Wing Using All, the San

With His Mind Filled With
Visions Of Oriental
Luxury.

Among the arrivals from the coast yester-
day was Mr.. Wung Using All, of San Fran
cisco. There is very little of the Celestial i'll
the appearance of Wung Using. He wears
no queue has abandoned the blouse and
curly-tOed shoes of his native land, smokes
the best cigars there are going, drinks cham

All has cousin in ST. Paul named Wing
Lee, the prof. rietOr of a laundry on Fifth
street, and upon the arrival of the former the
latter got into his most elegant dudS and The
two worthless took in the town from one end
to the other. A GLOBE reporter IN
terviewed the almond-eyed hero from
the slope as 10 The object OF his
VISIT here, and learned that Wing had come
all the way from The coast in response TO a
request bv his cousin TO ok over the ground
and investigate the ACCESSIBILITY OF starting
Chinese boarding house. In referring 70 the
matter the protector stated tn u III san fran

was seventeen years old. and have specialized
in all sorts of things during the past ten
years with considerable success. am llsIe
disappointed. however, IN the number or my
country who live here-I thought there were
& good many more. The fact is that there Is
a prejudice against the Chinese, more notlc"

slope. No matter how much a local emma

that will surprise the people of this city.
All the hangings will come direct from

have met with announcement from the
Cinnamon Of st. Paul. and shall see the
Minneapolis people before go. The cost OF

Wung Using is said to be one of the wealth
iesI Cinnamon in America, and admits that
he is worth something like 50 10000. He IS
largely interested in cigar manu- cturlng ana
other industries He seems sure OF the
feasibility of his idea. and Determined 70
carry it out. Wung and Lee went TO Mime
apolis last evening TO lay the matter before
the Chinese of that city.
