London, Feb. 7.-Silver took an
other drop to-day, the price of bar
silver reaching the lowest point in
many years. The market was fiat at
20 13-16d per ounce.
The morning papers comment upon
the fact of silver touching the record
price. The Times regards the matter
seriously, and in it's financial article
says it attracts the attention of many
interests.
New York, Feb. Bar silver,

pipes. musical instruments, fire crack
ers, gambling tables, and the usual
adiuncts of once prosperous colony,
not forgetting Joss, with other OBJ
iects of heather worship. 1t was
sight not soon to be forgotten to see
the interior of Chinatown displayed
on the street, and I think would be
greater attraction at the Midwinter
Fair than the Midway Plaisance. The
principal object of the citizens was to
keep the fire from spreading to the
town proper. Fortunately Chinatown
being situated below or at the east, and
the prevailing winds coming from the
southwest, there was little danger,
as the snow on the roofs of the houses
and in the yards prevented the fire
from spreading very rapidly. The Joss
house was in great danger and badly
scorched, when some Christians began
throwing water on it to save it, but
Celestial who had faith in his Joss
said GLOSS ale light; Joss no burn.
Groups of the followers of Confucius
thought he would help them and ap-
pealed to him or their god of fire to
help them, but the fire burned on and
consumed every thing that was not
removed. Two houses on the south
end of Chinatown are all that is left
to mark the place that was once a
lively and busy town-no thanks to
Joss, who was seen in his accustomed
place in the Joss house as composed
as usual. One Chinaman barely es-
capped being cremated, he having been
caught in house by the roof falling,
but rushed through and after rolling
in the snow escaped with little harm.
Chinatown is gone. We have looked
on it so long that we are lost without
it. The Cinnamon here have con-
Quoted themselves well. Charley
Wah, we'll known as our pioneer res
tauranter, lost five houses and has
the sympathy of every body; SO has
Charley Lento, another restauranter
of more recent fame, who lost six
houses and all his effects. Both are
popular among all classes. Many
hungry men who have been fed gra-
tuitously by them will be sorry to
learn of their misfortune. The loss
can only be estimated by themselves.
Charley Wah reports having lost 5000
in money The fire originated in the
house of a Chinawoman of easy vir-
tue who was propitiating the gods
when taper caught some filigree
work and the result is as described
above. Our citizens should bestir
themselves and form hook and lad
der brigade, as with the stalwart arms
of both men and women at the fire,
coupled with the necessary apparatus,
the fire might have been confined to
one or two houses. AS similar Ca
lamity may happen to the town prop
er we hope it will be a warning to
some of our citizens who are very
careless about leaving lamps burning
while out visiting and others who
throw hot ashes in the street.

More Fraud.

Now that the Registration of the
Chinese is a matter of fact and the
registration has actually begun,
new obstacle has developed which
theatens to at least partly defeat the
object of the law.
AS a means of Identification the
law provides that each certificate of
registration shall be accompanied by
description of the person to whom
certificate is given and also that each
applicant shall provide the collector
with three photographs of himself, one
of which is attached to the certificate
one to the duplicate, and the other is
placed in a Book kept by the col
lector.
Owing to the close resemblance of
these representatives of the Celestial
Kindom, it is claimed to be matter of
impossibility to distinguish those who
have obtained certificates from those
who have not. A Chinese who has
received certificate at San Francisco
can, without fear of the deception be-
ing discovered, go to any registration
Office in the State, or any other State,
and procure another, and through the
practice of this fraud, which it seems
impossible to avoid, become the poss-
essor of as many certificates as he
chooses.
These certificates, he may transfer,
for money or other consideration, to
some member of the Flowery King
dom, who bears close resemblance to
himself. The party who purchases or
receives it, may run the gauntlet of
inspection with little if any fear of be-
ing detected by the officers.
An officer being asked. If China
man should come here for second
certificate, month after he had re-
ceived the first one, could you detect
him? replied, that he did not think
he could, they look so much alike and
they attend the Bureau in such crowds
that to remember their faces is a feat
of memory, which any veteran hotel
clerk would be proud of.
Under these conditions any Coles
ton who chooses to migrate to this
country, can do SO by sending des-
cription of himself to an agent here
and after getting the proper papers
may be struggled into the United
States as registered coolie, without
fear of detection.

On the 9TH inst. number of finan-
cial regulators, recently graduated
from some obscure college of specula-
ton gathered themselves together at
the Club" and after electing Presi-
dent Andrews of Browns University
chairman of the convention, pro-
ceeded to outline scheme of finance
which they claim was suggested by
the needs of commerce and interna-
tional trade. The promoters Of this
movement are opposed to the free
coinage of silver, but they claim that
the repeal of the Sherman Act affords
an excellent opportunity for advanc-
ing the cause of international bimet-
alism. Just how the advocates of
this singular doctrine intend to recon-
Gle their avowed opposition to the
free coinage of silver and at the same
time favor the bimetallic theory re-
mains to be seen.

THE SUGAR SCANDAL WITNESSES.

wAsHrNoroS, Nov. l7.-ExJudge Jere VII

w. MacCartney. the recalcitrant broker wit
nesses before the Sugar Trust Senate Investi-
eating Committee, proposes on Monday next TO
file additional demurrers against the indict-
ments which Judge Cole recently sustained.
The additional grounds taken by Mr.. Wilson
are that Congress has no power TO make the re-
fusal of witness summoned before q commit
tee q crime, and that Congress has authority
TO delegate the power TO punish for contempt OF
either branch thereof to the cours.
IL IL learned from ex-Judge Dittenhoefer OF
New York, who represents the indicted CORE
spondents, Shriver and Edwards, that the Dis
trict Attorney has served him with notice that
he win soon call up these cases. II so. demurrers
will be hled upon different grounds Judge Dit
tenhoefer said to-day:
Z" l am Of the opinion, after reading the deci-
sion of Judge Cole in the Chapman case, that
there are many important questions In my
clients case which are not passed on or even re-
ferred to in that decision. Indeed. they could
not be raised in the Chapman case. and feel
confident that even should the Court OF Appeals
afirm Judge Coles decision, the indictments
found against Messrs. Shriyer and Edwards
cannot on the other grounds be sustained"
