Creighton, agent of the New Zealand gov ernment, today received a dispatch from t he postmaster general of New Zealand asking if the United States congress had passed the shipping bills. Parliament would be prorouged this month and he announced that New Zealand would follow the action of New South Wales and withdraw from inail service between Australia and the United States unless congress took action at once towards giv ing a certain amount of the steamship sub sid3.

Dnpuy in regard to negotiations with the powers relative to the American customs administrative bill, said that the govern ment had been in negotiation with the other European powers with the object of trying to concert col lective actiou against the bill. The other powers, he said, were averse to entering into any engagement in connection with the matter. M. Ribot de clared tiiat he feared further action would defeat its own object. M. Dupuy said that he hoped that M. Ribot would strenuously try to secure from the United States government a moderate application of the previsions of the bill. In any case, he declared, the French customs committee knew now what course to adopt. Rheumatism and catarrh, caused by poor and corrupted blood, cured by Aj-er's Sarsaparilla.

An Exciting Contest in the Eace for Pro fessional Doubles. DULUTn, Minn., July 21. The first day of the great Duluth Superior regetta has proved a success and was witnessed by thousands of people. Never were sky, air and water more kindly disposed toward a great aquatic event. Nettleton, of Minne sota, won the race for junior sculls in 10:49. A close finish was seen in the junior four oared race, Winnipegs winning only by a nose from the Duluths, who were but a short distance ahead of the Minnesota. The race for junior doubles was taken by the Cutlins, of Chicago, tho Minnesotas being second. Time 10:10Vf. The next race was for professional double crews for a stake of 61,00'J. The contest ants were Gaudaur and McKay, Teenier and Hosmer, Hanlan and Wise and Hamm and TenEs'ck. When they got started the crews dipped their oars 111 the water as if they were one man. In an instant the powerful stroke of Gaudaur and McKay told and they forged ahead of Teenier and Hosmer, now a quarter, and now a half, and now a full length. From the start the struggle was most interesting. The turn was tirst made by Gaudaur and McKay. A second later Hosmer and Teemer followed, then Hamm and Teneyck and finally Hanlan and Wise. On the home stretch Haitian's boat got into Teemer's water. Half way to the finish the press boat was passed when Gaudaur and McKay led Hosmer and Teomer by three lengths. The latter kept three-fourths of a length ahead of Hamm and Teneyck, who kept the same distance ahead of" the Toronto crew. Gaudaur crew shot across the line amid screeching of whistles, about four lengths ahead. The effort of the lat two crews to pass Hosmer were unavailing but were almost crow ned with success, lor there was only a length between Teemer and Hamm and, ab-o between Hamm and Hanlan at the finish. The time was: Gaudaur and Mc Kay 12:2S; Teemer and Hosmer 12:32; Hamm and Teneyck 12:331; and Hanlan and Wise 12:'54.

