The Chinese Agitation.
Los ANGELES. March 2d-The largest
anti-Chinese demonstration ever had here
was held last night under the auspices of
the Anti-Coolie League. A large torch
light procession. about 500 taking part
paraded the principal streets. At the con-
cIusion of the parade, speeches were made
in front of the Concordia Hotel During
YESTERDAY and all of to-day the Chinese
vegetable peddlers were followed by men,
bers of the League, who noted all persons
patronizing the Chinese, preparatory to
boycotting. Yesterday was the bow
colt day, and the days closing
showed one laundry's doors closed,
others preparing to do so. and the Chinese
vegetable business thoroughly democrat
lied On Wednesday night business places
will be boycotted, and the strict boycott
now maintained against the Chinese will
be carried TO them. The evening papers
publish declaration of principles of the
Law and Order Anti-Chinese Society, in
tended to organize to advocate the contro-
version Of the strict boycott now promul-
gated by the League. 1t is issued BIZ several
prominent citizens, and meeting is called
for next Saturday night at the Courthouse.
1t is deemed BIZ the League a hostile act to
its work, and the agitation is sure to wax
warmer. 4 large number of San Francisco
and Sacramento wholesalers have pledged
the League that they will not sell, nor offer
for sale the products of Chinese labor in
this city, and strong stand will be made
on this point. The agitation is the talk of
the hour, and cannot prove otherwise than
Instantaneous to the Chinese.

members. Strong resolutions have been
adopted, and boycorting commenced.
The Railroad War.
SAN FRANCISCO, March 2d.-There were
no new features in the railroad war to-day
rates remaining the same as those that
ruled yesterday. The limit of time on
limited tickets has been fixed at eight days
TO New York, which gives two days grace,
as the through time TO New York is six
days. Passenger business is rather light
at many offices compared with that of yes
terday, which seems to indicate that most
of those ready to buy at present figures
have secured their tickets There was a
crowd at the corner of New Montgomery
and Market streets, watching for new fig
ures to appear or the bulletin boards DIS
played there, and listening to the occasional
invitations of agents of rival shops TO step
in and purchase. Should another tumble
in rates take place. there would probably
be another rush of buyers. At no place
to-:lay could unlimited tickets be secured
under the schedule rates fixed by the
Southern Pacific Company, and the demand
for tickets of this class has diminished
very considerably. But in some instances
patronage is sought to be secured by offer
ing tickets at the rate granted to large ship
pers, which is about $50 less than regular
schedule rates.
The war is being carried on in the freight
department by the Southern Pacific Com
pany with as much vlgor a. in the passen-
ger department, the cut in freights yester-
day being a deep one. making freight
charges fifty cents on 100 pounds on all
classes of merchandise from San Francisco
to New York. This rate is made over the
Sunset Route, and the low rate of seventy
five cents per 100 pounds on one class, and
ST. on another class of merchandise has
been made from New York to this CITY.
There was to be detected to-day no sign
that the railroad war was near its end, al
though it may be terminated at any mo-
ment and rates go up much faster than they
went down. The meeting of railroad man
ayers in New York to-day may result in
some change in the railroad situation
SECOND DISPATCH.l
SAN FRANCISCO, March 2d.-The South
ern Pacific Company has issued freight
rate of 37a cents for all classes of freight to

San francisco Money Market
SAN Francisco, March 2d.-Money has

full. Considerable new money or its equiv
