A Washington Territory correspor-
dent of The San Francisco Chronicle
alleges that the smuggling of China
men from British Columbia has attain
ed the proportions Of a regular business
there. He says that they come from
Victoria, and are Struggled across to
Dungeness. Point Discovery, or Point
Wilson. The distance is about thirty
FIVE miles, and they come over night,
in Indian canoes, accompanied by
white guides or pilots. AS wages in
British Columbia are much lower than
on the American side and as it has
been found practically impossible to
watch the coast line, unless a large
force is placed there. this smuggling
bids fair to continue.

1t is but a few years since anything
like systematic bee culture has been
attempted in the United States, but
the business has nov become an inn
portant industry, more than 100000
pounds of honey being yearly produc-
ed and sold. The trade is principally
carried on by large capitalists, who
often have from $500 to 5000 swarms
Of bees. In California the bees are
farmed out, that is apiaries of 100
swarms or so are placed in the ground
Of farmers, generally from three to
four miles apart. The farmers receive
a fixed rent or a share of the honey
for their compensation, as may be
agreed upon. On an average one acre
of ground is estimated to support
twenty-five swarms of bees, and the
yield of a swarm is generally about
fifty pounds of honey a year.

NEW YORK, July lS.-The suit of Nor

Senator Chaifce, who loaned Grant d
Ward bonds and large sums, was before
Referee Cole to-day. Chat'ee testified
he loaned $lC0,000 United States bonds To
tho firm in October, 1888, at their request.
He loaned the firm National bank bonds
and then gave the firm his check for
100000. Later he loaned the firm large
number of West Virginia, Central ii
Pittsburg railroad bonds. lie never had
the bonds returned. He drew about
$50, 900 from the firm previous to the fail
ure, which was part OF the profits he was
to receive for such loans. The firm,
through U. S. Grant, ir., and Ward
told him they had use for more money
than they mad on hand, and they couid
make handsome profits from such loans