TO CROSS THE ENGLISH CHANNEL- A Combination Bridge and Tanaol Scheme "Wlilcli aiay Succeed. A most uiy que idea is the one that has emanated from the busy brain, of M. P. Buneau-Varilla, and. which seems likely to solve the problem of rapid transit across the English channel To devise a method to escape the turbulent passage by boat of that tempest swept patch of water, and bring the tight littles island into closer communion from the standpoint of hours and minutes with the continent, has lomr been the dream and ambition of commer cial England. And either tho method of bridge or tunnel would long ago have been adopted but ior tho fear that tho cov eted road to Franca would, in the event of war with that country, prove the road to England's ruin by affording the enemy a means of speedily implanting an army on her shores. But the ingenious Frenchman's scheme dissipates all that, and hero is how he pro poses to do it, by what he calls a "mixed solution," "bridge tunnel" method. He would build a great bridge out from the shore on either side into the sea for as long a distance as was advisable or necessary, each bridge totally independent of the other. Then at the sea end of each bridge ho would construct shafts, either in clined or vertical, which would contain elevators sufficiently largo to lower or raise at one time as many trains of cars as absolute safety might dictate. These shafts would bo sunk to a sufficient depth below the bod of the river to allow a tunnel to be constructed connecting the two shafts and thu3 the bridges. You would leave Dover in a comfortable railway carriage, tho train would speed across the English end of tho bridge to tho elevator, down you would go to the bottom of the sea and into the tunnel, run across that distance, come up by the elevator jm tho French bridge and speed on to Calais, which you would reach in an hour from starting. X&i20 THE FRENCHMAN'S PLAN. And suppose there should spring up a war? Well, a couple of well directed heavy shot would knock tho elevators and tho connections into the channel and all fears l of an invasion by that route would vanish into thin air. The scheme is perfectly practicable and has excited favorable com ments from tho scientific men of both France and England. Its materialization is among the possibilities of the near future. It could be completed in six years, at a cost of about 50,000,000. Tho High Bred English Woman. The high bred English woman is among the finest products of civilization. Her voice is music, exquisitely modulated, with every syllable clear and distinct; to hear it makes credible the story of the orator who could pronounce tho word mesopotamia in a manner to move an audience to tears. Her carriage is the. result of as careful training as that of a race horse, and her manners in her own circle are simply per fect. Sho is always well educated, speaks French and German fluently, plays and sings "all English pipe a little," to quote an Englishman, "and join in choruses whether they have any voice or not." Greeks In New Xork. The Greek race is sending quite a con tingent acrossthe ocean to the New World. One class consists of those who come from the little kingdom and from Smyrna and the other large Turkish cities. They ore intelligent and educated, and usually go into mercantile life as soon as they arrive in New York. The second class comes from tho villages and .fields of Turkey in Europe and Turkey in Asia, and are illit erate and superstitious, They follow in tho footsteps of the Sicilians nnd become bootblacks, peanut roosters, candy peddlers and the like. Japanese as Chinamen. Judging from tho press and the public utterances of prominent men it is not known that the Chineso and Japanese be long to the same race, speak similar lan guages and use the same characters in reading and writing. The result of the error is that hundreds of Chinese are com ing to the United States under tho gaiso of Japanese, and aro welcomed, when if their nationality wero known they would bo shut out from "the land of tho free and the homo of tho brave." Malays in tho iletropolis. There is a Malay population in New York city which varies from 200 to 1.8C0. Despite tbe statement found in school books that they are cruel, ferocious nnd sanguinary, Only threo of their race have been arrested in twenty-five years, and those only for violating city ordinances. As a matter of fact they are quiet, orderly and very polite. A majority of them speak a very good Spanish, but only a few have any knowl edge of the English language.

Tho Buyers of Stolen Goods Are Goner ally Very Shrewd People, and the Only "Witnesses "Who Can Be Brought Against Them Are "Crooks." Copyright by American Press Association. The origin of a slang phrase is sometimes a difficult thing to trace, but surely it is easy to understand why a person who buys stolen goods from a thief is called a "fence." Obviously, if a robber were seeking to hide the evidence of his crime when the officers of the law were in hot pursuit of him, he would, if he could, hide his "swag" behind 3a A QUEEB LOOKDCG SHOP NEAP. THE EOWERT. the nearest fence. Hence "fence," a. place to hide swag, and, by easy transition, tba person who provides such a place. The fence makes large profits. I bought a very good pocket knife the other day fo? half a dollar in a queer New York shop near the Bowery, where pretty much everything from a dumbbell to a Cross of the Legion of Honor is displayed for sale. It look the shop like what it purports to be. a place for the sale of pawnbrokers' un redeemed pledges bought at auction ac cording to law. As I came out a rough looking fellow who stood near and had evidently been watching me said, "What did yer pay for de knife, bos3?" "Fifty cents," I replied, somewhat sur prised. "Oh, Halifax'" he exclaimed, too much disgusted to pronounce the name clearly or fully. "Why, de bloke only give us fifty cents for two dozen of 'em." And ho strolled up street with another rough fel low who seemed to be his pal. If I am not mistaken they were using bad Language when they walked away. Together with large profits the.business offers very serious risks, though probably les3 than almost any other kind of crime. The laws are severe enough, or probably it. is better to say that they are severe. The chance of detection and conviction, however, is comparatively small. Even after the police have learned beyond the possibility of doubt that a man or a woman makes a business of baying booty from thieves, it is exceedingly difficult to procure such evidence as will warrant an indictment, to say nothing of the proba bility of a petit jury disagreeing or acquit ting the accused-person. In the last case of ho kind which, was tried in New York tho prisoner, a Mr. Saich, who was a jeweler doing business on Sixth avenue, was convicted on the tes timony of threo professional burglars. One of tho witnesses testified coolly to hav ing committed burglaries enough to con sign him to a dungeon for a hundred years, but when he was asked if he hod ever been a convict he refused to answer on the ground that it would degrade him. Will- iamF. Howo, tic famouTcriminal lawyer, declared that ho.had never seen a parallel ' case. As a matter or course it was per fectly easy for him to impeach the credi- . bility of the witness in fact it was scarce ly necessary to do it but tho jury believed tho burglar as against the fence, and Mr. Saich was sent to state prison. Speaking of this case Inspector Byrnes said the other day: "Yes, we have to use thieves for witnesses. Wo can't get any other. You may talk dl you havo a mind to abont convicting a man on the testi mony of disreputable witnesses, but what can we do? We can't get William M. Evart3 or Dr. John Hall to go to a fence and sell him stolon goods. Of course it makes conviction difficult. Tho fence usu ally has an eloquent lawyer who knows his business. He will take one witness in hand and ask him if he has over been in state prison. Usually tho witness will say yes, knowing that his record is known. Then tho lawyer will talk to tho jnry, and will generally influence at least ono juror to give his client the benefit of the donbt, tell ing them that no ono ought to be convict ed of crime on the testimony of a convict. "Undoubtedly Mother Mandelbenm was tho most notorious fence in Now York," continued the inspector. "Yes, there was S.

