He was much beaten, and he is now in Hospital. Re had a wound on his lead, clean cut, done evidently with some sharp instrument. He complained of being otherwise beaten about the body. He had marks on his arm and chest. The Japanese sailors threw stones and bricks over the wall at the Police. Nobody was hurt. The boy scratched me with a knife, the wound is not a severe one, but it proves the truth of my statement. 1 arrested the boy after this, but the sailors tank him from my custody.

N. Croule, P.C. stated At a little before 4 heard a noise outside the p on Friday Station, and I went to see what was the matter. met Sergeante Macdonald and Murphy with a Japanese sailor in their custody, and there was a large crowd of sailors following. I walked behind the Sergeants to the Station, to keep the crowd back. When we arrived at the Station gate, the sailors attempted to force an entrance, hat they were kept back by the constables. Then I saw Belective Jones attempting to take a billet of woort from one of the sailors, when a small Japanese boy rushed at him with an open penknife in his hand, Jones let go the sailor in arrest the boy. He did arrest him, but the crowd made a rush at Jones and myself and rescued him, 1 received a number of blows on my right arm with billets of wood while I was assisting Jones. (The, witness here bared his arm which was found to be a mass of bruises,) My truncheon was taken from me by the Japanese, my helmet was knocked off and I lost my puggarce. We then got inside the compound and shut the gate. Meanwhile the sailors were throwing pieces of wood and stones over the wall. A little inter, they left altogether.

P. S. Thomas MacDonald, stated Shortly hefore 4 p.m. yesterday, I was told that some Japanese sailors were assaulting a Policeman in Broadway. I ran down Wuchang Road to Broad- way, and when got there, I saw a Chinese policeman running from the direction of the Japanese Consulate towards me. About 20 yards behind him, there was a Japanese sailor. He was running after the policeman, and had an open knife in his hand. There were about Bo inore behind the man with the knife, and they were also running. I caught hold of the man with the knife, and then the others came up, I could see several of them had open knives in their hands. There was an officer with them. He had on a blue frock coat, white helmet and trousers, and he wore a long sword, He told me to let the prisener go. He spoke English well. As I saw it was uncless trying to take the prisoner by force, more sailors coming all the time, I asked this officer to go to the Station with me: He said he would, and went some distance with me, attempted to take the knife away from the sailor, but the officer would not allow me. This sailor made several attempts to run after the Chinese constable. After going about 100 yards, the officer stopped and said he would not go to the Station, I tried to persuade him to go with him, Just then Sergeant Murphy, came up, and we at once arrested the man who had been running about with the knife in his hand and took him to the Station. The officer came up and several times attempted to rescue the prisoner by catching hold of Sergeant Murphy and myself The sailors made rushes at us, but Sergeant Morrison kept them back. The sailor was eventually taken to the Station and locked up. I can. corroborate the evidence of Jones and Grouleff as to the disturbances outside the Station.

remote and unsettled regions. We regret lo say that while Chinese labourers, to the number of some 80,000; will always be sure of some kind treatment from even the higher classes of America, the American missionary in China finds his friends only among the weak and poor; the higher classes too often being only concerned as to the best way, to oppose, slander, and Imperi..

Suppose, however, that while the Chinese Inbourer is the one against whom legislation is directed in America, that the American mis- sionary shall be lowered to that class in China, and so be the object of restriction and in certain casca prohibition, what would be the lesson to learn? The population of the United States may be reckoned as one-fifth of China or 60,000,000. The number of Chinese labourets, being reckoned at 80,000, is regarded by some as so large a number, owing to the complications and rivalries with other foreign labourers, that it is deemed worthy of treaty limitations. Therefore in China, the possible number of American missionaries, considering the complications and rivalries with other for- eign missionaries, would be 400,000 instead of the 170 American missionaries how at The Chinese labourer is work in China. encouraged to remain in the United States and brome note of an American; the American mission.ry would likewise be encouraged to rem in in China and became more of a. China- man The Chinese labourer is generally objec- tianable in the United States because of his Eastern character and connection with secret organizations; and the American missionary is objectionable in Chinn only because he is an American, and because connected with the Christian religion. The,Chinese labourer has a pretium put on him if he owns property to the amount of $1,000; but the American missionary finds it difficult to secure property in China, even when in accordance with the special direc- tions of the Imperial Government it is purchased Tar religious purposes and the panic of the Church.

