Special to the Scranton Tribune. Pittston.May 30. Theodore R. Staley, one of the most prominent men in thH city, -was struck by the Liohlgh Val ley's Black Diamond express and in stantly killed. The circumstances surroifndlng Mr. Staloy's death aro of tho gravest sad ness. For twenty years ho had been engaged In the Jowelery business In this city. He was a prominent adver tiser and well-known everywhere throughout this vicinity. About a year ago ho embarked In tho furniture busi ness on a large scale In connection with his Jewelry business. The venture did not turn out as profitable ns ex pected, and he was closed In bank ruptcy. Mr. Staley was a conscientious man. His business troubles cuused him considerable worry, and last October he was taken to the Easton sanitarium for treatment. He remained there for several months and his condition show ing signs of Improvement, he was then taken to the home of his brother In New Jersey. About one week ago Mrs. Staley went to New Jersey for the pur pose of bringing her husband hero. The homeward Journey was commenced this morning. Mr. Staley having not entirely recovered, he was riulte rest less and was allowed to roam through the cars of the train. When tho train arrived nt Wllkes-Barre. about 4.30 o'clock, Mrs. Staley discovered that her husband was missing. Search was made, but he was nowhere to be found, nnd Mrs. Staley came on homo with out him. Shortly after arriving here, word was received that the cast-bound Black Diamond had killed a man near Sugar Notch, a short distance below Wllkes-Barre. Tho description of the victim tally ing with Mr. Staley, relatives went to Wllkes-Barre and Identified the tody. Mr. Staley doubtlessly left the train at Wllkes-Barre nnd proceeded to walk down tho tracks. Mr. Staley was about forty-flvo years of age, and is survived by a wlfd and four children. Tho remains wero brought to this city. MENTIONED IN BRIEF.

Minister Wu Ting Fang, In Alnslec's. America has a magnificent opportun ity In the Orient if she will only reach out and take It. A people which has done bo much and has taken advantage of ho many chances will surely not fall to reap for Its commerce the benefits which It has earned by Its bravery. The possession of the Philippine islands brings the United States close up to the greatest markets in the world markets which havo only Just begun to be developed, but which have already shown a capacity for development thnt a great commercial people will under stand. There are many millions of peo ple In China, and they aro ready to buy from other nations tho thlncs which they can use. Some In America seem to think that the Chinese now manu facture practically all that Is sufficient for their own needs. Far from It. Of course, It Is true that for centuries bo fore China was open to foreign trade its people made the goods they used, and this seemed sufficient; but now China Is open to forosn trade, and manufactured goods come from Amer ica and Europe. Wo buy them readily. America can sell us goods more cheap ly than our people could manufacture them. This Is true especially of cotton cloth. That which we manufacture ourselves wo weave with our own hands, and it Is very durable; but the American product Is very fine In com parison, and now It has como to be In common use with us. In some parts of tho empire American and English cot tons have taken almost entirely the place of our native manufacture. With finer dresses, silks, and that sort of thing. It Is not yet true; but with cheaper articles It Is. MODERN CHINA. China takes kindly to Improvements. Wo have not only tho railroad, but tho telegraph and tho telephone. Tho tele graph linos extend throughout tho length and breadth of China. Thero Is not a province now without tho tele graph. Tho first cable In China was laid by tho Danish company, and our principal telegraph company Is now superintended by a Danish engineer. The llrst telegraph company was or ganized by an official named Sheng Hsuan Hual, commonly , known ns Sheng Taotal. He Induced Chinese merchants to subscribe and built tho lino under government protection. The lino extended from Tientsin fQ" a short distance; then it was continued to Shanghai; then to Poking, and so branched out from north to south, from east to west. This was twenty years ago, and the telegraph built by private enterprise tinder government control, with Danish operatives, In the main now covers a wide extent of ter ritory. When It camo to extending tho system to more remoto parts of tho country tho prlvato commercial coni pany did not llko to undertake the con struction, nnd so the government has built these lines Itself. Thus there are practically two systems, one semi-official, the other solely under government control. Tho telephone has been Introduced more recently. The first telephones were brought In by foreigners for their own convenience, and their use spread gradually. The first line was put up at Shanghai, and others followed in dif ferent treaty ports. They are all man aged by different private companies. Wo havo no long-distance telephone an yet, but that will come In time. With the railroad, tho telegraph, the tele phone, and a great population thickly settling a vast extent of territory, the future possibilities of tho Chinese trade must appeal to the commercial In stincts of tho United States. With a foothold in tho Philippines, America will havo a great advantage over other nations which lack possessions in that part of tho world. If Americans know how to turn this to good account they will bo able to do wonders. Anothor Caso of Plnguo. San Francisco, May 30, The city board today held an autopsy on the body of a Chinaman found last night In a Chinese undertaking cstab. llshmrnt.
