The leading citizen of Chinatown,
in Victoria, is Mr.. Lee Mong Kow
He acts as interpreter for the GUS
toms officials of the province and is a
man of wealth and refinement. His
children are dressed in the richest Of
silks and embroideries, and each has
his or her own maid. Mr.. Lee pays
intelligent white children to play
with his boys and girls in order that
they may become masters of the
English language. Lee Mong Kow
takes a rather pessimistic view of
the results of the Russo-Japanese
war.
Il fear for the territorial integrity
of China" said Lee. Russia was a
protection to us. The ear did not
want to absorb the Chinese empire:
he was content with a lease for his
railroad, a treaty port here and there.
and, in exchange, he gave us pro-
lection. So long as the bear stood
guard to the north the other nations
feared to trespass. So far could they
go, but they dared not go farther
Now the hear is dead. The Japanese

nese are not strong enough to with
stand them. l am sorry the sapanese

SHIPPING SEASON CLOSES.
About 100000 Tons of Ore Sent
from Lake Superior Region
During Past Season.

Negaunee, Mich.-The last cargo has
gone out from the docks at Escanaba, no
ore is moving from the Lake Superior
region and the season has come to q
close with a record of nearly 22,000. 900
tons, of which about 500, 900 tons were
forwarded by rail. The outgo Is only
about 2.250, 900 tons under last years
record. From the head Of the lakes 49,
1886, 143 tons were shipped, as against IA
455. 595 tons In 1908, the falling OF Of
1,069,452 tons being considerably lesa
than anticipated early in the esason.
From Marquette a total Of 1.907, 500
tons were forwarded this year, conn
pared with 2,007,34s tons in 1908. The
movement from Marquette does not rep.
resent the total shipments from the Mar
quette range, considerable of which ore
Is forwarded from Escanaba.
From the Gogebic range, with Ashland
as the shipping port, the seasons outgoi
was 2,2ss, 400 tons, Of which the North
western road handled 1856, $40 and the
Wisconsin Central $40 tons. The
falling OF this season compared with.
last year, when 2,823,119 tons were
shipped, is over 100000 tons. The
amount sent forward from the Gogebia
this year Is less than any year since 1897.
The aggregate shipments from the
head Of the lakes, Ashland and Mar
quette, are 1851, s43 tons. These ship
ments, with the ore sent out by rail, give
a total of about 20, 100000 tons for the

FINDS WATCH IN HAY BALE
California Farm Hand Pitchforks
His Timepiece Which He
Lost Last July.

Penn Grove, Cal.-Joseph A. Stone
a hay press hand, considers himself
the luckiest man in this secllon. While
baling with his press in July on the
Risk ranch on the Cotati grant he lost
a valuable watch which he was carry
ing in the fob pocket of his overalls.
He made a thorough search for the
missing timepiece, but, being unable
to find it, came to the conclusion that
it had fallen down one Of the many
large cracks which covered the adobe
field.
A few days ago while one Of the
Risk brothers hired men was feed.
ing the horses he ran one of the tines
of his fork through the ring Of the
watch, which was in the center Of a
bale Of hay. While feeding the press
the watch had fallen from Stones
pocket into the middle of the bale OF
hay. The watch was in just as good
condition as when lost, and when
wound up kept perfect time.

NINE DIE IN FIRE.
Entire Family, with One Exception
Burned to Death at Morris
Bun, Pa.

Elmira, N. T., Jan. 4.-Fire con-
stunned the home of Frank Noweski, a
Polish miner, in Morris Run, Pa, at
an early hour Tuesday and the entire
family Of ten, except the oldest son.
aged 18, was either burned to death
or smothered. Their charred bodies
lie in the ruins Of the house.
The Noweski's lived in log house
on the outskirts Of Morris Run. There
were no immediate neighbors. Monday
night the family retired as usual.
Soon after two o'clock Tuesday morn
Ing the Oldest son was awakened by
the smell Of smoke. The room in
which he was sleeping was on fire and
it was with the greatest difficulty that
he made his escape from the house. It
Is not known how the fire originated,
but 1t is thought that stove fell over
and the burning Goals set fire to the
house.
Noweski was employed by the Nor
ris Run Coal Mining company. With
his fellow miners he has been on q
strike since last April. Recently
smallpox broke out in Morris Run.
Noweski and his family were among
the sufferers from the disease, but
every member Of the family recovered
and the quarantine had just been
raised from their home.

SMALL BILLS ARE scARcER
Dwindling in Number Of One and Two
Dollar Certificates Owing to Elk
haustion Of Silver Bullion.

Washington.-The treasury depart
ment Is having a difficult time in filing
orders from national banks for one and
two-dollar bills. The volume Of free
currency Of these denominations has
been dwindling at very rapid rate dur
Ing the last four or five months, and is
now so small that 1t Is necessary to limit
the number that may be dolsd ont to the
banks.
The shortage Of money 10 charged by
Treasurer Roberts against the exhaus-
ton Of the silver bullion. As is gensr-
ally known, silver certificates Of small
denominations are issued against coined
silver dollars, the latter being stored
away in the treasury vaults e. guaran-
tee for the paper money. When COM
gress stopped the purchase Of silver bull
lion for this purpose there remained in
the possession Of the government trs-
mendous amount OF the uncodnsd metal.
This has been gradually used from
month to month since. but practically
the last bit Of 1t was coined in February
OF this year, when the mints turned out
$4,000 standard silver dollars. That was
the last time any addition was made to
the volume Of circulating currency in
the most popular form Of money-ths
one. and two-dollar bills.
At the beginning of every days busi-
ness Treasurer Roberts examines the re-
port Of the number of free silver dollars
on hand. He then tells the cashier how
many silver certificates may be shipped
during the day. and this limit is rigidly
adhered to. 1t frequently happens that
national banks will have their applica-
tons for addition notes cut in half.
Sometimes their demands are honored
