AN IMPROBABLE TALE.
It Looks tr Snniobody Is Trying to
llunru a rniiffhUeopsIo Hotelkeeper.
Pouciiikekpsie, N. Y., April 6. James
C. Griggs, proprietor of the Morgan
House, one ot the leading hotels in this
city, has recently received three letters
written in Spanish, to the effect that a
man in a prison in Barcelona for life has
10-ycar-old daughter whom the writer
is very anxious to have brought to
America.
The letters state that the prisoner has
an enormous treasure which he designs
for his daughter. The key to the loca
tion of the treasure is in a trunk in the
possession of u friend in Spain. The
writer of the letter claims to be the only
ono able to read this key or cypher ex
planation of the looallty of the treasure.
Mr. Griggs Bent the lotters to the
Spanish -consul at New York, but has,
unfortunately, made no note of the
name and address signed to the same.
There are reasons to bellove that hun
dreds of such letters have beon sent to
various persons, as the last letter asked
the loan of a few hundred dollars for the
expenses of working out the scheme.
it is expected that the Spanish consul
may bo able to help in the exposure of
what looks llko a romantic attempt at
a swindle.
EVACUATION OF RICHMOND.
A Balato Intended fur Admlraldreer Stirs
Up the Colored Folks.
RiaituoND, Va., April 0. "De white
folks on the capltol squar flrln' cannon
to celebrate de cullud folks' freedom."
"Da white folks dun come rouu at
las."
These, among many other expressions
of a similar character, were heard among
the colored people ot this city. It so
happened that the howitzers began firing
their salute in honor ot Rsar-Admiral
Oreer Just at tho time when the colored
societies were parading the streets to
celebrate the evacuation of Richmond.
The colored people uot being able to
understand why this salute was tired.
came to the 'conclusion that it was in
honor ot the evacuation ot Richmond by
the Confederate forces, and that the
Rlohmond howitzers were helping them
to celebrate the event. Among others
the opinion prevailed tbnt President
Harrison had ordered the salute.

Q GARY'S FIGURES.
What the Congressmen Buji of nil
Chines Kxclnslou Act.
Washinqtos, April 0. Representative
Geary, of. Cnllfornla, In an Interview ou
the subject of the Chinese Exolttslon Bill
passed by the House, and In reply to the
question, "If China savers trodo rela
tions with tho United States, will not
the manufacturers hero suffer,'' said:
"That Is a matter of figures. In 189?
tho Imports from China were $20,000,000
and our exports were $2,000,000. Last
year we brought $10,000,000 worth from
China and exported $8,000,000. For the
last ten vears tho balance ot trado has
i averaged about $13,000,000 In favor of
China, and 314,WU,UVU or our imports
have been teas, drugs, otc, which did
not pay duty. When China aunually
sells us $20,000,000 worth of goods she Is
uot likely to abrogate commercial
tions unless the moon Is made of green
chouse, which I do not believe Is tho
' c9e."
I "In China to-day there are ex
actly 1,022 Americans. Of these 28 (ire
, In trade, and the rest are mlsslon-
aries, seamen and stragglers. Suppose
I these people aro expelled. We can retal
I late by oxpolling l!i0,000 Chinese who
are in this country according to Mr. Por
ter's census. Do you think China wants
to go into the expulsion business?
Hardly, especially when her citizens
who are hero send more than $1,000,000
back to China every year, as the result
I of .their interference with American
labor. It would bo a good thing tb expel
them."
China trill Uetullate.
Washington, April 0. It was stated
last night that the Chinese Minister had
Indicated to Senator Sherman, who is
Chairman of the Foreign Halations Com
mittee, that If the Extroine Chinese Ex
clusion bill became a law in the form
that it passed the House yesterday the
Chinese Government would sever all dip
lomatic rolatious with this country. With
his usual reticence concerning pending
legislation, Senator Sherman wsuld say
nothing for publication.
