RoBBINa THE sHoPKEEPERs.
A Trick That Is Very Often Successful,
Practiced In Paris.


A Trick That Is Very Often Successfully
Practiced In Paris.
New York Herald
The shop front trick is more skilful than
any played off upon the poor shopkeeper
In Paris. A man in the garb of a peasant
may be seen making his way along the
street, carrying with difficulty heavy bag
upon his head. Just opposite the shop of a
linen draper or milliner he staggers beneath
the burden and falls heavily against the shop
window, allowing his bag to crash through
the large plate of glass. The proprietor, of
course, rushes out and energetically demands
that the damage be paid for on the spot,
The rustic, with equal vehemence, protests
that he cannot and will not pay, and an al
tercation ensues, in which the shopman
seems to be getting anything but the best
Of it.
At this juncture there steps out from the
crowd which has collected well-dressed
man who interYenes in the discussion and
asserts that he knows the peasant and is
quite sure that he can afford to pay. The
latter, with many oaths and much re-
luctance, gives in before this evidence, and
at length produces grumblingly from his
pocket Bank of France note for 1000
francs. The shopkeeper, overjoyed at the
sight of it, and nothing loath to settle the
business and get rid of the concourse of peo-
pie, quickly pockets the note, gives the
man his change after deducting the full
value of the glass, and with thanks to the
stranger, withdraws from the scene. But on
going some time afterward to exchange the
bank note for gold, he finds that it is bad
one.

MIR. LEMERY's LAND SHIP.
He Thinks 1t VIII Be a Great Thing for
Exploring African Wilds.


San Francisco Chronicle.j
Plans worthy of the authorship of Jules
Verne have been undergoing a process of
slow evolution in the brain of G. NJ. Lem
cry, of East Oakland, for nearly four years,
and now if he had S15O,OOO he would conf
IDENTIFY begin most remarkable expedition
with remarkably novel contrivance.
He has completed working drawings of a
queerly contrived Gland ship" with which
he proposes to roam through the undis-
covered gold regions and the unexplored
plains and depths of Africa, discovering
long lost deposits of riches, the source of
Solomon's gilded glories, gathering tons of
precious ivory, revealing the unknown in
books of travel and adventure, and gen.
orally winning wealth and fame if success
shall reward his hopes. His Gland ship is
a big car of aluminium, strong and light,
which is to climb mountains, jolt over logs,
travel through forests and over plains, and,
Ikea duck, plunge from the banks of rivers
and lakes right into the water and speed un-
interrupted to opposite shores. This con-
trivance would at once be the home, fort,
shelter, means of transportation and travel
ing storehouse of the exploring party. 1t
is not the first attempt to combine steam
road engine and steamboat, yet the appli-
cation appears to be an original one with
Mr.. Lemery.

AN INFLUX OF JAPs.

Thousands of Them to Be Imported to Re-
place the Chinese.
ESPECIAL TELEGRAM TO THE DIsPAToH.1
SAN FRANCISCO, June 12-Since the
Chinese were excluded from California it
has been more difficult every year for rail-
road contractors and others to secure large
gangs of laborers under contract, who can
be fed cheaply and without any trouble.
Charles A. Doyle, who lives in Yokohama,
proposes to supply this demand with
Japanese laborers, whom he will import by
the thousand, unless the Government steps
in and checks the immigration. Doyle is the
head of a company which is backed by a
Japanese millionaire. This company has
contracted for 5000 Japs from the northern
part of Japan to come to this country for $40
q month and board. The company will farm
them out here at 81 day and board, thus
making handsome profit.
These Japanese are described as able
bodied men, fully equal to Chinese in
muscle and endurance. They are being
shipped to Honolulu, where many are work.
ing on sugar plantations, but the best class
will be brought here. One thousand five
hundred will come on the first steamer
about two weeks hence. Nearly all are con-
signed to the Southern Pacific Company for
work in big tunnel which the company is
cutting near Santa Barbara.

CHICAGO'S NEW BRIDGE
Is 4 SERIOUS DETRIMENT TO LARGE
MARINE INTERESTS.

