Ferdinand Greyenbieh1, of Paris.
France, registered at the Merchants
yesterday, on his way to San Fran
cisco. During the day Mr.. Greyen-
biehl called upon D. r. Noyes and
other acquaintance. Mr.. Greyenbiehl
is an agent for the brokerage firm
Of Maurice Allan, of Paris. A con-
Germ of that kind in Paris is different
from similar concern in this country
Mr. Greyenbiehrs functions are to take
orders for such goods as his firm han
dies, and, on the other hand, to buy
In this country materials and mer-
chandise for export to his own coun-
try, and thus balance accounts. His
trip to San Francisco has something
of unusual interest, for the reason that
the gentleman goes there to buy a
large quantity Of gold milling machin-
cry which he will ship to China for
the use of French syndicate in the
Tonquin country.
There have been recently discovered
In China, and especially in the region
OF Tonquin, deposits of gold and con
per-bearing quartz These deposits
bear evidence of wealth and will be
pushed to a thorough exploration.
Inc best gold milling machinery in the
world is made in the United States.
we could not buy anything in France
TO compare with it, SOL shall make nv
purchases in San Francisco and shir
them from there. France has not had
the experience in mining operations
that you have had in the United States
Your milling and mining machinery
as well as your agricultural imple.
ments, are recognized all over the
world as being the best on the market
Your inventors are certainly very
clever"
What is the leading topic of inter
est in France at the present timer
was asked of Mr.. Greyenbiehl.
Probably the Cretan and the Cubar
struggles, Naturally the Europear
governments differ in their positions
France being a republic, the greal
masses Of the people would like to ses
Grecian independence, but, as Turkey
owes France vast sums of money. tbs
French government does not want t1
see the sultan's country whipped"
What about Cuba ?"
We'll, replied the visitor with q
shrug of his shoulders, I'VE canno,
understand why the United States
should interfere as she does. YouI
evasion of the neutrality laws sur
prlses us. 1 can see, perhaps, your
reasons. We look upon Spain as !
good nelghbor, although a very poor
and impoverished one"

remarked Mr.. Somerby to a reporter
for the G b e, after the arrival of the
train. "Of course we expected IL

Mandan week ago, We were DELAYED
by the high waters of the Missouri
river, which made travel impossible
In many places the tracks were com.

were believed to be unsafe. We ex.

day we still had hopes, but again we
were disappointed, and so it went FOL
six days. There was nothing to do h1,-
to sit in the cars or look out of tn.

travelling men around to indulge in {

we became used to the monotony. Thu
