Chinese Government VIII RetaIiate.

. The New York Telegram states that
Chinese residents Of this country have for
some time been circulating petition among
their countrymen praying the'emperor of
the ''fowery kingdom" to retaliate on
America, and that the petition has already
received 400. 600 signatures. The petition
states that the celestials resident in this
country fear even greater hardships in the
future than those they now endure, and
accuse us of breaking our faith. The blame
for this is laid on immigrants from Europe
and not OH the native born population. The
Telegram prints a number of interviews
with the leading Chinese merchants in New
York. and the tone taken by these mer.
chants indicates that they consider the
situation very serious.

bolt dived into the ground six feet deep on
