THE MINISTER'S SAFE.
Ingenious Idea for Positive Proof of

A correspondent signing Oriental"

the fact that every vestige of the Brit
ish legation in Picking has been des
troyed, and every European and AM
erican murdered, how it will be posi-
BILE for the world to learn from abb
solutely reliable sources the most i'm
portant details of the terrible tragedy,
and just how far the Chinese govern
ment troops co-Operated in assisting
the unfortunate legations.
Undoubtedly the British legation was
supplied with a safe, and it is only ra-
tional to believe that the sturdy band,
looking death continually in the face,
kept a diary of events. When the ruins
are cleared away the safe will be found
to contain valuable documentary evil
dence. This is a strong reason for
sending post haste sufficient force to

OBSERVATION-DISCLOSURES
HONG KONG SAID TO REFUSE
AMERICAN DRAFTS.
Sensational Report which Scared Chi
nese in New York-No indication here
of Such Action.

NEW YORK, July 27.-Chinatown
here suffered a financial fright We'd
nesday, and the express companies and
bankers doing business in the district
had their hands full setting things to
rights. Some one started the story that
the Hong Kong banks would cash no
more drafts from America until the pre-
sent trouble was settled. The big mer-
chants heard of it and were much
alarmed. The Chinese of New York
city send large sums of money back
to China. Many of the merchants buy
their goods direct. The better class Of
Chinese are also making investments in
their native land. The laundrymen and
poorer classes send a good deal of
money to their poor relatives. Drafts
on Hong Kong are used almost entirely
and if payment on these drafts is to be
stopped, the Chinese wanted to know it..
The man who started the story said he
had received a cable message to that
effect from Hong Kong. Many Of the
bankers and express companies had
men out yesterday looking for this ca
bile message. 1t could not be found, and
they did not hesitate to assure their
Chinese patrons that drafts on Hong
Kong We're still as good as gold.

This scare does not appear to have
spread to other mainland cities. 1t GER
tainly has not made it's appearance in
Honolulu. All of the LEGAL banks were
asked regarding the matte" and without
exception the officials SAD that there
had been not the slightest Indication of
any such trouble. In fact they express
ed the opinion that such a condition was
not likely to arise.
1--WE would certainly have been adj
vised of it by our correspondents on the
Mainland" said w. G.. Cooper cashier
of the First American Bank of Hawaii.
Another thing which is to be taken
into consideration is the fact that there
is little If any reason for there being
any such action taken by the Hong
Kong institutions. The two concerns
with which most of the business is
transacted are the Hong Kong-Shang-
hal Banking Corporation and the Chart
cred India, Australia and China Bank.
Both of these institutions do an enor-
nous business and both are powerful
banking houses. The first named has a
capital of $10000,000 and a reserve fund
of nearly twice this amount while the
Chartered Bank has a capital of $4,000
600 with a reserve fund almost as great.
In addition, most of the American bank
ing houses carry a credit balance with
these institutions so there is absolutely
no reason for their refusing to cash the
drafts since there is money on hand
with which to meet them. Exchange
has gone up about one point since the
outbreak of hostilities in China but I
do not anticipate any further trouble
for the present

Kong banking concerns.
when it was first thought" he said
that Shanghai was threatened by mill
tary operations the exchange went up
five points but that for Hong Kong re-
manned about the same. Practically all
of the money sent from here to China
goes through the Hong Kong institu-
tons"

it is said, are constantly doing the

But whatever other nations do,
France, Mr.. Leroy-Beaulieu argues,

PEOPLE FORGET
and Leave Money In Safe Deposit Boxe

the other evening, 1T is by no means
an unheard-of thing for people to put
money and valuables in safe deposit
boxes and then forget all about them.
A remarkable case of that kind hap

years ago. An old planter, who car

or four years later the planter had a
series OF misfortunes that wiped out
most Of his property, and he was
terribly pressed fer money. One
morning he was in the bank. feeling
very much detected, when some
thing reminded the cashier or

proceeded to strip off the wrapper. 1t

He had received them as a balance on
an old account, and the whole affair
had simply passed out of his memory.
He was in full possession of his fac
nltfes, but bigger transactions had
crowded that one to the background in

handy at that particular time, and he
was overjoyed at the discovery. OF

Strange Law Which Was In Force In
England In 1900.
There will be an interesting function
In London shortly, when the coal ex-
change celebrates its jubilee. The ocea-
sion is one for recalling strange remi-
absences; for as late as the four
teenth century prohibition was issued
against the burning of coal, with Sc
we're penalties decreed against any per-
sen who warmed his house by coal
fire. In the early days of Lord Mayor
Wilmington the burning of coal was
considered so great a public nuisance
that 1t was made a capital offense, and
one man was actually hanged for In
dulging in a coal fire. AS a matter of
fact, this ordinance was never re-
pealed, but in Dick Wilmington q"
third mayoralty 1t is evident there was
great trade in coal, and the sugges
ton has been made that coal was
brought to London in boats known as
the cats" this was the real origin of
the story of Dick Wilmington and his
cat. The coal exchange, however, is a
modern institution. 1t is also one of
the most important Of Londou's marts.

No Detective of the secret-service Bu.

reau DISCUSSES himself.
No such things as DISCUSSES are
used by men Of the secret-service bu-
reau," said Chief Wilkie of that or
ganization to Washington Star man.
THE boy who reads the 10-cent lit
erature describing the many lightning
changes and DISCUSSES made by alleged
sleuths of the government and other
services imagines these stories to be
true, and the impressions he receives
remain with him for long time. AS
a matter of fact, no detective is
known, and | do not know of such
a thing as a disguise for a seeret-serV-
ice case ever worked by an operator of
the bureau in which false faces or
other articles of this kind have ever
been used. l do not know of a reput-
able detective in any city or state who
uses DISCUSSES. They are not effective,
aad the best-informed men in the run
ming down of criminals believe that
they do harm and quickly expose the
man who IS attempting to operate
case. The men of the secret-seryice OF
the government frequently clothe
themselves to suit the vicinity and the
people among whom they are at work.
For instance, If man is at work in
an agricultural vicinity and among
people who would suspect the attire
of well-dressed person, he does not
wear the best clothes or linen which
has been finished by Chinaman or
steam laundry. His attire is in keep
ing with his situation and cireum-
stances. He may let his beard grow
long and become careless in keeping
his clothes busted. If he is at work in
city among Italians, for instance, he
deports himself in such a way as to
keep from advertising himself as a
detective of the government. If he did
not he would be unable to acquire in
formation from the class of people who
were perpetrating the violations OF the
laws of the United States Everything
depends on the necessities Of the case,
but under no circumstances would we
permit an operator of the bureau to
bother with such cheap articles as
wigs, false faces, mustaehes and the
like"
