PUNIsHING CHINESE GRAFTERs

In Canton the beggers and the magistrates servants enjoy pre- scriptive right to exact some money from any shopkeeper who might open a new shop, especially a pawn brokers shop, as pawnbrokers there are regarded by the people as Chin csc Shylocks.
 Recently when a new pawnbrok- CT S shop named Flu Shans was open ed near the Ching Flung bridge. a vast number of these beggars and magistrates servants were there de- manding exorbitant sums from the pawnbrokers. As the pawnbrokers had paid their license fee to the gov ernment. they. of course. refused to pay the sum demanded and reported the matter to the police, who arrest ed twenty-one of them and brought them before the Nam Hoi magistrate for trial.
 Four of them were discharged, but two of them, who were the Nam Hoi magistrates braves, were sentenced to be beheaded. and the rest of them who were servants of the magistrate were sentenced to be put in stocks for three months in front of this pawnshop.

The Connecticut democrats have spoken for the election of United States senators by the people and are thus in line with several other states. It is said that an examination of the records at the congressional head quarters of the republican and demo- cratic parties indicates that nearly half of the states, in which the cleo tion of senators is an issue at this time. have adopted some plan for the practical election of the senators by the people. The question is being agitated in every state and in little while 1t is reasonably certain that senators will owe their seats either to the majority given them at party primary or at a regular state cleo tion and not to their ability to man. ipulate a legislature. During the past summer United States senators were nominated at primaries in elev-  en southern states: Alabama, Arkan- sis. Florida, Georgia. Kentucky. Lou isiana, Mississippi. South Carolina. Tennessee. Texas and Virginia. The legislatures of these states simply ratify the vote of the primaries. for. of course. no majority of a legisla- ture could be arrayed against the will of the people SO expressed. In many other than southern states this method of electing senators has been adopted. Only a few weeks ago a primary was held in Illinois to make choice of Senator Cullom's successor. Senator Cullom. himself, was given so overwhelming a majority that his reelection is beyond doubt. Conven- tions of both parties in Iowa and W isconsin have declared in favor of the primary plan of choosing senators. Tn Idaho. the legislature is bound by the action of the party conventions as 10 candidates. that candidate be- ing elected who represents the party in majority in the legislature. Seri- Ous objections have been raised to this plan on account of the machine methods employed.

Novel Way of Handling Iron.

X novel application of electricity in the handling of iron and steel is now in operation in Cleveland, Ohio. in the way of magnet.
 This form of magnet consists of large iron disk supported by chains which may be fastened to the hoop of a derrick ar crane block. To the top of the disk Is applied an electric plug device connected with insulated wires. which by an ingenious auxiliary pulley arrangement are lel to a con troller at some convenient point at the base of the derrick or in the op- erator's cab of the crane. The disk Is lowers,isover the material to he lifted and the current turned on. anl i'm this way enormous loads of mater ial may bc gathered together and held by the magnet as long as the current remains connected. Different forms of the disk are made for handling pig iron. heavy melting stock. such as crop ends. butts. steel. risers. small castings. tin scrap. whether loose ar in bales. shearing scrap. rod scrap. bolts. nuts. punches. rivet spikes. rail ends machine boring. flats. sheets and in fact almost any form of iron or steel which affords a surface sufficient ly large for the magnet to act upon. When the material has been carried to fhe place where it is to te deposited the current Is turnel ofT and the mag net at orce releases the load. Scrap tin has always been an ugiy form of material ta handle satisfactorily. but Iv the use of this device it may be disposed of as rapidly and as easily as heavier stock.

The British customs took 1875 samples of imported butter last year, the consignment coming from If countries, and the London commer- cial intelligence states it as remark able that, except for one doubtful" sample from the United States, Hol- land provided all the bad and doubt full shipments. All the adulterated consignmcnts, 71 in number, were of Dutch origin, and the commissioners expressed regret that the penalties imposed in the prosecutions which followed were on several occasions insignificant in. amount. even in cases in which the adulteration extended to large consignments of considerable value.

tistics as to the practice of the roads and the present state of the art gen. erally and the salient points as to the merits of the block signal, or space-interval principle for the run ming of railroad trains, and also as to what progress is being made in the introduction of Improvements. The whole information, when obtained and compiled, will be laid before congress. The joint resolution call- ing for this information, and mak- ing it the duty of the commission to secure it, was introduced by Repre- sentative James R. Mann of Illinois and is very broad in its terms, and the commission proposes to give a wide scope to the investigation. It Twill inquire into value of all meri- torious devices and will furnish the information needed to suitably pop ularize this branch of modern cleo trical and mechanical discoveries. Representative Mann, in advocating the adoption of his resolution, called attention to the many collisions and the harvest of death annually paid by the travelling public, and so inn pressed congress that his resolution was adopted without opposition. No doubt exists in. the minds of the peo- pie that radical measures are neces- sary to protect the lives of railroad passengers, and the commission en- ters upon its investigation in this spirit.

According to Matin. Paris news paper, Professor Behring is about to deliver to clinical surgeons his latest remedy against tuberculosis, which he calls "tulase." He recently communicated his discovery at Ham burg to an audience composed solely of members of the state institution The professor can not say that the new remedy has been sufficiently test ed to be put in the hands of ordinary practitioners, but clinical hospitals will receive it free of charge on de- mand.
