A New York special says Chins, or at
least some Of the officials OF China, wish
10 retaliate for American-Chinese re-
striction laws by laws prohibiting the
importation OF American kerosene into
China. Chang Chi lung, Niceroy OF
Canton, has addressed memorial to the
Emperor, in which he arraIgns kerosene
as the greatest menace TO the empire. IL
burned up 400 houses in Swatow not
long ago, he says. and just before that
it destroyed a steamer and cost ooV
people their lives. Soon stterward 1t
burned 1000 houses in Canton and de-
stroyed Sl0.000,OO0 worth Of property.
Il is responsible, he saws, for n'ne tentns
OF the fires that occur every winter IN
Canton. He declares that It has done
incalculable injury to property that II
is worse than opium, beng more s"lit
in ITS deadliness, and that II has almost
DESTROYED the native industry 10 peanut
and bean oil. On account of It's EVIL
deeds the Yiceroy says he did his
best last year to kill trade IN
kerosene by raising iDland-trsnslt dues
on it. but the fell destroyer was too
subtle to be driven ont 10y this process,
and the evil was increasing rather than
diminishing. Therefore the Niceroy now
petitions the throne for aid IN his sirug-
gle with the foreign trader who, under
guise of friendship, insists on prohiing
himself by introducing an article hignly
injurious to the vel are of China. Inc
Niceroy points that there IL "no difficult
ty in putting an eud 10 the baneiul trade
because the treaty Of 1881 with America
makes provisions to limit the Chinese
immigration to that country on account
of the competition Of Chinese labor
being Objectionable. and II they can
prohibit our going there because Chinese
labor is injurious to their interests, we
have an equal right TO prohibit the IN
portation OF kerosene when 1t Is lnlurl-
GUS to US. The law that nations have a
right to protect their own interests and
prevent injury being done to their peo-
pie applies to both countries alike II
there he any justice, and when either
Government acts on this principle no oo-
lection can he raised by the other. The
Niceroy therefore formally requests that
a stop be instantly put TO the importation

THE COMING CONSPIRACY TRIAL.
Senator Voorhees, Has Decided Not to Appear
in the Defense of the Gang.

The political standing of three more of the
men drawn in the venire for the tally-sheet jury
trial has been ascertained. This makes nine
teen out of thirty three Republicans to fourteen
Democrats. Coy and Spencer completed their
letters to leading Democrats night before last,
asking them for ali information possible as to
the members of their party who will be sum-
moned as jurors. Up to last night they were
confident that Senator Voorhees, would be one
of the counsel, but a Washington dispatch to
the Journal saws he will not come. It is stated at
the capital that no one will come from there to
appear for the defendants. 1t was originally in
tended that the Senator and Justice Montgom-
cry should be among the attorneys for the de-
fense but newspaper criticism led them to
withdraw The attorneys will be Judge McNutt
and Jason B. Brown for Coy, while Henry n.
Spaan will take charge of his own defense.
Matter and Bernhamer will be represented as
they were on the first trial.
