The New Chinese Ambassador.
CHICAGO, April 20.-The Chinese Minis
ter and suite arrived this morning, and
will stop till tomorrow. The Minister in
terpreter Gays concerning their reception
in San Francisco: Collector Hagar was in
the Palace Hotel when we arrived. So the
Surveyor, Mr.. Tinnin, came on board and
said that, with instructions from Collector
before His Excellency could be allowed to
land. The reply from the Minister was:
"Our credentials are from the Emperor to
the President of the United States, and
not to the Collector. If the Collector
wants to see them l prefer to telegraph to
Bayard and remain on board two days
rather than show them to him." upon
which Mr.. Tinnin said that he would land
US on his own responsibility. In the
meantime we were delayed an hour and
three-quarters, so Mr.. Hagar has either
disobeyed his riders received from Wash
ington, or he has taken upon himself to
ignore the Ambassador as u representative
of China. On Friday evening Hagar, hav-
ing received orders from Washington to

the Minister. He said it was q mistake.

fornia. With regard to the Chinese who
have been killed at Rock Springs and
other places, their families are very indig-
nant about it, but the Government a,
large and the Viceroy are doing all they
can to cause this feeling to subside, and
don't think anything will happen to Amer
lean citizens in China. except in some
cases. The low class of Chinese might do
something, as the law class lof Americans
has done in this country. OF course this is
unexpected. To refer again to the Hagar
affair, our Minister told Mr.. Hagar that he
was very much surprised at his reception
, that he had come to strengthen the rela-
tions between the two countries, and not to
weaken them.
