CHINESE SAMPAN IMPORTED
MIR. Eddy VIII Put 1t Into Use on
Some New York Lake

Some New York Lake.
The steamship Acara, which arrived
the other night from ports in China,
brought n sampan, or native rowboat,
consigned to Ulysses d. Eddy of New
York. The sampan, which is the first
ever brought to the United States, is
probably the most gaudy and peculiar
craft to be used in these waters, says
the New York Sun. She is about 80
feet long and is s feet wide at her
greatest breadth. She is built of heavy
native timber. but is so nicely designed
as to have an easy and graceful ap-
pearance.
The stem, which rises high above
the water line, broadens out and is
gayly painted with blue, red, black
and green. The bow tapers gracefully
and is also decorated. Two large wood
en- eyes protrude. one on either side
of the bow, and give the craft fish
like appearance. The native China
man believes that the boat could not
go without eyes to see her course.
The natives are very proficient in get
ting about in their queer little craft.
Two long oars furnish the motive pow
er. The rover stands up in the center
of the boat. The boat responds to the
slightest movement of the oars and
can be completely turned around in its
own length.
Mr.. Eddy had made no provision the
other day for the removal of his
craft from the Acara, which
is now in pier 0, Brooklyn. Chief Off
Ger Hume of the Acara said that he
had no idea where the sampan was
TO be taken TO. but it is understood that
Mr.. Eddy will place it in actual use
on some nearby lake.

POLICE LAYITY UPTOWN.

Complaints are frequent that the household
ers in the territory north of the Harlem River
and citizens in the upper part of Manhattan ISL
and are not getting sufficient police protection
Criminals have been exceptionally bold and
troublesome all through that area in recent
weeks. Burglars and highwaymen have been
roaming about in unusual numbers, and have
been almost as successful in looting as some of
the Adventures in China. And across the You-
kers border thieves and lawbreakers have also
been amazingly daring.
The New-York Police Department is not
charged with the keeping Of the peace, the pro-
lection of life and property and the enforcement
Of the laws on the further side of the Yonkers
line. But If 1t is so negligent that it does not
hold burglars and highwaymen properly in
check in the two adjoining boroughs of Man
haitian and The Bronx. the people of Yonkers
have cause for complaint when they are at
tackled and robbed by felons who infest the
Harlem districts and often indulge in foravs
over the border. AS the Police Department of
New-York expects to spend more than s11 Ooo .
600 in 1901 it ought to do more efficient work
than it has been doing of late, both above and
below the Harlem.

FOR 4 SOUTHERN AND NsULAR FAIR

FOR SOUTHERN AND INSULAR FAIR.
Two international fairs in one year may seem
10 be a large programme for one nation, but it
is what the United States has undertaken to
execute. and will. there is reason TO expect, ex-
ecute with success The Pan-American EXposi-
ton, which is TO he opened at Buffalo next
spring, is already familiar to the public. and is
making admirable progress toward readiness.
Less well known in this part of the Union, but
no less worthy Of favorable attention, is the
Southern States and West Indian Exposition,
which is TO be held at Charleston, s. c.. and for
which there is now asked the recognition and
reasonable aid which il is customary for the
Government TO grant 70 such enterprises.
1t will be observed that there will be no rival
ry. but rather a certain cooperation between
the two The Buffalo fair will open on May
and close on November /. while that at Charles
ton will not open until December l. 1t Will
thus be easy TO transfer exhibits. if desired,
from Buffalo after the closing of the fair TO
Charleston before the opening of the fair Nor
will the one interfere with popular attendance
at the other AS for the objects to be promoted,
they are substantially identical, or at any rate
the one harmonious with and complementary
10 the other. AT Buffalo il is hoped TO unite
more closely in commercial and industrial ties
all the American nations. AT charleston the
special aim will be 10 strengthen the ties be-
tween the Southern States and the West Indies,
and to promote the welfare of both. 1t would
be difficult 10 exaggerate the importance OF
such objects.
The Federal Government has already given
all desired recognition and encouragement to
the Buffalo fair. and II is only reasonable and
just that it should similarly aid that at Charles
ton. There is now before the House of Repre-
sentatves al Washington a bill for that pur-
pose carrying an appropriation Of S250,000. II
ought to be passed. and passed promptly. In
deed If it is 10 be enacted AT all, it must be at
this session of Congress, for the Charleston fair
is 10 be opened before the next session begins
We trust that the bill viii speedily become a
law, and that year hence we may have the
pleasure of seeing a most successful exhibition
of industry and commerce at the metropolis or
the Palmetto State.

STANDING IN SLIPPERY PLACES.

The trouble to traffic caused on Tuesday by
the light fall of snow on asphalt paved streets
was no new thing. 1t has been seen many
times every year since smooth pavements were
widely adopted, and it has formed one of the
strongest arguments against the general use of
asphalt. Beyond doubt slippery pavements are
highly Objectionable. There is probably no
other creature that suffers so severely from a
fall or is so likely to be seriously injured by
it, as a horse, and it is therefore not only gross
cruelty, but also a risk of much pecuniary
loss, TO drive horse ON a street where its foot
hold is insecure. And at present an asphalt
pavement does give an insecure foothold when
ii is covered with ice or Stow or is simply wet.
That is, however, no reason for returning 10
the old stone pavementS which. indeed. were
sometimes even more slippery and dangerous
than asphalt. II is to be believed that there
are at present practical devices for assuring a
perfect foothold upon smooth pavements. In
Paris the asphalt when wet is sprinkled with
clean sand, which prevents slipping. In some
places the same is done whenever the streets
are slippery with ice. Elsewhere the asphalt
contains an admixture of grit which keeps its
surface always rough. Again, bricks have been
used for a pavement which is smooth, yet sell
dom or never slippery. Finally. there are meth
DDS of shoeing horses which. some experienced
horse owners are convinced, make them secure
upon even the most slippery surfaces
tits high time for these things to be practical
ly considered by the municipal authorities and
by all horss owners. We cannot go back to the
brutalitles of stone block pavements. But
neither can we tolerate the slipping, falling and
crippling Of horses and the blockading of traffic
on the streets. For these latter evils there is a
complete remedy. If it be found TO lie in i'm
proved construction or management Of the
streets, that is matter with which the city gov
ernment should concern itself promptly. If 1t
be found to lie in improved horseshoeing that
is a matter to which every owner of a horse
should promptly attend and If he does not do so
under the impulses of humanity and seif-in-
terest the compulsion of a municipal ordinance
should speedily be applied

SMALLER EXPORTS IN yoKrverp

Preliminary figures Of exports during Novano-
Der show the expected decrease compared with
the preceding record breaking month. The 8r-
ures OF domestic products have appeared and
aggregate only SS4,54s.652. against S1O5.s47 900
IN OCTOBER The difference was almost entirely
IN one Item, as shipments Of cotton fell 10 sal

month. This loss Of $1sS97 $50 made nm most
OF the decrease of $50. 100 927O for the month
notwithstanding the heavy difference connarad
with the October figures it appears that the
November total Of staple products exceeded
every month in the last two years, with the one
exception OF October. which exceeded any pre
Vious record by over S10.000,00O
The loss in cotton was not due 70 anv fan l..
