The Chinese minister and suite, who
have been away for some time ON a north
ern trip, returned 10 Washington yester-
day. Their reception at Niagara was any
thing but one caaiculated 10 impress them
with favorable idea OF American polite
ness. When the party left the train to take
the carla ges for the hotel they found the
station filled with a great crowd Of peo-
pie drawn thither by the announcement that
the Chinese minister and suite would arrive
by certain train.
AS they emerged from the cars they
were met by loud-voiced expressions of
comment Of every kind and degree. Much
OF this was not of the most satisfying ma
ture from the polite standpoint, and one
Of the accounts of the minister's arrival
at Niagara states that some OF the people
even extended their rudclcss To the point
OF pressing forward To handle the min
ISter's rich silk garments and TO take
hold OF his queue. Several of the suite
were treated in the same manner.
Taken all in all, il could not have been
the most pleasant experience of the Journey,
nor one that either the minister or his
suite will care to repeat at an early date.
The minister's trip was undcrta ken on
account OF his health. He will shortly sail
for Spain, TO which country he is accredited,
and before returning to this country will
visit Peru, which is included in his min
isterial curriculum.

MRS. WALLER COMING HOME.
She Has Been Given Transportation
by Consul Campbell.


by Consul Campbell.
The State Department yesterday morn
Ing received a cablegram from Mr Camp
bell, United States consul at Port Louis,
Mauritius, stating that the wife of ex-
Consul Waller, no " in prison in France, and
her four children, who arrived there last
June viii be sent to Paris by him on the
steamer that sails on the 20th instant
THIS action OF Mr. Campbell was taken
in compliance with instructions from the
department cabled on August 6, which
were sent in view of the great interest
manifested here by the friends OF the
Waller familyI
1t was by no means certain, however,
at that time that the cable would reach
the family in Mauritius, as Consul Camp
bell, III Il dispatch dated June Is, reporting
their arrival, had informed the department
that the colonial government was likely
to turn away large number Of such refugees
from Madagascar in view OF the possibility
of their becoming burden upon the colony.
In letter TO Mr. Campbell dated August
8 the Secretary Of State commended his
kindly attention To Mrs Waller in her dis
tress ana his response 10 the generous
sentiment which every where prevails in
vie of the unfortu nate situation in
which walters family were left after
his deportation to France.
