Another of the same date, is that
the Chinese Minister had received
from the Governor-General of Can
ton the following cablegram:-
CANTON, February %, 1886.
a cablegram has been received
from Chinese merchants ut San
Francisco stating that the Chinese
in the United States have been most
outrageously attacked. Hearing
this news, the Canton people are
furious and retaliation is threat
ened. How did the American Gov
crnment act in the matter? Can
you not ask the President to adopt
measures for the protection of the
Chinese there and for the prevention
of these inhuman acts in order to
preserve the good friendship of the
two countries? Otherwise the con-
sequences here may be serious.

The New York Times of the 9th,
has despatch from Toronto,
Canada, that at large meeting of
workingmen held there, it was de-
cided to petition the Dominion Gov
crnment to increase the tax on every
Chinaman who lands in Canada to
800, and also to discontinue grant
ing certificates to Cinnamon to re-
turn to Canada after leaving the
country. This action was taken at
the request of the workingmen of
British Columbia. The whole coun-
try is being swamped with China
men and the labor market there is
rapidly becoming demoralized. 1t
was shown at the meeting that
Cinnamon have been cheating the
Canadian authorities for some years
past by their cunning manner, utiliz-
ing return certificates granted tc
them by the Dominion Government.
