says there are about $50 Chinese in Chica-
go. A majority of them are laundrymen,
are cigar-makers, and others sell
fancy goods. Some time in 1877 David
Jones started the first Chinese school in
Farewell Hall. From 9 the number of
Chinese scholars has risen to 80. There
is another school on Fourteenth street,
under the superintendency of Mr.. Layton.
The Chinese in Chicago have all come from
the provinces of Canton. Those here are
divided into two companies or families,
the Mois and Lees. The percentage Of
those who use opium is perhaps 25. Dur
ing all my experience Of the Chinese in
Chicago, says Mrs. Robinson, 1 have never
seen a Chinaman actually drunk, though
I have seen one slightly intoxicated.
Many of them return to China, and again
come back to this city. There is a suscep-
tibllity in their minds for anything like
kindness that makes them the most CRATE
full people. As soon as you have gained
his confidence a Chinaman cannot suffi-
GENTLY befriend you. Until that time,
however, he is inclined to be suspicious.

Of any other alien race, and the Chinese
would learn to read and speak before the
others. There is one Chinaman in this
city who is married to a white woman, a
southerner. She is the mother of a little
girl, who is a fair mixture of the Oldest
and newest race in the world. The opin-
ion prevalent on the Chinese bill is, that
it will be beneficial to those now in the
States. The Chinese seem generally pleased
with the passage of the bill.
Guiteau weakening-The Desire to
See Him Executed.
WASHINGTON, May 20.-Guiteau begins
to show signs of physical weakness. This
has become more noticeable since it is
probable that the Court in Banc will not
order a new trial. The fact that he is no
longer permitted to receive visitors also
causes him much depression. A great
many applications have been made for
tickets to witness the execution, and the
railroad companies have been asked to
make special rates. 1t is not generally
known outside of Washington that the law
of this district as to the execution of a
murderer is very strict. They are required
to be hanged within the Jail building, and
only the Sheriff and his officers, the Dis
trict Attorney, surgeons and a jury of 10
men are permitted by law to be present.
The place of execution is not visible from
any position outside Of the Jail itself, and
the only means by which the execution can
be witnessed, save by Is or 20 persons, re-
CURED by law to be there, is from the win
dows of the adjoining houses.
The Baltimore & Ohio Railroad Compa-
ny has received a proposition from one
locality to transport 40 car loads Of per-
sons anxious to witness the execution.
Charles Reed still continues very hopeful
that his client will at last obtain a new
trial. He doubts if any of the Judges have
expressed their views to any one, and says
that one of the most prominent members
Of the District bar states that the points
against jurisdiction and against the adj
mission OF the testimony of Mrs. Dunmore
are fatal errors. Read, however, added
the significant statement that if Guiteau
went to the gallows he thought he would
go without a whimper,
The Williams. Blackburn Duel.
WASHINGTON, May 20.-The people Of
Washington yesterday morning j~oyfully
hailed the prospect Of an impending duel
between Senator Williams of Kentucky
and Representative Joseph Blackburn Of
the same State, as a relief from the dull
ness Of Congress. 1t leaked out that these
sensitive and chivalrous gentlemen had
had a serious difficulty. The Frankfort,
KY, Yeoman gave Blackburn the credit for
the passage Of a bill to build a public
building at Frankfort, and neglected Will
liomc uha had not t6a h;11 %hro,-l Az
Senate. Williams wrote to a friend in
Kentucky disparaging Blackburn, and the
latter hearing of it, addressed a note to
Williams, calling him a liar. Old Cerro
Gordo put on his war paint and called In
Senators Hampton and Butler to coach for
him. Blackburn summoned Representa-
tive Carlisle to his assistance. Peaceful
propositions were made and rejected.
About this time the story got out, and the
principals having had time for mature re-
Election, concluded to make up. Black
burn went over to the Senate and had a
long and serious talk with Williams, and
the latter smilingly announced Afterwards
that the whole difficulty was at an md.
Star Reuters Indicted.
WASHINGTON, May 20.-It is understood
that the Grand Jury has found true bills
against R. Rerdill, J. W. Dorsey and s.
W. Dorsey, charged with frauds in connec.
ton with the Star, Route service, and that it
has placed them in the hands OF the Dis
trict Attorney, so that he may draw up
new Indictments upon them. The Post
says it is reported that the presentment OF
ex' Senator Dorsey was obtained by a vote
OF IA in favor to 8 against. At the ad-
journment of the Court Mr.. Kerr had q
consultation with Judge Witt, after which
the Judge announced that he would be in
Court tomorrow. This, it is assumed. is
for the purpose Of receiving the report of
the Grand Jury. The indictment now
pending, and on which a trial has been Or
dered, will be dismissed. A continuance
has been had, with the object OF procur.
ing an indictment from the present Grand
Jury, it being generally admitted that a
under this would be more pro-
bable.
A Petroleum Panic.
CHICAGO, May 20.-Something very
much in the nature of a panic struck pc
troleum yesterday in Bradford and Pitts
burg, the cause being the development in
Warren County, Pennsylvania, OF two new
wells, located about seven miles apart, and
a combined iow Of nearly ] 900
barrels per day. The announcement of
fact caused a big drop in prioos. the
crude petroleum market falling from cox
cents per barrel down to 65 cents in Brad |
ford, and from 10 to 68 cents in P%ittsburg. I
The volume Of the speculative dealings
took place at Bradford was UMPIRE
cedented; sales of 2 1893, 900 barrels being
