COLLECTOR WISE'S PLAN.
How He Will Dispose of Chinese

How He Will Dispose of Chinese
Seeking a Landing.
Collector Wise has finally settled upon
this plan for handling the Chinese bust
ness connected with his office, especially
their landing in this port.
Here after upon the arrival of steamer
the Chinese Bureau will examine and put
in proper shape the papers of all Chinese
passengers. When that is done the Collec-
tor will visit the steamer. examine the
papers and their owners and determine
who are entitled to land.
Upon the completion of his inspection
Collector Wise will place the names of
those rejected upon a bulletin board so
that their friends and attorneys may be
notified, but he will not permit any in
f1uence to be brought to bear upon him to
change such decision. The Chinese re-
fused Landing must appeal to the courts
for assistance or return to China on the
steamer upon which they arrived.
Collector Wise has adopted this system
after careful investiga tion of the cases
of the Chinese who arrived on the Gaelic
this week and is confident 1t will result in
dispoSng of future cases with dispatch as
well as safety.

WELCOMED DEATH
Sullivan RejoiCes at the
Prospect.
He Pleads, Not for His Life, But for
a Speedy Execution of His
Sentence.

crowded courtroom was what P. J.
Sullivan gaZed upon yesterday when he
came up for sentence for the brutal muir
der of his wife on November II last year.
Sullivan had no expression of fear or
anxiety on his face. On the contrary, he
appeared the least concerned OF any of
the prisoners who sat huddled together in
the dock. But he pricked up his ears as
his name was called
Judge Seawell commenced by saying
that he had considered Attorney Mack's
motion for new trial, but felt compelled
to deny it. He would ask Sullivan if he
had anything to say against the sentence
of death alb ut to be passed upon him.
Sullivan was on his feet in an instant
"Yes, SIR" he said. II have. l may have
committed this crime. but l don't remem-
ber it, l never could get this through my

II was good man, Judge, once. l

The Judge slowly adjusted his spectacIes,
and without further preamble the solemn
sentence of death was read, Sullivan was
sentenced to be hanged on November IT,
1898, at San Quentin.
During the reading of the sentence Sui
livan stood. calmly gazing up at the cell

ers broke Jail at this place about mid
night last night and made good their
escape. 1t was accomplished by
Claude Shepherd, an all around crook,
who in some manner made keys to
open the cells and then cut a hole
through the back wall by using the
iron Stats of their cots for chisels.
The prisoners to escape were Claude
Shepherd and Hance Hydrick, the
latter charged with murder, both
white; Sam johnson, John Wallace,
VIM. Goldman and Henry Griffith,
colored, for minor offences. Hydrick
left a note fora friend giving his ad-
dress as Texarkana. There were sew
enteen prisoners confined in the jail
at the time of the delivery, but eleven
of them refused to leave their cells.
Officers are in hot pursuit and it is
thought that the fugitives will all be
recaptured at an early hour. Hy-
dricks note leads the officers to be.

gitives will make their way toward

KNOWLEDGE

Brings comfort and improvement and
tends 10 personal enjoyment when
rightly used. The many, who live bet
ter than others and enjoy life more, with
less expenditure, by more promptly
adapting the worlds best products TO
the needs of physical being, will attest
the value to health of the pure liquid
laxative principles embraced in the
remedy, Syrup Of Figs.
Its excellence is due to its presenting
in the form most acceptable and pleas
ant to the taste, the refreshing and truly
beneficial properties of perfect lax
ative; effectually cleansing the system,
dispelling colds, headaches and fevers
and permanently curing constipation.
1t has given satisfaction to millions and
met with the approval of the medical
profession, because it acts on the Kid
neys, Liver and Bowels without weak
ening them and it is perfectly free from
every Objectionable substance.
Syrup of Figs is for sale by all drug
gists in SOC and 81 bottles, but it is man
ufactured by the California Fig Syrup
Co. only, whose name is printed on every
package, also the name, Syrup of Figs,
and being well informed, you will not
accept any substitute if offered.

THE HOME OF CHOLERA.

