He has resided in this country during the past ten years, and, with the sanction of his government, has adopted the American dress and married an American wife, an in- teligent lady of Avon, in this State. For many years he has been associated with Chin Ian Pin, in charge of the Chinese embassy to this country. It is reported that both of these gentlemen are preparing to return to China, and that the first boys to be return. ed will be those of the recently formed school of telegraphy.

Commissfonsrs' Decision.

Commfssioners' Decision.
 Yesterday City Clerk Pigott received the decision of the railroad commissioners upon | the hearing held July 18th for the extension of Webster street easterly across the tracks of the New Haven and Northampton road, and for the extension of Jackson street across the tracks of the New York, New Ha- ven and Hartford railroad. The commis- sioners in their finding say:
 s'On consideration we do disallow said crossing of the railroad of the New Haven and Northampton company at grade by said proposed extension of said Webster street, and do further determine that said highway shall cross over said railroad by bridge not less than fifty feet long in clear span from the easterly line of the layout and location of said railroad.
 'tAnd it appearing that it is not proposed to lay out or construct said extension of Jackson street across and upon 8 level with the NY, N H. & H. R. R. Co.,, but it is proposed to carry said street over said railroad by a bridge, we are of the opinion that we have no jurisdiction over that part of said petition relating to said extension of Jackson street, and for that reason dismiss the same.' The Chinese Students.
 There is probability that the promising educational scheme which the Chinese gov ernment has been trying in this country for the past ten years will speedily come to an end. There IS reason to believe that Chin Ian Pin and Yung Wing, the ambassadors to this country, have been superseded by new minister, who isinstructed to put stop to the educational project, and have all those con- nected with it-students, instructors and at- tendants-sent back to China. The head quarters of the commission has always been in Hartford, where it owns & fine building for residence. There are at least 100 young men in the country, about 50 being in various colleges, while the others are in preparatory schools. They are picked boys of good fami- lies, have exhibited great aptness for study, and have made themselves favorites every where. The abandonment of the enterprise, if it is decided upon, will occasion much re-

Quarreling Over a Condemned Murderer.
 ST. LOUIS, July 15.-The case of the murderer Kring has assumed very singular shape. Last night the chief justice of Su- preme Court ordered stay of the execution which was to have taken place to-day. This morning Circuit Attorney Harris tried to make the sheriff hang Kring anyhow. The sheriff decided to respect the order of the chief justice. There is great excitement over it all. Many lawyers say Kring can never be hanged now and there is 8 strong feeling against Chief Justice Sherwood.

Bold Robbery of a Bank Clerk.

NEW YORK, July 15.-At 1:30 this after noon an alarm was received at police head quarters announcing the fact that three men, apparently peddlers had stolen $1O,OOO in bills. Later it vas aseertained that the money belonged to Jacob Ruppert, a brewer. His clerk, Charles Messersmidt, drove in aight wagon from the brewery in Ninety-second street to deposit the money in a down town bank. With him was the office boy. They carried $9,a00 in bills done up in package and bag filled with silver dollars. At forty second street their wagon was run into by a vendors wagon in which three men were seated. The supposed peddlers sprang from the wagon Two attacked the clerk, while the third cut the reins of his horse. In an instant they seized the package of bills,

The Senatorial Deadlock-Miller within
 Five of an E1ectiOn-Many Pairs Made
 Over Saturday.
 ALBANY, July 15.-The balloting in joint convention to-day showed, as usual, no re- suit, but on the long term Miller secured an additional vote, being that of Senator Lynde. When his name was called he rose and re- viewed the proceedings to secure caucus and their failure. He then said he would have been glad to secure the nomination of his candidate (Wheeler), but as he could not he deemed it to be his duty to accept the can- didates of the majority. He appealed to the convention to forget all differences and vote for Lapham and Miller. The vote for this term showed Miller to have received "A votes, Fish II, Herman 53, Wheeler z, there being 12 scattering votes. The Conkling ballot gave Lapham 70 votes, Conkling 32, Potter 53, Evarts and Woodford each one. Senator Forster, hitherto voting against Conkling but not for Miller or Lapham, voted for the former, and Assembly, man Sheehy, who has returned from a voted for both. This brought Lapham with III u1u6 OI du 01cCt1Ou du1 1h11loE uV6. It is said that I. s. Carpenter will be here to- morrow, which will reduce Miller's margin to four. This is a figure which it has been said for several days that four stalwarts are looking for so that they can change their votes and elect. An election is therefore possible tomorrow. After the one ballot the joint convention adjourned.
 The Senate adjourned without voting on the resolution for final adjournment
 The deadlock appears tonight worse than ever. A number of pairs have been made to last till Monday or Tuesday. None of these are staIwarts The stalwarts met this morning and agreed to maintain their posi- tion for another day. It is said that they agreed that this mornings meeting should be the last and that Speaker Sharpe an- nounced to them formally that they should after to-day vote for Miller and Lapham. This statement Sharpe denouncss as false. A stalwart leader says: Sharpe has said to me that he will vote for Miller certainly and possibly for Lapham He intended at first to vote that way to-day and believe will tomorrow. Ihave my belief on his own words" Senator Robertson says there is every reason to believe that they have enough votes to carry Miller through to- morrow, or shall certainly have them in few days. All the half-breeds talk in this extremely confident way. The stalwarts do not talk in a positive way the Democrats not at all.
 The joint resolution for adjournment at p. m. tomorrow passed by the Assembly yesterday comes up in the Senate to-mor- row. The half breeds have arranged to talk the resolution to death. If they suc- ceed an adjournment cannot be had before the end of the next adjournment.

