roring the adoption Of monetary svs.

for the protection OF b.mctallisn,. Should

The German Chancellor and leading Ger

been using extraordinary cndeavors to Sc.

the editorials above referred to have con.

mining boom. 1t is going to b. In Nevada

the mining quotations Of two months past
and you will find stocks in those localities
steadily advanced. The people are afraid

MAD CHINESE.
n Probability Of the Destruction Of Com.
mercial Relations with theC.S.

The New York Mail and Express pub
fishes the following interview with Ching
Hoey, the Chinese consul in that cjty
based upon a st. Louis dispatch saying
that the Chinese Imperial government,
contemplated retaliatory measures ON ac.
count OF the treatment accorded the Chi.
nese subjects in this country. He saws i:
- canr ot say that am advised that an
imperial proclamation has been issued
compelling all the Cinnamon in this coun.
"y TO return home, but l can say that the
cons" general at San Francisco Ia, sent
notices advising all the Cinnamon to leave.
whether the government is at the back Of
sn's cannot say. As to the suggestion
OF retaliation, have no doubt that meas.
ures Of this kind will be taken bv orr
government. II the Cinnamon are driven
out and outraged here, why cannot our
people drive out all the Americans fr,un
China? The good name Of this country
has been disgraced by the recent outrages.
and the question becomes very serious
There is no protection to n China,nan at
ALL but American merchants and mission.
aries are well treated in China, and the
government takes prompt action, not only
paying damages but redressiny wrong
done them. What I don't understand Is
why the sood people in the east here re.
main silent. 1t certainly was not the in.
tcnt'on OF congress that the merchants and
others should be treated in this way. II
nothing is done, the commerce between
the two countries amounting to Sso,ooo,.
ooo annually, will be destroyed.

The Cut Ra4os,

The overland railroad war CROWN. ou
OF the dissolution Of the Transcontincnta tai
Association was instituted on Monday in
thoroughly aggressive way, both as tc
passenger and freight traffic. All the lines
running West and Southwest from Chi.
cago having California connections, are
booking passengers to San Francisco at $7o
for first.class unlimited; $50 for f.st.class
limited; 81. for second.class and emisrant
This is reduction Of about $35 OH first.
class rates.
y prominent railroad official, in com
lnenting ON the situation said the action
cf the Pacific roads in announcing the sale
Of unlimited tickets at reduced rate
meant that the old tariff would probably
never again be imposed, a, the present rate
allowed them nearly three cents mile,
which was an equitable return for so long
q haul.
The Northern Pacific Railroad has is.
sued the following table of passenger rates
from St. Paul to Portland: First-class un.
limited SIS; limited sos; and emigran.
$35. There are no new developments in
regard to the Pacific Mail Company.
The Union Pacific Railway is out in the
market with concession in rates from
Chicago TO Portland. which is equivalent
to the reduced rates now in force to San
Francisco. The reduction went into effect
on Monday and extends from IS per cent
on high class goods to IS per cent on
lower grades. It is also reported that the
Atchison, Topeka & Santa Fe have two,
steamers at San Diego now ready to carry
lreish: up to San Francisco. This move
will compete in 4 measure will. the steam !
ship line, whose interests are identified !
with the Oregon Railway and Navigation
Company.
The difficulties growing out OF! the dis
upton of the Transcontnental ASsocia-
ion are increasing, and the cutting OF rates,
t is said, will be something phenomenal.
