AL the overland trains arriving in Seat

horneward bound. During the past week
at least 100 OF the Mongoaians have left
Seattle for Victoria, from which port they
win sail for Hongkong.
But these are but few. Already more
than this number have arrived from the
East. and more are expected on every
train for the next ten days. All leave over

OF the great exodus. 1t Is then that the
Six Companies" in American will super
intend the shipment OF the bones of dead
Chinese to China. Representatives OF the
empire will be sent to all foreign lands for
the same purpose, and the beginning of
1890 will witness impressive ceremonies
connected with the reinterment Of the
bones In the soil of the Flowery kingdom

FORE
During period beginning about the mid

In all parts OF the empire win ob1efve a
sacred holiday. During Its progress fasts

during all this time the task Of laying the
bones In new resting places will be carried
on. 1t Is to witness these ceremonies that
large number Of Chinese are tourneyinx

timated that more than 1000 China men

Scrapping Day.

Last Friday was scrapping day in Douglas City and no less than four pairs either engaged in fight or pull. ed their coats for action. On News avenue two boys, one white the other an Indian, had a nice little fight and before that was ended a young Indian and a subject of King Oscar pulled their coats to engage in fight There was but one round, however, and neither party landed a blow. The Indian was the aggressor, while the kings former subject was on the defensive. The In dian drew back his right fist as far back as it would reach and struck at his opponent just like a woman throws a ball. His fist came within eight or ten inches of his antagonists face. Then the two talked loud and each told the other what he could do under cer. tain circumstances. They yelled at each other and gesticulated with their fists for some ten minutes while a crowd of forty or fifty people stood near by ill breathless suspense. They talked themselves tired and finally the Indian put on his coat. then the kings subject did the same, and the two left in diff ferent directions.
