So.,
Eng Sue Fook, manager of the Arm of
Hop IlingJLung Co., of this city, re
turned yesterday from Hong Kong,
China, where he went on a visit last
spring.
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. C,

THE POLICE COURT.
Judge Anderson Will Not Stand for
. Hammermen and Read Lecture.
. "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.
