mass of Coolie contract laborers on them

laws Of the Enited States.
The same facts also are within the
knowledge OF the consul general, of Mr..
Claus Spreckels and the Evening Post.
The first and last named are probably
divided in the sentiments which underlie
their several views. The consul naturally
would oppose annexation because his late
master did; and he did FOR various rea-

THE CUSTOMS OF THE CHINESE.
An Interesting Talk Thereon by
Miss NJ E. French.

Miss NJ E. French, formerly missionary
at Hongchow, gave an Interesting and
instructive talk last evening at the Central
Presbyterian Church, on the customs and
manners OF the Chinese.
She appeared in the garb commonly
worn by Chinese women.
Miss French gave very graphic ac-

was that the women made the purchases
on one side, while the men bought on the
other. She also told interestingly of the
temples, 800 or more which dotted the
hills ON the west side OF the city Here,
she said, in the seasons OF worship, thou
sands could be seen daily kneeIing in
prayer in front OF the temples.
Miss French then told generally Of her
own work. She called attention to the
sore need of medicines in the rural districts
and suggested that no better charity could
be done than keeping the missionaries wen
supplied, especially with quinine.
Miss French exhibited TO the audience

ladies' foot bandages and other articles

Old King Coal.

Chicago report has it that a millionaire
of that city, largely interested in coal, is
to visit Washington with view to secure
arbitration with Canada on the tariff
questions of coal and wool. The story
is that if the United States raises the duty
on Canadian wool from 10 to 75 cents, the
Canadians will rctort by increasing their
tariff on American coal from 60 to T5
cents. This alarming prospect, from the
interested Chicago standpoint, must be
met by ar arbitration treaty.
