VICE-CONSUL WANTED.
The Seattle Post Intelligencer, of 4th ult., says:—A Chinese vice consul, in Scattle. iz Ikely to be the result of the Chinese sailors striking for their wages on the steamer Eva, how is the harbour, When it came to having. a spokesman the Chinese were unable to get anything better than an interpreter, and it was necessary to send to Portland for the Chinese vice consul, the only one lid, the Northwest. "He will arrive here to-day. C
A number of Chinese merchants took up tha _matier yesterday, and from prezent indications | there will be a metting shortly in as effort to
secure for this city d'vica consul.
In speaking about the maiter yesterday, I.
| A.' Nadeau, questor general of this, Alaska-
Yakon-Pacific expositión, said:
"There is good reason for Seattlę baving a Chinese vice consul. Our business with China
is growing all the time, and where a few years ago we only had an occasional clipper ship. sailing from here we now have advota! "big steamship lines. That trade in important; as ́evident from the harbour master's report, pab- lished but a few days, ago. A vice consul can facilitate shipping, and there are many little matters that his presence will greatly síd. - Our trade relations with China are very pleasant, and a gentleman representing the Chloese go- verament's commercial interests wouldincrease, the good feeling that now-prevails,”—-
Tuck Tong, of the company that bears his
name, said:. “I think the presence of a vics 'consuj bare will materially assist our commerc)- al relations both with this country and our own. It is not Yai to-day alone, buti0-marrow, that we need a commercial representative here." Shing Wo, who conducts a general mer. chandise store, said: "The vice consul who is at present located at Portland has a very.. Iárga téritory to cover. I believe that it would be better for him to be located in this city, for it is bere where all the shipping arrives from China.
When the Chinese crew on the Ex demanded their wages it was necessary to sand for him, Had he been her be question could kavo beca taken up immediitely. There is, however, a larger field than even that for a commercial. agent."
J!
Chick Kee, manager of On Chong Lung & Co., was very much pleased. when the question was put to him. He said: "I am certainly in favour of having a vice, consol located in Seattle. We Brought the question up to the minister at Washington several youts ago and got turned down, but that is no acason why we cannot make anothereffari, especially in view of the fact that the trade with China is increasing.
• Light | all the time. There are many thiogs that a vice consol can do te belp both the shippers to China and those who receive freight Added to this is the facility with which the Chinese. _themselves_can_appoâl_to_a_representativa of their own government. I want to ses vice consul here, and will do my pare to get süch an appointmell made for this city."
