may be prepared
for trial as speedily as possible. Toward the
conclusion of the conference it was suggested
that an address ought to be sent to Governor
Cornell, asking him 20 use his influence to Sc
cure fair trial Of the man who killed Tep.
There seemed to be belief among the Ce-
lestisls that the jury before whom the case
will be tried will render verdict Of acquittal
on general principles. It was decided to
send petition already prepared to Chin Lin
Pin. The prayer is that the Chinese shall be
represented at the trial either by Young
Wing, the Vice. Minister now at Washington,
| or that special Consul be sent to New York
in his stead. In any event." the petition
concludes, sit is absolutely necessary that
| the Chinese Government shall appoint Con-
sui 10 this city, as there are now sufficient
number of Chinese subjects residing here to
warrant it." Baptiste told the reporter that
the Cinnamon of this city propose to test
their standing as residents in America by the
manner in which this case will be conducted.
If necessary they will raise $40 COO. A mes
sage is expected from the Chinese residents of
San Francisco, who will be asked to Join in
the prosecution and petition the Chinese
Minister.
