Mr. Eng, when seen by a reporter of the Astorian lat night, spoke uite ex tensiveiy! on hi iper4ena' while abroad. ; . , "I had a very pleasant trip ," said he, "and I feel amply repaid for the time ana money aevotea 10 u. Thl wa my llrst trip aDroaa, a you know, I am a native-born American, and I only took the trip in order to learn nomething of the country of my father, and -to look after some business matter for mj) flro. ,-.v' -rJ-, "We sailed from Seattle on the steam er Empres of India and the trip con sumed 18 day, stopped at Yokohama and Shanghai and finally landing , at Hong Kong. "I spent nearly two month in ana around Hong Kong, and some queer and interesting things I saw. On .thing I wa Impressed witb, wa tne almost entire absence of horse in that great city. When one wishes to have any baggage transferred or hauling of any kind done, he calls the transfer man who, with his, helper, shoulder the j article and carries it to it destination. if the load is too heavy for two, then they use four men, two in front and two in the rear wrth a pole across their shoulders with the load uspended in the center. Tour men in this manner will carryt a load of 1000 pound. The street are all paved, very level and smooth, In tome place being paved with cement, but mostly with cobble ntonc. The buildings are nearly all built of brick and while formerly they were mostly one story in height they are now being built four and five stories. A business block, ayv 100 by 200 feet, rent for f 150 for each floor. "There are quite a number or English and Americans in Hong Kong. - They at mostly engaged in wholesale busi ness, dealing in lumber, coal, iron, cop per, etc, and imported canned goods, rubber goods, etc. The American and English drug store do a big business, a large percentage of it being the (ale of Florida, water and scented soaps. A man will go into the city from some outlying town and carry home 15 or 20 bottle of Florida wate, and a whole armful of toilet soap. It seem to be a universal practice, almost a much a the amoking of opium, which, by the way, ha under gone a great change during the post few years. Under a new law all Chinese under 50 year of age are pro hibited from using opium, a change only brought about by the strenuous woTk of the Chinese Empire Reform Associa tion. "Another change wrought by this same source is the abolishment of the queue. The children' and young men do not wear the 'pig-tail anymore. "The climate in that part of China is almost the same as in our southern states. Everyone wear white duck suits .and 'two-piece' suits at that. The large straw hats you have seen in pic tures of Chinese, are only worn by busi ness men, and by 'loafers.' The majority of workers wcar straw hats similar to those worn here in our own country. "There are electric car lines and light ing plants, railroads, etc., all manned and operated i by natives. There are practically no telephones though the telegraph is well represented. "There are plenty of newspapers and, bi the wo,n I want to say, I appre ciated my Morning Astorian, though it (jame lu bunches of 12 and 13, and I read every one of them, while I was gone, and knew just how Astoria was progressing. Whenever I would pick up the Astorian it seemed like I was right back at home again, ' "I left Hong Kong after a couple of months and visited in and around Can ton. They are building a railroad, from Canton to Pekin, a distance of some 2000 mile. It is completed for about One half the distance and will probably be entirely finished within a year, There are about 6000 men on the construction work. ,..". "It waa while I was visiting "in Can ton that the San Luoy. Theater fire oc curred, which I wrote you about and you published In the Astorian. With hundred of other sightseers I went down to San Luoy, a distance of about 40 mile from Canton and viewed the wmeek of the building. It was a ter rible sight. Over 600 people were killed in the catastrophe, mostly by the ex plosion of a quantity of , gun powder which was Btored in the building adjoin ing the theater, N "After about two months spent in and about Canton I returned to Hong Kong and took passage on' the steamer Empress of China there on September 26 for home. "There were four other Chiese who came first-class besides myself, and there were 600 or 700 Chinese and Japs in the steerage. - "We landed at Vancouver, B.

"You are charged with .roaming the streets late at night; what U your plea, guilty or not guilty!" With all the dig nity due the, exalted position which he holds,". City Attorney Abercombre ut tered these words, opening the session of the police court yesterday. "Your honor," said James Johnson, the accused man, "I wa out late but I was looking for a job. I might correct the gentleman, who holds that paper In his speaking, out late. It was 2 o'clock band, and myself. , I wo not, strictly thl morning when I was pinched." "Looking for a job at 2 a. m.l Well, that' an early hour for such thing. We bav all heard about the early worm, but that is eurelyt too early for the earliest worm written about. Wbat is your vocation?" answered Judge Aider son. "I am a hammerman, and I am con' sldered the best in the camp," answered Johnson. Judge Anderson, whose heart is with the' advancement of Astoria, .frowned heavily, thought for a moment and in a voice that could be beard throughout the eity hall said; "JCr. Johnson, Astoria has no use for hammermen.' Of course, the Hour ' you name 1 a good one to look for uch a job. , No one would do so at an bnest hour. We have got beyond the time of knocking in this city, and although we have a few left who follow this prac tice, I wish to state that if brought be fore me I will give them the limit. Now, I would advise you to take your hammer to some quarry and get in and drill; that's where your hammer will do some good. I will send you below for two day and keep you; supplied with the morning paper which will show you that you are not needed here. What case comes nextf " Two drunk pleaded guilty and receiv ed the regular dose and Judge Anderson could not be interviewed for the balance of the day. 08 8tt 888888888 8880 8 8 0 PERSONAL MENTION 0 8 8 088888888888888880 W.
