 SAN FRANCISCO, March 2S.-As an argument establishing the fact of the existence of a whisky ring. and the late extensive manufacture of the crook ed, on this coast, it is stated that the wholesale dealers, who previously sup piled their stocks from local sources, are now purchasing largely from east ern dlstilleries. IL is said their has been no increase in the demand, and as the registered product of the home disulleries is the same as heretofore, the deficiency is attributed to the fact that the recent investigations have stopped, for the time being, the illicit here, while the eastern article is brought in to supply the trade of San Francisco.
 The board of supervisors, in con- sidering the present anti-cOolie excite ment, at the meeting last evening pass ed the following: Resolved that it is the sense of this board that all officers, city and county, should refrain from in any capacity, any Chi nese cOolies, or from the purchase and use of any article made or produced in California, by such coolies' labor, and from in any manner aiding or as- sisting any such cOOlie in obtaining or articles for manufacture, and from purchasing from and patron izing those who shall be known to em- ploy, aid or trade with, those employ ing any such coOlie labor.
