not yield a sufficient revenue to pay the

The Chinese journalist, says con-
temporary, is philosopher. His life
is reasonably happy one. He is free
from care and thought, and allows all
the work OF the establishment to be
done by the pressman. The Chinese
composition has not yet arrived. The
Chinese editor, like the rest of his
countrymen, is initiative; he does not
depend upon his brains for editorials,
but translates them from all the con-
tempOraneOus papers he can get.
There is no humorous department in
a Chiuese newspaper. The newspa-
per office has no exchanges scattered
'over the floor, and in nearly all other
things it differs from the European
ses ia blishment. The editorial room is
connected by a ladder with hunks in
a loft above where the managing edi-
tor sleeps, and next to it Is, invaria-
bly,, a room fitted up with an opium
bunk and layout. Evidences of do
nestle life are about the place, pots,

The Exiled Duke

PARIS, February S.-The Duke OF
in this city for violating the decree of
exile issued against the members CT
his family, occupies comfortable
apartments in the COncergerie prison.
The Duchess de Charities, and Prin-
cess Marguerite, his aunt and cousin
respectively, and other friends Will be
permitted 10 visit him. NJ Con Stans,
minister of the interior, has given
orders that he be treated with
distinction. The mOnarchist members
OF the chamber of deputies have de-
cided to interpolate the government
as to its reason for imprisoning the
duke. The Republique Francalse in
commenting on the arrest of the duke,
points out that the expulsion law i'm
poses a penalty of from two to five
years imprisonment upon the head or
direct heir of any family that has
reigned in France, who violates its
provisions. The Paix and Jour
nal DIES Debats, think that
the last policy of the government
is to have the duke again conducted
to the frontier. At a meeting OF the
cabinet today, it was decided to
strictly enforce the provision of the
expulsion law against the young
duke.
The duke was taken before the tri-
bunal of the Seine today, where he
was charged with fragrant violation
of the law, banishing from France
pretenders to the throne. In reply to
the charge he said he came to rance
to perform his military duties.

The question has again been presented to
the Treasury Department as to whether

proof to that effect.
1t is said At the Treasury Department.
That the law does not apply to foreigners
who come to this country voluntarily in

The great difficulty in the present in
