LIKE MEXICAN MAN
Chinese Builders Object to Being
Sent Back.

ST. LOUIS. Sept. 19.-The Chinese az
tisans which the Chinese commission ar
TO the worlds Fair brought to build the
Chinese buildings have gone on strike
because he said he would have to send
them to their native country again, as
he had no further use for them.
Fearing that they would create de-
struction to the property or the house
in which they lived. Mr.. Wong made a
request to the police department for as
sistance in holding the fractions China
men in check
Mr. Wong and his suite came to st.
Louis several weeks ago direct from the
Flowery Kingdom. They became accus-
toned to St Louis and liked it much
better than their own country. Besides.
they had talked with a great many OF
their native countrymen who are in the
''washee washee" business in the city,
and had heard glowing accounts of how
much easier money was made here than
in the land of Confucius and their an
cestors.
They became imbued with an over
whelming desire TO remain in this coun-
try and make their fortunes, and when
Wong notified them of their discharge
they at first refused TO quit work II
was only after the police had been
called upon that they were persuaded tc
finish their work and then go back to
their native land.

Mr.. Smith. whose death occurred at the

years in which Mr. Smith took a promi-
nent part were the knights of Labor

changed this year. Instead of having
the engineers ride only on their di-

make the entire trip from Pittsburg to

position TO judge of the condition of
the track on the entire system.

Wabash Rumors.

Local railroad men in discussing the
plans of the Old Dominion. expressed
the belief that one reason why the Of
ficers of the company had decided to go
ahead with the work was because they
had learned finally that the Goulds
would not take the right of way for a
line TO Newport News. where they have
bought a lot of, land for railroad termi-
nails, without having any lines reaching
the port. 1t was rumored not long ago
that negotiations were on between the
officers of the company and the Goulds,
and these rumors have not been denied
by the officers. Ii is said the Goulds
we're inclined TO favor the route. but
the story is now that they have decided
on some other line down from West Vir-
ginia and by the way of Fredericksburg
to Washington, with tracks for freight
running from Fredericksburg to Newport
News.
