4 CHINESE CITY.

Quinsan lies at the end of spur OF
the famed Grand Canal, which is, next
to the Great Wall, the noblest work OF
the Chinese. Pagodas are not COM
mon in China. You do not see one in
| every day of travel, SO, l remember
that one is on the lone mountain that
dominates the approach to the city.
The outside town, such as lies by every
gate to every city, is a place where a
painter could spend year to better
advantage than in most painters re-
sorts in southern Europe. Rows Of
white walls, heavily rooted with black
tiles, face the water. The corners of
all the roofs are turned up, and some
have double corners. A few roofs, no
less picturesque, are Of gray thatch,
and few walls are black or gray or
blue, Or even dark red. Fancy the
gorgeousness of the scene, with the
people crowding there in new blues
and faded bluesi Bamboo balconies
push out to the waters edge, and car
ry idle men and women, in pretty
clothes, looking at US. The open shops
disclose workingmen making shoes or
collins OR cooking the wonderful bean
of hundred dishes.
AS the heart Of the place is reached it
becomes picturesque beyond descrip-
ton. High stone walls shut in the
water, and on these rise houses of
white staff, with cumbrous jet roofs,
and the most ornate, the most fanci-
full windows, paned with glossy inside
scales of oyster shells. Stone steps
lead down to the water, and each
bears a woman washing clothes or
rinsing wooden pots. Sunfowers and
pumpkin vines in bloom peep over
the walls of the houses, and beside the
walls of the stream are innumerable
boats, tied to carved dragons heads,
crabs, grotesque faces, and pretty
carvings of many sorts cut in the
granite. At all the doorways are tall
and often handsome men in long silk
coats and silken half breeches bound
tight around their ankles. At the win
women. On and on we float. And
presently we discover the long low
walls of Quinsan, made ever famous
by the valor of General Gordon. I'm
der the interminable low wall of what
we call Roman brick are plantations
of sunfiowers, and then more white
and black houses. They face another
tumble of boats of every fashion, from |
the stately cargo and chop boats to
the rows of slender express boats, /
waiting like omnibuses, for passengers /
for 500 Chow and Shanghai. The /
lyers' shops hang out long strips of
blue cloth; bridge is draped with
,olored stuffs hung there to dry; an
enormous vermillion banner floats
from a boat that like hundreds beside
It, is orange toned beneath it's sheen

Edward Merritt of Cabot met with
a serious accident last week which
caused his death He had a moving
machine hitched to the back of his
wagon and in some way he was
thrown from the wagon backward on
to the machine. He had presence of
mind long enough to stop his horse,
altho' he must have lain where he fell
for more than an hour, as the acct
dent occurred upon a road where
there is but little travel.
AS some Indication of the extent of
the green calf skin business carried
on in Hyde Park, the following state
ment as to the amount of @. S. Pages
hostages for the months of March,
April and May, may be interesting to
our readers: March, 1882, SO; April
for the three month of 1872, or an av
erage of 1914 per month or nearly $40
for each working day. There is an
other fact which speaks with consid-
cradle force of the growth of Gov.
Pages hide business. In 1880, that
he might save expense of carriage, he
decided to change the location of his
hide house to point on the railroad
track. He then erected his new hide
house, which was 10Sx40 feet, two
floors. This building then seemed to
be large one and it's extravaganza
proportions were duly commented up
on by Mr.. Pages friends. His reply
was that che hoped the business
might grow to it.' With single ex
ception, additions have been made to
the plant in every year from 1880 to
1895, the additions in 1898 alone be-
ing more than three times as large as
the entire new building erected in
1880. In 1894 tallow rendering plant |
was added and this year Mr.. Page is
putting in a plant for pulling wool |
from the pelts which are sent to him
by his numerous buyers and butchers.

on the Actions Of the aIlSIIonaTiss Com
vcycd In Letters RSCsIyod.
BOSTON, Dec, 6,-Letters from mis-
sIonaries of the American board at the
seat OF trouble In Turkey throws new
light on the fact that some OF the mis-.
sionaTics have not taken advantage OF
the advice OF Minister Terrell and the
armed escorts that have been provided
TO conduct them TO the coast. The
writer says:
THE government authorities give
every. assurance that, whatever hap
pens, foreigners win be protected and
we believe In showing our confidence In
these assurances. Should we run
away, the very valuable property OF our
boards would DO looted, our schools dis
persed and the work OF years broken
up Moreover. the native Christians
would be plundered and plunged into
still deeper distress and terror by the
flight OF those TO whom they natur-
ally look for help and protection,
"Our presence serves to restrain the
bloodthirsty impulses OF even the most
fanatical Moslems; while we are here
they do not dare to act as they other
wise would, nor do their lonBhended
leaders. This last reason alone, would
compel us To stay even 10 the last de-
gree OF risk TO ourselves"
A letter from another missionary who
Is en- route TO this station, says; Il feel
cheap not 90 be there"
The station to which he Is bound Is
one where massacres have occurred.