In view of the certain appearance at
our ports of that dread scourge, Ash
attic cholera, and its probable spread
in this country, the following article,
treating of the disease, its germina-
ton, place of origin and other impor-
tant features of the plague, will not be
without interest 10 our readers:
India is generally referred to as the
"home Of cholera the disease being
established endemically throughout
wide area. This, however, is not, as
most Indian authorities once believed
and many would even now have us
believe, due to any mysterious or un-
preventable causes, but in virtue of
conditions which may all of them be
removed, and which in time, 1t is
hoped, will be removed. In India, as
elsewhere, water has been the chief
nurse and disseminator of cholera, and
it is believed that if every town and
village in India were provided with
pure and properly protected water,
the so-called "endemic area" would
soon become indefinite. DR.. M. G.
Furnell, who has had great experience
as surgeon-general of Madras, is firm
ly Of the opinion that the general
method of the propagation Of cholera
in India is the means of specifically
polluted water, and he has had no diff
ficulty in finding masses of facts in
support Of his opinions. The expert
cnces Of Calcutta, as observed by DR..
WI. Simpson, health officer of that
city, 60 to show that those persons
who have an abundant and pure water
supply, namely, the European and bet
ter classes Of natives, escape cholers
epidemIcs except In isolated instances
which can be accounted for; while the
natives who necessarily depend upon
tank water, suffer severely when a
tank becomes polluted by the excrets
of cholera patient 1t must be re-
membered that the natives bathe and
wash their utinsils and clothes in the
tank, because It is the only available
place for doing SO, and they use the
water Of the tank, contaminated as II
is, in addition by soakagc and sewage,
for cooking and drinking, because II
is the only available water supply fol-
domestic purposes. DR.. Simpson
raises very earnest cry against the
scarcity Of pure water. The first re-
quisite for Howrah and the suburbs
of Calcutta Is liberal water supply
while Calcutta itself needs an increas.

EUROPEAN FINANCES.
The Financial Difficulties of the
United States Affecting Europe.

\
The American financial situation
has at length been brought home to
the people of England as matter of
the greatest personal concern. Every
other Eurobean Capital has been able
to resist Americans clamorous de-
mand for gold. The drain is being
almost solely from London. The
banks Of England had large gold re-
serve when the American demands
began. This Is disappearing faster
than ever in the history Of the institu-
tion. Measures for meeting the emer-
gency are likewise unprecedented.
The bank never before made such
rapid advance in discount rates. 1t is
quite probable thas it will be necessa-
ry to make further advance to per
cent in a few days. The whole world
is locking up its gold. The premium
is per cent in Rome and II per cent
in Madrid. London bankers are maxi
ing preparations to compel some con-
tinental hoarders to .disgorge por-
ton of the treasure. II would be
easy.s.to create a currency famine
throughout Europe as acute as that of
the past few days in America. 1t is
always recognized that the embarrass-
ment of The United States cannot
long be localized.
The effect of this knowledge is q
rapid modification Of the opinions Of
both men and governments in Europe.
Never before was clearly realized that
Vhe financial world is after all only a
unit and that disturbance in Ameri-
ca must have its effect in Russia and
vice versa. Another resort to mon
etary conference is being discussed in
very different spirit from that with
which the invitation of the president
of the United States was greeted a
year ago. II Is quite possible that
the countries which sent delegates to
Brussels only as a matter of courtesy
will take the initiative Of calling an
other consultation and will join
earnestly In the search Of a solution
Of the problem. The commercial ef-
fects OF the American strengeacy are
no less significant in Europe than the
financial consequences. There has
been a sharp falling off within q few
weeks of the exports to America
from all parts Of Europe. This VIII
increase for some time longer. Or
ders for future shipments are being
cancelled in astonishing quantities.
On the other hand there are signs ofa
great increase exports of all kind
from America. The pressure is so
great that 1t may fairly be said that
America Is forcing the markets in
Europe. The results of course will be
an enormous balance of trade In favor
Of America, so that the present i'm
ports Of gold to this country will be
continued and more will be called for.
