Chinese Students Going Home.
Boston Post. |


On Monday next party of about loo
Chinese students, from Hartford and
ether places, leave this city for their homes
in the Flowery kingdom. The Chinese
government, through its representatives
in this country, yesterday closed con-
tract with Mr. VIM. A. Cromwell, of the
Lake Shore 6 Michigan Southern road,
to transport the youthful celestials to the
Pacific coast, from whence they will sail
bv the Pacific mail steamer. Mr.. Crom-
well will act as escort for the party, and
will accompany it as far as Chicago. Mr..
W. H. Jenny, New England passenger
agent of the Chicago, Rock Island & Pa
cldc road, and Mr. Geo. 3. Morton, New
England travelling agent of the Boston
g. Albany road, will 60 with the party a
portion of the way across the continent.
The rail route will be over the Boston &
Albany, New York Central, Lake Shore
s. Michigan Southern, Chicago, Rock
Island & Pacific and Union Pacific roads.
A Post reporter happened into Mr..
Jenny's office there yesterday and there
found Mr.. Cromwell diligently studying
an old Chinese-English grammar and
conversation book, preparing himself for
the duties of the journey. In answer to
the Posts questioning, Mr.. Cromwell said
he didn't know why the Chinese students
were so suddenly recalled, but he did not
think, as Gen. Donahoe did, that the
comet had anything to do with it. The
withdrawal of the students is Chinese
puzzle to many people usually well in
formed in eastern matters. The general
ly accepted solution is that the govern
ment has become dissatisfied with the ex-
pertinent, and wishes to examine the boys
at home to see what the character and
extent of their studies have been. They
have nothing to say about the matter at
the Chinese legation further than an
order has come, that it is comprehensive,
and that it is not intended to send any of
the students to European countries. The
summons was apparently surprise to the
Chinese here, and this fact may be taken
as an indication of the ascendancy of new
and hostile influences at court

former was painted for Mrs. H. H. Pierce,
of the garrison, and the latter for j. G. Bliss.

ment Office hours, these efforts of his are
often made under disadvantages, but they
are highly creditable.
