THE NEW TIME TABLE.

A little examination of the new time
table Of the New York, New Haven and
Hartford Railroad, which goes into opera
tion beginning Sunday next, shows
IL to be remarkable stroke for com
pleting and putting into acceptable
shape the schedules of the different
branches, adjusting each to each In a way
that has not been before quito possible
and greatly facilitating the public con-
venienoe. The changes arc chiefly, II not
wholly, on the Worcester and Stonington
branches Of the system, and they serve to
connect up these with the Old Colony ar
rangenent made about one year ago with
so much satisfaction. Not only does the
arrangement furnish big instalment of
new trains, but IL serves TO connect these
together SO that all parts of the system,
one upon the other, are brought into line,
affording through service from any one
point on either branch 10 any other point
on another branch. Such plan was
bound TO be the ultimate fruit OF the con-
solidation OF the different roads that are
now simply branches of one system
and will surely be appreciated by tho
thousands of travellers on the limo who
have landed In Providence on their way
through only to be Informed that the
train for their further destination had
just left the depot Although of
course. improvements in service will
continue to be suggested from time to
time, the bringing of the Worcester and
Stonington divisions into line by schedule
with the Old Colony system. as is now
done, could hardly be improved on So far
as the present outlook goes. No other
step that has been taken under the Con.
solidated interests has been so marked n
public advantage as this. Especially will
the summer resort passengers be accom-
modated, albeit a. the outset there may
be some fretting because time honored
and familiar short distance schedules
have necessarily been rearranged TO bring
them into harmony with the plan de-
signed for the whole. But the extra trains
available to the summer population out
of town, on both week days and Sundays.

Conspicuous in the throng on the pier Of the
French line yesterday morning were the brightly
robed retiring Chinese Minister to Washington,
Yang iu, and his suite. The Chinese Consul at
this port and several OF his distinguished fellow
countrymen were on hand to give Yang Yu an
Oriental send-of. They attracted the gaze Of
even the politest Occidentals by the fervent for
mality of their leave-taking. Those who were
going lined up opposite those who were not, and
each carefully noting the action Of Yang Yu,
shook his own hand and bowed.
As he time drew near for tho sailing of the
ship the handshakers seemed to he hardly able
to break away from themselves. Tears appeared
in the eyes OF Yang Yu. The members Of his
suite, observing this, permitted the tears to
