John Russell Young, ex-minister to China, in an j interview yesterday said: The iru- t migration question is uot understood . iu America. Immigration from China j comes from one point alone. Canton i is a city of a million people, the cen ter of a vast province. The most southern port in China, within seven hours of Canton, by river, is Hong Kong. Hong Kong is a British set tlement, as much under tho British ilag as is Cork or Liverpool. All Irafiic iu the way of emigration to America comes from Hong Kong, mainly Ihnmgh English houses. There is no stipulation or treaty, and there cau be none to justify us in asking the Chinese to prevent China men from going from Canton to noug Kong. Once there they are free from Chinese influence. If the American government wishes to reach the immigration question it will have to go to Lord Salisbury, and ask him to so instruct his gov ernment in Hong Kong so there may be no emigration. The British gov ernor general at Hong Kong, whom I know very well, and whoso guest I liavo been", said he was perfectly will ing, if tho American government wished it, to stop emigration. There is nothing on record to show that China has ever endeavored to evade the treaty. On the contrary she has enforced it, even more stringently than any request of ours calls for. The Chinese do not care for emigra tion. They would slop tho whole thing to-morrow. They do not, of course, like the idea of other nation alities being accepted in America and they being excluded, but that is a question of pride on their part." Poor 3Icns Wives Love Them Itcst. No wonian will love a man belter for being renowned or prominent. Though ho be first among men, she will ba prouder not fouder; as is of ten the case, she will not even be proud. But givo her love, appreci ation, kindness, and there is no sac rifice she would not make for his con tent and comfort The man who loves her well is her hero and king. No less a hero to her though he is not to any other; no less a king though his only kingdom is her heart and home. It is a man's own fault if he is unhap py with his wife in nine cases out of ten. It is a very exceptional woman who will not be all she can to an at tentive husbaud, and a very excep lional one who will not bo very dis agreeable if she finds hereself will fully neglected. Alabuma Jiaptist. Boston, Aug 27. The Boston cily government decided on the day of Grants death lo have a formal mem orial service, and a committee was designated to select a eulogist for the occasion. The commitlee first spoke lo General Sherman, who replied that the man was not living who could properly perform the task. Tho committee seems to have thought of but two olhcrs, Koscoo Conkling and Beecher. Whether Conkling was asked and declined is not known. It is given out' to-night that Beecher has accepted. In township 15 north, rango S west, in Washington territory, sumo very valuable oulcroppings of both gold and .silver-bearing quartz have been discovered, and those who have seen specimens from there express the belief that some day this region wilt spring into note as a mining district with an output second to none iu the country. The location of these newly-discovered veins jffe in what is known as Bottom hollow, in the foot hills of the Cascade range, about forty miles east of Chehalis. This section is all unsurveyed. The dis coveries were made by TJ. S. Deputy Surveyor Berry of Chehalis. A lake twelve miles long and six wide, supposed to be the source of the Cedar and Snoqualmie rivers has been discovered in the Cascade mountains, to tho north. Tho waters abound in fish; the beaver makes it a home, and mountain sheep nnd other gamo are numerous in the vicinity. Messrs. Hill and Imloch, of Tacoma, are said to be the only white men who have visited tho lake. An Indian trail was found leading lo it, but from appearances had not been used for many years. Its eleva tion is 14,509 feet " Saratoga, Aug. 28. The latest sen sation in political rumors here, and one that engages the attention of al most all visiting statesmen, is that Postmaster G. H. Pearson of New York is about to be promoted to a place in President Cleveland's cabi net, vice Col. W. F. Yilas, who is to bo sent to Austria as minister.

Sax Fbakcisco, Aug. 27. Wm, M. Hoag, general manager of the Ore gon Pacific road, and also manager of tho Oregon Development company, is in this city getting a crew for" tho steamship Yaquina. She is now ly iug in Yatiuiua, and will mako regu lar trips from San Francisco to the initial point of the road. This new line will bring tho merchants of San Francisco in close and cheap connec tion with thoheart of that vast and fer tile region of country known as the Willamette valloy. The navigable waters of the Willamette will bring to Corvallis vast quantities of cereals and stock. It is tho intention of the managers of the road to bring freight direct to San Francisco. A fast steamship can mako the run from San Francisco to Yaquina in thirty two hours. The bar. at Yaquina has a depth of twenty-two feet of water at high tide. At the wharves, where largo warehouses have been erected, there is a depth of twenty-four feet The railroad, which is well built and fully equipped with rolling stock, will at ouco be extended eastward from Corvallis into Idaho, and thus bring into close commercial relations with San Francisco fields of trade hitherto inaccessible to our mer chants. It is predicted that tho first result of the opening of tho steam ship line in connection with the rail road will bo a reduction of S2 per ton in favor of the farmers in transport ing their wheat to market It is stated that the steamship Yaquina will make three round trips a month this season. Next year another ship will be placed on tho route. There is hardly a doubt that San Francisco will ultimately control the trade of this regiou of conutrv. NOVEL THINGS. An Episcopal minister in Virginia City, Nevada, drew his salary from tho people in poker chips which were redeemed at the bank. It takes abont 4,009,000 false teeth a year to go round this country. While digging at Grant's grave in Riverside Park tho other day the workmen found several old English aud Spanish coins of the date of 1792 buried five feet below tho surface.
