WASHINGTON, August 24.-Matters of
Importance have transpired for the con
sideration Of the Administration, which
we're not anticipated, that have made it
desirable for Secretary Evarts to return to
Washington before the departure Of r. b.
Hayes for the West, and he will accord
ingly be here this week. 1t is understood
that Mr.. Hayes is anxious to conciliate the
Chinese Government in regard to the adj
mission of the steamer Wo Chung, now
due at San Francisco, in order that this
may influence the Pekin Government, and
accelerate the operations of Minister An
gell and Commissioners Trescott and Swift
in their efforts to accomplish the desired
| treaty notifications. 1t is thought that
the Administration, up to this time, has
not had much encouragement as to the
probable success of the Commission. The
new problem presented by the Chinese
merchantmen would not be likely to help
matters much, with its attendant questions
Of discriminating duties and alien ton
mage. 1t is reported that the Administra-
ton is not averse to straining a point in
constituting the acts of Congress governing
the admission of Chinese bottoms. The
technical point o is, does China dis
criminate against vessels of the United
States in her tonnage tax ON tariff duties :?
This question has been propounded to the
Chinese Minister, and the answer will no
doubt be in the negative. This will be sat-
i%sfactory, and Hayes will issue his procla-
nation. If the answer arrives in time the
proclamation is expected to. day. At the
Treasury Department, where the CORE
spondencc has been carried on, it is re-
garded as satisfactory, if United States
vessels are not charged a discriminating
tax, compared with vessels of other ma
tions, or as the treaty provides, that they
have the same privileges as the shipping of
the most favored nation. The statute,
however, presents a different view of the
case, and seems to call for the admission
Of our vessels at Chinese ports ON the pay
ment of 10 greater dues or taxes than are
paid by Chinese vessels themselves. OF
course our Consular reports will show that
u vessels pay no more than those of
other foreign nations, and the whole mat
ter Of the proclamation hinges upon the
term discriminating duties" A member
of the Cabinet, who returned yesterday,

New YORK, August 24.-The World says
Col. Henry G. Worthington, Republican
Representative in the Thirty-eighth and
.Thirty-ninth Congress, subsequently a
United States Judge, and more recently
Collector Of the Port of Charleston, called
at headquarters last night and declared his
intention of supporting Hancock and Eng
lish, and said he proposed to do this with
out severing his connection with the Re-
publican party upon other questions out
side of those involved in the Presidential
election. II believe" said Worthington,
''that /, as a large number Of other Repub-
licans resident in the. South, can better
discharge our duty to our country, and to
our party also, by accepting the declara-
ton Of Hancock's letter Of acceptance than
by supporting Garfield"
California Going for Hancock.
New YoRK. August 24.-The World, re-
ferriDg to a Herald correspondence stating
that California is looked upon by the Re-
managers as likely to give its six
electoral votes to Hancock and English,
and that they are bending their energies to
save the senatorship from the wreck, adds
that the! are doing the same thing in Con-
and New Jersey, and, looking for
q collapse in the national contest, hope to
reduce the Democratic majority in the
Senate, and, if possible, to secure the
House. 1t has all along been the opinion
OF the Grant managers that Garfield's de-
feat would bring their candidate to the
front in 1884.
