GOOD TIME AWAITS HIM.
Preparations Being Made to Re-
ceive Ii Hung Chang.
Committee of New York Citizens Arrange
to Entertain Magniflcently the Chi
nese Ambassador Upon His
Visit to America.

Present indications are that when Il
Hung Chang arrives in this country a
few weeks hence the ambassador Will
be entertained magnifcently, not alone
by the national and state authorities.
but by committee of distinguished
citizens, who, because of their past resi-
dence in the orient or because of their
estimate of the Chinese statesman, are
DESTROYS of paying him the profoundcst
respect.
The importance Of this purely civic
compliment will be fully appreciated by
Ii Hung Chang, because he is acquaint-
ed with every member of the committee
as it is thus far composed.
The committee consists of John E.
Ward, minister to China in 1s5S-50;
Mr.. Seward, who was minister from
1875 until 1880; John Russell Young,
who was minister from 1882 to 1886;
John L. Cadwaller, who was assistant
secretary of state with Mr.. Fish, and
who visited China thereafter, receiving
personal attentions from the viceroy;
Edward l.. Burlingame, son of Hon.
Arson Burlingame, who was minister to
China from 1860 to 1867, and thereafter
the minister of China to various western
powers. Col. Fred d. Grant, who was in
China with his father, will be asked to
take part in the work of this committee,
and several other members of the old
mercantile community in China, if, up
on inquiry of the viceroy, it is found
that he can remain long enough in New
York to take part in dinner to be given
in his honor.
The probabilities are that the viceroy
will remain in that city but one or two
days. His official character as the am
bassador. of China would necessitate his
almost immediate departure for Wash
ington when he lands. That he will OBJ
serve this principle of diplomatic cour'
tesy there can be little doubt, for the
Chinese official is most punctilious
After visiting Washington he may re-
visit New York, however. and spend a
little more time in responding to the de,
sires of that part of the population
which will seek to do him honor. On
his way west, it is said, he will make a
stop, in all likelihood, only in Chicago,
He will be entertained in San Francisco
before he departs for home.

Mary Scheihagen begun suit for
debt this morning in the Forty-fifth
District court against the Southern

Plaintiff alleges that she and her hus-
band, Louis Scheihagen have borrow
ed from the defendant corporation
$1,000 and that they have paid various
sums of money of that debt amount
ing to $935.S0. Plaintiff believes that
there are various charges that ought

been informed, has absconded or was
discharged from the service of the

he has yielded to the inducements Of

such purpose. The Metropolitan Ele-
waited Railway company will build
station at the entrance of the tower
park, and it is expected to have the
tower finished by next summer.
The tower will be 200 feet higher
than the famous Eiffel tower in Paris,
and will cost in the neighborhood of
$500, 900. Mr.. Proctor said: "We ex-

landing will be 225 feet above the
ground. This is about on level with
the top of 12-story building. This
landing will be 225 feet square and
should accommodate q, 800 people. The
other six landings will hold almost as
many more. The total capacity Of the
city tower will probably range in the
neighborhood of 10000 people.

SOMETHING NEW IN UMPIREs.

The great state of Arkansas may be
short ON able chairmen for Democrat
ic national committees, but it is long
on men who know how to bring dis
pute in the national game to close
by the shortest and most direct route.
Arkansas has developed a baseball
umpire who stands ready to furnishthe
national league with points which are
calculated not only to bring the game
within reasonable time limits, but to
head off indiscriminate outside criti-
cism and maintain the dignity of the
position of umpire, while obviating
the nuisance Of public wrangling that
disgraces the diamond.
This Arkansas umpire began by CEN
tralizing responsibility. He held the
stakes Of IS, and had his son appoint
ed as scorer. Thus intrenched, he
was prepared for the worst-and it
came. A close decision against the
nine favored by the spectators brought
the latter down upon the umpire with
a rush. Ordinarily this would have
been most embarrassing, but the UNI
pire calmly opened his valise, distrib-
uted several loaded revolvers to his
adherents, and in a jiffy six men lay
stretched upon the greensward in re-
Spouse to six distinct pistol shots.
1t is true that the sheriff subse-
quently took a hand in the proceed
ings; but the fact remains that the
umpire's decision was not overruled,
that a war of words was avoided,
and that the So stake went to the UNI
pire's side, because he disappeared
with it, The national league needs
men of this sort to grapple with emer-
gencies.-N. Y. Mail and Express.

NEUTRALITY-SUSPICIOUS. SYSTEM
Exhibition of Plan Which Seems Feasible
Given at Rookery.

Given at Rookery.
A private exhibition of an entirely
new electric conduit system was given
the other day at the Rookery, at Chi
cago, at which large number of steam
and street railway officials were pres
ent. Several new features were shown,
whereby this system is said to be more
durable, cheaper and cleaner than
steam, overhead trolley, third rail or
any other appliance now in use. while
the cost of construction is only one
quarter as much as any other under
ground system.
The exhibition was made on a track
20 feet long, whose surface was an ex-
act representation of street paving. In
the center of the track is slot SINH
lar to the regulation cable slot, only the
opening is smaller. The wires, both de-
livery, return and feed, are carried be-
meath and inside the rail, anu pro-
tected from moisture and water by six
inches of solid insulation. The current
is delivered to the motor by new chem
ical device called switch boxes. These
boxes are of solid castings with holes
bored through the center, wherein
works plunger with wheel attached
to the end, which extends into the slot
conduit.
Every motor car carries contact
shoe, and there is no way by which the
contact can be broken. One feature of
the invention is that there is no loss of
electricity, as in the third rail system.
The system could be easily applied to
steam roads, and railroad men are much
interested in the exhibition.
BICYCLE BAGGAGE CARS.
The Pennsylvania Company Secures .
Device to Hold Wheels.
E. B. Taylor, superintendent of trans
portation of the Pennsylvania lines,
said the other day that he had pre-
pared plans for an arrangement where
by bicycles can be easily carried in cars
without mountaineering the baggage
man or in any way exposing the wheels
to injury from other baggage falling
on them. A number of clamps are ar
ranged at the top of the baggage car,
80 that the wheels can be hung up so
as not to interfere in any way with
other baggage. These clamps are made
specially Tor this purpose and win prove
great aid to the already much-worked
agent. Three cars will be fitted up at
once by the Fort Wayne company and
will be tried on some of their popular
trains. II the trial proves success
all the baggage cars on the line will
be provided in the same manner. Mr..
Taylor has spent much time in trying
to solve the problem OF bicycle trans
portation, and now thinks that he has
found the right method. At the rate
the shipment of wheels as baggage is
increasing, the railroads will soon be
compelled to put on extra baggage cars.
1t is thought by some that a return
to charging for transportation will soon
be made on this account.
