The Startling Discovery Made By the
Coroner Of San FrmuclscO.


SAN FRANCISCO, CAL, Sept 16.-The discov.
cry yesterday afternoon OF the horrible prac.
tices OF the Chinese In preparing the bones Of
their dead fellow-countrymen for shipmeut to
China, which have been carried on under the
ve-y nose of the city authorities, has created
deep and intense excitement The knowledge
that such a mass OF putrfaction was lying ex-
posed in the very heart OF the city, while, at the
same time, the drainage and sewers OF the city
are known to be in a filthy condition, has cre-
ated feeling of fear for the health of the CITY,
After all the boxes containing the remains Of
the dead Cinnamon had been removed to the
morgue the coroner was interviewed In regard
TO the matter. He stated that when he arrived
at the cellar In which the bodies were stored,
and In which purified remains which had still

sixty bodies in ali. Each box contained q tin
case, in which, carefully wrapped In oil-cloth.
We're a number OF human bones. The smaller
bones ano long strips OF skin were wrapped up
in separate parcels and placed within the Larger
ones. On the outside OF each box was q label
bearing Chinese characters giving the name of
the dead persons within, SO that the remains
could be identified by relatives In China Amer
having opened several OF the boxes the coroner
concluded to seize the whole lot, and remove
them to the morgue. Express wagons were
being placed In the wagons some of them
rolled OF and fell to the pavement, break
ing open and exposing the contents. The
crowd which had assembled, upon learning tho
cause of the excitement, jumped on the bodies
and in their indignation trod them under foot.
continued without further Interruption. The
remains were removed TO the morgue. Most OF
the boxes containing remains were exami-
nation found TO have come from cities In the In
terror of the state. The remains were shipped
from there TO San Francisco in common tea
boxes. Those that come from the interior are
boiled and prepared before shipment SO that DO
odor is perceptible on the route. Only those re-
moved from San Francisco cemeteries have
flesh stu on them when brought for prepara-
ton To the cellar. 1t was the Intention 20
have shipped all those on the steamer City Of
Pekin, which sails Saturday next II 10

Leaving OF Their Own Accord.
RAwLINs, WYo., Sept. 16.-The knights OF
Labor have taken up the cudgel against the
Chinese, and the ultimate expulsion of the
Mongolians from the territory is probable.
Mr.. Neesham, representing the Union Pacific
division Of the Knights of Labor. arrived here
yesterday. and was met by Mr.. Bromly, pre-
senting President Adams, OF the Union Pacific
company. Both spent the day in looking into
the causes OF the anti-Chinese demonstrations.
1t was shown that the Chinese were brought
back against their wishes. Mr.. Neesham left
for Denver last night He said to a correspond
ent: "The information I received today as
tOunds me. The situation is desperate and calls
for heroic measures" It is feared there will be
trouble unless the Union Pacific recedes from
its position and sends the Chinese out of the
country. 1t Is not unlikely, however, that this
matter will settle itself in q few days without
interference from any one. The Chinese here
are becoming demoralized. Thirty of them
boarded yesterdays west bound express, and q
like number set out for the west on foot with
baggage on their backs. The white miners were
told they could go back to work this morning.
and will likely do SO IL no attempt is made to
work Chinese with them. So far the Chinese
have been afraid 70 go down into the mines,
and have, consequently, been idle since the
riot.

Wheat Production and Distribution.
INTERESTING FACTS FROM STATISTICIAN

wheat Production and Distribution.
INTERESTING FACTS FROM STATISTICIAN
DODGE'S REPORT.
In his September report on the condition of
the crops, which came from the printing office
this morning, Mr.. ]. r. Dodge, statistician
OIL the department Of agriculture presents some
interesting facts in relation to the production
and distribution Of wheat for a series of years
past He states that since 1850 the production
Of wheat in this country has increased twice as
last as population, and that last years crop was
five times as large as that OF the year just
named. The causes of this rapid Increase
he finds: l, In "the possession of large areas of
fresh land easily brought into cultivation; 2,
the extension Of railroad construction, and
rope" He points out he striking fact that the
to Ills, 2ss,472 bushels, sis nearly the same
equaled 1885, ss,67s blshels;;'S and yet he
nuai shipments have differed 10000, 900
bushes In two years. The effect of this uncer-
t na,Iy Is disastrous to all caieulations Of
I111|5 1s5sEsme Of our heaviest crops and low
pttees fer some of the worst yields on record"
since the return Of normal seasons in Europe
average for the last four years has been
5sOOO,OO0 bushels a year less than our maxi
Conclusion is that Wheat at growing Hase is
Overdone and that the only remedy for the
glut In the wheat market is a reduction of the
acreage In that grain and increased attention
to other crops. The accuracy of the department
estimates as TO the amount Of wheat produced
is sustained in a somewhat remarkable degree
by the figures as to expectation for tie last
eight years, coupled with the most authorita-
tive estimates as to the amount used for food
and for seed. The average annual consump-
ton for the eight years, 1S77-1SS4, as thus
shown is AIS ,OsS, 45s bushels, while the aver
age annual production for the same period, as
shown by the figures Of the department of agri-
culture is 445.457 ,692 bushels This slight ex-
cess OF production over apparent consumption
is in great part accounted tor by the fact that
the surplus on hand now is much larger than
question, while the remainder, as Mr.. Dodge
Justly points out, 'is scarcely enough for the
losses on tho lakes by fire.

The Judges Defense.
1aH ALABAMA CLAIMS COURT EXPENSES



A0H ALA6AMA CLAIMS COURT EXPENSES
NECESSARY AND LEGAL.
secretary Bayard has transmitted Judge Har-
lan's written defense of the organization of the
court OF Alabama Claims (concurred in by his
associates on the bench-Judges French and
Draperl to the Attorney General for an opinion.
Inc line OF defense taken by Judge Harlan Is
just about that forshadowed in THE STAR. He
says no one was employed by the court whose
services were not absolutely Indispensable and
no money has been spent unnecessarilIy. He
refers 70 the mandatory provisions of the law
authorizing the court requiring the work to be
zone IN q certain limited time. Nearly
o,OoooUo claims, representing an aggregate
disposition by the court at Its two sessions, and
ne suggests that it canot be supposed that Con-
greSs intended that one clerk should do the
work OF ten men; or that one counsel, whose
presence was constantly required before the
court, should supervise the simultaneous taking
Of testimony in almost every state or territory
OF the Union, In England, France, Germany,
Japan, China, India, Peru, the West Indian
and hawaiian islands, and in nearly every i'm
pOrtant seaport on the habitable globe? Con-
gress could not have entertained any such pur-
pose. The question of employing assistant
counsel he says was referred to Attorney Gene
raj TAFT, who decided that their employment
was necessary and legal. When the court was
reorganlzed, he continues, it found that the
question now under consideration had been
settled in favor OF the court by the continued
practice OF the former court, and by the deliber-
ate approval Of every Official OF the govern
ment whose duty 1t was to pass Judgment there
on, ana that such practice had been acQuiesced
IN by CONGRESS and the people without word OF
dissent for seven years 1t found, moreover,
that the business of the court had been greatly
enlarged by the act of June 3, 1882, and that it
was required to be completed in two years.
