SAN FRASCIsCo, July 6-John Russell Young, late American minister to China, arrived on the steamer Oceanic yester- day. In an interview regarding the re- striction act be said: It has merely of- fended their pride and does not deny auy privilege which they desire to en- ioy. The Chinese government IS as am- bitous to prevent the emigration of Chinese from China as we are to prevent their immigration to this country. In diplomacy, the fact that America has discriminat, q against China has been used as foil, when Amerlca seeks ad- vantage in China or when a treaty re- vision is suggested. The Chinese do not emirrate from any Chinese city, but from Hongkong, an English port. The laws of China explicitly prohibit the Chinese from emigratIng tO any for eiga country. but do not prevent them going 10 Hongkong. The Butish gov ernment of HOngkong could enforce a restriction act if 1t were required to do so. If asked how the act could be fully and completely carried out, l should ansg ger without hesitation, negotiate a treaty with England by which coolies from Hongkong shall be beprohIoited from sailing to thls country.
 The announcement of General Grant s serious illness was received with sincere regret in China and Japan. u Hung Chang requested me to convey to General Grant his sorrow and sympa- thy. The Prince sent a similar mes sage and the emperor of Japan like wise wishes me express to General Grant his most ardent wish for his recovery.
 Trade between this country and China might be developed to very large proportions. At present the chief arti- cle of commerce IS petroleum. Within the last four years trade in oil has ln- creased ten fold. American piece goods are also becoming popular III Chinese markets. We have to compete with English piece goods, as ours were much better in quality and higher Tn price than anything English and for c time the Chinese preferred cheaper article, but lately they have come to buy better goods. The tea and silk trade might be largely developed. California can ned goods and drIed fruits are well liked in China and will find a large market there. This should cultivate friendly relations with China, for there will be very lucrative market there for our products.
