JOHN CHINAMAN IN GOTHAM
A Specimen of America Chinese Lit
erary Work

or airy Work.
NEW YORK, June 9.--All Mott street is
agog over the new paper shortly to be
issued by Wong Chin Foo. 1t is to be a
four-page weekly and will be- Illustrated by
Chinese artist Wong Chin Foo is a clever
young Chinaman, a regular contributor to
most of the New York dailIes, a successful
magazine writer and lecturer Sone three
or tour years ago he ran paper in the in
terest of his people called the Chinese
American. During its short life he enjoyed
a luiid career as responsible editor
which would fill the soul of the typical Dor
der editor with envy. He instituted a cru
SADIE against the Chinese gambling dens and
opium joints, called hi, enemies scorpions,
hyenas and other choice celestial epithets,
and rs q consequence was shot Mt, stabbed,
assaulted and arrested for libel But he
fought it out like little man and when his
paper followed the example of a good may
other very estimable publications and died,
he kept up the fight through the columns of
the other papers.
The failure of tho Chinese american was
largely due TO the fact that Wong attempted
Il quixotic crusade against the Chinaman's
pet vices--gambling and opium smoking
1t did not please the rank and file Of the.
Chinese residents Of this district, and as 1t
American mind are naturally associated
with flrecrackers and tea. il did not COM

readers.

to setting forth the superiority Of Chinese
civilization over the American. IL will

contests with our smuggling matches. 1t will

with him Hon Zuing, a capable journalist
lately arrived from San Francisco, and a
clever Chinese artist, who labors under the
somewhat consumptive name of Wun
Lung. He proposes TO publish cartoon in
each issue, and the paper will have somo-
what satiI1cal and humorous tons.
Owing to the fact that there are upwards
of 400 characters in active use in Chinese
printing, Il font Of type for tho projected
paper would cost small fortune, SO Wong
has decided to have IL photo autographed
from his own "copy." Since the untimely
death Of The Chinese American the resi-
dents of Mott street have depended
mainly upon Lu Chung, for the
burden of current news, and 1t is
not remarkable that tho now enter

Wong has the backing Of a syndicate of
Chinese capitalists and has already secured
a large number OF advertisements There
are upwards Of 10000 Cinnamon in New
York and vicinity. Wong Chin Foo is a
clever writer aud hard worker, and there

CROP CONDITIONS.
Report Of the National Department of
Agriculture.


WASHINGTON, June 9.-The crop report
of the department of agriculture says:
There is slight local change of the condi
ton of winter wheat, some Improvement in
New York and Pennsylvania and marked
decline In Missouri, and minor changes OF
the status elsewhere, making the average
1873, against 73 l in May. The loss by the
overflow of the Mississippi river in Illinois
affects in part the improvement in other
counties. In Ohio, Indiana, Michigan and
Kansas the average condition is nearly the
same as in May.
The area OF cotton appears to have in
creased In every state except Florida. The
increment is largest west of the Mississippi
as usual. This preliminary survey of the
acreage makes net increase of 3 per cent,
and brings the aggregate breath close to
100000 acres. The state averages are as
follows: Virginia l05, North Carolina 1908
South Carolina 1918, Georgia l01, Florida
80, Alabama l01.5, Missouri 1917, louisiana
10y, Texas 105, Arkansas 102, and Tennessee
In the Atlantic cotton belt with
low night temperature, and in some dis
tricts Of Texas complaint Of too much rain
is made. On the eastern gulf coast the
temperature has been nearly normal part
OF the time. West Of the Mississi pi cool
and moist weather has retarded the growth
of the crop. The averages of condition are:
Virginia 81, North Carolina SO, South Car
DINA IS, Georgia 80, Florida "a, Alabama
81, Mississippi 80, Louisiana SO, Texas 80,
Arkansas "a, and Tennessee 90. The gen
eral average is $50.
REDUCTION IN SEEDING.
There was some reduction in seeding the
winter wheat area in some states, though
the average breadth of all was but slightly
reduced. In the east and south there was no
material loss of area from freezing, but in
several western states it was considerable.
1t is apparent that the reduction
of the breadth of winter wheat
as compared with that of last year is about
1,750,000 acres. The percentage of re-
duction for the entire winter wheat region
is placed lat ~ per cent. 1t is
Is in Illinois, IA in Ohio. 10 in
Michigan and in Indiana. This is in
comparison with the reduced area har-
vested last year. There has been an in
crease of area of spring wheat in Dakota
and in the territories farther west, but
decrease in Iowa, Wisconsin and Minnesota,
making an average decrease for the spring
wheat region of per cent. The area in
wheat is apparently slightly below 36,000,
900 acres.

TALK ABOUT THE TARIFF.
The Debate Not Confined to Any One
Clause of the Bill.

OIduS0 OF the BILL
WASHINGTON, June 9.-The house to-day
went into committee of the whole on the
tariff question, the pending lines relating to
fax.
MIR. Buchanan OF New Jersey threatened
that the laborers of this country would be
heard from in no uncertain tone IL the bill
became law.
Mr.. Mills defended the bill and deprecated
the efforts made by the other side to distort
every attempt at revision into an abuse Of
the poor.
Mr.. Lind of Minnesota, a republican who
has heretofore supported the bill. made a
| strong plea for the protection of the linseed
oil industry which would be, he said, inju-
| rlously affected by the removal Of the ex-
lstlng duty on linseed He told the Mis-
| souri, democrats that the success of their
lead works depended in great measure ON
the success of The fax industry.
The motion to strike out the clause plac-
ing flax straw on the free list was defeated
by a vote of SO to IA.
TOOK WIDE RANGE.
The debate went on at length, occasion
ally touching upon fax but taking in
lumber, salt, glass and the general princi-
pies of the bill.
FREE TRADE IN LABOR
Mr.. Hemphill of South Carolina, referring
| to his recent speech during the general de-
bate, said that his remarks as to free trade
In labor had been misconstrued. II he de-
sired to hire men to perform work for him
ne would hire them as cheaply as he could
IL ne wanted to make money. But when it
came to the introduction of Coolie,
Italian and Hungarian labor there
| were other things to be
| considered besides the question of cheap
| labor. 1t would be very unwise to advocate
the introduction of any set of people who
| had not and would not have proper appre-
! citation of the institutions under which we
lived, or who would not be likely to
asslmllate with the people, But as to all
| others who chose to come in and become
good citizens, he could see no objection to
them II they simply chose to work more
cheaply than some one else
OREGON THEIR PoULTICE.
Mr.. Hopkins, of Illinois, asked if the
gentleman (Mr. HemphilD had been forced
into reputation of his former statements
by the result of the election in Oregon.
There was no Disgusting the fact that the
Mills bill leaned toward free trade, and the
gentleman's whole argument had led up to
that
Mr.. Hemphill replied that he had had no
proper opportunity before to reply to Mr.
Hopkins criticisms. Moreover, he did not
pretend to be a leader and did not yet be-
lieve that his utterances had the weight
attributed to them. To Mr. Hermann he
said that he did not favor Chinese immigra-
ton.
Trusts also came in for good share of
the attention from Messrs Rayner, Cannon,
Kelley, Reed, Dockery and Butterworth
Pending debate, the committee rose and
the house, at 4:45 o'clock. adjourned.

good many farmers in town to-day, and

interesting facts about the crops. They

chopped out. The plants arc heavily
loaded with squares and are just beginning

A good stand of corn resulted from the
