A CHINESE REFORMER AT SAN FRANCISCO.
Mr. Rowland Malkers, who describes himself as an honorary metuber of the Chinese Reform Party writes from it, Clarendon Koud. Holland Park. London. W., to the Standard as follows
On April 6, Dr. Sun Yat Sen one of the leaders of the Chinese Reform Party, arrived at San Francisco. After being detained at the docks ine fun days. under the Chinese Immigra tion Law, he was informed that he would not be permitted to Jansl. and he has consequently had to return to the East. Dr. Sun intended stay ingis San Francisco with friends for a brief period, and then proceedling to London, so that he could discuss certain important matters relating to the Chinese Reform Movetant. This extraordinary conduct on the part of the authorities at Sau Francisce is probably unknown to the American Government, and we are of opinion that it is the result of the intrigues of the Chinese officials at that port. The refusal to permit Dr. San to land in America has put us both to very great iacou venience. Wo depend, to some extent, upon our Colonial friends, we are beyond the reach of the implacable Manchus, for financial assistance in carrying out our work in China, and the American action in this case may be misunder stood by the Chinese ut San Francisco Prachi ing the gospel of Reform in China is a costly work, both in blood and treasure.

"NO PROTECTION AT ALL AT NEWCHWANG,
Mr. C.

THE PLAGUE AND CHINESE EMIGRANTE, Mr. LYTTELTON, the Colonial Secretary,reply- ing to Sir W.

He (Mr. Lytteltou) believed this was the case. So long as the medical advisers of the local Government did not regard the conditions wider which the Chinese Isbourers were in-year onded 31st March troduced into the Transvaal as involving undue risk, and subject to such precautions as they thought necessary, he did not, as at present advised, propose to interfore. The length of the voyage from China was largely in excess of the period of incubation of the disease, and this very great- ly reduced the risk of the introduction of plague. Mr. BUCHANAN asked the Colonial Secretary whether, owing to the outbreak of plague at Hongkong, the charters for the steamers on the point of starting with Chinese indentured labourers for the Transvaal had been cancelled.
