 NEW YORK, July 7.-The most dis tinguished parsonage on the passenger list of the French steamer La Bretagne, which arrived yesterday, was his excellency Tsui, the Chinese minister at Washington. If Minister Tsui is correct in his predictions, we are on the eve of good deal of trouble with his government. The Celestial diplo- mat is very considerably worried because for whatever happens he will be more or less held responsible. MT. Tsui's prede- cessor, Chang Yen Hoon, was abused for not preventing congress from passing the Chinese exclusion law, and when the news reached China his angry constituents burned his residence and destroyed his property. The present minister realizes that he does not control MT. Blaine and congress, and he doesn't like the outlook. Through V. K. Lee, his official interpreter,

 A Dose of Our Own Medicine.
 "Unless the United States government repeals the law which now excludes my countrymen from this country we shall treat Americans to dose of their own medicine. I mean that we shall exclude citizens of the United States from the Chinese empire.
 "We hope we shall not be pushed to any measures of retaliation. The Chinese for eign office has sent several demands to MT. Blaine to repeal the exclusion law. We have received no reply from him. Of course, congress alone can set right the present outrage, but the state departm ent Is the proper channel of negotiation. Our treaties with the United States have been regarded as sacred trusts, and we have lived up to the very letter of them. Now, without the slightest warning or excuse, tbe United States cruelty breaks it's solemn agreement and builds up barrier against otiY citizens.
 The Treaty Repudiated. !. After this exclusion law was passed in defiance of all treaties Secretary Bayard and the former minister from China con- fefred, and the result was proposed new treaty with China, which contained the ex- clusion law. When this treaty was submit ted to the emperor and his council it was instantly repudiated. The Chinese govern ment at once refused to entertain any such proposal for 8 new treaty, and demanded that the exclusion law be at once repealed aud the terms ot the present treaty com piled with"
 Waiting to Hear from Uncle Sam.
 What is the present status of the ques- tion in Chinas"
 ''The council of state, which guides the emperor, is simply waiting to hear from the United States foreign office. Your rep utation for fair dealing and honesty with foreign nations has been such in the past that we connot believe you mean to break treaty without reason or excuse. That you have done so there can be no doubt And if we find that the United States means to persist in excluding the Chinese from its shores we shall proceed to the same tactics. The Chinese government will forbid the landing of American citizens in the em- ptre."
 Injury to American Investments.
 "How about the American citizens now residents of China and the American cap ital invested there?"
 "All those will be matters of detail which the council of state will arrange. I em aware that there are great many mill ions of American capital invested in China. American interests in China are, of course, vastly more important financially than our invested interests in the United States. Any rupture between the two nations will, of course, injure the American invest ments"
 "What is believed in China to be the reason for our exclusion laws?"
 Exclusion the Work of Politicians.
 "It is generally supposed to be the work of the politicians. know, of course, your argument about cheap labor and the de struction of fair wages.
 "You say that Chinamen come to America and save all the money they can and then take it home with them-that they don't become citizens We'll, isn't that exactly what every American in China is doing?"
 About Chinese Cheap Labor.
 "How about the cheap labor charger"
 "Why, the Chinese have built your great western railroads and their cheap labor has made possible and has carried through to successful completion vast works and enterprises which would have been impos- sible with other labor. The Chinese are satisfied with small wages and do not strike. When they are driven out the cap- italist will be at the mercy of other for eign laborers who will not work so cheap, and who will combine and strike and jeOpardize capital.
 "Chinese cheap labor has been tried in various parts of the world and is always a success. Look at the great Chinese colo nies at Singapore, the Straits settlements | and other places"