Rapid Progress of the Land Bill.


 Rapid rosress of the Land Bill.
 LONDON, July 15.-The House of Con- mons to-day made unexpected progress on the Irish land bill in Committee of the Whole. The thirty-seventh clause of the bill was reached, and it's remaining clauses are of so unimport ant character that their passage may be very speedy and the bill may be re- ported for it's third reading any day this week. It is now the middle of July and only four weeks remain before grouse shooting begins. The country members and majority of the others are anxious to get away by that time The opposition see that the government is determined to push the bill through at all hazards. The policy of the obstruction has been tried to it's uttermost and has failed and the opposition is now willing to see the bill pass the House in it's present shape and go to the Lords. The opinion now prevails that 1t will pass there with but slight altera- tion.

 WASHINGTON, July f5.-Last night was a very comfortable one for the wounded Pres ident, and the favorable symptoms that con- tinued through the night and that were pres ent this morning gave renewed hopes of his ultimate recovery to those who have faith fully watched by his bedside since the tragic deed that laid him on an invalid's couch. The usual febrile symptoms did not make their appearance till late yesterday afternoon, and began to disappear again soon after z o'clock in the evening, the fever at no time being as intense as on preceding days. His condition this morning was favorable and showed marked improvement. His physi- cians report an entire absence of fever, and marked improvement in his general tone, ap- pearance and appetite. The cooling appar- atus is now in excellent working order, and it is not only possible to cool the Presidents room, but also all the surrounding rooms and railways in the west end of the mansion. After the usual morning examination, his physicians issued the following cheering bull letin:

position is with the verb of motion pre-
viously expressed. Jesus came from Gal
lice to the Jordan, and there or eOhen
there was baptized by John" The re-
visers have given the translation into in
the margin, but appear to have been as
much at fault as the Baptists in regard
to the real meaning of the evangelist.
The next thing to be touched upon will
be the mistakes Cor infelicities) of the
Authorized Version growing out of the
unnecessary confounding OF one Greek
word with another. These are noticed
in chapter iv of the Companion. Due
allowance must here be made for the in
adequacy of the English language at best
to represent perfectly the innumerable
expressive delicacies of the Greek. DIR.
Roberts has some fine remarks on the
difference between the two words for
Love at John xxi 1917, and does not
fall into the fanciful extravaganza on this
head of which Trench is guilty in one of
his books. Here the revisers merely call
attention in the margin to. the fact that
two Greek words are employed.
The mistake of the Authorized Version
at John X; Is, of rendering two Greek
words "fold" instead of rendering the
second OF them flock" has already been
mentioned.
The neuter gender is followed by the
masculine at John i: IL. This is insin-
uated by the revisers in their translation
=" He came unto his own, and they that
we're his oa0n received him not"
The Companion also calls attention to
the two words rendered temple in the
Authorized Version. At John X: %,
Acts x: %, ETC., the word used means
the sacred enclosure; but at Luke XII 81,
the building or sanctuary" So at Matt.
XIII: 80, etc. Dr. Roberts might have
said that pinnacle of the temple" in
Luke is not the apex of the house, and
that Judas cast the thirty pieces of silver
within the curtains of the sanctury itself

For the Central Presbyterian.
The Age of Trees.

MesSrs. E'dStors,-Your article in q re-
cent number of the Central Presbyterian
under the head of Another Little Mis-
take Corrected, induces me 10 give you
the result of an observation 1 made and
published some twenty odd years ago
little dreaming that it could have any
bearing on the question Of mans antioui-
ty or the truth of Biblical chronology.
The theory that the age of tree is indi-
Gated by the number of concentric circles
OF its woody fibre, was know, very gem
orally received and had, in one instance
at least, influenced the decision of a Vir-
glnla court in an important land case. I
was therefore not little surprised when
| found the theory falsifed by an obser-
walton about which there could be no
possibility of doubt. In the first or Sec
ond year Of my planters life in Albemarle
county, | had burned plant-bed at the
intersection of two branches, each of which
had firm banks of clay and gravel, not at
all liable to be changed by washing, and
fences well defined the boundaries of the
bed. In the preparation of such beds
every tree is cut down and every shrub
grubbed up, and the land subjected to q
burning process, the intensity of which
may be imagined when I say that the
then practice was to burn about eight

in their homes, they may then be willing
to build church, but they will never
learn that in churches built for them by
others. One of the foundation stones of
Christianity is self-denial, and Christian
self-denial teaches us to spurn the thought
of asking others to do what we can do for
ourselves.
