Richest Chinaman in the U. s.

l sat on the piazzo at FL Paso, Texas,
and saw approaching repalsiye-looking
Chinaman, whose face was disfgHred by
a long CHASTITY scar. 1t was Sam Hing,
the richest Chinaman in America. who
is said to have salted down four delicious
millions.
"Washee?" you ask. Not muchce
washee!" Sam has too "soft thing"
Rumor has it that all the Cinnamon
employed in constructing the Mexican
and Texas railroads get their employs
ment through Sam Hing, and that each.
Chinaman (about 10000 pays him 81 pes
month, besides a bonus for the job Of
work obtained through sam. Sam, in
fact, controls the labor market, and Chi
namen who ego it alone" have an odd
way of disappearing-to China, perhaps.
The men who Sam provides with EN-
ployment must also purchase all their
clothes and provisions of him, and SO
"by a simple mathematical process" YOU
will conclude that Sam has bonanza.
Why don't tell You about the scar that
disfgures the face? l viii. Common
fame and Chinese history say that Sam
Hing was once upon time hanged in
the Celestial Empire for a crime un-
known.
After Chinaman has played Aioham-
med's coffin for a given legal length of
time his body is given over t, his friends,
who are at liberty to resucitate it il they
can. in which event the resuscitate must,
like the late Carey. and others, pack up

THE sTAR-RoUrE TRIAL.

His Plea for Brady.

MIR. Wilson, After Six Days Labor, Concludes
His Plea for Brady.
WASHINGTON, May 16-Mr. Wilson began
the sixth day of his address to the jury in
the star-route trial this morning. Referring
to Turner, he charged that the prosecution
had stained his name and caused his dis
charge from his office when they knew there
was no case against him.
Mr.. Bliss Indignantly denied the charge.
saying Turner had been discharged from an
indictment by the government counsel.
Mr.. Davidge reminded counsel that Turner
had been acquitted by the jury.
The court said Turner was not now upon
trial, and should not be referred to-
Mr.. Davidge remarked that the spirit of the
prosecution was upon trial.
MIR. Wilson resumed his argument. He
described Tyner's method of calculating al
lowances Tor expedition, and called attention
to the fact that every detail of equipment of
routes was taken into account, and the Sec
ond Assistant Postmaster-general necessa-
rily accepted as true the contractors state
ment OF his requirements; otherwise, the de-
partment would have been forced to employ
horde OF men to travel over the country
ana investigate every affidavit. Mr. Brady
placed check upon contractors by re-
luSlnS 10 allow more than $50
per mile for good service. 1t
was the duty of the corresponding clerks to
make brief of the affidavits upon the jacket
inclosing the papers Was Brady to assume
that the clerks falsifed these papers? How
could he know the affidavits had been alter
ed? Somebody had to be trusted
Mr.. Wilson concluded his long argument
by warning the jury to give no heed to vitu-
peration and fish-wife talk when Mr.. Mer-
rick come TO close the case He did not
mean 70 call Mr.. Merrick a fsh-wife, but
wanted the jury to remember that the shout
OF ''conspirator" did not prove crime.

THE DODGE CITY TROUBLE.
Indications. that the City Officials VIII AL
low Short to Return,

DoDeE CITY, Kas., May 16.-The city is
quiet but fermenting. Sheriff George T.
Hinkle, by order of Governor Click, met the
IL o'clock train with fifty armed men
to protect Luke Short and his companion,
understood to be the famous Bat Masterson,
formerly sheriff of this county, but now out
lawed by the city officials. There is mo
doubt but Short will return. He and his
partner, Mr., Harris, have large cat
tie interest and a large saloon, employ
ing twenty-eight men. Harris is vice
president of the Dodge City Bank.
There is long feeling that Short should
be allowed to return. The marshal of the
city, Jack Bridges, famous as fighter and
1alr man. says he is as much the marshal for
one party as the other. The indications
show that the city authorities will
weaken, and that the law will prevail. The
Governor telegraphs that the law of the State
must be enforced, and the rights of life and
property protected. The company of militia

side talk of making a fight, the sheriff is

Working of the Arrears Act.

