Ii HUNG CHANGES VISIT
Uncertainty as to Where he viii Be Officially
Received.
He May Go to Gray Gables or the
President May Meet Him on
Governors Island.

Although 1t is settled that President
Cleveland will not return to this city to
receive Ii Hung Chang, the royal Chinese
ambassador, 1t is not SO we'll settled where
the meeting Of the two statesmen actually
will take place. AS already intimated in
The Star, the chances are strongly in favor
Of the selection of the Presidents modest
cottage on the shores Of Buzzard's Bay as
the place Of meeting. but If this should be
found to be impracticable 1t is more than
likely that the military post on Governor s
Island, New York harbor, will be utilized
as a presidential audience chamber for this
occasion only.
The arrival Of the Chinese ambassador
at New York will be made the occasion Of
an imposing military and naval demonstra-
tion, In which all the troops in the vicinity
of New York and all the vessels Of the
North Atlantic squadron, now in Hampton
Roads. will take part
1t is also probable that Assistant Socre-
tary Rockhill of the State Department and
high officers of the army and navy will he
specially delegated to receive Ii Hung
Chang's party in New York harbor The
dispatch boat Dolphin will play an import
ant part in the proceedings. In case Gray

ARMY LOSSES.
Decision as to the Property of Omcers
and Enlisted Men.

The controller of the treasury has given
a decision IT regard to the reimbursement
of losses of private property of officers and
enlisted men of the army under the pro-
visions of the act of March 8, 1855, in which
he holds generally follows:
The act of March 3, 1885, provides for
three classes of circumstances under which
officers and enlisted men of the army are
entitled to reimbursement for the loss of
private property in the military service of
the United States, provided that the Secre-
tsry of War shall have first decided that
the property so lost was reasonable, use
ful, necessary and proper for such officer
or soldier while in quarters. engaged in the
public service in the line of duty:
First Where the claimant can show that
the loss occurred without fault or negli-
gence Oh his part;
Second Where the property lost was ship
ped on board an unseaworthy vessel by or
der OF properly authorized officer, in
which case it is not required to afirma-
lively show that he was not guilty of fault
or negligence; and
Third Where the property was lost
through the action Of the claimant in pre-
ferring TO save the property of the United
States at the same time that his own was
In Jeopardy, which necessarily implies the
neglect of his own property for the sake of
saving the government from loss, if Dossi-
BILE.
In the construction of the terms of ths
aSt 'h question, the controller says 1t is
clear:
First That personal property belonging
TO the ofhcer or enlisted man, but in use bv
the members of his family, is to be ex-
cluded.
Seconu. That all clothing, such as he
would usually wear in the public service
while In quarters and in the line of duty.
he may be Unidentified for if lost: and also
toI an furniture and such articles of house
hold use proper, reasonable and necessary
tor MIN to have in his quarters, such as
the regulations prescribe for him to occupy
as an officer or enlisted man.
Ihird- That clothing not necessary or
proper for him to wear in the line of duty
is excluded. That in the matter both Of
clothing and household effects necessary
ara proper for him to have while I'm everv
case 1t should be considered that a fair
Just. reasonable amount should he allowed
to him for which he could properly be in
aemnined, amount largely In excess of his
needs and requirements should be denied
him. w UeiAeo
1t Is a status of service being In ouarters
and In quarters 1t Is the rule Of the servic,
to wear uniform. ~o

GREAT Race for the Futurfty Stake
This Afternoon.

Ureat hace Tor the Futurity Stakes
This Afternoon.
NEW YORK, August 15.-The heavy
storms which descended upon Sheepshead
Bay yesterday made the track trifie
heavy for today's great race for the ninth
Futurity stakes. and the workmen were out
early with their harrows pulling over the
earth to let it dry as we'll as possible before
the contest for the $4,000, the richest stake
in the world for two-year-olds. The entry
list as given out by the secretary is as fol-

The last trials of the candidates were had
Thursday.
After her victory at Brighton Beach on
Tuesday last, when Rhodesia defeated
Dwyer's Cleophus in q canter in fast time,
she became strong choice among the bet
ting men and bade fair to displace Orna-
ment at the post Of favoritism. She got an
easy gallop, covering the six furlongs in a
trifle better than LII.
The actual favorite is the westerner, Or
nament. winner of both halves of the double
event, and second to Winged Foot in the
Great Trial stakes. Since the New Eng

but he Will not feel the weight Of Garrison S
urging, and, as he is a very sluggish colt, he
may not show his best form. He will be
at disadvantage, owing to the new rule
forbdding the assistant starters to hold

actor.
At o'clock the track had dried out con-
siderably, and dust was flying on the turns
while the only damp spots were along the
rail In the stretch, and on the far side 1t was
improving rapidly with every hour, as the
strong breeze from the sea and the hot sun
were having their effects.
The crowd did not begin to gather until
nearly 2 O'clock, the spectators at this

The Silver Certificates of That De
nomination Issued Today

ABBueO IOOays
The United States treasury today began
the issue of the new series of five-iollar
silver certificates and will continue their
distribution in the regular ways Of busi-
ness until the heavy demand shall have
been fully supplied. Owing to the limited
supply on hand they are being ISSUED in
small amounts only to banks and individ-
uals in exchange for other notes. The dis
bursting officers Of the different depart
ments were each given a package Of about
1000 notes for issue in payment Of sala-
ries. etc. So 1t will not be long before the
new notes will be in general circulation in
this city. As has been already stated in
The Star, the frontispiece of this note is an
allegorical representation of America en-
tightening the world,'' containing partly
draped female figures of America -
Fame" and Peace" with q representa-
ttcn Of Jupiter in his chariot in the act of
hurting thunderbolt Vignettes of Grant
and Sheridan are prominent features of
the design of the back of the note Ac-
cording to one treasury critic the design Of
the fve-dollar certificate is more artistic
and suitable than the designs Of the one
dollar. two-dollar or ten-dollar notes of
the new series.
