Washington Matters. 
Although the instructions to Minister McLane 
as Minister to China, issued more than six years 
ago, have just been made public, they are consid¬ 
ered by statesmen litre as interesting, in view of 
the fact that they are in accordance with the 
policy pursued by the administration through 
him toward Mexico. Ab to China, he was en¬ 
trusted with larger discretion, and advised to 
establish the most unrestricted intercourse bo- 
tween that country and the I hiited States. It was 
considered most desirable that any commercial 
treaty he might be able to conclude, should pro¬ 
vide not only for reciprocal free trade in all arti¬ 
cles of the growth, produce, or manufacture of 
either nation, but for thc transportation in vessels 
belonging to each. The instructions read:— 
Should the revolutionary movement prove suc¬ 
cessful, and the political power of the country 
pass into other hands, the instructions continue, 
you will, at your discretion, recognize thc gov¬ 
ernment de facto, and treat, with it as with the exist¬ 
ing government of the country. The empire should 
be divided and several governments be organized 
within its present limits, promising stability, you 
will present yourself to each ns the American 
representative, and enter into treaties with them.