" crnaou"Dteary ne was a rei lowthat would buy almost anything he could get hold of, but the law specifies that the receiver must buy stolen goods with a guilty knowledge, and there tvbs never any proof of bis buying anything that he knew to be stolen. "No, there haven't been any very con spicuous instances since Mother ilandel baum's day," he continued. "We have convicted two or three within tho past year and a half, though. That man Saich was the most troublesome. We had several cases against him." "Wasn't he very incautious in talking with the thieves he bought from?" "Not remarkably so. You see, when a man has bought two or three times from some particular thief it is natural for him to talk freely to him. Yery likely he will ask the fellow to send others to him. He doesn't run so much risk in doing it either as might seem, for, as I just said, the thief's testimony is easily impeached. The great est risk he has is in handling goods that he cannot transform. If he buys a watch or a piece of silver he can melt it down, and we cannot possibly trace it. "There is one man who has given us a great deal of trouble. He is a man called . He is over 70 years old and is very cunning. Ho will make the thieves store the goods in some room, and will buy by samples only. When he has made his bar gain he will go around and measure the goods, pay for them and send them away to St. Louis, for instance to some auc tioneer to be sold in tho regular way. H8 was in business in this city two or three times and failed every time, though I don't suppose he lost money by it, and so keeps np a sort of business connection or ac quaintance that enables him to dispose of the goods. Wo have arrested him several times, but we never could got him tried." "Why, couldn't yen get proof?" "Oh, yes, proof enough." ,tWhy wasn't he tried, then?" "Now see herel I'm not going to cast any reflections on anybody. I told you he was over 70 years old. Well, tho old fox, wben ho is arrested, can work himself into a ter rible fit of sickness apparently. He has to go to tho hospital, and has to be carried there. You'd think he was going to die at once, but ho gets well as soon as the legal trouble blows over. "Of course they ore not all as talented as he is in that direction, but they give us a great deal of trouble, and the most we can generally do is to watch them so closely that they are afraid to buy. You might almost say that we have broken up the '- &" H5 A BROADWAY TESCE. business as a business.

"How about tho petty thieves, such as the youngsters who prowl along tho-river front? What do they do with their plun der?" "Well, there isn't very much of that go ing on. Of courso there is some. It cannot be stopped entirely. They go to any junk man and self what they get for the merest trifle. Then after the stufE gets into the junk It can hardly ever be traced. That's tho end of it." In former days a burglar's lot was a much happier one than it is at present, for the reason that the pawnbroker's estab lishrnent was then an easy fence. Now adays the enforcement of the law is so strict that few pawnbrokers will touch an article which they suspect has been stolen, and the averago pawnbroker becomes by experience very shrewd in judging of the character of his customers. The thieves therefore commonly steer clear of the pawnbrokers. There ore, however, two well knojrn jewelry establishments on Broad way where a real pawn brokerage. Is carried on, but in a round abouterasion of the law, and at both f thee place it is vehemently suspected that stolen dlamcads are often bought. A customer who roally wishes to borrow money on a dioznood can sell ir at either place with a 6tiplation that he may bny it back at a steep adrance on the price within a limited time.
