that prominent Chinese Official to this country
with instructions investigate the working progress at
Hartford He at first greatly shocked to see how
the spirit Of institutions had been caught up by the
youths from China Tney had in some instances dis
posed of their queues, and with the exception of phys
ognomcal pecuarites, they were to all ntents and
purposes Americans, without political privileges. Yung
Wing vain explained thatas matter of social custom
and convenience, the young men had adopted the
OF their felowstudents The traditions and nat
ural antpathes OF the civilized coud not be
easily, and forthwith he dispatched to Pekin n
letter in winch he condemned in uneasured terms the
measures and tendencies of the Mission. He declared
that the effect of their soourn to ALLEVIATE the boys
from their country and its customs to undermine the
most sacred traditional principles of government and
cety, to pant and foster sedtous ideas which would
become the germ Of social. If cvil and religious
troubles among their people.
One of the principal designs OF the Chuese authorities
iu establishing the mission thoroughly to train

that America is 25 cent ahead of English competi-
tors in the producing capacity of machinery rea-
tive cost of Manufacture.
The Commissioner has also noted tho
