 Fl Paso. Texas, May 3.-There is not a more cosmopolitan town of it's size in the United States than Fl Paso. It has, according to the last aity directory, population of t8, 900 people, composed of Americans, Mexicans, Chinese, Negroes, and nearly every other race and nation ality under the sun. Particularly striking to the stranger is the large aumber of Chinese to be found here. Nearly every restaurant, cafe and eating house in the city is conducted by Chinese, who have found their way to Texas from California. Most of the hotels are conducted on the European plan with cafes in charge of Chinamen. 0f the rest Uf the population 1t Is estimated that 5000 are Mexieans. These do the class of work usually done by the negroes. Their labor is cheap and they are equally as good if not superior workmen to the negro in the South There are but few negroes in Fl PasO, in fact I do not remember to have seen over a dozen, and with 1he Mexicans doing the hard labor and the Chinese running the eating houses, there is no field orro0m here for the negro.

As an evidence of El Paso's $ growth lhe city clerk is authority for state ment that over 800 building permits have been issued within the last eighteen months. What is especially impressive to a visitor is that nearly all ol El Paso's houses are Of brick and stone. These are of the most attractive character There is no evidence of cheapness about them, and they present a most solid and substantial appearance. There are not over a dozen frame houses in the city and these are all residences. The reason of this is that lumber is searce aud high, and brick and stone Rre Letter suited to the climate. Yhe residences are very pretty and Indicate their owners have spared DO expense in building them. And ehe tenement houses -are but little 3nferior to the private residences, and l am inf0rmed that there is not q finished house fer rent in the city. Rents are of course very high, and real estate, us q local dealer sad to me yesterday, is 'out of sight. A 1aboring man complained that rents and every thing else here are very Nigh, while wages are no better than in other parts of the country.

CABLE BILL MAY PASS.
OPPOSITION no THE MEASURE
ABANDONED.
VIII BE Brought Up in the House
Again With Assurances of Success.
Changes Made.

WASHINGTON. February Am
other attempt to pass the Pacific cable
bill. which was killed by the determin-
ed opposition of Congressman Corliss
of Michigan. will be made soon, and
there have been assurances given to
the members of the House Commerce
Committee that the bill will pass.
They are now satisfied that there will
be only feeble opposition to the meas
ure.
There will be such changes made in
the bill that it will not offer any Of
the objections which told against il
in the first place. There is to be Il
clause which will give the Postmaster
General discretion in the awarding of
contracts. and this will bring into the
field other bidders for the franchise
than Scrymser, with the result that
in the end the cable may be construct
ed without cent for bounty on the
part of the Government.
The Cabinet has already taken up
Tie matter and there has been a de-
csion that every power of the Admin
istration should he put behind the
measure to force its passage at this
session. With the aid of the President
there seems little chance that the bill
will fail to pass when il is again called
up. The Hawaiian lobby now here is
at work for the bill, and will aid its
passage in every way.

NEW JAPANESE TAXES.

At a conference held by Messrs. Hos
hi and Hayashi at the official residence
of the premier on the list inst, it was
decided, the Yorodzu hears, that the
deficit in the revenue should be made
up by an increase in the tax on soy,
amounting to yen 100000 extra tobac-
co tax amounting to yen 100000, and an
increase of the postal rates to the
amount of yen 100000 while the
balance of the deficiency should be
drawn from the indemnity. The pro-
posed house tax in this event will be
Withdrawn.-Japan Times.

MAINE ANNINERSARY.

This is the first anniversary of the
blowing up of the Maine in Havana
harbor. Seventy-one days later war
began, and 107 days still later it was
over. A number of things have hap
pened in the year directly traceable to
the destruction of the American bat
tleship. The annexation of Hawaii is
probably one of them.
