The legation arrived in this. CITY
about l.15 p. m. on a special train
and is staying at the Grand Central
Hotel. They will remain in Panama

THE PROMISED INTERVIEW.

luxury of not rising with the sun, a
reporter of the "Star & Herald"
called at the Grand Central Hotel
to obtain what information of the
Chinese legation now staying there
that would be acceptable to the pub
lie. Mr.. Tam Kin Ohio, one of the
attaches, received the reporter, and
courreousIy answered his questions.
"Oan you tell me-" asked the re-
porter, about the public career of
the Minister :"
'This is his first diplomatic appoint
ment," answered the attachG. "He
has however been in the public SER
vice OF China more than twenty years.
The positions he has occupied are
those OF Officer of the Second Rank,
with the Peacock Feather decoration,
Civil President of the Cavalry Board,
Member of The Board of Foreign
Affairs and others. BY reason OF
his accomplishments he was deemed
the most suitable to represent his
Government at Spain, the United
States and Peru, and not the last TWO
only as you mention in to days yves
terday'S) article. He has held this
appointment about a year now. He
first went TO Spain, where be was
received by the Queen and also
decorated. He stayed in Madrid but
fou" months and then went to Wash
ington, which is his headquarters,
and where he will consequently spend
the most of his time. He remained
at Washington six or seven months
consecu;iveIy before coming here.
He goes to Peru to present his
credentials and be recognized by the
Peruvian Government. As there are
no important matters pending be-
tween China and Peru, this act is
largely of a formal nature. The
Minister will consequently not stay
longer than four months in Lima, re-
turning to Washington at the end of
that time by way of the Isthmus."
"Do all the members of the lega-
ton speak English Spanish" was
asked.
"OnIy two OF US speak other
tongues than the Chinese. Mr.. LANG
Shing speaks English, while I speak
both English and Spanish. He was
educated at Harvard University.
Cambridge, Mass, U. S. A., which,
as you must know, is considered

there are now a great number of Eng

four pages of report by Wells,
Fargo & Co., (the great Western
Express Company, of the precious
metal product OF The United States

and British Columbia.
According to the last mentioned re-
port the outputs of precious metal,

follows;-Gold, $33, O74,O32; silver
$5l,571, 118; copper, $40, 1862, TAG;
lead, S9,631,O73 Total gross pro-
duct, $1O4, GAS, 1853. Taking the gross
