HEADING HIM OFF ROUND THE WoRLp. -
Hong Kee, Chinaman, who has been for
some time playing diamond cut diamond,
with the sharp and enterprsing San Fran
cisco merchants, and who lately victimized
several of them to the extent of SIS, 900,
sailed last Thursday for China i'll the steamer
japan. But kilograms were at once sent to
Hong Kong, by way of Now York, London
and Ceylon, to arrest linn and recover the
goods. Hong Kee. this Chinese Swart-
wonrtcr from San Francisco, offers almost IL
lndcrous picture, rs he hurrics to Hong
Kong. pigtail in air. as fast as steam can
carry him, only to be confronted and con
founded there by the fatal message which
has been sent in exactly the opposite direc-
ZION by electricity to meet him. That the
San Francisco merchants can thus head him
off round the world, is surprising and
significant fact. How it confuses our no.
tions of East and West! How strikingly it
indicates the part which electricity and
steam are to play i'll the future all over the
globe! How suggestive is it of the changes
which these potent modern agencies have
already made and are yet to make on the
map of the world! Hcnceforth, the United
States m list occupy the proud central posi-
tion hitherto allotted by the Chinese them
selves to the howcry kingdom.

! the disinterment of the remains Of this un.
fortunate lady, says:
The order for the disinterment of Mrs.
Surratt was obtained from the President by
Rev. j. A. Walter, pastor of st. Iatrit S
Church, at 10 o'clock Monday morning,
and was Immediately placed in the hands OF
General George D. Ramsay, Commapdant
of the Washington Arsenal. Positive orders
were given that all show and parade on the
occasion was to be avoided Gen. Ramsay
detailed Maj ior Hill, of the army, to super
intend the disiuterment
The only persons present ut the tlsiuter-
ment beside the workmen. were Rev Father
Walter, of ST. Patrick's Church; Mr.. Ton
merry, n friend of the family; Major Hill
and Mr. Harvey. The box containing the
remains was of rough pine boards. Upon
the top was strip of wood, painted white,
with the name "Mrs. Surratt" painted upon
it in black letters
The box was opened. and although the
body was somewhat decomposed, it was not
offensive. The dress, gaiters and black silk
bow at the neck wero all in II perfect state
of preservation. The hair was also per-
feet, and did not seem to have been dis
arranged iii the: least A steel arrow pin

was led to execution, was also in place. A
lock of the hair was clipped off for Annie
Surratt at her own request. Upon examin-
ing Mrs. Surratt's feet, it was discovered
that the rope, with which hey feet were tied
Just before the drop fell, had disappeared,
and this at first occasioned some remark,
but those who Witnessed the execution will
remember that when Mrs Surratt was cut
down, the rope became looscncd and it was
thrown aside.
The reruains were Immediately placed in
another box and taken to Mount Olivet
Catholic Cemetery, where the remains were
placed in a vault. The remains will be to-
morrow morning transferred toa new burial
case. The transfer will be made in the
presence of Annie Surratt and her brother
Isaac and one or two intimate friends of
the family. The remains will be Inferred
in their final resting place at Q o'clock
The ceremonies will consist only of reading
the burial service Of the Catholic Church.
Rev. Father Walter will o(ficiate and the
ceremony will DO conducted in strict pri-
vacy.
