SAN Francisco. Feb. 9.-Tcdsy, at

known, but be stated they contained &C
counts which did not vary materially
from press dispatches, and gave no new
particulars OF any importance. All in

General P-pe had heard naShine be

DRPREssKD FEELINGS OF THE CHINESE.
SAN Francisco, Feb. "a visit to
Chinatown shows most depressed con-
dition of affairs among its Inhabitants
Never was there less apparent business
done at the various stores than now.
The thestsr, despite the fact that the
New Year festivities have not yet come

recent heavy iDtiux of boycotted China

is adding daily 90 the Pagan's hard
times. The different companies hav-
their hands fall IN providing even the
most meaeer food fer the hungry
0ofdes. As to sleeping accommodations
numerous arrests for violation of the
cubic air ordinance tell their own tale.
A well posted white resident of the
Chinese quarter said that during the "a
years he had lived there he had never
before seen such quiet New Year
among the Chinese, or the time when
they had less money to spend than now.
be said the distress now prevailing
among them from lack of employment
Vas something frightful, and the arri-
val OF even twenty more idle men TO be
provided for was immediately felt BY
those already here. What the Chinese
who we're coming on the Queen of the
Pacific from Seattle will do, or hsw
they will live il they are without means,
is puzzle. II Is certain this continued
influx of bankrupt Chinese from the
country is driving she Companies 10

come to the conclusion that the present
movement is different from preceding
ones, acd that it will prove to be per,
