An importation of 100000 gold by Ca
madam banks was announced in connection
with the return movement Of the precious
metal.
The absence of evidences of artificiality
in this movement has inspired confidence
in its ability to relieve the money tension
of few days ago. Leading foreign houses
continue to predict liberal shipments dur
ing the week, notwithstanding the fact
London cables are opposed to this theory.
Money on call fiuctuated between q and s

overcome the snail opposition of room OPP

late been noted. That the movement WAS
deliberately undertaken is evidenced by
the fact that the well Informed were fully
advised Of the intention early in the day.
The short interest In Western Union was
again active in liquidating outstanding
contracts as the result OF rumors announc-

Hallway.
The accompanying diagram will show
their arrangement.
The Use OF the Rooms.

The Use OF the Rooms.
In the hallway there will be a door
erected. or an attendant of the viceroy
and rel resentative of the hotel will
be stationed there. 1t will be abso-
lutely impossible for any one to pass this
point except the members of the party and
those properly accredited. The parlor at
the junction of Vermont avenue and
street, a large, handsome apartment, as
are the others, will be utilized as the
viceroys salon, where he will receive pub
lie officials. The adjoining parlor will be
used for the reception of those on more
intimate terms with the visitor. The large
parlor down stairs will be closed to the
public and the elevator in 1t will be de-
voted exclusively to the use of the Chinese
ambassador. The dining room is an apart
ment about twenty feet square. lighted by
large windows looking out on 1 street.
Even the hotel servants will not have &C
cess to the suite of the vicerOy.
The apartments are the same as those
used by President Cleveland when he came
here for his second Inauguration.
A State Reception Probable.
1t is expected that Secretary Olney will
extend to Ii Hung Chang the same courte-
sy that Secretary Gresham extended to
the Spanish Infanta on the occasion of her
visit here. 1t will be remembered that the
diplomatic corps was invited to meet the
lnfanta. /, such is the case, the reception
will take place in the three large parlors on
the first floor fronting on Vermont avenue,
where the infanta received the diplomats.
These parlors have been the scene of
many brilliant social events. They were
inaugurated by the wedding reception and
breakfast of Baron and Baroness Zcd-
WITT, the latter being Miss Caldwell. Baron
Zedwitz was the victim of the recent shock
ing yachting accident in England. The
decorations on this occasion were the finest
ever seen In Washington, and the presence
Of the entire diplomatic corps in full uni
form made scene memorable for its
briliiancy.
Secretary Blaine held his reception to the
pan-American congress in these apartments
and the pan-American dinner was also
given in them. Secretary Gresham gave all
his diplomatic breakfasts and dinners in
the apartments.
At the Chinese Ministry.
Owing to the brevity of the viceroy's
stay in Washing the Chinese minister will
not give him a public reception. but will
entertain him privately at the Chinese le-
cation.

The second Of the trips of the steamer
Samuel ]. Pentz to Chapel Point will be
made tomorrow. The steamer will leave
the River View wharf, foot of 7th street, at
9:45 am. and Alexandria at 1915 am, and

especially pleasant for family parties, and
are largely patronized by fathers and
mothers who take their children with them

Ii Hung Chang Will Occupy Apart
ments at the Arlington.
PERFECT PRIVACY FOR THECELESTIAIS
An Entire Floor Will Be Devoted
to Their Entertainment.
PROBABLE STATE RECEPTION

Ii Hung Chang will leave Philadelphia
at o'clock Thursday afternoon by a spe-
cial train over the Pennsylvania railroad,
and will arrive in Washington three hours
later. He will be driven at once to the Ar
lington Hotel, where. together with his
suite. he will be domiciled during his stay
In Washington. The arrangements for his
entertainment at the Arlington are now
being made by Manager Frank v. Bennett,
and probably in all his travels the Chinese
viceroy will not have enjoyed as much pri-
vacy and at the same time as much free
dom In a public hotel than that which he
will experience in Washington.
The construction of the Arlington permits
of LII Hung Chang and his suite having an
entire floor to themselves completely as
though they We're in a private house The
apartments to be occupied by them will be
sixteen in number. and occupy the second
floor from the center of the hotel on Yer
mont avenue to the end Of the building
around on l street.
