The San Francisco Bulletin says:
The effect Of the general movement
against the Chinese is beginning to
be seen in Chinatown, and those
best and longest acquainted with
the Chinese and the Chinese quar-
ter are beginning to ask what will
become of our Monaghan popula-
ton. Within a short time China
men have come from all parts Of the
Coast. having been forced to leave
the places where they were Lying
by the popular feeling against them.
All such come, naturally. to this
city. and in consequence Chinatown
is full, and will soon be OVERLOOKING.
Nearly the entire population OF
Chinatown can be arrested under
the cubic air law. But there is no
money with which to pay fines, and
the county has not accommodations
for all. In December, out of 17o
Cinnamon arrested under the above
order. 1875 went to jail not being
able to pay their fines. The appear
ance of the theaters, restaurants,
and gambling houses, show that the
formerly rich and prosperous Chi
natown has begun to feel the pinch
ing of poverty. The restaurants
are doing almost no business, and
the gambling houses are mostly fire.

Merchants who formerly did large
business with the county now send
hardly any goods thither, and are
withdrawing credit from great
boarding houses, one of which has
been forced to 90 out Of business.
No money is comparatively spent on
New Year, when money Is spent
if eyer. 1t is expected that there
will soon be much crime among the
Chinese for it will come to ques-
ton of crime or starvation. Already
the Chinese companies are securing
tickets to China for poor Cinnamon
for $25, and it is rumored they offer
to pay $40 of this; but this rumor
lacks confirmation. High rents,
constantly diminishing business
poverty and crime will it is thought,
soon render Chinatown place
from which even a Chinaman will
flee.

visitors being principally physici-

a member of the race known as the
Tree Dwellers of Laos" and was
captured five years ago. She was
FIVE years old at that time. She has
learned to talk English and German
fairly well. The most peculiar fea-
ture of Krao is the lnxuriant growth
of black, glossy hair which falls
in long tresses from her head and
covers her body almost completely
with a hairy envelope about one
inch in thickness. Only on the
palms of her hands and feet is the
grayish yellow skin uncovered. The
fingers are so flexible they can be
bent backward so that the ends
rest on the back Of the hand with
cut causing pain, and can be
twisted in every direction like the
feet of a monkey. The nose Of
this singular specimen Is devoid of
cartridges, as the ears, which are
situated further back in the head
than in the higher race. She is
the only member Of the Tree-dwel-
lers eyer brought to this country.

buildings along the narrow streets remain just
as they were three-quarters of century ago.
All along the northern boundary, where the
streets look like country roadways there are
grand old residences, with spacious grounds and
magnificent elms. For twenty five years there
has been no Improvement going on in this sister

WASHINGTON, July M-Interest in the well
fare Of Senator Jones, of Florida, has revived
during the past few weeks in Washington The
report comes here from Detroit whittier the
Senator went nearly year ago to WOO young
lady, that he does not intend to return to the
capital of the Nation unless he does so as rep
resentative of another State than the one of
flowers and sunshine. It Is stated that as soon
as what he terms ''the duress of the public" or
rather the public interest in lis private business
is relaxed, he will migrate to Montana, and not
to Washington or Dakota Territory, as at first
reported, and enter into the practice of law He
threatens to remain at Detroit until the people
and the press quit talking about him. Nobody
here Is surprised at this, as Senator Jones was
always remarkable for his pigheadedness.
Mr.. Jones is unusually fond of society and has
figured considerably in the swim of Washington
circles The love affair he has got into at
Detroit is not the only one he has had 1t is re-
lated that, some time ago. when he met young
English lady, cousin of lord or duke, he was
very greatly impressed with her upon first sight.
She was stopping at one of the uptown hotels,
and on the evening following her arrival and in
PRODUCTION to the Senator from Florida, he
called upon her. The carriage which conveyed
him also brought beautiful basket of flowers
which was in this most profuse manner present
ed. He remained for a couple of hours or more,
and tried very hard to entertain the young lady.
He continued the good work for about three
months, taking her to box parties and social
events generally, and was the means of introduc-
ing her into society into which she otherwise
could not have gained entrance.
There appeared about this time on the scene
wealtlY young New Yorker, who became as
muck A@stten as Senator Jones. Then there
was war to the knife. Diamonds were thrown
about with as much recklesness as the ordinary
affairs of life, but to no avail on the part of the
Senator from Florida The handsome young
lady went to Chicago, with the New Yorker at
her heels. Jones followed in few days, but he
proceeded directly to Detroit. It was but short
time until the young lady was married to Jones's
rival

WASHINGTON, July Ex-senator Beck went
fishing the other day." said one Of his colleagues
this morning, "and he did the most stupid thing
I ever heard Of He started out early in the
morning for the Upper Potomac. The favorite
bait of these high bred fishermen is frog Frogs
are procured day in advance by boys in the
vicinity where the fishing is to be done. Beck
does not seem to care very much when he goes
fishing whether he catches anything or not if he
has anumber of jolly companions with him. Soon
after he arrived at his destination for fishing he
set his pole. run out his line and threw his hook
with small live frog upon it. The vigorous
statesman then took position on the bank Of
the river and talked to his companions, smoked
and discussed future legislation. A number Of
times he observed his line to pull taut and
to see his pole sway little, but never
was there that hum and that swish of the line
which indicate the presence of a bass. Becks
companions told him that it was the frog pulling
at the line. and he never pulled it up until the
time had arrived for him to return to Washing

his line. i have not had bite to-day, and it is

1t is because that confounded little green frog

subject of granting another right to put up hotel
property, constitutional lawyers and statute

upon the subject The opinion is expressed by a
number of the best lawyers in the Senate and
House that not only has the governmentno right
to allow hotel property to be put up along the
beach at Old Port Comfort, but that at any time
the Legislature of Virginia may, by special act,
declare the articles by which this grant was
ceded to the government a nullity, and take in
the whole property, compel the government
to vacate the ground now covered by the hotel
In this event, it is stated. the government would
have to order expensive buildings constructed by
private parties taken away, and the latter could
then in turn sue the government and obtain
