QUEER FREIGHT FOR CHINA,
The Skeletons OF Dead Chinese Shipped IN
Boxes Marked ..Fish Bone.p

Tho Skeletons OF Dead Chinese shipped In
Boxes Marked "Fish Bone"
A curious freight which is shipped
exclusively from San. Francisco to
China is t'fish-bone," which paws
twenty dollars ton. It is sent in large
boxes consigned to the Tung Wah hos
pital at Hong Kong, but the contents
of the boxes are really the bodies Of
dead Cinnamon sent home for burial.
Most of the Cinnamon who come to the
United States, says the Chicago Record,
are under the care of the Six Com
panies, who sign contract guarantee
ing to return the bones of the dead for
burial with their ancestors in the celes-
tial empire, and the Tung Wah hos
pital acts as the agent on this side in
carrying out the agreement. They are
shipped as "fsh bones" in order to
evade the rule of the steamship COM
panies, who charge full first-class
passenger rates for the dead.
Nearly every ship leaving San Fran
cisco for China carries among the steer
age passengers a number of invalids
who hope to live until they reach their
native country, but several usually die
on every voyage. There is an agree
ment between the steamships and the
Six Companies which forbids the burial
of these bodies at sea, and the latter
furnishes collins of the peculiar Chinese
pattern for use in such emergencies.
. They are made of slabs, the first cut
of the log, SO that the sides and bottom
and top are rounded. A dozen or more
are carried on each ship, and the sur
geon is furnish with a supply of en-
balming fluid.
When Chinaman dies at sea the sur
geon embalms the body, which is then
placed in a coffin, sealed up, and
lowered into the hold. The expense is
paid by voluntary contributions from
the other Chinese passengers, the
crowd, and the stewards of the ship,
all of whom belong to that race. No
subscription. paper is passed around,
but pan containing Chinese sugar is
placed beside the coffin, and every
Chinaman on board drops in his con-
tribution, from a dime to a dollar, and
takes piece of sugar from the pan,
which is supposed to bring him good
luck and prolong his life. When the
ship reaches Hong Kong the collins are
delivered to the Tung Wah hospital,
which disposes of them to the surviving
friends in China. Every Chinaman in
the United States is supposed to be
registered at the Tung Wah hospital
and with the Six Companies at Sar
Francisco. -

OFFICIAL PAPER.
Cri. :, Favors Silver.

Speaker Crisp passed through
Washington last week on his way to
New York, whence he sailed for Eur
ope. He was interviewed by the Ma
tional Recorder and spoke as follows
concerning the money question:
4The money issue is taking large
share of public attention. but it seems
to me to be entirely unnecessary for
this great nation of ours to go abroad
in search of credit in order to pre-
serve our financial integrity. I be-
lieve we are big enough and rich
enough to take care of ourselves, and
wise enough to devise some equable
monetary system which would put us
upon sound and. satisfactory basis.
The silver issue is very important
issue, and one that must be settled.
l suppose the Republicans will try to
settle it at the next session of
Congress, but fancy that there will
be some divergence in individual
views.
Il will not say that the South is
practically unanimous on the issue,
but it is very strong, 1 am told by
gold men that their side is gaining
strength, but we must wait until the
matter comes to an issue before we
can test that
ain my opinion, there is growing
constantly an idea that we should
have an increased use of silver in our
monetary system; that there is not
gold enough to give us the currency
that we absolutely need. Under the
present system gold is constantly
being drained from the country. A
change should be made"

Wallace was bleeding from a knife
wound in his back and he then pro-
ceeded to the Office of DIR. Barnett
where his wound was dressed. He
had received quite a severe cut near
the shoulder blade, but not neces-
sarily serious. After getting his
wound dressed he announced his
intention of proceeding on home
The history of the trouble dates
back from the time when Wallace
became Zane's son.in-law. Zane
objected to the marriage, an i'll feel
ing seems to have existed ever since.
At the time of the allotment of the
Seneca reservation Wallacc's wife
became possess Or of 50 acres of land
adjoining that of Zane, upon which
Wallace and his wife had lived. a
contention has continually existed
as to the boundary line of the land.
As the result of this contention two
or three surveys of the land have
been made. each one of which. il is
claimed. was disputed by Zane, and
the climax was reached on the day
of the murder when Zane with a
force of men appeared upon Wal
lace's premises for the purpose of
building fence within the lines on
Wallacc's land. Wallace. resisted
the cncroachments and with shot
gun in hand warned Zane to dcsist.
\ qnarrcl cnsucd resulting in Wal.
lace firing at Zane, a full charge OF
buckshot taking effect in Zane's
body, in or near his heart, instantly
killing him. At the same moment
Wallace received n stab in the back
with knife in the hands of "a son
of Zane, which. as stated above. Will
probably not prove serious. Wal
lace is credited by his neighbors as
being a peaceable citizen and is not
considered n quarrelsome or dan
gerous man. He will probably be
taken in charge by the officers of
the territory and be given hearing
by U. S. court.-Seneca Dispatch.

last week Jerry Wallace, who lives
about FIVE miles southwest of Sene-
ca, Mo-, in the Seneca Nation of the
Indian Territory, appeared at Judge
Greer's court and stated that chad
shot Alexander Zane at about 8 or 0

having occurred on Wallace's prem
Uses, in, the Seneca Nation, he was

tory, the state of Missouri having
