Chinese pawnbroaers.

Among the Canton houses thero arc
occasional exceptions to the general one
storicd or low constructions. Some of
these arc built like square towers four
or five stories high, with 10 outside
windows save at a considerable distance
above the ground and no outside pro-
jections by which thieves might climb
up. These establishments aro called
pawnshops, but they appeared to me
moro to resemble our banks where we
place deeds and other yaluables for safe
ty. understand it is usual among the
Chinese to deposit their possessions OF
value, when not in use, in these estab-
ELEMENTS.

SAN Francisco, March G.-Within a

have managed the Lick estate since the

IRISH LAND BILL.
Morley's New Mea.ure Introduced In the
House OF Commons.

Oi SommOns'
LONDON, March G.-Iu the house of
commons John Morley introduced the
new Irish land bill In explaining the
oil Mr. Morley said that az the founda-
ton of the government proposals was
q broad pr4nc. pie Of social policy to-
wards Ireland. A general rule of pro-
tect.ng the tenant III ownership if i'm
p"Oyements We're made was absolutely
indispensable i'll Ireland, owing to the
dec son Of the Irish courts, which upset
the intentions OF parliament. The gov
ernment now proposed that all the I'M
provements on building should be pre-
sumed to have deem done by the nant
unless the contrary was proved. The
bill directed the court; to give ample
COlnpensat on and security To a tenant
for improvements, and it also proposed
to amend the act of 1870 so AZ to make
1t perform its functions III the way it
was designed it should. Consequently,
it would be modified III order to
Prevent the Un.oubted Intention
Of parliament being frustrated The
compensation to be paid to Il tenant
would be i'll money or i'll moneys
worth. 1t was also proposed by this
measure that holdings should be sub
Ject to statutory conditions until the
new rents We're fixed and the statutory
conditions thereby revised. It. also
makes term Of holdings 10 instead of -
years, at the end OF which time rents
are to be revised.
In regard TO the landlord right of
pre-emption the tenant was to he al
lowed the free sale OF his interest, but
before selling he had to give cash to the
landlord, who might purchase the ten
ancy for the sum agreed upon. When
the court
Fixed "a Fair Rent
the landlord might demand that the
court specify the value OF the holding
III case the tenant wishes to sell and the
landlord wishes TO buy.
Where the tenant was in occupancy
as L care saker Tor five years nd had
discharged all the Obligations inciden-
tai TO the holding, he should, at the end
Of that period, be deemed 20 be the
present tenant again with a. the rights
Of occupancy.
II W:us further proposed by tho bl
that all arrears OF rent might be rocOv-
cred WI hin the next two years. After
then the andlord would be able TO re-
cover two years arrears only.

1t seems that Mr.. Kidd was victimized
by having Il ra-sed bank no5e passed

along. Upon the receiver returning it
and asserting that he had obtained it

by the sharper who originally
passed the bill upon Mr.. Kidd there.
upon brought their bad bills to him
and forced him, by threatening to make

Kidd thereupon voluntarily informed
the United States secret service officers
that he would assist them in running
down the malefactor and turned oven
the bills. This action, strange Us il
may seem, if anything, pointed suspic.
ion toward him. The officials of the
Milwaukee road, however, promptly
bore witness to his honesty and integ-
