PHILIPPINE CHINESE.
Americans. hut Must Have
Their Opium.

What water is to the caribao opium is
to the Chinaman. Unless the Chinese
were allowed opium the belly Of the
army might starve and the rifle want
for ammunition. Every Chinaman
whether in the supply train or In the
hospital corps, is not a "Johr,' as he Is
in the states, or boy" as he Is in the
English settlements in China, but q
aCheeno,' and the "Cheeno,' like the
carihao which he drives, prefers TO live
on the country If we would allow i.
But Uncle Sam, in his goodness of heart,
brings rice out from Manila for him,
while he leaves undisturbed to be re-
turned to their future owners such
stores as the insurgents have not
burned. A little rice and few smokes
a day and "Cheeno" manages to keep
pace with his caribao, and at other
times bear burdens that would break a
Filipinos back. The Yankee drivers do
not understand his language, and he
does not understand theirs. The team
ster swears and gesticulate and the
Chinaman "saveys" the second or the
third, il not the first time, what is want
ed. If he gets lazy and lolls under the
shade of cart, he is sure TO be up by
the time that the ''boss"-he knows
that mich American English is within
striking distance. From what they
have seen in the hospital corps, our Off
GERS are convinced that the Chinese un-
der white officers would make fine sol
diers. They will follow the white doc
tor into the most dangerous places on
the field. Without the white mans
moral support they yell and run. When
one cried out in his dream atone o'clock
In the morning two-thirds of our
carihao drivers thought that the Fill
pinos were upon them. In their fright
some jumped into the river. Our sol
diers in fishing them out forgot the dis
comforts of being awakened and near
ly bursted their sides with laughter.
But they have cause for their fears.
After squeezing all his money out Of
thrifty Chinaman, the Filipino some
times shave off his queue or sometimes
hang him.-Collier's Weekly.

SUGAR INTERESTS TO COMBINE.
Sesotiations in Progress Looking to
a Consolidation.

Chicago, June 6-That negotiations are
in progress looking toward a mammoth
sugar consolidation is now admitted by
one of the men most interested.
These stories have been circulated at
various times, remote and recent, but moth
ing confirmatory has been obtainable. 1t
is not asserted that the deal on hand at
present is IN tangible shape, but it is real
enough to have necessitated conferences
in New York. and the plans are now un-
der consideration by the executives con-
cerned.
From widely different sources to-day
came reports of the independent union of
the American Sugar Refining Company
and the Glucose Sugar Refining Company
with the subsequent absorption by pur-
chase or otherwise of the plants owned
by the Arbuckle interests and the Dos
cher reineres, with, perhaps, other COM
peting plants.
Il can say nothing definite at this time"
said one of the head men of the refneries.
q am in a confidential position with ref
erence to the matter. But l am at liberty
to say that there is a good deal more in
the reports of a combination of the sugar
interests than is generally credited. Ne
gotiations are in progress on the general
lines Indicated, but l cannot speak more
specifically"
