EPEa1fzTI0n

New York. Feb. 22.-The Nail and
ErDreSs publishes the following inter-
view with Ching Hoy, Chinese consul in
this city. based on ST Louis dispatch~
saving that the Chinese imperial govern
ment cGntemplates retaliatory measures
on account Of the treatment accorded
Chinese subjects in this country. "I
cannnt say aE2 advised that an imperial
proclamation has been issued compelling
all Cinnamon in this country 10 return
home. tIut can say that the consul gen.
era! AZ San Francisco has sent notices
advising all Cinnamon to leave. Wheth,r
the government is back Of this I cannot
say. AZ tG the suggestion of retaliation,
haze no dOubt that measures OF this
kind will lie taken by our government il
they are driven ont and outraged here;
Why can't our people drive out all Amer
irsns fTGE China? The good name of
This country has been disgraced by tile
recent ontraccs. and the question be
comes very serious. There is no protec-
ton IL Cinnamon at all, but American
merchants aud missionaries are well
treated IN China, and the government
takes prompt actiCn. not only paying
damages. hut rcdressing the wrong done.
What I don't understand is why the
good people Of the east here remain
silent. II certainly was not the inten.
ton of congress that merchants and
others should be treated in this way. II
nothing is done. the commerce between
the two countries amounting to $40, ,C00..
0G0 GnrnalIy. will be destroyed"
