It is too soon to know about the Chinamen yet. They came from San
Francisco to see the Chinese Minister in Washington. There was to be a
change of Chinese Ministers in this country, and it was expected that Mr.
Yang Yu, the gentleman who was leaving this country, would go back to
Peking, and so the See Yups wanted to make him the bearer of their
messages.
Mr. Yang Yu has, however, been appointed to St. Petersburg, in Russia, and
it is doubtful if he can be of much use to his countrymen, as he may not
go to China for several years.
It is to be supposed that the Chinamen under sentence of death will have
the sense to remain in this country, where they are safe. EDITOR.
