John ChInaman" Fleeing before the
Wrath OF the Sandioters- Large Ar
rivals ut 81. Louis-Thcir Destination
Eastward.
ST. LOUIS, February 9S.-A special TO
the Republican from Kansas City says
two car loads OF Cinnamon arrived in that
city on the Kansas City and Council Bluffs
train at $3.50 this morning. They took the
St. Louis, Kansas City and Northern Rail-
road for ST. Louis. At st. Louis the COM
pany will divide. Some will go to Toledo
over the Wabash, and others will take the
Vandalia road for the East. Five hundred
more Cinnamon will arrive either this
morning or tomorrow. They are to come
in the same way that the others came. The
Cinnamon are all from California, mostly
from San Francisco, and are bound for
New York City. They came to Omaha
over the Union Pacific, and from Omaha
to Kansas City over the Bluffs road.
There are two causes for the migration.
The principal one Is the treatment they
have received at the hands OF the hood
lums. The secondary cause is the cutting
Of rates now going on between the Pacific
Mail Steamship Company and the Union
Pacific Railway Company. Until recently
these organizations have been working un-
der an agreement. The Steamship Com
pany has Withdrawn from the agreement,
and made q rate OF its own. The railroad
companies then agreed to take these
Celestials from San Francisco 10 New York
for SS5 per head.
In this connection q lew observations
by prominent Californian OF conserva.
tive views, now in st. Louis en- route
East, may be worthy OF production. he
was not sorry that some OF the San Fran
cisco Cinnamon had concluded to go to
Eastern cities, first, because there was no
possible doubt that the Pacific Coast could
well spare many thousands OF them; and
second, because the more the people oil
the East saw OF the Mongolians the better
understanding they would have OF the
Chinese question, which is now making
California quiver with an agitation she
never saw or felt before. The Chinese
question Is big question Tor US, the gen
tleman said, no matter from what stand
point we regard 1t, and, OF course, IN
years, may become an equally important
factor in the political and social problems
Of the Central and Eastern States. II lsal'
most certain to give US serious trouble IN
San Francisco. The telegraphic accounts
OF the situation in our city are toned
down, they do not portray the worst ot
the situation. They don't tell half that
might be told OF the rumbling volcano on
which We are sleeping. San Francisco
has, beyond doubt, the worst moi, IN
America. The substratum OF our society
is made up OF the otf.scourings Of the
earth. 1t is bold, defiant and utterly un-
scrupulous, and you need not be aston
ished any morning TO hear oil the burning
OF the Chinese quarter and massacre
OF many OF the residents there.
