1t is a less difficult problem to ascertain
the number of Chinese women and chill
dren in Chinatown, than it is TO give with
accuracy the male population. First, be
cause they are at present comparatively few
in numbers; and, second, because thoy can
nearly always be. found in the localities
which they inhahSt This investigation has
shown, however, that whatever may be the
domestic family relations of the Chinese
empire, here th9 relations of the sexes are
chiefly so ordered as to provide for the graf
itication of ths animal procliyities alone,
with whatever result may chance to follow
i'll the outcome of procreation. There are
apparently IN Chinatown but few families,
living as such, with legitimate children. In
most instances the wives are kept in q state

THE BETTER CLASS 8F THE CHINESE,
the women are guarded and secluded in the
most careful manner. Wherever the sex
has been found in TIE pursuance of this in
vestigation under ather conditions, with
some few exceptions, the rule seems TO be
that they are here in state Of concubin-
age merely to minister TO the animaFpas

lowest possible grade, with all the wretch

EVERY BUILDING

and measured; the number of rooms which
each contains and the number of hunks or
sleeping accommodations given in the re-
port furnished your committee by its sur
vcyors, and certainly with approximate
accuracy, the number OF men, women and

population of the district referred to-

their own and individual observations, and
from the reports Of their surveyors, that it
is almost the universal custom among the
Chinese to herd together as compactly as
possible, both as regards living and sleep

STARTLING FACTS.
DISCOVERIES ST SUPERVISORS
OF SAN FRANCISCO.
The Horrors of the Chinese Ouarte,
Officially Reported Upon
in Detail.

Monday evening, in The Beard of Super
visors at San francisco, the special COM
mittee appointed in Febroary last TO inves-
tigate tie condition Of Chinatown presented
a lengthy report, from which the following
extracts are taken;
When your committee commenced fheir
investigations they We're impressed with
the fact that the general aspect of the
streets and habitations was filthy in the
extreme, and so Tong as they remained in
that condition, SO ln&g would they stand
as . constant menace to the welfare of soci-
ETY. as q slumberiuy pest, likely at any time
to generase and spread disease. should the
city be visited by an epidemic IN any viru-
lent form. Your committee are still of the
opinion that 1t constitutes continued
source of danger of this character, and
probably always will. 50 long as il is in
habited by people of the Mongolian race.
They are glad 10 be able to say, however.

CATION began. Itis perhaps we'll to INQUIRE

rate new rules and a new policy, under

thus of the improvement that has taken
place in the general appearance of China
town since your committee commenced its
Investigations, we would not be understood
as saying that the condition OF The locality
is in any sense what it should be in point
of cleanliness. With its Improvement. the
Chinese quarter is to-day the tilthiest spot
inhabited by men, women and children on
the American continent. All great cities
have their slums and localities where filth.
disease, crime and misery abound But in
the very best aspect which Chinatown can
be made to present, it must stand apart
conspicuous and beyond them all in the
extreme degree of all these horrible attri-
bates, the rankcSt outgroWth of human de-
graddtlon that can be found upon this con-
tinent. Here, it may be truly said. that
human beings exist under c0nditions-as
regards their mode of life and the air they
breathe-scarcely one degree above those
under which the rats of our water front
and other vermin live and breathe and
have their being.
No known method of census taking has
ever yet sutficed to furnish an approximate
idea even OF the number of our Chinese
population. 1t is believed that the system
which has been adopted in the conduct of
this investigation will reSultin establishing
a more correct conclusion on this point.
SO far as the twelve blocks covered by it
are concerned, than can be obtained through
any other method.

Coming 20 Their own.

President Cleveland is to be particu-
larly commended for restoring the Office
Of Commissioner of Public Buildings and
Grounds to the Engineer Corps. There
was no objection to Colonel Rockwell
personally, but it was always felt that
the trained engineering skill of the country
should be utilized here, and inasmuch a.
the precedent had once been wisely estab.
lished of appointing from the army list
to this Office, it was sad blow to the
Engineer Corps when President Garfield
appointed a civilian.
The appointment of Colonel John NJ. Will
son, therefore, gives unusual satisfaction,
since it is commended alike by the people
and by practical engineers. 1t is all the
more gratifying that Colonel Wilson is a ma
tive Of Washington, property -holder who
is thoroughly identified with the develop
ment and progress Of this city, and gen.
tleman whose ample experience and train
ing will enable him to push the city for.
ward into fresher beauties and renewed
triumphs. There are good times ahead fol
the Nations Capital.

