CHING HAY s VIEW OF THE MATTER
NEW YoRR, Feb 90 The Mai and
Express publishes the following IHter-
view with Ching Hay, the Chinese
consul in this city, based on the s..
Louis despatch saying tina. the Cam
ese imperial government conlemplates
retaiiaiory measures oa account Of
the treatment accorded TO the Chinese
subjects in this country. II cannot
say that | am advised that an Imper
ial proclamation has been issued
compelling all chlnamen in
this country to return home, but ]
can say that the consul general at San
Francisco has sent out notices advis
ing all Cinnamon to leave. Whether
the government Is at the back OF this
| cannet say. AS TO the suggestion Of
retaliation | have no doubt but what
measures of this kind will be taken by
the government If the Cinnamon
here, why cnnnot our people
drive out all the Ar.ericans from
China2 The good fame OF this couD-
try has been diseraced by the recent
outrages, and the question has become
very serious. There is no protection
to Cinnamon at all, but American
merchants and missionaries are well
treated in China, and whenever i'll
treated the government takes prompt
action, pot only in paying dam
ages, but also in redrsssing the wrong
| dole. What / don't understand is
why the good people of the east here
remain silent. 1t certainly was not
the intention of congress that mer-
chants and others should be treated
in this way. II nothing is done, the
commerce between the two countries,
amounting to $50. 900. 900 annually,
will be destroyed.

The railroad tax law, passed by the
legislature of New jersey in 1884, has
just been declared uuc institutional by
the Supreme Court of that state. The
ground taken by TIE court in its de
cision is that under the constitution Of
the state the Legislature must for the
purpose of taxation, group property
according 10 its nature, akd not accord
ing 10 ownership According to the
view of the court property tax for
state purposes imposed on the land
and tangsble personal property used
by railroads and canal c. m oanies and
on their franchise, such tax touching
no other property, is clearly uawar-
ranted. One effect of this decision
is to Leave the state treasury in de-
cidedly embarrassed financial con-
dition. The STATE derived large
amount of revenue from ths taxation
from the companies. ard will be
temporarily crippled for lack OF FUNDS
The controller has stopped signing
warrants ultil he can obtain legal ad-
vice rs TO the exact scope of the decis-
sion Meanwhile the state cannot bor
row money withou the ,nsent cf the
people expressed at a general election,
and it will be many months before
additional revenue can bs collected
under q new tax law.

IT is said John b. G. )ugh spoke to
more audiences than any other man
who ever lived. His popular lectures
were delivered s. 567 times up to the
present year. 1t is estimated that he
had spoken before niue million peo-
pie and had travelled 45O, coo miles.
In England and Scotland. during his
three visits TO those countries, he
made 260 addresses. He spoke at
the old university city OF Oxford dur
ing his first visit IN 1854, but SO strong
was the prejldtce against hlm that no
one could be found IN the uniyer-
sites who would introduce him, and
the students groaned and yelled 81
hIm during the entire delivery OF his
speech. But like Beechcr before she
mob and rebel sympathizars in Liver
pool IN 1863, Cough could not be
driven from the platform and he fin
ished his spe, ch n the midS! OF q
storm of yeilS and hlsses. But when
he went there IN 1873 the manners
had changed. Professor Green who
wrote the history OF the English peo
pie, entertained him. Max Muller,
the philolsgist, gave hlm a supper,
and Canon Ellison PRESIDED al his
meetings.

One Million and a Halt.
That is the Amount of Property
Destroyed by Fire at
Wilmington, n. {.
The Fire Originated on a
Steamer and Spread to
the Business Portion
of the City.

A Wlimins ton, n. c., dispatch of
Sunday says: The steamer Baden,
plying between this city and Favette-
vile, n. G, caught fire this afternoon
about four o'clock, just before reach
ing her wharf, and owing to the in
hammable nature of her cargo, con-
slstlng OF rosin, spirits of turpentine,
and cotton, was immediately enyelop-
ed 10 flames. The pilot beaded her
TOR the nearest available wharf, and
the passengers succeeded in escaping,
some by boats from adjoining vessels
and others by Jumping overheard.
when they were quickly rescued. The
steamer landed against the wharf of
the New York and WIimie cten steam
ship company and the fire was quick
ly communicated to The sheds and
warehouses thereon. All the wharfs
and sheds being saturated with rosin
and turpentlne, the spreal of the fire
was rapid, and despite the efforts of
the hremen, became disastrous cot
fiagratlon.
There was gale blowing from the
southwest, and soon the blocks on the
water trout were burning furiously.
AT about 8 o'clock the fire was gotten
under control, but not until 1t had
destroyed 81, 800, 900 worth Of prop
erty.
The Champion Compresses Ware
house Company, the Wright ware
houses of the Wilmington and Wei
don, and Wilmington, Columbia, and
Augusta Railroad Companies, and
severa! boarding houses were also de
stroyed, and in addition TO the steamer
Bla len, the steamer River Queen, of
the same line, was burned TO the wa
ter's edge
The American schooner Lille
Holmes was also burned and will
prove total loss. Over $3.50, 900
worth Of goods We're burned in one
warehouse. Owing to the sparks
waited by the high wind numerous
private dwellings caught fire and were
burned 10 the ground, including those
of the Hon. George Davis, Colonel E.

The General Washington News
THE CABINET MEETING

WASHINGTON, Feb. S-The cabi-
net meeting to-day was mainly de
voted 10 the consideration of the gen
eral question of promotions in the
army and navy, particularly as to The
wisdom of giving the preference III
such matters TO officers soon 10 be re
tired, and who in fact, are unfit nj the
time of promotion for actual service.
The general sentiment was adverse
TO such promotions, except in esppc-
ally merltorlous cases.
THE NAVAL COMMITTEE HEARD FROM
WASHINGTON, Feb. 23.-The mem
bers of the house COMMITTEES on naval
affairs held an Informal meeting yes
terday, at which the question of the
rehabilitation of the navy was dis.
cussed, and au Interchange Of views
on the subject was had. As far as
can be learned, ii was the unanimous
opinion of those present that the
navy should be reconstructed. The
committee will meet TO morrow and
will probably agree upon a report
which will be presented to the house
without delay. The recon mendatlon
involves an expenditure of eight or ten
million dollars. They will recommend
completion Of the monitors already
begun, and liberal appropriation
for naval ordinances Will advise
for the construction of from Is 10 30
torpedo boats aud large expenditure
for torpedoes, and will pro
vide for the construction uf
six or seven steel belted cruisers OF
5000 TO 6 600 tons. These cruisers
are 10 be the main reliance Of the
navy. Their features are swiftness
and power of their ordnance There
is difference of opiniol as to wheth-
er this work should be done in The
navy yard by the government or by
contract and both plans will
probably be given a trial. All
ordnance work will be done in the
yards, and most if not all will be done
at Washington. The construction OF
ordnance will be almost the exclusive
work of the Washington yard, and it
will be the aim to have 1t thoroughly
equipped.
The committee will recommend a
very perfect torpedo system. The
boats used are not expensive, costing
about $50, 600 each, aud are considered
TO be very etfectual as means Of de
Tense, The Committee do not favor
the construction of heavy iron clsds,
which are considered less serviceabl
than the modern fast cruiser armed
with powerful ordnance.

BY the new process of tou2hcning

is the opinion of those who have ex-
perimeEted with the process that wood
can be compressed 10 the extent Of
seventy-fve per cent. and that some
of the timber now considered anti for
