 $500. 900. 900.

"lIow rich are you?" asked Li Hung Chang of nearly every man and woman ushered into his presence during his sojourn in New York. Everybody was surprised and talked seriously of what Americans chose to call the impertinenee of the in- terrogations.
 The few who had the temerity to turn the tables on the viceroy have met with evasive answers. Indeed it is doubtful if the great Ghinaman is able to answer the question How rich are you2' Few men of vast wealth such as his know within hundreds of thousands of dollars what they are worth. finacially speaking.
 However. after careful research and Investigations the Sunday World is able to give the following account of Ii Hung Chang's wealth, which is believed to he as authentic as any that can be compiled. The viceroy is reputed to head the list of the great multi-millionaires of the world and is said to be worth nearly Sj00,- GOO ,000 To this princely store 1t is computed that he is adding at the rate of about $50.000 q day, surely more than he can spend. even in taking expensive jaunts around the globe.
 The bulk of his wealth is invested in expensive rice fields and almost innumerable and vastly profitable pawnshops distributed over a con- siderable part of the Chinese.cmpire. 4 large part Of his money is invested fn English bonds, and it is rumored that Ire owns il big bunch of Amer iean railway securities. This seems doubtful, as he has urged many American capitalists, including Railway Magnate collis P. Hunting ton, to invest their money in China.

1t Vas Killed.

A bill was introduced and passed
the house in the Louisiana leg
stature to license gambling of all
kinds. The Picayune thus indig-
nantly assailed this measure: What
do the decent people of New Orleans
think of this? Never before in the
history of Louisiana, not even in the
worst days of military despotism, in
Louisiana, not even in the most
reckless period of radical rule, when
almost any other outrage on honor
and decency was perpetrated, was
gambling ever openly authorized or
protected by law. Is 1t going to be
left to a democratic legislature to
perpetrate such an infamy?'
Fortunately for the good and
peace of society the bill was killed
in the senate on Friday, and thus
the ftate saved from the spectacle
of making a revenue out of licensing
a vice that would debauch the
youth of this State and add fresh
incentives to crime and the disgrace
of the felon's cell.

THE LUCKY MAN.

Ticket holder of No. 8l77, entitl-
ing the possessor to the big sole"
leather trunk, made his appearance
at Sharpe & Brewers this morning
and had the trunk carted off to his
boarding house.
The gentleman's name is Thos.
Cafe, and he holds the position of
night policeman at the Union de-
pot,
He landed in the city one month
ago, from ST. Louis, and very few
of our people know him, but he
held the lucky little pasteboard
card just the same, that drew the
trunk.
He told the reporter he was the
holder of eight tickets in the draw
ing, and when he learned he had
caught the prize, was as much sur
prised as if he had been told he was
selected as candidate on the Pop
uist ticket for President.
We congratulate the young man
on his good luck.
