Round Boats on the Nile.

Soon after leaving Sarras we under
stood why round built boats are PREFER
ed to long ones, writes correspondent of
the London Times. A swirling eddy drift
ed us against rock with velocity enough
to have smashed an ordinary civilized
vessel, but ours merely bobbed round
to the blow, with no further damage
done than to upset, heels up in the air,
the half-dozen Egyptian soldiers who
are our fellow-passengers. There are
no awnings overhead, SO we have to sit
in the sun, and for our beds at night
have the bags of biscuit which form our
cargo. The Nile in these parts, silent
and easy flowing as it seems from the
banks, is an uncanny-looking stream
enough to be embarked upon. What
looked like mere ripples from the shore
are discovered to be veritable whirl-
pools; and then there are black ugly
rocks that peep up from the water, and
past which the current swishes viciously
Should the wind suddenly fail we
might drift on these dangers too rapid
ly even for this stout-built craft to re-
sist. SO altogether, and notwithstand-
ing Col. Alleyne's confident predictions.
we are glad co essay our first trip up the
rapids in vessels that, however crudely
they may be built, are still the
outcome OF centuries of experience, and
prefer to have for our steersman a boat
man accustomed to the ways of his ma
tive river to the most skilled voyageur
that Canada can produce. Our captain
and crew, they tell me, have been
wrecked on several occasions, but then
they are as much at home in the Nile
as are the crocodiles. If one of the En-
glish boats comes to grief, her passengers
will have slender chance, fear, of reach
ing the shore. The other day three
blue jackets who were upset in the river
disappeared almost Immediately, and
two OF them were strong swimmers. So
we must hope that when the expedition
really gets afoat the utmost care in
navigation will be exercised.

A POliceman's Trials.
from the Philadelphia Press

From the Philadelphia Press.
A frightened looking woman, with a
blue and crimson dress and a curly
bang, stood on the corner of Eighth
and SAMSON Streets at the hour of the
heaviest homeWard travel last night
and. gazing anxiously across the street,
tried vainly to whistle. It was no use.
She couldn't get up the requisite puck
er. She turned despairingly to Officer
Stockwell, of the nineteenth district,
who had been entertaining some doubts
as to her sanity, and said:
wont you please whistle for my
dog? He's across the street there and
won't come to me"
The policeman directed note as
persuasive as that of Orpheus at the
truant pug, and the latter trotted gaily
across the street, endeavoring to wag
his apology for tail. His over-joyed
mistress clasped him rapturously In her
arms and boarded SAMSON Street car.
81 wonder what use I'll be up to
next?" said the officer as the car rolled
away. Some people think that a
policeman is a general convenience, to
be used for any purpose. Within the
last week I've been asked by one woman
to call cab. She took me for mes
senger boy. I've been asked to unbut-
ton my coat and give the time of day
to eighteen different people. They
thought I was the Independence Hall
clock. Two men asked me for a match.
They supposed was bartender. An
other fellow asked me one night if he
could sit on the curbstore to wait for a
car. He believed I owned the street.
Then there was chap who came along
full the other morning and asked me to
take him home to Twentieth and Wallace
Streets. He thought I was chump, [
guess. But this dog-calling business
beats the deck so far. I wonder what's
coming next"

Chinese Cunning.


From the San Francisco Bulletin.]
The steamer Arabic brings $50
Chinese passengers from Hong Kong.
Ut III in transit, n are for Victoria, Al
TOR Honolulu, and 3 for Panama. Those
ticketed direct for San Francisco num-
bered 159. Twenty-six have not the
cert1hcates required by law. Sixteen
have Chinese consular certificates. Ten
have no certificates of any description.
They were accepted as passengers on
the guarantee that their return passage
money would be paid if they were not
landed. Of those in transit to Victoria,
1t is safe to assume that certain per-
centage will attempt to land here on the
claim of prior residence through the
federal court. Those who have Chinese
consular certificates issued by Col. Bee
Will probably be allowed to come ashore
on bail, while their cases are continued.
until decision comes from Washing
ton.
Information has been received here
concerning operations of the Chinese
at the North which serves to illustrate
in a new way the ingenuity expended
in attempting to enter the country.

or some of them, go from Victoria to
Westminster, on the Frazer River.
They cross the river at this point and
are in the United States. A walk
through the woods brings them to What
com. Here they take a boat for Port
Townsend. They are in the territory
of the United States, but their baggage
is in Victoria. How shall they get it2
They go boldly to the customs authori-
ties at Port Townsend and get certif-
cate which enables them to go to Vic
toria and return. They secure their bag
gage in Victoria and can come back to
San Francisco with it after few weeks
on any coast vessel without molestation.
There are customs officials at the north
end of this trail from Westminster, but
the officials are few. Collector Sears
thinks that few Chinese take this round
about way on account of the trouble and
expense. While the City of Picking
was here about score of her Chinese
passengers, who were unable to land,
elected to go to Victoria. The north is
the back-door route to San Francisco.

up terrible thinking all the way from
Washington to shutdown, and when he
took charge of heagency his plans were
all cut and dried. He organized the
Big Sioux Greek Navigation Company,