Gaunt, pinched faces stared upward from
the coffins at Plymouth. Sometimes there
were no collins. Sometimes the mother
bowed her head over the body of her un.
shrouded baby and let her heart break.
Now and then great strong man wept
aloud over the stiflened forms of his wife
and children. Sepulture for one for the
others-they must wait till the hand OF
charity had stretched forth amid the dying
and the dead.
In the front room, CHASTITY thing, which
but few days before had bounded with the
warm pulsations ofa happy life. In the
back room tiny shroud-a sweet little face
from which the angel of Death had chased
the dimples. In the bed-room-if there
was a bed d.room-hushed cheeks, hot
with the fever; unnaturally bright eyes
that looked into the soul of the future
ard saw no hope; mother who sobbed
above the moaning of her sufferers and
prayed for just one hour of Divine help
and pity.
Here and there rude, kindly carpenter
gave out his pine boxes, with no thought Of
money. "Take it, neighbor," he would
say, as the tears stood on his bronzed and
manly cheeks; "it isn't much to give a
friend, but twill bury that little tot O.
yourn and get its poor body out O. sight an
mind for Bit" Then he was away again,
dealing out more boxes aud meeting death
with more tears than ever an undertaken
knew before.
Upon the mountain there were new
graves every day. Toling up the steep
hillsides came the professions. In front,
neigbbor who carried a box that held
purer jewels, more precious pearls than
Solomon in all his glory ever owned. Two
mourners, perhaps perhaps not SO many.
But all the pomp and circumstance OF
Nelson's obsequies after Trafalgar had not
one half the sorrow, the wailings and the
heariaches of those rude funerals in the
hills of Plymouth.
Death was everywhere. In the very
breath of springtimo that crept into the
close and fetid rooms at daybreak. In the
water which the weary watcher pressed to
the hot and fevered lips. In the MONDAY
sunshine, whose summer glare let no light
into the darkened and affrighted souls. In
the moonbeams, that danced across the
plain, uncovered floor, but brought no glad
ness to the mourning people. 1t was death
at all hours, and under all circumstances.
Then poverty came. "God Wasn't
death enough without this?" prayed the
stricken people. But the dull, leaden sky
Knocked their prayers and echoed back their

An Oriental Vision.

Bayliss w. Hanna is not going to Persia,
after all. He tried to contemplate the
sedan chair of tho Balkans as thing of
beauty and of comfort. He stayed awake
nights and conJured up the holy missionaries
Of Teheran.
He saw in vision the whited walls, the
Rlittering palisades of Persas capital, more
binding in their brilliancy than the city of
Algiers. Up from the hot sands of the
desert came the breath Of summer, but it
swept into being the bright birds aud bios
SONS of the Orient. Perfumes of the acacia
fingered among the fountains of Teheran.
Hooded women, more beautiful than the
Turkish houris, swarmed across the. courts
and passed out through the gardens. Devout
Mussulmans, worshipers from tho Indus,
patriarchal Brahmins all crowded in the
narrow streets and paid homage to the Min
lister from Indiana.
The dream was truly Oriental while it
lasted, for it savored of the Medes and Per-
slams, of the fatal feasts of history, and all
the romance of hallowed past.
But Judge Hanna found it was only a
nightmare, and after much deliberation he
concluded that 'twere better to keep door
in the ministerial residence of Argentine
than dwell in the ten is Of Teheran forever.
SO he arose and gat him to the President,
into whose sympathetic ear he poured his
wishes.
Judge Hanna never came to understand
how full blooded Indiana Democrat could
distinguish himself among the missionaries
of Teberan, and when he voiced the now
historic inquiry, "Where in blazes is Per-
sia ?" it was merely the outburst of an
honest heart.
We hope it is true that Judge Hanna will
he appointed Minister to the Argentine Re-
public. Commerce, trade relations and the
development of business between the
United States and that country demand a
strong, practical man for the mission, and
in Judge Hanna the President could not
make a mistake. Learned in the law, pol-
ished in his manners, generous, honest aud
courageous, he deserves well Of the Admin
istratiOn.
