.BHUTAN TREATY BLOCKS
TROUBLE WITH TIBET
British Diplomatic Stroke InsureS
Peace Among States in
HimaIayas

CALCUTTA, May 21.-There can be
little doubt, says the Pioneer. that the
treaty recently concluded with Bhu-
tan will go far toward preventing
complications in years to come on the
northeast frontier of India. The po-
Sition now is that the Maharaja Sir
Ugyen Wangchuk has not only had
his subsidy doubled but that he has
also formally agreed to accept the ad
vice and guidance Of the British gov
eminent in regard to his relations
with. outside states. AS Bhutan is
bounded on the north by Tibet it is
obvious that troublesome questions
in that direction. Lhassa is dominated
whatever solution may be found of
the difficulty created by the flights of
the Dalai Lama it is most undesir-
able that any pressure should be put
upon Bhutan by the Peking govern
ment. Tibetans and Bhutanese have
no cause of quarrel and they have
usually maintained friendly relations;
but if Chinese officials with military
escorts were to be placed along the
border there would inevitably be fric-
tion.
Too much Importance need not be
attached to the intrigues which were
begun last year by the Amban Lien,
who believed that he could make Chin
ese influence supreme in Bhutan; but,
at the same time, action of this kind
cannot be altogether disregarded 1t
is sign that if Tibet is reduced to
the status of an ordinary province of
China, the Pekina government will re-

NEGRESS CREATES FUR0RE
IN PARIS AS CHAUFFEUR
Rita Yape Sounkouron Native of
Senegal Drives Car

WASHINGTON, May 21.-A corTe-
spondent writes from Paris that 1.-The
first colored 'chauffeuse has appeared
on the streets of Paris" Three years
ago another step toward woman's in
dependence was taken when a French
woman mounted the box of the popu-
lar one horse cab. According to
French parlance, she is called the
femme cochere' Modestly uni
formed in a small sailor hat and loose
coat this woman coachman for the
first few months was the Cynosure of
all eyes, and a daily target for the
small boy and the opposition coach
man. both of whom assailed her with
wordy arrows some of which were
stepped in sarcasm or abuse.
"At the time, however, the predic-
tions were general that this new fad,
as many called it, would soon die out.
Little by little the ranks of the Wom-
an cab drivers We're extended. The
femme cocheEe now has at her side
the licensed -chauffeuse.' For some
time a number of women with chic
uniforms have been in charge of pub
lie automobiles. The young colored
'chauffeuse' who has proved herself
capable of managing a taxicab is Rita
Yape SounkouTon. She was born in
ST. Louis, Sene gal. From the African
point of view she is great beauty

TRUNK MYSTERY SOLVED
AT TRANSFER co. OFFICE

LONG BEACH, May 21.-After the
police had worked for some time at
tempting to solve a trunk mystery,
namely, the supposed disappearance
while en- route from Brooklyn, N. Y, of
a trunk valued at $500 and belonging
to Mrs. James Connor, it has been
learned that the trunk is in the hands
of the Brooklyn transfer company
which had contracted to ship the fam
ily's goods. The rest of the goods were
received in due time.
Having espied woman on the beach
recently wearing a dress exactly similar
in appearance to one in the missing
trunk Mrs. Connor gave the police an
incorrect clew which they followed un-
til convinced that the dress seen here
was not stolen property.

The Southern California Edison
company has purchased a location
on the inner harbor and work has
already been begun in the construc-
tion Of the gigantic steam-e electric
enterprise that will mean the ex-
penditure of $2,OO0,000 within the
next two years. This will be the
first unit. The company has addi-
tional plans that will increase the
size Of the plant until a total of So
00G 900 will nave been expended.
In and around the city a great
deal of building activity is very
much in evidence. A recent canvass
of the city, street by street, by the
Press shows that 1898, $50 is now
being expended along this line, and
this includes only the buildings
under construction. under way be-
tween the foundation and the finish,
so to speak.
In a review of conditions a re-
markable growth is shown. Last
year the Press found houses and en-
terprises being built amounting to

an open port to the commerce of the
world free from annoying and eX-
cessive tolls. All this work is being
done without government aid. This
one fact should convince the most
skeptical of the courage of the pro-
Sressive citizens of Long Beach.
The Bascule bridge at the entrance
of the harbOr is one of the largest
in the world. Its length is 234 feet
and has a span of 180 feet. The
Craig shipbuiIding plant and the
Long Beach salt works are already
located on the harbor. At the former
are two large steel steamships under
construction, costing $400, 900. The
activity in and about the Craig
shipyards is great TO see, and very
impressive is this tremendous noise
of hammering and rattllng which
will result in big ships with a capac-
ity of carrying 100000 feet of lum-
ber as well as passengers up and
down the coast. The salt works is
very interesting industry, too.

and only a few months ago the city
of Long Beach took a very pro
