nese government of the value of the
silver bullion, amounting to $376, 900,
which was captured by the American
marines at Tien Tsin, forming part of
the revenues of the salt customs. This
money would have besn restored long
ago, and indeed, Secretary Long had
contemplated turning it over soon after
it fell into the possession of the marines
but in the disorganized state of the Chi
nese government there was no official
to whom it could be handed. Minister
WI has now been authorized by his
government to receive this money and
it will be given to him in the shape of
a draft on the treasury where the money
is deposited, which may be readily ex-
changed for bills on Shanghai

and protested against the proposed re-
duction of the duty on Cuban sugar.

the beet sugar industry should not bear
the brunt of this eountry's generosity.
They were willing that something
should be done but did not want their
industry destroyed.

died in Kansas City, Kas., recently, con-
structed the Missouri Pacific railroad
from Kansas City to Joplin. Jay Gould
furnished the eapitaA but Mr.. Brown
furnished the Inspiration, and to in
terest Gould in the project Brown had
to resort to a rtse.
The chief purpose of building the road
was to reach the then new coal fields OF
Rich Hill, in which Brown had an in
tereSt. Brown knew he had good thing
to sell. but he had no influence that
would get him into the presence OF
Gould. He was certain he could engage
Goulds attention if he could only get

of the coal and shipped them to New
York. Arriving at New York, he dis
played his specimens in hotel room
and one morning early he started out to
see Gould. His plan was to watch for
Gould to come to his office, and SO he
stood on the opposite side of the street.
Soon Gould arrived and in a moment
had disappeared up an elevator. Brown
followed quickly. When he arrived in
the outer office Gould had gone into his
private office a second before. Brown
put his samples on a chair, and, taking
off his overcoat. said to the porter:

such an impressive air of Importance
that the negro started to obey without
a moments hesitation. Brown, taking
his samples, followed close behind.

the imperious visitor in the mind of the
porter, who withdrew, closing the door
behind him.
Brown cleared his throat.
This attracted Gould's attention. and
he looked around and in surprise said:

was in the city Monday. He said that
for several days a couple of men have
been in his neighborhood capturing
jaekra bbits by means of a trap made OF
cotton netting. The netting looks some
thing like a seine; is about four feet
high and is supported at suitable dis
tances by stakes some four feet In
height. The net Is about two miles in
length, and the men who manipulate
it take it to a field or pasture and
stretch it around a parcel of ground so
rods square, or less. and then go insid !
on their horses and scare up the rab-
bits, which in their fright run against
the net and are easily captured. They
are taken alive and shipped back east
in this condition. Some are sold to
rabbit fanciers and museums and some
are killed and worked up into wiene-
wurst, potted chicken, mincemeat and
other delicacies and shipped back west
and sold at a high price to the aristo-
Gratis in Kansas and other western
states. These two men easily capture as
high as 500 in q week.-Kingmaii
