SAN FRANCISCO SCENES.
Chinese Cigar Makers and Poddlor,

OuAueeo CABUF MuAeEB anu FeOOleFbs
A correspondent writing from
San Francisco says;
There are over two hundred cigar
manufactures in this city, giving
employment to rising 1000 men.
These factories turn out 100000
cigars annually and 100000 or
5000, 900 cigarettes. The business
is fast being monopOlized by the
Chinese. The white manufacturers
cannot compete with John China
man, because he can make cigars
cheaper of the same brand of to-
bacco and on account of his sue
cessful evasion of the revenue tax
of $6 per 1000, which affords of
itself a handsome profit. In China
town the streets are undermined,
affording avenues of escape to John
when he is caught defrauding the
government. Besides, he has nu-
merous subterranean places of de-
posit where he hides the illegal
cigars he has made. Old cigar boxes
are bought in vast quantities by
John Ohinaman, who refills them
and neglects to put on the neoes-
sary stamps. Chinese competition
in cigars is such that the industry,
so far as white manufacturers are
concerned, is being broken down.
There are scores Of Mongolian
cigar peddlers to be found on the
streets, who sell the fragrant
Havana at prices that astonish
smokers of the weed, who pay for
the same article at the regular cigar
stalls three and four times as much.
The heather peddler pursues his
business in a clandestine manner,
always on the lookout for police
man when he ia trading with a Gus
toner, as he has no license and is
selling unstamped cigars made out
of smuggled tobacco. He carries
his stock in his oapacious arm
sleeves, but if one is in Ignorance

New York Herald. 2lst.l
Adrianople is situated at the con-
Auence Of the Tundja, the IMaritza
and the Arda, and is about 1876
miles from Oonstantinople. Its
population has been variOnsly esti-
mated at from $4,000 to 10000
inhabitants, According to the most
trustworthy accounts about half of
these are Turks, 10000 Bulgarian
and Greeks and the remainder Jews
and Armenians. Adrianople was
taken by the Turks from the Greek
emperors in 1862. and was made
the capital of the Turkish Empire,
remaining so until Constantinople
was seized in 1853. 1t is at present
virtually an open town. The old
part is surrounded by a wall and
contains a citadel, but these are
now useless as defenses. Recently
more modern works have been con.
Structed by the Turks, but these
are only of field or at most of a
provisional type. In the opinion of
Won Moltke, the hollow roads,
bitches and garden walls without
tie town afford great facilities for
its defense and the approaches may
be covered by troops drawn up so
as to rest upon the rivers, but only
in corps of not less than 10000 or
10000 men. The town is, however,
overlooked by nights on every side,
and, consequently, it would be
hardly possible to hold itagainst an
army provided with modern artil-
lery. The first view of Adrianople
is described by Won Moltke as being
wonderfully beautiful, the white
minarets and the lead-roofed cupolas.
