A letter dated January 12, 1887, from Tsungit- Yamen, of the foreign office, to Minister Denby, in regard to the coming of Chinese to this country, contains the following raph: “evenly outages of a serious ‘nature—such as driving the “hinese from their fields of labor and Places of abode or trade, burning and murdering them—have been repeatedly committed.

Mr. Hoon, in his repy to Secretary Bayard, states that he also has several things which he in- tends to propose, but cannot, under his instruc. Uons, do so until the outrage cases are settied. Reterring to the outrages he says: “You kindly ave me repeated assurances in person Unat in demnities would be awarded and tue cases seutied within acertain Ume, wich 1, in my dispatches, more than once communicated to the foreign oifice, but nevertheless they stil) remain unget- Ued;" consequently, I find” myself placed in a Taluer delic.te position, which it seems hard for ine Lo exiricaie myself irom, It seems premature Tor Us to enter into negotiations for concluding a treaty, as suggested by you, at the prevent 10 ment.” ‘THE CHINESE MINISTER'S PROPOSALS. ‘The correspondence shows that on March 18, 1887, the Chinese minister left a document giving in detail and minutely the plan proposed by the Chinese government in a letter to Minister Denby dated January 12, 1587, Lo probibit tue emigration Of its subjects UO Uuls couatry.
