Chinese immigration.
San FRANCISCO, April 12th.-The sgita-
ton of the Chinese question is having the
effect of producing the heaviest Chinese i'm
migration in California in six years. The ar
rivals last month were 8, S9l. This is the
largest number for any month since May,
1876, when 1882 arrived. Il is very rare
that so large q number comes to hand in q
single month. There has not probably been
half dozen months in twenty-five years that
the arrivals from China and japan have ex-
ceeded 8 900. In June, 1874, the number
was 1873. These are the only three in
stances of an excess of 5000 in single
month in eight years. The largest arrivals
for any month of which we have record were
June, 1873, when the total was 5,046. For
the Eionth Immediately preceding the number
was 5000, and the month preceding that one
1855. making total for that quarter of IL,
511. This number has never been equaled.
The total arrivals from China and Japan in
1873 were 1873. That was the largest num-
Der up to that time, and, with two excep-
tions, the largest number ever landed here
during single year. Those two exceptions
are 1875, when the total was Is, 366, and 1881,
when the total was 49, 221.

address By committee of workingmen upon
that subject. Supervisor Terrence, of the
Sixth Ward, where the Chinese are princi-

Chinese should be removed TO the Govern
ment reservation, or failing in this, be sug-
gests that the city set apart lands in the
neighborhood of the City Cemetery, on which
the heathens may erect their tents. This
section, he thinks should be guarded by
