what is alleged to be a genuine copy of an i'm

tation will be furnished them from any part OF
the United States to any part of the Chinese
empire, except the province of Tuong Tung,
whose citizens, because Of superior numbers. are
required to pay half fare The proclamation,
while it embodies threats, broadly intimates
that the Chinese government intends to speedily
retaliate upon the American export trade and
American residents in China for the long con-
tinued outrages upon the Chinese in this coun-
try.
Neither the Chinese legation in Washington
nor any prominent resident of the Chinese colony

Statement of a Chinese Consul.

New YORK, Feb % --The Mail and Express
publishes the following interview with Ching
Hoy, the Chinese consul in this city, based upon
st. Louis dispatch saying that the Chinese i'm
perial government contemplates rataliatory
measures on account of the treatment accorded
Chinese subjects in this country: II cannot say
that am advised that an imperial proclamation
has been issued compelling all Cinnamon in this
country to return home. but I can say that the
consul-general at San Francisco has sent out
notices advising all Cinnamon to leave. Wheth-
er the government is back of this / cannot say
As to the suggestion of retaliation, have no
doubt measures Of this kind will be taken by our
government. If Cinnamon are driven out and
outraged here, why can't our people drive out all
Americans from China2 The good fame of this
country has been disgraced by the recent out
RACES. and the question has become very serious.
There is no projection to the Cinnamon at all.
But American merchants and missionaries are
we'll treated in China, and whenever ill-treated
the government takes prompt action, not only
paying damages. but redressing the wrong done
What don't understand is, why the good people
of the East here remain silent. 1t certainly was
not the intention of Congress that merchants
and others should be treated in this way. If
nothing is done, the commerce between the two
countries amounting to $80,000,0 600 annually,
will be destroyed"

was fair, and the Rocco of Mr.. Bigelow was
very good. The play is frightened by a great
