powers have agreed to reduce the
Chinese indemnity by the sum of ten
millions of dollars. 1t is stated that
this was decided at meeting held
yesterday in Paris. which was attended
by the Ambassadors of the various
nations interested.
The movement to reduce the indem-
nifty originated sometime since in the
United States, and was met with strong
objection from the start. Diplomatic
relations have been pending respecting
this subject for sometime, and yester:
days meeting was held in response to
a general understanding that all the
powers would consent to the reduction

Special CabIegram to Boletin Mercantil.

New York, June I2th.-Advices re-
ceived from London state that the
British police at Liverpool have just
arrested Col. Arthur Lynch. the pro
Boer, Irish leader. who fought against
the British government in South Africa
and who was after wards nominated for
a seat in parliament The English all
thorities threatened Lynch with arrest
if ever he put foot upon British soil
For while it looked as if there would
be considerable trouble in Ireland over
the matter, but Lynch was finally pre-
vailed upon to remain at home. His
arrival in England was unexpected and
rather surprising, but his arrest follow
ed within an hour after he stepped of
the steamer. He will probably be held
on charge of treason.

More From Niagara.

1t has been decided to build a large
power plant on the Canadian side of
Niagara Falls, which when comp. .eted
will enable the operators to furnish
100000 horse power. A few years ago
the idea of using Niagara's power
would have seemed ridiculous, but TIE
progress of invention during the past
century has now made it possible.
There has also been wonderful pro-
gress made in medicine during that
time, the most noticeable being the
introduction of Hostetter's Stomach
Bitters about fifty years ago. This
family medicine is for everybody, but
more especially for those who are weak
and sickly. 1t will strengthen the
stomach and nerves and cure indiges-
tion, dyspepsia, insomnia. constipa
tion and malaria. fever and ague. Try
1t and see for yourself.

THEIR UNIQUE HABITATIONS
Winnemucca Chinatown is Place OF Interest
To Artist and Tourist Some of its
Characteristics

Winnemucca has Chinatown that
appeals primarily to the nostril and
secondarily to the eye. But the ar
tistically inclined visitor to the street
where abide the immigrants from
cathay Immediately loses sight, or
rather smell, of the odd odors Of Ce-
lestial cuisine and sanitation In the
quaintness of the view.
The tenements of our Mongolian
brethren are characteristic of those
found in every Western town such as
in lack of paint and dearth of orna-
mentation save for brilliant scarlet
posters .emblazoned with vertical"
penmanship, but not such as Is taught
in our schools.
But Winnemucca Chinatown has
at least one distinguishing trademark.
The novels are situated upon an
abrupt slope, where excavation is easy.
This the wise builders took advantage
of and dugouts resembling entrances TO
tunnels are Of more frequent occur
renee than dwellings elevated above
the ground.
Even when tney did build up in the
air the Celestials preferred adobe mud
to Oregon pine for construction pur-
poses. The artistic enect of that dis
trict of town is exceedingly good and
should inspire local daubers and cam
era fends.
The Cinnamon were shrewd in using
mother earth instead OF lumber for
the floors, walls and often the roofs
of their dwellings,, because Winnie
mueca is situated in treeless as wei
as cold regions little fire, even a
small charcoal brazier suffices to keep
the temperature Of Johns domieile at
comfortable elevation, no matter
what pranks Old Boreas and Jack
Frost may be playing outside, or, let
us say, top side.
There is now bat one structure in
little Mongolia that is modern and civ
ilized in every sense of the word.
Painters. paper hangers and carpent-
ers are rushing the final details OF
the building in order to have it ready
for the dedication which is advertised
to take place Saturday evening.
John Schmidt and l.. II. Babcock are
the contractors. They have built
fire proof prick building 72 by 20 feet,
the interior of which Is handsomely
finished. The cost will be between
81, 500 and $4,000.
This building will be known as tne
Temple of Worship and will be used
as a fraternity hall for the Chinese
rec Masons, an organization said to
lie 1900 years old.
:. here are over 100 of these "F'r
Masons' in Winnemucca and vicinity.
The big doings Saturday night will
be attended by Chinese from all over
the State.
Roast pig and other delicacies wi
be served all night and a Chinese band
will make night melodious.
