tlycs Of the Associated Press this morning
called al the Chinese legation here and
had an intcrvicw with Minister Yen In
regard 90 the dccliuatiDn Of his govern
mcut 10 receive senator Blair as accrcd-

Yen said through an Interpreter that lac
had received q cabegram from the CHI
ucsc foreign office which hewa- instructed
20 law before Secretary Blaine without
DELAY. expressing the uuwillinRncss Of the
emperor tO receive Blair. Other than
this Yen has received no Instructions,
written or otherwise from his govern
mcut on the subject The exact language
Of the cable, OF whether reasons for this
action are given, be- failed 10 state. Per-
-Onally he has "a very high opinion ot
/ senator Blair.
Al The time senator Blair was noml-
mated minister 90 China, Yen was Ia Peru,
! 10 which government hc is also "A repre-
| sentative cf China. aud did not return Ia
] The 'nItpd States until early IN the pres
put month llr never had occasion to
ascertain what had been Senator Blalr's
attitude tn China or the Chinese residents
/ ~ fhls country. and not until hls. return
/ bod thr senator. uftnfrnrHa on The -
nese puc~ tiuu as reported In the COngrc--
-iunal Record been brought tO his atteu-
! tIuu. The minister conveyed the lmprrs
sion that hc simply stated the facts 10 his
, government aud had not sought influence
It's decision, either iavOrably 10 the -ena-
tor or uuiayOrably.
This action Of the Chimes authuritle.
has not created as much excitement M
q had been anticipated by many. The pro.
cppdIug not q very unusual one aud
cannot be- construed as indicating an un-
friendly feeling toward this government.
