MI Randall went to New York yesterday and
had long talk with Mr.. 1iden. The visit just at
this time could have, OF course, but one object, and
there Is the greatest curiosity, therefore, to learn
the result OF the conference. We are promptly In
formed by the newspaper correspondents how the
Visitor was Impressed, and what direction the con-
ference took; but on these subjects may take
outside statements for the present with more than
the usual allowance OF SALT neither of the gen.
tlemen concerned are accustomed TO do their hunt
ing with a brass band.
Ii cannot be long now, however, before the
leaders must show their hands. III Tiden Is to be
the nominee, he must soon let 1t be understood
that he Is willing" for otherwise he will be a
stumbling block In everybodys path No doubt
yesterdays conference had an important bearing
on this point, and hence Mr.. Randalls actions In
the light OF his acquaintance with MIR Tilden's
views, viii be closely watched by politicians on
both Sides.

A CELESTIAL COMES no GRIEF.

The First Assignment OF Business on
Record by n Chinnman In This Coun-
try.
Washington Chinese merchant named j.
All Hen jackson has como to grief through
the treachory Of brother Mongolian. The
ways Of the latter were very dark and his
tricks wero treacherously vain. All Hon
started his almond-eyed brother in the
chrome business several months ago and sent
him south to dispose Of tho wares In true
"Melican man " fashion. The stranger went
south, sold the pictures, and failed to re-
turn to Washington with the pro-
ceeds. All Hen waited in vain,
and cast frequent sorrowful glances
toward the land Of alligators and early vege-
tables. The picture seller did not return, how
ever, and All Hen is several Thousands Of
dollars out of pocket.
Tho sequel followed yesterday when All
Hen made an assignment in favor of his cred
itors through Messrs. Moore and Wright, as
trustees. He made bill of sale to secure
$1,000 indebtedness to Samuel II. Thompson.
He has assigned all his goods, chattUs, and
property, comprising tea and coffee stands in
the Center market, Western market O-street
market,and store No. 29l7 NJ street northwest
TO the above trustees. This is said to be the
first legal assignment ever made by a China
man in this country. The celestials in this
city are somewhat excited over the event, as
All Hon is looked upon as u man of promi-
nonce by the laundrymen and others.
Ah Hen said to Mr.. Moore yesterday, while
talking over the matter: Him heathen
