China's Objection Illogical.

at must be conceded by the Chinese
government that this is not the time to
discuss the propriety of legislation which
has become the supreme law of the land
which commands the obedience of all per

soRs who may he duly appointed United
States minister to China is bound faith
fully to observe and aid in the execution
of the existing laws. This ground of OBJ
lection to Mr.. Blair, the president could
not take into account in selecting another
envoy. 1t is, however, illogical in this
that the objection Of China being avowed ~
against the existing Legislation rather than
the legislator, three years of friendly in
tercourse we have passed sin ce the law was
enacted without Chinas discovering that
the existence of the law istcf was a bar
TO the reception of an envoy representing
the country which enacted it. If Mr.. Blair
may not be received as minister while that
law remains unrepealed, and because of its
existence as a law. it is not easy to recon-
cile that position with the continued
friendly reception Of the present minister
of the United States at Pekin

THE CHINESE EMBASSY.
SENATOR BLAIR INDICATED BY
THE GOVERNMENT.
Text OF Part of Secretary wharton's Lot
tor PubIished-Senate Unanimous in
Their Denunciation of tho Chinese
Government.

WASHINGTON, April 10.--The following
is the full text of the most important part
of the letter written by Acting Secretary
Whai ton to Minister DENLY, Oct. 6, 1891,
concerning the declination of the Chinese
government to receive ex-senator Blair.
1t is prefaced with a statement that the
position which China had assumed in the
matter Seems to require the frank ex-
preston of the views of this government"
He says that Mr. Blair, having perempto-
rily resigned his office, there is no ques-
ton Of his going to China, but the OBJ
jections of the Chinese government to his
reception are open to inspection, and a
clear understanding is necessary in the
interest of international good will. lie
therefore says: while the sovereign right
OF any government to determine tho &C
ceptability CT foreign envoy admittedly
exists, the comfy and courtesy of nations
in practice confine the exercise of this
right within well marked limits. If, as
IN abstract proposition, it be said that the
right may he exercised without assigning
reasons, it is equally clear that to refuse
an envoy without assigning reasons woul'l
be an extreme step. Ionce, as general
principle, the refusal should naturally be
justified by reasons - true of themselves
and SO evidently su fiicient as to command
the respect and acquiescence of the Ell.

Blair Injuriously Represented.

The communications Of the Chinese
government in Mr.. Blair's case appear to
fully recognize this, for the government of
the United States is in terms invited to
admit The sufliciency of the reasons adj
duced and to signify it's acquiescence by
sending out another minister whose pub
lie record shall not be open to the objec-
tions alleged against Mr.. Blars public
record so far as those objections rest on
allegations of fact in respect of the views
concerning the Chinese people and nation
which are alleged 10 have been enter
tsined and uttered in the legislative de-
bate by Mr.. Blair, the government of the
u ited States cannot admit their suf-
ficiency. A careful examination of every
public utterance of Mr. Blair in the course
of his debates attending the passage of the
Chinese bill in the senate conclusively
shows that Mr.. Blair has been iniuriouslv
represented. In point OF fact. the true
record of Mr.. Blair, while in the senate,
shows him to have been first and last
respectful to China and just to her people.
The objection to receive Mr.. Blair because
he cast a vote for the exclusion act is in
reality an objection to receive any person
as minister Of the United States who, in
| his character as senator or representative
| in congress, has cast vote for any meas
ure which is obnoxious TO the Chinese gov
| eminent,
