The Chinese Influx,

During the present year over 1920 Chi
nese have been landed in San Francisco
from foreign ports, exclusive OF the $50 Oh
the Oceanic, who, In all probability, will
be added to the list. Under the Restric-
tion Act of 1882, the number of Chinese
who arrived at the port directly from
China in the period Of % months was
8, 745. The new Restriction Act. so-called
was approved July 5, 1884. Under this
Act in IL months there have been landed
here $3.50 Chinese, or 1,400 more in one
year than we're brought in 20 months
under the old Act. Every day contributes
some new dodge to the list of schemes for
eyading the provisions of the imperative
Restriction Act. Any Chinsman who can
prove to the Federal Courts that he has
been q former resident Of San Francisco is
allowed to land. II the Chinaman thus
admitted obtained q certificate for sale and
can bring a companion with him or send
the document back TO China to be utilized
In the scheme Of Wholesale immigration.
The Custom-house keeps M account OF
Chinese who arrive on vessels from domes-
tic ports.

CHOLERA.

Cholera is raging more than ever in
Spain and there is no longer any doubt
but that it is of the Asiatic type. The
belief is becoming prevalent that the dis.
ease will spread all over Spain, from
Spain all over Europe, and eventually
from Europe to America. 1t is also
believed that a sea quarantine, properly
observed, will insure against the cholera
infection, so much SO that America need
not have the cholera unless she chooses
According to a special dispatch to the
SENTINEL yesterday, there were l,4li
new cases of cholera reported in Spain OF
Monday, and 667 deaths. The choler;
has broken out in four places in the
Province of Jaen. Forty-two new case'
were reported Monday in that province
and Is deaths from the disease. Tit
official report shows a total of $4,000
cases in Spain since the inception of th'
scourge up to last Monday. and a tota
OF l3, 600 deaths.

The San Francisco sub.Treasury.

The moneys that are in the Sub-Treas-
ury vaults in San Francisco will have TO
be counted before S. II. Brooks, the
newly-appointed Sub-Tressurer, takes
charge of his office. There is supposed to
be 500. 07O, $50 in the vaults. To count
men not less than two months. In the
first vault there are $40, 000, 600 OF gold IN
$40 900 sacks, and 81 ,000, 900 in green
backs. In the lower vaults are kept the
silver dollars. Vault No. l has 3.l6S
cubic feet OF coined silver; vault No. z cd
closes a pile OF money Sc feet long, . feet
high and s feet wide. One cell has slowed
away S22, 037 900 in $50 gold pieces, and
IN the other cell there are $4,000, 700 IN
silver coin. Two other vaults contain sill.
yer dollars and halves to the amount OF
| Sc, 600, 600. The contents of these six
| vaults would raise a mound Of coin -four
| feet wide, four feet high and 448 feet long,
| representing over 500 tons Of precious
| metal. The utmost precautions are OBJ

| doors are so constructed as to defy
| the ravsges of fire or the efforts OF a regi-

ing an alarm. Every half hour Waterman

half hour ring up the district telegraph to
show that they are ON the alert.
In the Mint at present there are about
225 employees, and when running on full
| time the number usually reaches 300.
There are four departments under the
management of the coiner, melter. refiner
and assayer, who are held responsible for
! the business of each department. Conse-
q~uently. they have something to say about
the selection Of their subordinates. Then
after the appointees are approved by the
superintendent, they must be confirmed
by the Director Of the Mint at Washington.

New Proverbs.

A white lie often told makes black
story. It's poor musician that can't
blow his own trumpet. He who would
eat the egg must first break the shell.
Every back has its pack. The man
who wishes to continue believing in his
friends should never put them to the
proof. Look after your wife; never
mind yourself. she'll look after you.
The want of money is the root of much
evil. Egotism is an alphabet with one
letter. If you know mans charac-
ter follow him home. Men love wo-
men; women love a man. The surest
road to honor is to deserve it. Only
whisper scandal and its echo is heard
by all. It's not the clock with the
loudest tick that goes the best. Home
is the rainbow of life. Don't complain
of the baker until you have tasted OF
his bread. They who live in q worry
invite death to hurry.-7ruh.