LONDON, May 16.-According to recent
report made in Parliament by the Irish Sec
rotary, Trevelyan. 10000 tenants took ad-
vantage of the Irish arrears act, which was
framed by Parnell and Healy, and passed
through the British Parliament by the Glad
stone party. Those 1876. 900 tenants were given
by the state as gift in order TO enable them
10 settle with their landlords and thus to be-
gin anew and without being loaded down
with arrears, 81, O50000. 1t was estimated
that the arrears which this aid enabled them
to wipe out amounted TO $12, 900, The
number of applications rejected by the in
vestigators appointed under the act was less
than 1000. Through this measure the only
promise made to Parnell by the Klmainham

Washington Special.
A statement was published to-day repre-

Department has lately been revived The
abuse complained of is that of issuing post
Office passes to persons who are not officers
of the postal service, enabling them to ride
free on railroads. At one time this abuse be-
came SO fragrant that some OF the railroads
refused to recognize such passes at all. The
publication referred to was brought to the
attention. of the Postmaster-general by cor
respondent, and General Gresham said "If
any such thing has been done since l came
into office, it has been without my
knowledge. Some little time ago

cause he was not an officer of the postal serv-

piled that it would cost the railroads some
thing, and that l certainly would not be

GENERAL AND PERSONAL.


Anticipating Heavy Exports of Whisky from
Newport News.
WASHINGTON, May 18,-rhe acting Secre-
tary of the Treasury had consultation to-
day with Mr.. Clay, collector of customs at
Newport News, Va, in regard to the exporta-
ton of bonded whisky from that port to
Bermuda. The collector said this business
was increasing to such an extent that addi-
tional help was absolutely necessary. Five
thousand barrels of whisky were now at that
port awaiting shipment, and he is informed
that certain exporters for whom a New York
firm is acting as agent expect
to ship to Bermuda at the rate of
from 5000 to 10000 barrels month
The first shipment will probably be made in
a week or two. The vessel which has been
engaged for the trade is expected to reach
Newport News in a few days. Under the re-
gulations of the department, the whisky will
be gagged either alongside or on board the
vessel in which it is to be shipped Clay said
his present force could only gauge about
sixty or seventy barrels day, and could not
begin work until the exporting vessel ar
rived. The acting Secretary Informed him
that force of gaugers from Richmond
would be sent to his assistance. The subject
will be laid before Secretary Folger to-mor-
row.

THE CORONATION.
Extraordinary Military and Police Precau-
tions at Moscow.

Gable Special to Chicago tribune.
Such extreme military and police precau-
tions were never seen or dreamed of as those
already taken, more than fortnight before
the coronation. The vast number of police
agents poured into the city is sufficient to
noticeably increase the population, large as
the city is and they swarm among the most
diverse classes of people, among the laboring
men. in every rank of society, in every pro
fession, in every trade, in every department
of the the civil service, police officials them
selves being also spied upon. No less than 400
special police have been enrolled in the
classes of hack and cab drivers. The svs-
tenn of close inspection adopted never
existed in a captured city under seige
The cellars and roofs OF all the houses
along the entire line of the procession's
march are diligently searched in detail every
morning and every evening. A careful ex-
animation of all the occupants of the houses
on the line has been made no less than three
times. No visitor is admitted 20 any hotel or
clearinghouse on any prelense, and no
evening visitor at such places can remain
after l o'clock. These and other equally
stringent and annoying rules are arbitrarily
enforced. Several hundreds of persons who
are mistrusted by the police have been noti-
fed to quit St. Petersburg and Moscow and
not 10 return untll aller the coronation cere-
monies. A great many families of reputable
position have also left Moscow, fearing some
untoward event would happen during the
festivities, and not knowing on whom the po-
lice would endeavor to fasten the guilt.
An atmosphere Of fear and suspicion
covers the city, but the people can scarcely
define their fears. and many persons believe
that the ceremonial. instead of being accom-
panied by disaster, may be the beginning of
an era of better feeling and lessened agita-
ton. Spacious stands and galleries have
been erected along the route, but it is almost
impossible to secure cards of admission. and
they can be had only on the strongest en-
dorsement and the production of the best
credentials. Windows and rooms of the
principal buildings passed by the procession
will be occupied only by guard officers,
officials of tried integrity, and secret police
agents. The way of the procession will be
hedged on both sides with double rows of
armed guards and no spectator will at any
time be allowed to change his place Tor any
purpose. The depots are garrisoned with
military and police, and when the royal
party advances it will be surrounded by a
wall of moving cavalrymen and mounted
officers.
