The Tale of a Monkey—American Fishing Interests—Dr.[Crow- eli's Marriage, Ete. The Chinese in America. Mr. David Jones, a Chinese missionary, who has b ing in America for the past and a half, now in Omana. is en route toSan Francisco, whence he sails for the “Flowery King: dom'’ to resume his work among the ce- lestials. Mr. Jones has done missionar work among this class of people for the past ten years, and is thoroughly conver- sant with their pecaliarities and customs, He is, moreover, able to converse Huent n the Chinese language, which ac com p lishnent is sbaed by fow, any of his fellow missionaries. Mr. Jones was the founder of the system of Chinese Sunday schools, of which there are now hundreds in this country and one in this city. OF late he hus heen going throngh the country building them up and impart- ing valuable instruction to the teache who have undertaken the work of civiliz ing the heathen Chinee in this bles land of the free. A meporter for the Be had the privilege of an introduction to Mr Jones at the Buckingham Home yester day, and in o short interview with him gaimed many points of interost. I'here are now less than 300,000 China- men in America,” said Mr, Jones in an- swer to the revorter’s leading que “In fixing these tiguves, I donot balieve that I exaggerate. Most of these ar seattered thronghout the west, though, of course, there are e numbers of them in the castern One branch of my work has been the establishment of Sun- day schools in America for the bette ment of the condition of these Chinamen. So far, the results have been highly en couraging. ‘The schools have spread and prospered and the Chinamen have been elevated and better enabled to unde md our civilization and our Ch nity.” Wiat do you think about the future of the Clinese clement of our populition? “That s a somewhat dillicult question to answer. The Chinese race is so total diflerent from ours that it is almost im possible for the Monogolian element to become assimulated to the conditi which exist in this country. Gradu the number of Chinamen Anc is dropping off. Law G thing, their comi the other hand, leaving an in d i natural to this country. On those already heve ar ng to ledve for the old aving amassed sums of money from ‘hinese point of view ar rtunes. 1 think, trom what I have scen nd heard, that in a few years there will be no Chinamen to speak of in America.

So the contuct of the two proples, the Amarican and the Chinese while 1t has not been of nnmixed benetit to either, will profit China not a little, In answering another question the reporter, Mr. Jones continued, v few people have an idea of the e Chimese which have settled in America. The fact is the Chincse element in this country represents the eream of the pop- ulation in the old country, Th with very few exceptions, farme they came to this country, and belonge to the middle -not the slums as some_people imagine. Another thing, the Chinamen in American, one and all, come from one district in the old country —a district about sixty miles southwest of C; It is a fact that I ean stand on a peak of one of the lofty mountains there, and with the nak s see the homes of three-fourths of the Chinamen in_ America With the naked eye, mind _you; with a good ftelescope 1 could sce the homes of the other quarter. All these fellows that come to America come here with the mtention of earning some money and going back to China to settle down for ife. After a years sojourn lere, ns a rule, they go buck o ‘the old coiin y their bride and remain in China 0. ‘Then they return to ake more money. They do not bring their wives with them, for that is strictly prohibited by the laws of thei country. After remdining in Americs for several years longer, they 2o back to Chima for good, having amassed perhaps, an average of §00 each,” W do_you think restricting Chinese imm the next question fired at the reporter, *I belieye,” was the reply, “that on the whole they are Why? Well, I have seve ons. One of them is that the condition of the Chinese who come to this country is o far superior, morally speaking, to their surroundings in this western country—nund u—I say in the western cities—that the result has been largely one of demoralization of the Chinese element. The facts is thut the morauls of the Chinese in their native land are far purer than the morals of this western country, The degradation which exists among the Chinese western cities, as for instance San Fr. cisco and Sucramento, is due to the contamination of the lower classes of our population “The Chin . they are simply d tution, gambling Of course thesc ¢ forms ; bout tl WS ation?” wis r.

Then I turned my attention to the mon- key. He was following his mistress at a distance about five yards, and picking his in and out of the throng for all the world like one used to such things. I kept my eye closely on him. “Suddenly I noticed him make a sly s and snateh a lace handkerchief, concealing it in one the capacious pockets of his suit.

To cut a long story short, ‘the next day the monkey was turned out on the street, a loug string being attached to him, upon which I had a firm hold. He started off at a pace which indicated that his pedes- trian powers were not to be sncezed at, leading first down this street and then down that, until he eame to a little tum- ble-down tefement structure in alow quarter of the city.

Judge Dundy yesterday sentenced three prisoners who hud beer tried and found guilty in the civil federal court. There names were John B. Legnard, Meclvin Teitsort and 1. M. Swartwood. E3The most important was that of rd, whg was the “high mogul” in Wd entry frauds in the Valentine district, some two years ago. It will be membered that Legnard, who is a Ithy Chicago capitalist, was indicted together with Florence and a number of other men as accessories for proving up a la number of land cluims falsel The other cases were disposed of a y ago, with various light fines ands ofimprisonment. Lognard, the was tried at the Tast winte of the feaeral court and found guilt His motion tor a new trial was overrule and he was ordered before the court to- day for final sentence. Judge Dundy gave it to him in the shape of @ fine of $300 and costs. The jtem of costs in th instance will be no inconsiderable one, amounting probably to nearly $1,200 or $1,300. Legnard’s connsel fees must have been close upon $1,500, so that this little serape has already cost him something like $3,000. In addition to this, he paid Florence's tine, which amounted” to 300 more. The lands on which the Legn: ring tried to ‘‘prove up” falsely are still in the possession of the government, it is understood, as the final patents were not issuced when the exposures were made.

So far that is all right, but the Nova Scotians go further and say that our vessels shall mot land on their coast, except for wood, water or protection from storms. We are not even al to land on their shore for Why, the other day =a smuck landed on the Nova Scc fora couple of bags of potatocs was immediatel ized. On the other hand, the Canadian vessels are allowed to land on our coast and get whate they please, and every one of them | the impudence to flanunt the British flag in our very teeth What we ask is that the government shall simply set to work right tirese wrongs.
