Uncertainty as 10 Where He
Will Stay.

His Disposal, and He May Conclude
to Spend His Time There-PrO-
vision VIII He Made for His Com
forte Guarding Yellow Jacket.

Ii Hung Chang; the Chinese premier and
representative Of the Emperor CT China
at the coronation or the czar, is expected
TO arrive In Washington this week. Where
lie Will lodge does not seem to have been
determined with certainty as yet, though
II Will lie at one of two places.
One OF these isA the Arlington Hotel, the
other the Chinese legation. In any case
the big castle of Maryland red sandstone,
AT the corner OF Roanoke and Fourteenth
streets, out on the brow of the hill goin,,
la Mount Pleasa 1T, will he place Of sa,ecial
iDterestio everybody in Washington during
the days OF his istay here. He will uu-
doubleday spend Part of his time there
and certifin apartments will lie specially
fitted up for his accommodation. II is Eot
Improbable that he may sleep there.
The black dragon, on its iield Of yellow,
VIII, OF course, fly more trilmphantly than
ever over the handsome Pile OF me1iaeval
architecture, which. theoretically, is ON
Chinese soil. Inside the place will he gay
with ribbons, flowers, Chinese screens
lanterns and other characteristic decnr;t-
huils, with the insignia addcG hat bctoEeIs
the rank OF the imperial yissor.
lf Earl Lii should choose To sbe.p ;LC-e-
ana, OF course. it is IL matter OF his personal
preference, and only to De determined after
us arrival here he will probably occupy u
suite OF rooms on the second floor, south
front, in the building known as No. 2701
That is the part OF the legation used by the
minister, Mr.. Yang Yu, and his family.
WHERE WILL HE SLEEP?
1t is the most desirable portion for sleep
ing apartments. A large balcony adioins
the rooms and looks out across the fine
residences that adorn the hill 10 the noble
oaks upon the grounds of Mr.. BARRIERS
princely home, and along the base OF the
hill near Mrs. Logan's. In these rooms
will he gathered all the silks, embro;derics
and other objects OF Chinese elegance that
the legation can boast OF.
fari Ii. with tine cares of state wcigh:r-
upon the nty-four years OF his age will
be guaranteed here every opportunity or
rest that is known TO Cmpese skill and in
genuity.
ii lie should 20 10 the Arlington. he viii! |
probably occupy the rooms used by tiI.
President lust before his inaugural ion. |
These VIII be prepared for him under th;. |
direction of attaches OF the legation anl |
an effort VIII be made to give the emin"nt !
guest such comfort lie has been accus- |
toned to at home. |
The earl is known to be very partial to |
Chinese ways and appointments even to
the extent OF eating almost exclusively /
ChIbcse dishes 1t is probable he Will |
want Chinese chair TO sit in a Chinese |
table To write on, and a Chinese couch TO
sleep on He Will prefer Chinese screens
and curtains 10 shut out the light when it
is too strong, and the soft light OF Chinese
lanterns to Shut out the dark.
All these. OF course can be procured But
and the peacock feather? There is prob
lem for Mr.. RoessIc and his clerks tohandle
Tit earl has these emblems of power with
him and viii probably wear them on Ger
tain occasions.
GUARDING THEYELLow JACKET
With what care. must they be guarded.
lie has already lOst them three times by
ne command of ans royal master Sup
pose he should lose them a fourth time by
he negligence of an American hotel clerk
'r by sCme other accident? He night never
Jet them back again.
1t has been suggested that they should ba
put In care OF one of, the trust companies as
'oon as he arrives and only brought out
when he needs them. Butths was re e1ecte:l
as Involving too much handling. 1t is not
o lie supposed that either one is To be put
II prpfane hands except in a caseof urgent
ieccssity. They must lie carried with the
most delicate touch; for if ore barb OF th.,
Gather should lie broken or one thread If |
he SILK tarnished it would lie a public |

titue the most important part of the
