readily, and, as far as California Is concerned;
THANKFULLY supplied witnons1urther importations.
The arrivals are now comparatively few and far
between, and new immigrants are so scattered
over the country and so quietly occupied that
their presence is not generally felt. The last
steamer from China at San Francisco brought
only shout sixty immigrants; and the-uumoer
now resident in California Is. less than $4,000 or
SO per cent. less than it was year ago. Unem-
ployed immigrants have, many OF them, returned
to their native country; and Chinese companies
and agents, hitherto employed in promoting I'M
migration, have advised their countrymen to stay
at home.
The edinburgh University has declared Itself
upon the matter OF instructng women IN medl'
cine. At the Easter competitive examination
Young woman won the scholarship, but the
faculty refused to grant 1t on the ground that al
though women are entitled to tuition the un1Ver-
sIty prizes belong TO men exclusively. Tie pro-
fessor OF chemistry, Mr.. Crum Brown, was dis
susted at this action, and made an application to
the corporation to put young women en- the same
footing as young men. The professors Of surgery
and anatomy appealed to the members OF the
corporation not to do It, asserting that they could
not perfo. 10 their dulles decently when women
were In the lecture-room. The professor Of surge
ry declared that he would rather resign than
lecture to mixed class. He read memorial
from one hundred and sixty y-one male Students
protesting against the admission OF females 70
the classes. But the professor OF PHYSIOLOGY re-
piled that he found no difficulties as suggested;
he could lecture to mixed class as easily as 70 one
composed OF male students exclusively; women
made the most expert dissectors and In his
judgment they are By nature better fitted Tor sur
gcons than men. The women were in fair way
to carry the day, when DR.. Chrlstson, physician
In ordinary to the Queen, came to the rescue and
informed tic corporation aud professors that tha
"highest lady in the realmn had instructed him to
represent to them that she greatly disapproved OF
women studying medicine. Professor Buras's re-
quest was voted down by majority Of one.