Speculation Regarding the Nature of Her
Reply In the Venezuelan Matter.


Reply In the Venezuelan Matter.
WASHINGTON. D. c., Dec, O.
There was u pretty general discussion
OF Venezuelan affairs among members
Of the house to-day. The general opln-
ion among those who viii have the con-
duct OF foreign affairs In charge In the
house Is that Lord Sulishury's reply
win be a diplomatic evasion OF the main
issue; that II WIN be couched In the
most friendly terms, and while eX-
pressing q Willingness TO nrbltrnte rs 10
n portion OF the disputed territory, Will
deny the right OF the United States to
ask Great Britain to aTbltrate as 10
territory the ownership OF which Great
Britain claims Is hers beyond dispute.
In other words Il Is believed that Great
Britain's reply will temporiEe with the
subject and simply open the way for
further correspondence.

OF the tariff Is Infinitely OF more i'm

NEW YORK. Dec. 6.-R. G. Dun &
Companys weekly review Of trade,
which issues tomorrow, will say:
Business is stlll sluggish as II gorged
by excessive indulgence OF the appe-
tite for buying when prices were ad-
vanclng In nearly every branch
stocks, not yet distributed to consume
crs, stand In the way OF new orders, and
competition OF producing force large
ly exceeding the present demand puts
down prices, that decline retarding pur-
chasers yet more. After the holiday
men look for n larger demand.
Wheat has advanced about cent for
the week, though western receipts have
been 7,0li,9ll bushels against S,1gl,7SS
year. Corn moves from farms less
freely than n year ago, the low prices
hlndering, but exports were l.2Se,714
bushels, against l7S,sl3 last year.
Dress goods are In less demand and

Mt valley mills and blllets SIS 30. The
average OF all quotations is sh per cent
below the highest point in September,
but actual sales are frequently made
below quotations. Proposed combina-
tion OF lake ore producers has not yet
been affected, and with the fall In the
price OF iron is less probable. There Is
more pressure to sell southern pig here
and some large transactions have been
made by concessions, while the small
demand has broken the barbed wire

CINCINNATI Ohio, Dec. 6,-The
story has become public to-day that z,
Il. Lewis, OF Urbana, who ylctImIzed
numbers OF people by selling forged
municipal bonds, and VINO, after an at
tempt to support himself by brazen de-
NAL or buying on his Rccusers, finally
absconded, is now hotly pursued over
the world by Ralph Crawford, Gin
cInnatl detective. It Is u. story which
affords opportunity for enlargement,
for the chief feature OF IL is that Craw-
ford has unlimited means In cash and
letters OF credit TO enable him TO travel
around the globe, II necessary, and this
money is furnished BY Cincinnati banks
which until now have been silent VIC
tins OF Lewis forged bond business.
1t Is said that the Cincinnati banks
kept perfectly still about loss that 10
given anywhere from 3l500O0 10 a quar-
ter million, through Lewis wileS, but
that four weeks ago they formed o
pool, got permission OF the police COM
missioners to employ Detective Ralph
Crawford TO search for the absconding
Lewis.
Lewis, though prominent church
member, and, before his Night, a peace
able citizen, is represented as being q
desperate man, whose capture might
result In n tragedy, and whose friends
We're ready TO lay down their lives In
his defense. The police OF course, are
bound to secrecy regarding Crawford's
movements. The banks naturally have
no revelations to make concerning such
heavy losses Incurred through hand

AN EXCITING TINE
Due to BIaIS in the Assay Once In New

NEW YORK, Dec, G,-There was
great commotion In the assay office in
Wall street this morning. The journal
OF an engine In the deposit melting
room, where t9,4OO,OOO In gold bars was
being arranged for shipment, became
ovcrheated and the oil ignited. The
flames followed the oil train along tho
point OF the mRchlneryfo the ceiling
outside on the Wall street side came
great kicking at the doors. II was a
policeman trying TO get In, An official
opened the door about an inch and then
slammed the door IN the policeman's
face. The policeman ran 10 fire box
and turned In an alarm and In few
moments two engines ratified up to the
corner.
The nremen, axes In hand, made an
onslaught on the iron doors, but they
were refused admission, They insisted
and finally fifteen were allowed to en-
ter.
Mr.. Crosa. chief clerk, said that the
only danger was that the fire might
have extended To the assay room over
the dCpogit melting room, The building
was old and the timbers very dry and
consequently highly inllammable. The
damage did not amount TO over 500.
