Curiosity as to How Blair's Rejection Will
Affect the Post at Peking.
WASHINGTON. May 1.-Some curiosity is
felt to know how the rejection of Mr.. Blair
will affect the post at Picking. Colonel
DENLY, the Minister appointed by CleYe-
land, is still on duty, and OF course will re-
main as Minister until his successor ap-
pears and qualities. Colonel DENLY is an
Indianan, and though differing from him
politically, is personal friend of the Presi-
dent. That fact probably explains why he
has been permitted 10 remain in China so
long after the return Of the Republican
party to power.
New YORK, May 1.-The Mail prints the
following as Shanghai special: If Min
lister DENLY had been recalled and gotten
home before Blair was appointed to come
to China, no opposition to Blair would
have been heard of in Picking If there were
no English ambassador in Picking, there
would be only cordialty for Blair. Ii is a
case of an Anglo-free-trade Democrat
against live true American,

From time to time he added small amunts
to the original deposit until he had several
thousand dollars placed to his cIedit. He
selected his sister. Mrs. Jane McDonough,
to lock after his account and to hold
the handbook. He says she took the
matter in charge and went to and
from the bank, carrying his deposits and
seeing that the proper credits were entered
upon the book. On March 20, 1873, it is al
