with China by means of great woolly camels,
which they load with coal and furs and drive
down through the passes to Peking. We saw
hundreds of these caravans during our trip to
the wall, and the whole excursion was full of
the sights of the desert, with all the surround
ings of Canadian Winter.
The journey itself is quite an undertaking.
For myself and wife we had two donkeys and
a mule-litter, and our party all told consisted of
four long beasts and three almond-eyed
long pigtailed men in addition TO ourselves
First, there was Nan-shu-king, our English
speaking Chinese guide and cook; then the
Mohammedan mafoo, or groom, and the ragged,
dirty dOnkey-bOy, who ran behind and kept
the donkeys at full speed by poking stick
into their bellies The mule-litter was q little
dog-kennellike box, covered with cloth, and
swung between two great poles, each about so
feet long, and so arranged that they stuck out
in front and behind, forming two pair of shafts,
which were bound to saddles on the top of two

necks, kept up a continuous tinkling as they
walked along The interior of this dog kennel
was filled with blankets, and it had just enough
room for the madame to lie comfortably within

carried our food and bedding, and tle greater
part of the time we consigned the guide to the

The finest graveyard of China is that of the

until few years less than two centuries and a

The Ming tOmbs look like number of great
Chinese palaces, and they are Situated perhaps
a half mile apart. From these great statues
which guard the entrance, there was once a
wide marble road, several miles in length lead
ing across this amphitheater, and it was on the
remains of this that we passed to them On
each side the farmers were working in the
fields, and near the greatest tomb we had to
stop and bargain with one of these for the key
A Mexican dollar satisfied his greed, and we
passed through great gates to the interior of
an inclOsure where were massive pagoda- like
buildings rooted with tiles. These must have
been very fine in their day but the tooth of
time-which has gnawed its way into every
great thing in China-is rapidly masticating
them. The fine teakwoOd pillars are being
chewed into pieces, and the icOnoclastic for
eigner is stealing the tile from the porcelain
yellow roofs. The fact that the tombs are so
hard of access, and that few travellers can
afford the time and expense of trip to this
out-of the-way corner, has kept them together
as they are. AS for US, our guide broke from

and out of the back of each of which rises
great pink marble slab which must weigh sew
eral tons. This is inscribed with the virtues
of the Emperor in Chinese characters. and the
| turtle itselfis the Chinese emblem of longevity
Leaving the Ming t6mbs, we went on to

The age of the Chinese Empire is apparent

CHEZ GREEN MUST PAY CP.
Eugene Angel Gets a $525 Verdict
for False Imprisonm ent.

for False Imprisonm ent.
Eugene Angel got verdict in the United
States court yesterday against Chief Of
Police Green for s525 damages for false i'm
prisonment.
Angel is the man who was arrested here
last spring by Detective Kaufman on tele-
gram from the sheriff Of Tallahassee, Fla,
who described Angel as an escaped muir
derer from Mount Vernon, Mo. The arrest
was made at the Screven house,
and Angel was taken to the police bar
racks and locked up. For several days
he was denied communication with his
friends. After having b9en locked up for
nearly two weeks MS release was obtained
on writ Of habeas corpus. The Missouri
official who came here saw Angel, and said
that be was not the prisoner who broke
Jail at Mt Vernon, although he bore
slight resemblance TO him.
Angel sued Chief Green for
S4,5JO damages. When the case came
up Yesterday an effort was made to secure
its continue ice on occount Of the absence
Of Detective Kaufman. Judge Speer de-
c.ded however, that the evidence of the wit
ness was not material enough to warrant a
postponement. Angel was the principal
witness in the trial. He described his arrest
and gave an account Of his confinement at
the barracks during which be was Kept
closely slut up, and it as several days he
fore he found out what he was arrested
for.
Chief Green said that he had no malice
against Argell. He believed that he did
his duty in OBTAINING him. The testimony
spun out to considerable length. Early in
the afternoon the case was given TO the
jury. After bel ont for a short time it
rendered a verdict for the amount
above stated. Ia his charge Judge Speer
directed the jury to find verdict for
Angel the oily question for the jury to
decl1e was the amouat of damage.
On point which was raised by the law
yers Judge Speer said: "As | conceive the
law, whenever an official arrests man on
letter or telegram from another state
the otil cer is liable for damage if the citi-
zen arrested is Innocent"
