A Narrow Policy.

HARTFORD. July 15-There Is . pro-
liability that the promising educational
scheme which the Chinese Government
has been trying in this country for the
pas: ten years will sl.eedi.y come to an
end. There is reason to believe that
Chin Ian Phin and Young Wing, the
ambassadors to this country. have been
superseded by new minister, who is
instructed TO put a stop to the educs-
tionsl project and haze those connected
with 1t, students, instructors aud at
tendants. sent back TO China. The
headquarters of the commission has
always been in this city, where it owns
fine building for residence. There
are at least 1000 young men in the
country. about 500 being in various
colleges, while the others are in pre-
paratory schools. They are picked
boys Of good families, have exhibited
great aptitude for study and have
made themselves fAvorites everywhere.
The abandonment of the enterprise, if
it ia decided uron. will occasion much
regret. 1t was originated by Young
Wing. himself Yale graduate and one
of the most progressive Chinese states
men of the age. He has resided in this
country during the past ten years and
with the sanction of bis government
adopted American dress and married
an American wife. an intelligent lady
Of Avon. in this State. For several
years he has been associated with Chin
Ian Pin ~ charge of the embassy to
this country. 1t is reported that both
these gentlemen are preparing TO re-
turn to China and that the first boys to
be returned will be those of the re-
Gently formed school of teleg rapby.

mauder of the long lost whaler Mount
Wollaston, referred to in San Fran.
cisco dispatch today, was Ebenezer
Faye. OF Massachusetts,, whose nephew,
+ Eaton. is a resident of this city. 10
conversation this morning Eaton gave
an interesting story of the intrepid
sailor whose fate is still enshrouded in
mystery. Faye is native Of Pocasset,
Mass. about So years of age, and has
been sailor since he was nine years of
age. and has accumulated fortune es
timated at $500. 900. Although no trace
Of Faye has been found, his family do
not give him up for lost, as he has sew
eral times had such remarkable escapes
from death. He has always been looked
upon as q very lucky man. He has
made number of Arctic voyages, and
has been shipwrecked three times, but
always came out right. He sailed to
the Arctic ocean. where his ship was
driven ashore. and he vas forced to re.
turn to San Francisco on the Helen
Mar, having saved only the whslebone
he had caught. AS soon as the next
season opened. he went up to where
the Cleolins had bsen driven ashore
and found that his oil had been saved
by the Esquimaux for him. He was on
very friendly terms with them and they
had great regard for 'Csppy Nye,' as
they called him, owing to the many
acts Of kindness he had shown them
and his efforts to prevent the unneces-
sary killing of the. walrHs which forms
their principal food. They were very
grateful for this aud would do almost
anything for him. and this leads his
family to believe that be has been shell
tered by them. either on Herald Island
or somewhere in that vicinity.
