Sir: * * * The Cantonese authorities have paid $8,139 as the cost of the wharf belonging to Messrs. Russell & Co. destroyed by the Chinese mob in the riot of September, 1883. This payment is the only one that has been made of the various claims, and I cannot but commend to the Department the energy and ability of Mr. Seymour, the United States consul at Canton, in securing its adjustment.
