A EeniaI Of the stmtement of What China
Would DO.
NEW YoRK, July 1.-THE Herald's
Washington correspondent teiegrapiis
the result Of his inquiries at the Chinese
legation concerning the recently pub
lished statement that Minister Tsui had
said that unless the United States re-
peals the Chinese exclusion law. China
will exclude Americans from her do
main. The Herald correspondent says:
Mr.. Ho, the interpreter of the lega-
tion, after conveying The Herald's ques-
tions to Mr.. Tsui, said: The minister
requests me to make the statement to
you. The conyersati with the re-
porter who wrote the interview occurred
on board the steamer La Retagne dur
ing her recent voyage from Hav-e to
New York. What this minister said
and what he is quoted as saying are
widely different. The minister said that
China had been given an ample provoca-
ton to retaliate III return for the action
of the American congress,
He said that such proposition had
even been advanced by a few hotheads,
but, he added, it had never been for
moment entertained nor was it likely to
be- China, he informed the interviewer,
hoped that the American congress
would yet undo the wrong it had done
her, and no other thought at present
filed the minds of her statesmen This
is the cnly reference the latter made to
retaliation during the interview
Referring to the statement that Min
lister Tsui had also declared that after
the passage Of the expulsion act, Secre-
tary Bayard and the former minister
from China formulated new treaty,
which embodied the exclusion law, but
that the Emperor of China had repudi-
ated it, the minister denied having
made such stat ement, He said there
was treaty Tending between the two
countries when the exclusion act was
passed. 1t was a restrictive but not an
exclusive obligation. There has been
no ther treaty since.

vent Earle from speaking. The meet
ing, however, was strongly Earle.
Capt. Tillman had moderately fair
hearing. He was frequently inter
rupted, but was able to deliver his
speech.
When Earle was introduced scene
began. He faced the bowling mob for
q half hour before being able to say a
word. The howlers were massed in
front of the stand The supporters of
Earle finally charged upon the body,
drove them out ana took possession of
their ground. The row still continuing
ON the outside, the mob was again
charged and the ringleaders were
dragged off the ground and locked MP.
During this time there was several
fights, and pistols We're drawn. A gen
eral fight with firearms was expected.

ing was Earle's. Ii was one of the few
Aerious defeats Tillman has sustained.

Of the men seized him from behind, and
choked him almost to insensiOility. The
two men then gagged him and bound
his limbs with ropes. They then secured
jewelry and diamonds to the value of
$4,000 and 800 in cash, and made their
escape through back window.
After some little time young Knox
succeeded in dragging himself to the
door and giving the alarm. 1t was
afterward learned that the thieves had
secured a cab and had been driven to
Mill Plain, small town few miles
distant. but no further trace of them
can be found. Young Knox is suffering
severely from the rough handling he re-
ceiged. His throat is badly lacerated,
his face bruised and several teeth are
knocked out. The robbery created the
greatest excitement, and searching par
ties have been out in all directions all
night.
