to the cour tesies of the port These were Mrs Chang Choh Fan wife of the Chinese consul at Honolulu her daughter and a maid The Chinese minister sub sequently to giving advices concern ig the intended

their landing facil itated The Chinese minister does not in tend to drop the matter of the arrest of Tom Kim Yung the Chinese con sular clerk at San Francisco which is said to have been the direct