Looking at these facta, and making these com- parisons, we arrive at three conclusions. First, that the United States Government in prohibiting any more Chinese labourers from going to the United States for the next twenty years, while making no such prohibition for objectionable persons from other nations, is effecting a measure, however defensible, to say the least inconsistent with and in striking contrast to the tone and sentiment of the renowned Burlingame Treaty," and especially these oft-quoted words of brand friendliness: "The United States of America and the Empire of China cordially recognise the inherent and inalienable right of man to change his home and allegiance, and also the mutual advantage of free immigration and emigration of their citizens and subjects respectively from one of curiosity, country to another for the purposes of trade, or as permanent residents,"

Second, that it would be to the advantage and honour of the Chinese Government to always treat with unusual respect and friend- liness those respectable classes of other countries, rather than allow them to suffer in any part of China, either from the common rabble or the conservative gentry, contempt, injury or slander. Third, that here a lesson might be learned as to the "missionary question," viz., to encourage missionaries, by respectful and friendly inter course and guarantee of

habits, and in due time become subject to Chinese laws properly nodified, and to the continual protection of China. In fact, the one hope of China might here be learned, viz., that if the Chinese Government. Imperial and Provincial, would only give the clearest and most reliable of proofs that mission- aries and their work would be protected and helped, missionaries in turn would become the strong friends and useful allies of the govern- ment, and then, when in the future other of foreigners should wish to dwell in the Interior of China, it would be on the same basis, there- by securing for herself an honourable place among the strong Powers of the world. Certainly the future position of China cannot well be below the standard set by the treaty under discussion, This Opera has had a run of over 700 Nights in and which many are inclined to regard as too low and narrow a one, even though certain temporary evils may arise from a numerous objectionable class, such as the Chinese labourers seem to be regarded in the United States.

One of them, I was told, was the man who had assaulted the Indian constable. I went to him and told him to come to the Station with me. He would not come, so I took him. Or the way to the Station, he bit my finger and kicked me on the leg several times. I got him to the station and locked him UP and afterwards went to the assistance of Sergeant Macdonald in Seward Road. He was trying to take a sailor with a knife in his hand to the Station. An officer with a blue coat, white heimet and one gold stripe and curl on his sleeve took hold of Macdonald, and told us to let the man go. We asked the officer, who spoke English, to go with us to the Station and bring the man with the knife. He refused to do 60, we took the man with the knife to the Station and on the way, the officer, several times pulled me by the arm. I told him that if he did not desist, should have to take him into custody also. We were followed by about too Japanese sailors most of them with open knives." I asked the officer to tell the men to put up their knives and go quietly away. He laughed at me, and took no notice. We locked the sailor up. The officer went to the Station half an hour afterwards in company with three other officers. This was all the evidence taken, the Injured Chinese constable being too much hurt to appear. The Consul Intimated to Mr. McEuen that he had no authority over the sailors but that he would send a copy of the evidence to the Japanese Admiral at Woonung, and when a reply had been received. would communicate it to the Police.

"THE NEW TREATY BETWEEN CHINA AND THE UNITED STATES.

Buch being the status of Chinese subjects in the United States, what would be this status of United States subjects in Ching on the same principle, of reciprocity? In brief, oficiale and merchants, teachers and students, would be üllowed fuil right in all parts of Chias, not merely at "ports of trade" but in provincial capitals and other convenient centres of trade" and education.

The third point to be noticed in the new treaty, and one requiring only a short consideration, is that of protection. In Art. IV, the following language is used: "It is hereby understood and agreed that Chinese labourers or Chinese, of any other class, either permanently or tempora. rily in the United States have for the protection of their persons and property all the rights. that are given by laws of the United States to citizens of the most favoured nation, excepting the right to become naturalized chiltene, and the Government of the United States re-affirms its obligation to exert all its powers to secure pro tection to persons and property of all Chinese subjects in the United States." Fidelity in executing this we have no reason to doubt, notwithstanding the constant danger of Conflic with vast masses of immigrants as yet not Imbued with the principle of law or of the
