THE ROCK ON WHICH LEE QUONG SPLIT.
TRYING TO MAKE HIS RESTAURANT TOO CosMo-
PoLlTAN-THE WRECK NOT To BE SOUGHT YET
Nothing has been heard OF Lee Quong the ex-
Crgsqs Of Ward OF of the the
Chinese settlement. On Saturday night when. like
an Arab he folded his tent and silently stole away,
he forgot to leave his future address HIS brethren
and intimate acquaintauces still have an abiding
faith i'm Lee Quong. Once before when he was the
victim of ill-luck at Fan Ian he skipped out" At
back and paid his debts. hat Lee Quong would
do ANYTHING wrong OF defraud any one, his friends
will not admit. They think he Will come back
again and strengthen matters out. 1radesmen who
were the victims OF his soft aud persuasive ways
have the same hope. On Tuesday theyw were wroth
They were going to upset the safe Of me res.au a
rant bv Lee QuOng, and were golng TO DO other
things that would have made him wish that he had
never left China. ON Wednesday. however, the
tradesmen thought it best to take time to CONSIDER
the matter and yesterday they came TO the conclu-
sion that ii best not to throw good money aier
bad. and lawyers were hired Inc
consequence is that Lee Quong Is safe so
clusOn he may have sought. =,
He was supposed to be worth $4,000. lnvesti-
CATION into his affairs fails TO justify this estimate

Spanish trade well as the Chinese he kept three
cooks, tSo of them negroes, from CuDa, VINO taised
Spanish fuently aud also cooked macaron i'll true
Neopotan style. The other cook was Chlnauian,
who dlshed up Sin an, a Chinese stew, III thc
highest mode of Celestial culinary art. The coslno-
politau nature of the restaurant was success only
to a limited extent. and his failure To popuarze ~
among all the nations of the world. as represented
split Ii is bciIeved that Lee Quong has gone 10
Canada, for he always had desire 10 move among
the highest of the set that he cultivated, and the
amount of money that he swlndlcd his friends out
of was not sufficient 10 pace him In the front rank
of American fugitives on the other side of the st.