A Report by Captain Marshall Pointing
Out the Damage the Bridge Is Doing
Vessel Men Are Suffering Great Loss Be-
cause of
WASHINGTON, June 12.-In response to
an inquiry from the War Department, Cap
tain Marshall, of the Engineer Corps, has
made the following report upon the effect
of the construction of the Canal street
bridge over the Chicago river, at Chicago:
1t is considered that facts and not opinions
are desired. As far rs the latter are con-
ce-ned, the report of February u, 1891, still
holds as far as this office is concerned.
Since February l2, 1891, the city has COM
plcted the superstructure of this bridge and
now the structure is a bridge, pedestrians
with difficulty pass it: vehicles do not. The
right span, as planned, does not exist-the
city nos yet having acquired title to the
necessary land to be cut away to allow them
TO construct and open it to navigation GO feet
wide, as designated and absolutely neces-
The Eighteenth street bridge is still an OBJ
StructiOn after 20 years controversy. The
city has inaugurated condemnation suits to
acquire title to the necessary lands to open
the second draw, or that necessary for navi-
CATION in the Canal street bridge, but they
give no estimate of the time required The
bridge was commenced prior TO the act of
September IS, 1890, and the obstruction is
the substructure. The pivot pier occuDies
the cDann6l Formerly used and other
practicable channel has been furnished in
stead. The city claims that it owns and can
open Canal street up to and past the bridge
This bridge now oDstlucts navigation, and
l. an unreasonable obstruction, leaving out
opinions, in so far at least as it has been
placed in the river at a narrow place and at
a sharp bend where 1t cannot be safely
passed by the largest craft: where the CITY
has now no power to complete any other
than an obstructive bridge-span for vessels
using the river and when the city has not
furnished the overland interest a bridge
that can generally be used by them.
1t obstructs navigation as a fact, while it
does not answer the requirements of land
traffic, and when the city cannot lessen the
obstruction (unless il removes the pivot
pier). Nesselmen have stated to me that they
lose One-fOurth Of their time in the Chicago
river by delay at this bridge and that the
loss of the margin interests by delay at this
bridge has already been many times its
value and cost. This may seem reasonable
when it is considered that from 40 to 90
vessels have occasion to pass this structure
daily.

KONGO STATE TREATY.
MANY INQUIRIES COMING IN TO THE
STATE DEPARTMENT.

A Reply to These, Explaining Why This
Government Has Not Signed the Treaty
The Question Is Still Pending in the
National Senate.
WASHINGTON, June ia number of
inquiries have been received at the Depart
ment of State from philanthropic organiza-
tions and individuals as to the failure of the
United States Government to signify its ad-
herence to the Kongo treaty, the final ratif-
cations of which must be exchanged before
the end of the month. This treaty is an
agreement to suppress the slave trade, the
sale of breech-loading firearms and intoxi-
cants in the Kongo district of Equatorial
Africa and nearly all of the great powers
of the world have Joined in accepting its
obligations
The State Department has asreplied to these
inquiries that the subject is still under con-
sideration by the United States Senate in
executive session and the department. does
not feel at liberty to discuss the matter gen.
orally, but that it is proper to say as re-
suit of recent correspondence that it is not
improbable that the treaty will go into eff
feet at the appointed time in respect
to all of the signatories except the United
States and that it will be left open to this
Government to give its adhesion hereafter.
The department has been working to this
end and the Senate, having failed to take
definite action, that was all that could be
done, pending further action by the Senate.
This treaty was negatived at Brussels and
a representative of the United States Gov
ernment assisted in it preparation. 1t was
laid before the Senate toward the close of
the last Congress for approval and an Exec
utive communication called attention to the
necessity for speedy action. After a long
debate in executive session the treaty was
rejected, but as motion to reconsider was
entered the matter is still pending.

KANGAROOs AS FOOD.

ing Them Is Great Sport.
New York Herald.I
The country regions of Australia abound
in kangaroos, which are fine eating, being
clear of fat except about the tail, tasting
much like venison. The favorite dish is
what is called steamer" This is made
of steaks and chopped tail with few slices
of salk pork, stewed with very small
quantity of water for couple of hours in a
close vessel. The early settlers used to
drive these animals back from the settle
ments into the forests yet unexplored.
There are several varieties fthe kangaroo
The forest kangaroo is of gray color, has
long fur and inhabits the forest. The
walaroo is black, with shaggy fur, and lives
in the hills. The red kangaroo has smooth,
short, close fur of reddish color, looks very
much like sea otter and lives in the forests.
Each of these varieties when full grown
weighs 200 pounds or more. The wallabee,
another variety, weighs about go pounds
and inhabits the bushes and the broken
hilly country. The rock kangaroo lives in
the rockiest portions of the mountains, and
the kangaroo rat is no larger than a small
rabbit and lives in the hollows of trees. 1t
hops over the ground very swiftly and fur
nishes good sport in the chase.

Two Alleged Husbands Claim the Body of
'an Ohio Woman.
DAYTON, June 12-Last night an un-
known woman committed suicide at drug
store in this city. To-day two men claimed
her body, each one believing her to be his
wife, and each one backed up by evidence
of mourning relatives. David M. Cunning
ham called at the morgue with his son, and
stated to the Coroner that the remains were
those of Mrs. Cunningham, from whom he
lived separate for some time because of her
opium habit,
They were proceeding to arrange the body
in the coffin for burial, when Sergeant John
Chandler, of the National Military Asylum,
convinced the Coroner that the body was
that of his wife. He described her jewelry
and watch fully, then told the Coroner of
marks and scars that would be found on her
body, and as this proved to be correct, the
Cunninghams gave up all claim, and Ser
geant Chandler took his wife's body away.
Cunningham and his son and brother-in-law
then instituted search for Mr.. Cunningham,
and found her in good health this evening,
and ignorant of the reports of her supposed
suicide.
