·COMING AMERICAN TOURISTS.
-CANTON VISIT ABANDONED.
[From Our Own Correspondent.]
Canton, roth March. The second party of American round-the- world tourists, consisting of seven hundred odd members, is expected to arrive about the iniddle of this month on a contemplated visit to the elty of Canton. The American Consul au Canton is reported to have communicated with H. E. Viceroy Yuan,, informing bìm of the coming visit and requesting him to accord them adequate protection as was extended to the party last year. In reply, the Viceroy in formed the Consul that, though the recent dis- turbances in Canton have been suppressed, the state of affairs at present in mill unsettled. Bis Excellency therefore asked the Consul to adviso the tour.sts not to extend their vikit to the Southern Capital. The Viceroy's ropi, ia which he declined to comply with the Consul's request will no doubt bu learat with regret by the touring party. The first party, who visited Cantos Inst year, was welcomed by the people, and they were able to do the "sights" of the city of Canton with oat encountering any trouble. However, the Viceroy has now declined to extend his courtesy to the second party and alleged as his excuse the recent upheaval which has since baan suppressed. This action on the part of the Viceroy were yesterday adversely commented apon by the local newspaper Nom Yurt Peo as being inexcusable and tending to discourage fanign visitor to Canton in the future.“
