Ii Hung Chang,

Autograph Albums.
More numerous than the mail pieces
being received at the hotel for the viceroy,
how ever, are the autograph albums. They
are being sent by messengers with notes
pie aiding with the management of the Ar
lngton to secure the autograph of the il

appeals for a similar favor. The albums
already received would, if presented to the
viceroy, require his entire time while here
to decorate them with his signature. as ii
is well known that the distinguished China
man does his autograph with Il paint
brush. The Arlington mana cement, how j
ever has never been known to treat any
one disc1urteously, and it was rumorei
around the hotel this morning that all the
albums would be returned to their owners
with streak of cabalistic Chinese char

AZ street is an dept at autographs and
will be quietly engaged to decorate the
albums in accordance with the desires
of their proud possessorS.
