night before, when you did not know
her from the side of sole leather?
To reach in your pocket for nickel

A FIGURE OF SPEECH.

A strange little boy who'd been to
school,
And was up to all sorts of tricks,
Discovered that nine, when upside
down,
Would pass for the figure six.
So when asked his age by kind old
dame,
The comical youngster said:
sim nine when stand on my feet like
this,
But six when l stand on my head. :"

Chinese Officials Are ResOrting
to Ali Kinds of Means to
Raise the Money.
SCHEME INVOLVING sIOO,OOO,OoO
Proposal to Impose Head Tax on All
Chinese Living in the Empire
or Foreign Countries.
This Plan, II Is Thought, Is Liable to
Result in Serious Disturbances
In Some of the Southern
Provinces.

Port Townsend, Wash, Dec. 2.-Ac-
cording to mail advices from the ORR
ent Chinese officials are resorting to
all kinds of means to raise money to
assist in paying the indemnity agreed
on by the powers. Besides a gigantic
scheme in which more than 100000
900 are involved. half of which will go
into the indemnity fund and half be
given away in prizes, and which
scheme has received the sanction of
the court, 1t is now proposed by Prince
Ching to impose head tax on all Chi
nese whether residing within the lin.
its of the empire or in foreign coun-
tries. Prince Ching's plan, as sub
mitted to the court, is to send COM
missioners to all foreign countries to
collect the tax from Chinese residents,
claiming that as they do not become
citizens of other countries they should
assist in paying the indemnity. Prince
Chings plan has created considerable
dissatisfaction in the southern pro-
vinces of the Chinese empire and Is
liable to result in serious distur-
Dances.
It is claimed that residents of the
northern provinces were alone respon-
sible for the Boxer movement and
that they should be called upon to
bear any expense caused by their &C.
tion. Chinese of the southern pro-
vinces were friends of the foreigners.
as most of the merchants in foreign
countries are from the southern pro-
vinces, the movement on foot to resist
the taxation for indemnity is rapidly
gaining ground, and 1t is said Chinese
abroad will refuse to pay the proposed
tax.
Prince Ching, according to Chinese
papers, says that II they are further
burdened, 1t will fall on their rela-
tives in the southern provinces and
that other oppressive measures will be
enforced against them, and that mer-
chants abroad who refused to pay the
proposed tax will not be allowed to
return to their mother country and
will be classified as traitors.

Stone and Nine. Tsilka are still alive.
The letter in question further says
that at a recent meeting Of the COM
mittee, held in Dubnitza. 1t was def
nitely decided not to kill the prisoners
under any pretext whatever. Never.
theless the committee insisted upon
the payment of the full amount Of the
ransom.
A naive suggestion is current in po
litical circles here to the effect that
the United States should force Tur.
key to pay the balance of the ransom
and as soon as the prisoners are in
safety, force Bulgaria to punish those
persons guilty of their abduction.

Cuban people will not. under any cir

on those products levied by the Span.
