WAsnINGroS, March 3j.-General Rufus

Army of the Potomac, is Quartermaster
General. He is 4 jolly old dog, who will
bethe centre OF very delightful circle OF
good livers. He proposes sending all
officers in this department OF rank near
Iy approaching his own, now in Washing
ton, out of town as speedily US possible.
Colonel K. n. Batchelder, who was his
right hand man in the Army OF the Poto.
mac, is to be brought here, and will be ap.
pointed chief manager Of Old "Ruie's'
amusements. "Rute" asks but a quiet
game OF american whist y quiet glass OF
Conac; but that little must be prepared for
him. So Batchelder will soon he
in our midst. "Purveyor" to the
Quartermaster General OF the Army OF the
United States. "Rnfe" is genial old gem
tleman, but he lacks many rednements OF
manner characteristic Of tie polished gan-
tlemen OF the world. For instance when
lie came into office last week be asked his
chief clerk to bring up phissubordinates and
present them to him. Many OF the clerks
in his office are decaycd geptlewomen, the
widows and daughters OF army ard navy
officers. Most OF them are as proud as they
are poor. 1t did not occur to General In
gals to humor them SO iar as to 90 to their
rooms in his building rather than to hu-
miliate them by requiring them to come
to his. Howbeit they came, long line
OF them, headed by the chiet clerk, be-
hind whom walked stately dame, the
niece OF an Admiral OF the navy, re-
Gently deceased. They found the Quarter
master General absorbed in conversation
with awell known Grant Republican. So
absorbed was he that he did not see at first
the ladies standing at his door In fact, he
did not seem to see them at ALL They stood
there perhaps five minutes, growing hot
and cold by turns, as they realized the
depth OF their humiliation.
Then the Admirars niece turned to the
chief clerk twlto ts gentleman, aud
bIushed for his superior) and Said softly
Perhaps we had better return to our
rooms. The general seems busy" Tho
chief clerk thought that would be the wise
course, and back the thronelCss, Crownltss

later to be presented in squads to the dis
engaged old soldier.

The Eject of the RestrictiOn BIII-Th,
Presidents Probable Action,

WASHINGTON, March 25.-Mr. John Rus.
sell Young has received his commission Us
Minister to China, and is preparing to de.
part. In recent interview with the Pres.
ident, the relations between the United
States and China were fully discussed, and
1t has been agreed that no definite in.
struCtions viii be given him until all meas
ures pending before Congress on the
Chinese question are disposed Of. A rea.
son given to strengthen the belief that the
President will sign the bill Just passed is
that both bis friends, Senator Jones and
General Grant, are in favor OF II. The
Chinese Minister told reporter this morn.
ing that he had not determined, as re.
ported, in case the Chinese bill is isapproved
by the President, TO transfer his embas-
sy TO Spain. He said that under the bill
some ten thousand Cinnamon in Cuba and
twenty thousand in Central America and
Mexico would be forced 10 remain there
because they could not 90 home without
stopping at San Francisco. He said the bill
would cause much embarrassment to the
Chinese in the three places named, for
the reason that they go on certain occa.
sions TO celebrate a Chinese feast, and be.
sides, the bodies OF all Chinese dying in
this or any other foreign country are, after
a certain period, sent back to China. A
prominent official said this morning that
President Arthur would undoubtedly send
the Chinese bill back to the Senate without
his signature.
1t seems to be the general opinion that
The Pacific coast Senators were too conf.
lent when they said the President would
sign the Chinese bill this week. It seems
probable that no action will be taken by
him until after the next meeting; on Tues.
lay. Some of the opponents Of the Bill
express the hope that It will be vetoed, and
4 ten.year bill suggested to Congress, but
i is little more than a hope, and a faint
one at that Jones, Of Nevada, stands lust
behind the throne, and Grant, who favors
: ten.year bill, outside Of army matters,
ioes not seem quite so powerful as he was.
Much regret is expressed that Page, Of
California, who was in charge Of the Chinese
Bill in the House, should have seen fit to
;hoke OFT the opponents OF the bill. Messrs,
Gambler, OF Massachusetts, White, OF Ken
.ucky, and Browne, Of Indiana, who had
exhaustive speeches in opposi.
ion to the bill, were refused even five min
ties in which to explain their votes.
