Repairing the Canal.
The work of repairing the canal is going
rapidly on. Had there been no Hood in the
Potomac the traffic on the waterway would
have commenced on last Monday and con-
tinued through until the middle of Decem-
ber. The repairs are being made with as
large force of men can he handled,
and while the bank of the canal Is being
strengthened and rebuilt in weak places.
there is another large force of men going
over all of the DAMS waste weirs and locks
on the course making such repairs as may
be needed. The entire work is expected to
be completed by the fore part of next
month, when the canal will be again
thrown open for business. 1t is understood
that the large purchase of coal lands in the
vicinity of Cumberland by Pennsylvania
capitalists will not affect the tonnage on
the waterway this season, most of the
product has already been contracted for,

Wealthy Celestials Who Are Charged With
Treason Against the Emperor.
They Come 10 Ask the Minister to
1ntercede for Their
Pardon.

Zen chinese millonaires will arrive here
tonight to see Yang Yu. the minister of
the celestial empire. They are members
OF the powerful society OF See Yups of
San francisco, charged with treason to
the emperor. Two Of them are condemned
10 death and two to Punishment for life.

lister.
The Story of the Difficulties.
The story of the difficulties of the rich
Cinnamon is an old one. 1t is a story of
the mysterious workings of one of the
powerful Chinese societies of San Fran
cisco, societies that exercise an influence
among Cinnamon even greater than that
of government. The See Yup is a charit-
able and benevolent society, and Is incor-
porated under the laws of California. Some
time ago the Chinese consul appointed as
visitors to this society four or five China
men who were said to be members of a
rival organization, the Sam Yup Society.
The result was the See Yups were accused
of plotting against the celestial govern
ment and its minister at Washington. The
consul general forwarded these charges to
the minister here, and he sent them to the
emperor, and the culprits were at once
placed under condemnation.
The worst of the case was In the fact
that twelve or fourteen relatives of the
men condemned to death and to Danish
ment, who We're living in China, We're
thrown into prison and all their property
confiscated. They will come to this city
with trunks full Of affidavits from the
leading bankers and merchants of San
Francisco, and their lawyers will endeavor
to enlist in their behalf the influence of the
Chinese minister, who returns to China in
April. when they hope he will intercede in
behalf of the wealthy cuprits and secure
their pardon at the hands of the emperor
