President Cleveland viii Meet Ii
Hung Chang in New York.
General Ruggles Has Been Ap-
pointed by the President to Make
all Arrangements for the Recep-
ton Of the Distinguished Guest.
Will Not Go TO WashingtOn-The
Boston Trip Also Abandoned.

Washington, D. c., August 10
President Cleveland has officially indi-
Gated that Earl Ii Hung Chang WI be
the guest of the nation during his forth
coming visit to this country, and Gen.
Ruggies, stationed at Governors Isl
and, has been designated to take
charge of the details Of the reception.
The Chinese minister returned from
New York to-day, after seeing General
Ruggles and ex-Secretary John w.
Foster. The Chinese authorities rec
ognizing that Earl Ii is a guest, are
loath to make any suggestions as to
his reception, preierring TO leave all de-
tails with the American officials.
It is understood that Gen. Ruggles
will complete the arrangements by to-
morrow Thus far, it is settled only
ulat the Presidents reception of ii
will occur at New York and not at
Washington. As a result there IS
some doubt whether the Chinese am
bassadCr will Y-s-t Washington ct all,
while the main purpose OF his coming
here was to pay his respects to the
President. The proposed visit OF Ear
Ii TO Boston has been abandoned also,
the present pan being TO extend the
stay in New York because Of the Pres
dents presence there and TO shorten t
elsewhere. Under these circumstances
no arrangements have been made for
quartering the distinguished Chinese
guest at Washington.
The ambassador, with his suite, will
arrive nm New York on Friday, the
2S,h inst, and he viii be received on
the following day at Governors Island
by President Cleveland. There viii be
a naval review and a great showing Of
pomp. On Sunday Ii will visit the
tomb Of Gen Grant, and n the evening
VII dine with John Russell Young,
George +. Seward and other Americans
With whom he became acquainted in
China.
On Monday the 91st inst. the party
viii be taken 10 West Point, where a
military review vii be held. Tuesday
September 1, the Chamber Of Commerce
OF New York, Will give a reception and
dinner in honor of the great man, and
on Wednesday he WI visit the city of
Brooklyn
John Russell Young WI entertain Ii
as his guest in Philadelphia on Thurs
day, September Sd. He will arrive
there IN the morning and spend several
hours in as pleasant a manner as can
be arranged.
1t is lil.e,y that besides his extensive
suite Ii vii, be accompanied to Phila-
Gelphia by the Chinese ambassador
and suite, Gen. Ruger, L. S. a, COM
manding the department of the Allan
tic, with his staff and a number of ma
val officers
On the evening Of Thursday Ii will
leave Philadelphia for Washington,
where he viii spend two days, and from
there he viii go TO Niagara Fails, after
wards travelling by Canadian Pacific
railroad to Vancouver, where he Will
embark for China. II is likely that
President Cleveland may endeavor 10
induce l., TO travel to the Pacific slope
on Cne OF the American trans-contiren-
tai roads and visit Chicago, St. Louis,
