CHINESE IN AMERICA,
not Many of Them Are Wealthy but
There Are Some who Have Con-
siderabIe Means.

AT the best Chinese restaurants in
San Francisco, New York, Chicago
aud other large cities, the best of
wines are served to Chinese as well
as American customers, together with
the finest and most expensive foods.
In the average Chinese restaurant in
those cities good board can be had
by the Chinese for from SIS to $40 a
month, and these restaurants are
largely patronized. As a rule, the
Cinnamon are compelled to lodge in
mean quarters; but in New York and
San Francisco there are a number of
well-appointed homes, occupied by the
families of wel-to-do Chinese mer-
chants, which the American seldom or
never sees. In New York there is an
apartment house, up-to-date in every
respect, occupied by Chinese families.
The Chinaman sticks as closely as he
can to the traditions and customs of
his country, which are strange to the
Occidental, and therefore a subject
for. comment, and OTTER for derision
says the Forum.
lnefe are not many rich Cinnamon
In America, but some of them are
very well off, with fortunes ranging
from $100,0 600 to $500, 900. There is one
multi-millionaire, Chin Tan Sun. who
is the richest Chinaman in the conn
try. Chin Tan Sun owns whole towns
and employs hundreds of white men
and women in his factories and can-
neries. He owns ranches, city real
estate, gold mines and diamonds. he
runs lottery games; he imports la

MILLIONS IN OUR MULES.
In Ia United States for AMI
mails for South Africa.

The exporting of American mules
and horses from the port of New Or
leans to South Africa for the British
army has grown to a business that is
enormous.
1t has left millions of British gold
In this country, and many times in
settling up the banking accounts OF
the two great countries the American
mule has cast the balance in our favor,
states the New Orleans Picayune.
The traffic began 2H years ago. The
first cargo left this port October 1, 1899.
From October /, 1899, to November
30, 1901, the British army agents have
purchased 143, 1850 head Of stock in the
United States and have left the round
sum of $14,476, 270 in exchange for them
and their feed while in transit.
The following interesting figures
were taken from the ships manifests
as entered at the New Orleans Gus
tom house, and are official:

1t required 1876 great ocean steam
ships to carry the stock recorded
above. That was to November 80. Five
transports have sailed since then DUR
Ing December, each of which has car
ried a fraction over / 1000 head of stock.
For these 5000 head the British have
paid not less than $780,
Nor do these figures, as large as
they are, give a full and complete idea
OF the enormous expenditure of British
money in this American mule business.
On the basis of 500, 600 per transport
the department has expended not less
than another $14, 1000, 900 for the bare
chartering of the ships to carry this
immense trade, there having been 14O
ships sailed. English ship owners
have made fortunes.
About 100, 900 American bows have
found employment in the mule trans
porting. They have come to this port
from every direction. Some who want
ed to get out of the country have
adopted this means of leaving quietly,
unknown, and getting pay for it at
the same time. 1t has afforded a COM
Portable exit in many eases for alb
sconders, cashiers not to mention
others.
Fitting the ships for the service is
another large item. Every vessel must
be pa%rtitioned and cut up into stalls.
1t has required millions and millions
of feet of pine lumber, most of which
has been cut in the south and pur-
chased of southern mills.
The fittings of a British transport
cost from SIC, 900 to $50, 900.
Then there is the coaling. Each one
carries in her bunkers not less than
5000 or 5000 tons. That is easily fig
ured, and leaves other millions in this

The Annual Report Of the General
Tells Of Progress Made In the
Philippine Islands.

Washington, Nov. 15.-The annual
report of Maj. Gen. Adna r. Chaffee,
just made public, closes September
80, the date when he relinquished
his command of the division of the
Philippines. The report covers the
campaign Of Gen. j. H. Smith in
Samar, and discusses the actions Of
various officers and the work Of the
army in suppression of recent in
surrections. Gen. Chaffee warmly
defends the officers and assumes full
responsibility for all that was done
under official orders. He says force
has been used only to the degree
necessary to make it understood
plainly that persons entitled, to pro-
lection cannot be murdered and that
the authority of the United States
cannot be questioned.
+ Gen. Chaffee says that at the time
of writing his report the army was
on q peace status. Troops are be-
ing withdrawn from all participation
in civil affairs as rapidly as civil
organizations can be erected. This
has been completed in all except
Batangas and Samar, where it is ex-
pected to be accomplished by the
end of the year.

Washington, Nov. 14.-Secretary
Hay has informed the navy depart
ment that conditions on the isthmus
of Panama have assumed SO favor
able phase that he no longer has
any suggestions to offer as to further
disposition Of the American sailors
and marines who have been doing
guard duty at the terminals and on
the railway line itself for many weeks
past. This does not mean that the
secretary directed the withdrawal Of
the sailors and marines, but simply
that he was willing that they might
be disposed of in accordance with
the present needs of the navy. It
il not doubted, however, that the re-
suit will soon be the withdrawal Of
the American forces aboard their
warships, the Wisconsin on the PAN

The latest word on electricity is to
the effect that it is a material sub.
stance. Its unit, the electron, forms
an infinitesiInal part Of the atom of
any element, and when split OF it pro-
duces a stress in the ether similar to
that due to negatively, electrified
body. The severing Of the electron
from its atom is the generation of
electricity. The remainder of the atom
acts as a positively charged body, but
It Is not certainly known whether the
positive electron really exists.
