THE sAcKvLLE s'INCIDENT.

Near the close of the month of October last
 occurrences of deeply regretable nature were
 brought to my knowledge, which made 1t
 my painful but imperative duty to ootaln, with as little delay as possible, new per-
 sonaf channel of diplomatic intercourse Tn this country with the government ot Great Britain. The correspondence in relation to this incident will in due course be laid before vou and will disclose the unpardonaoie con- duet of the official referred to in his lnterter- ence bv advice and counsel with the suHrages of American citizens, in the very crisis ot fine rres1dential election then near at hand. and also in his subsequent public declarations to justify his action, superadd1ng lmpugns ment of the executive and Senate or the United States in connection with important questions now pending in controversy pe- | tween the two governments.
 | The eoffense thus committed was most grave, \ involving disastrous possibilities to the good relations of the United States and Great Brit ain. constituting gross breach of diploma tic privilege and an invasion of the purely oo- | nestle affairs and essential sovereignty or tne \ ooyernmeut to which the envoy was accreolt- ed. Having first fulfilled the just demands of international comity by atfording full op- portunity for her majesty's government to ac' l in relief of the situation considered prolon gstion of discussion to be unWarranteo anc fhereupon declined to further recognize th' diplomatic character of the person, whose continuance in such function would destroy a mutual confidence which is essential to th' good understanding of the two governments and was inconsistent with the welfare ant ! self.respect of the government ot the Unltet | States. The usual interchange of communl cation has been continued through Her MaJes
 tvs legation in this city.

rrsE OF THE SURPLUS.

The requirements of the sinking fnnd act have been met for the year ended June 50, 1aaa and for the current year also, by the nnrchase of bonds, after complying with this law as positively required, and bonds sum- c;ant for that purpose had been bought at a r,rerniuro. it was not deemed prudent 70 TUT ther expend the surplus in such purcnases until the authority to do so should pc more explicit. A resolution, however, having been I nassed bv both houses of Congress, removing Y All doubt as to executive authority. daily Pur, chases of bonds were commenced on the 600 dav of April, 1888, and have continued untll inc present time. By this plan bonds or me government not yet due have been purenaseo 5n to and including the 30th day ot NoVem- ! hay 1888 amounting to $94, FOG, 400, the pre- | rninm maid thereon amounting to $l1,oOI,- e19 9O The premium added to the principal \ of tbase bonds represents an investment yield \ inc about per cent. interest for the time they still had to run, and the saving to the | oovarnmsnt represented by the difference | SetuaaD the amount of interest at pel | cent. upon the amount paid for principal and premium, and what it would have paic \ for interest specified in the bonds if these had run to their maturity IS about $S1' ioo' boo. At first sight this would seem to De nroftabIe and sensible transaction on the prart If the government. As suggested bJ
 fha Secretary of the Treasury, the surplus thus expended for the purchase ot bonds wa | money drawn from the people Tn excess any actual need of the government and wal so expended rather than allow it to remaii idle in the treasury. If this surplus unde the operation of just and equitable law had been left in the hands of the people I
 would have been worth in their business least six per cent. per annum. Deductlni
 from the amount of interest upon the prin I cipaI and premium of these bonds for tn \ lime they had to run at the rate of six pc cent. the saving of two per cent made 10 ! the people by the purchase of such bonds the loss will appear to be 55,76O, OOC This collection would seem to demonstrat that if excessive and unnecessary taxation ] continued and the government is forced [

 the government was in danger of being sut

THE CHINESE QUESTION.

After considering several topics Of minor
 importauce, the Chinese question Is treated as follows: In a message accompa-
 nyine my approval on the first day of Octo-
 ber last of bill for the exclusion of Chinese
 laborers, laid before Congress full informa-
 tion and all correspondence touching the ne- potiation of the treaty with China, concluded
 at this capital on the twelfth day of March,
 1888, and which, having been confirmed oy the Senate with certain amendments, was re-
 iected by the Chinese government. This
 message contained a recommendation that a sum of money be appropriated as compensa-
 tion to Chinese subjects who had suffered ln- iuries at the hads of lawless men within our iurisdiction Such appropriation having been duly made, the fund awaits reception by the Chinese government. It is sincerely hoped that by the cessation of the influx ot thif class of Chinese subjects, in accordance with the expressed wish of both governments, the cause of unkind feeling has been permanent ly removed.
 Foreign relations are next treated in the message, and in regard to tonnage duties ade" | tailed communication is promised during tne ! present session of Congress. He recommend | a reorganization of the consular service. GOVERNMENT FINANCES.

New York, Nov. 12.-Quong Hong Luong
is the new Cal Fong of Chinatown. He was
chosen yesterday to fill the place of the late
Gen. Lee Yu Doc, who was laid away last
week with all celestial honor. According to
the constitution of the municipal govern
ment which the Chinese Of this city have
established among themselves, the council,
which represents our grand jury and board
of aldermen, must always contain a full
membership in order to transact business.
Chinatown was thrown into intense excite
ment over the election. As only Cinnamon
of good business standing and known veracity
were eligible to membership in the council
there was great rivalry among the Mon
golians.
While American citizens were battling over
their election last week the 10000 Cinnamon
of this city were engaged similarly. Mott
and Pell streets were filled from early morn
till dewy eve with Celestials who peddlsd
ballots and fought wordy wars over their
candidates. The ballots we're deposited during
tho week. They were dropped through a slot
into an iron bound chest, which was securely
locked. At noon yesterday tho chest was
opened in tho presence Of the councillors, and
the little bits of brown paper with their
hyerOglyphics were counted After two hours

was tho victor, and that gentleman was sum
