RAID ON THE CHINESE.
The Chinese Quarter Of San Francisco
Declared a Nuisance--Workingm
Ctratifed


Gratihed.
SAN FRAEcIsco, Feb. 21.-A special meet
ing of the Board of Health today the report of
the committee to investigate the condition of
the Chinese quarter was read. The report
declares the state of affairs found there, and
its disclosures of crowding, filth, disease. crime
and utter disregard OF all conditions for the
preservation OF health, life and property is
even more startling than expected. The re-
port closed with the recommendation that
Chinatown be condemned as nuisance, and
calls upon the proper authorities to take neces-
sary steps for its abatement without delay
The report was unanimously adopted and it is
expected immediate action will be taken to
carry out the views of the board
The workingmen are greatly gratiied at the
action of the board, which it is believed will
meet with but little opposition except from di-
rectly interested parties.
AT a mass meeting of workingmen Kalloch
was the principal speaker. The address was
conservative in advising his hearers to avoid
unlawful means and carrying out efforts for
local settlement of the Chinese question. Tho
audience was enthusiastic but orderly.
