After by the Other NationaIities.

PEKING, Oct. ia money changer
with a few thousand dollars capital
could make a fortune here in the course
Of a few weeks, under present condi-
tons Coin and bank notes of all ma
tons float around and are generally &C.
cepted by everybody. The Mexican dol
lar, which is the coin of commerce in
China, generally goes in ordinary times
at the rate Of two for one American;
now, however, for an American So gold
piece one gets 10 Mexican dollars, while,
on the other hand, for an English SOW
-ereign, which is not worth as much as a
S. gold piece, you get ii. The reason
for this is that the sovereign is the best
liked coin and the japanese and Indian
soldiers are anxious for gold.
At the prize fund sale of loot, which
takes place daily at the British legation,
Colonel Scott, the presiding officer, takes
In coin and bills Of almost every civil
lied power and has a regular charge
based on the value of the Mexican dol
lars, of which coinage there is large
amount. The price of lump silver is
going down, partly because men with
large amounts endeavoring to leave had
their silver seized by the military pow
ers and a demand made as to other
powers.
A campaign like the present, where
troops of so many nations have met and
watched one another's peculiaritieS and
characteristics, the conduct of the
troops Of any one nation as a whole is
especially interesting to watch, and
America can proudly boast that the men
representing her in China have proved
themselves the equal, if not the supe-
rior, of any troops in China.
Conduct OF the Americans.
The unexampled conduct of the Amer
leans has given General Chaffee an in
fuence at the meetings of generals
which are held every other day ahead
of that Of any other general General
Chaffee's hard common sense, according
to other generals, has helped them solve
many a knotty problem, while he is per-
sonally popular both among the diplo-
mats and the generals, but it Is unques-
tionable that his influence has been
greatly increased by being the leader of
a body of men who have distinguished
themselves, not only in the face of the
enemy, but equally SO against the temp
tations that exist in city like Picking
under existing conditions
1t is also said among foreign officials
that the workings of the adjutant gen
erals office of the Americans are much
quicker and much more satisfactory
than that of any other nation. And
probably the best known and liked off,
GERS among foreign officials with the ex-
ception of General Chaffee, is his his
adjutant general, Captain Hutchinson
of the Sixth cavalry.
