Why the Chinese Students Must Go
Home.

A recent Easton (Pa.) dispatch says:
"Four years ago, through the influence Of
the Chinese Ambassador, l20 young China
men were sent to this country by the Celes-
tiaA Government to be educated. Three OF
them came to Lafayette College, and their
studious habits, intelligence, vivacity and
gentlemanly department have caused them
to be great favOrites. Lac: evening they re.
ceived sudden and imperative orders to re-
turn to China, and are compelled to leave
here to morrow for New York, whence they
will Immediately take passage for home.
The Chinese Commission sent over here to
examine and report on the progress, etc. {,
Of the students has full power to act, and is
not in any way responsible to the Ambassa-
dor. The Ambassador was reported to have
endeavorcd to induce the Commissioner to
allow the students to remain and graduate,
but the Commissioner is said to have re-
ported to his Government that the students
have adopted American habits, discarding
every distinctive sign of nationality, hiding
their queues, dropping the use Of their
native tongue and failing to observe the
customs or religion Of Confucils. Therefore
he has ordered the whole company Of 10
to return, and there is no appeal.'

ployes than passenger trains. owing to
the greater precautions taken IN rum

LATER.

THE official bulletin issued at noon on the
18th by the Presidents physicians states
that at the morning dressing it was observed
that the pus from the parotid swelling had
found its way spontaneously into his right
external auditory meatus, through which it
was discharging. Some pus was also dis
charging through the incision made into the
swelling. The pulse was 11S; temperature,
100; respiration, Is. The $3.50 p. m. bulletin
says the patients condition had not materi-
ly changed since noon. He continued to take
by the mouth the liquid food prescribed,
and occasionally asked for it. The enemata
had again been given at regular intervals as
q means of administering stimulants as well
as nutrition. They were retained without
trouble. Pulse, 116; temperature, 800;
respiration, Is. The Chicago Tribune of
the 9th sums up the news regarding the
Presidents condition to the following ef-
feet: While it could not be said there was
much improvement during the preceding day
and night, It was, at the same time, true
that he had not lost ground, and that he held
his own better than was anticipated by the
physicians. He took more than the usual
quantity Of liquid food, and assimilated it,
and no symptoms of gastric disturbance fol-
lowed. His mind was clearer than on the
day before, due, doubtless. to the fact that

slept more than on the previous day, and the
color OF his skin and his general appearance
was more healthy. The pulse and temper
ature were somewhat higher than on the
previous day, however, and the character
~
thought to be as healthy as it had been.
There was less of it, and 1t appeared to
have = watery appearance. DR.. Boynton
thought this was owing to the Presidents
enfeebled condition and the thinness of his
bloed. Mrs. Garfield had not yet lost hope.
She firmly believed that her husband was
going to recover. In his evening dispatch
to Minister Lowell Secretary Blaine stated
that the President g condition was one of the
greatest gravity and danger; but at the
same time the patient had weakened less
than the physicians anticipated, thus Civ.
ing rise to . slight feeling Of encourage
ment.
IT is stated that on the night Of the 25th
President Garfield recognized his wife sit
ting by his bedside, and, addressing her in
. weak and trembling voice. said: "Crete,
little rest" Mrs. Garfield begged to be
permitted to stay little longer, whereupon
the President remarked that he feared the
time was at hand when they should separate
forever. Mrs. Garfield was severely shaken
BY this last remark, but bravely mastered
her feelings and appeared composed.

As part of the value Of his Richmond
drafts he received two other drafts, one on
Henry C. Black, and the other on Mrs.
KeDney. Leaving Albany he went to Roch-
ester, and his wife was sent for to join him
at Albion. The detectives were now on his
trail, and at Albion Pinkerton's men found
the wife, Marvin having deserted her. Hav-
ing probably learned that the authorities
were after him he failed to meet her, but
had sent her o bogus notice, inserted by
himself In the Rochester papers, announc.
ing that her mother had been dangerously
hurt by being thrown while riding in Rich
mond. He advised her to 60 at once to
Richmond by way Of Harrisburg, and sent
her money to pay her fare. She returned,
and is now with her friends in Virginia.
Marvin went to Buffalo and other cities, and
finally crossed into Canada. The detectives,
still following the clues, discovered that
H. c. Black and Mrs. Kenuey were resi-.
dents Of New Haven, and that Black knew
Marvin as General Morton, and that he had
wife and daughter living in that city.
Black said the General always seemed to
have plenty Of money, but was always from
home at intervals for weeks or months.
About this stage in the chase Pinkerton
became convinced that the man he was look.
ing for was the same that he b I'd sought for
two years ago under the name of David
Lindsay, for marrying and deserving two
young ladies in this city. One Of them he
took to Washington and there abandoned
her. The other he married later, and, after
taking her to Chicago, he borrowed $500
from her and left her in that city. Mr.
Pinkerton refuses to give the names Of these
two victims because they are now both
married happily and living In this city.
Other circumstances also convinced Pinker.

The Autopsy IN Dispute.

The features of the dead president have
become very much discolored and spotted.
1t is said, in explanation of this, that the
emba!ming process was not ablc to over
come tho blood poisoning and was
therefore not perfect. The features
are now so changed that his most
intimate friends fail to recognize
any resemblance to tho living man.
A leading surgeon says the report of the
autopsy fails to give general satisfaction
to the medical profession, who regard it rs
incomplete and lacking in details. They
are anxiously awaiting the promised revised
report. which is to be made up after each
attending surgeon writes his opinion, and
submits it to another consultation of all
those who were present at the autopsy. 1t
has become generally known that DIR.
Boynton is not satisfied with the official re-
port of the autopsy, declaring it to be full
of gross errors and false statements. 1t is
further said that he charges the attending
surgeons with having suppressed many
important facts, and with not having
made the autopsy complete. but only
partially so. 1t is mot probable that DR..
Boynton will have anything to say at
present, but at a later date it is under.
stood he will make public detailed account
of the autopsy, and how it was conducted
He thinks it was unwise that the surgeons
who treated tho president should have
conducted the autopsy, and belieycd that
eminent surgeons of Philadelphia and
New York should have been called to
make it.

AT WASHINGTON.
THE DEAD PRESIDENT.
President Arthur's Family.

The household now called to the White
House By the death of President Garfield
has no lady presiding over it. President
Arthur lost his wife a year ago last Jan
uary, and acute feeling over her loss is
among the sad reflections which press
upon the president at this time. She was
the daughter of Lieutenant-Co -Commader
HerDdon of the United States navy, who
went down on his ship, the Genital America:
A gold medal in recognition OF
his bravery was voted by Congress by his
widow, and monument to his memory
was erected in the naval academy grounds
at Annapolis. Mr.. Arthur married Miss
Herndon in the early part Of his career IS
a lawyer in New York city. He has two
children-one youth of II named after
his father, but called Allan by the family,
the other, girl of II, named Nellie.
These, with the servants, constitute the
household of the modest Lexington ave
nue. residence.
Tho president has ono brother, Majo,
VIM. Arthur, Of tho regular army. lie
has three married sisters. OF these Mrs.
Mary McElroy, of Albany, has spent much
time at his house of late, and has looked
as much after his household affairs as she
could. President Arthur's accession t.
his new responsibilities has been too re
| cent for him to give any consideration tc
family arrangements for his residence 4
Washington, but if the cares of her owl
family will permit, Mrs. McElroy viii
most probably be the lady who will pro
side in the White House.
