encouragement From Hong Kong.

Consul General Wildman, writing
from Hong Kong on the commercial
situation during the first half of the
year 1898. emphasizes the fact that
there Is "a general and a permanent
Increase in trade"
At the close of his report he gives an
explanation of the unusual activity in
the local markets during the last year
in the statement that. ION account of
its geographical position. the colony
benefits commercially by political up
heavals of any nature that occur on
the Asiatic coast"
1t will be remembered that the Amer
lean squadron arrived at Hong Kong
Just a year ago this month and the
sudden demand for American goods,
especially foodstuffs. placed upon the
market many samples which the con-
suls have for months been urging the
manufacturers in this country to send.
Our army and navy are now seven
hundred miles from Hong Kong, and
Mr.. Wildman thinks that the reac-
ton and depression in some lines
which follow the undue stimulus caus-
ed by the presence of a squadron will
find compensation in the fact that the
navy did the one thing needful to the
establishment Of a Chinese market for
American goods, viz, placed the
samples in the hands of the Chinese
merchants. The permanent Increase
Of trade" of which the consul speaks,
manufacturers will profit by the hints
given in regard to the peculiarities of
the Chinese trade.
The first step has been taken. Ships
are now carrying other things from our
land besides kerosene and flour. In ad
dition to the canned goods. large ship
ments of Texan cotton are on the way
to Hong Kong. There is good pros
pect that the upland cotton will sup
plant the Indian and Chinese growths,
thus creating for it a market drawn
upon by SO.0OO,090 people, since Hong
Kong is the feeder for three Of the
richest provinces Of China.
The consul urges merchants to bear
well in mind. however. that the port
is already free and to manipulate their
goods accordingly. Many firms have
carefully measured up" the influence
Of this fact and have successfully in
PRODUCED their goods. Three brands of
beer, one brand of whisky. sewing ma
chimes and bicycles 0he demand for
the last is restricted by the small OPP
portunity for their use) have made for
themselves place on the Chinese mar
ket.
The G ! o e has several times given
space to consular reports setting forth
the popularity Of Chinese business
methods. Consul General Wildman
brings out and emphasizes the same
points-the importance Of the trade
mark. the superior. selling quality of
'fashy" goods and those Of not too
sterling quality. and the unyielding
tyranny of the Chinese guilds.
All these things may as well be
learned before they are stamped into
the trader by loss and disaster.

CARE OF CHILDREN,
Inquiry Answered Concerning Condi-
lions in the District,


The District Commissioners recently re-
ceived a communication from Mr.. Thomas
Campbell Copeland of 1877 East 18th street
New York, stating that investigation is
In progress in that city for the purpose of
ascertaining in what manner the future
well-being of newsboys, bootblacks and
other male child-workers may be advanced.
The writer explained to the Commission
ers that steps are being taken to supple
ment the efforts of the numerous societies
and associations working toward the adj
vancement of such children in q practical
manner, and that in order that those in
terested in the movement may work to the
best possible advantage, it is essential that
existing conditions in other cities should be
ascertained. To this end the inquirer SUBJ
mItted number of inquiries, which he de-
sired the Commissioners to answer, as to
the age of the children; restriction as to
latenesS of hours on the streets; as to
school attendance, and like questions. One
of the Inquiries was rs any provision made
IN the District for homeless neWSboyS and
bootblackS in the matter of educa ton, shell
ter, clothing, etc? Also, Have any of
the local newspapers an organized staff of
newsboys in uniform under their orders?'
Replying to the inquiries, the Commits
Sioners have Informed Mr.. Campbell-Cope-
land that there is a newsboys and chill
dren's aid society here, limited in its work
to newsboys and bootblacks at the time it
was organized, but which very soon extend
ed its work to other classes of children;
that the society maintains an institution of
considerable size. including a school, read
ing rooms, gymnasium and a dormftory, and
that newsboyS are encouraged to join the
classes. Also, that the society secures
homes and employment for the boys when
possible and that the daily average in the
institution during the fiscal year ended
June 3d. 1898, was 43.

VIOLATES LAW.
Miss Ellen EIdred's Efforts at Reform
DisapprOved.

Ellen E. Eldred was today charged be-
fore Judge Kimball with vagrancy. The
evidence showed that the woman is IN the
habit of visiting various saloons and dis
tributing tract, entitled Dialogue be-
tween Ellen E. EIdred and Washington
saloon keeper. Price but little-Just a
Nickel Messrs. John L. Burkart and
Lewis Bush said that Miss Eldred came
into their places and laid tracts before men
at the bar and at the tables.
Mr.. Pugh claimed the fact that the price
asked for the paper was cents when it
was worth nothing made Miss Eldred
operations species of begging.
Judge Kimball said if Miss Eldred went
into a saloon for the purpose Of warning
men against the danger of liquor drinking
there would be no legal objection, but when
she indicated on her tract that she wanted
cents for the tract she was on the same
plane as organ grinders, lead pencil sellers
and others who seek to get money without
giving an adequate return for 1t.
Miss Eldred asked If those who sell the
Salvation Army War Cry are not also beg
garS.
The court answered in the negative-their
paper being worth the money.
Suppose l reduce the price to l cent, can
l continue to visit the saloons?" inquired
