vada road goes merriiy on. All the work
being done is of broad-gauge character, and
within a few months the line will be en-

miles of the Oakland road, and it is pro-
posed to push on to Walnut Creek as soon
as right of way can be obtained from Orinda
Park to this point. This is where so much
opposition was encountered before, but the
new owners are confident that the desired
privilege can be obtained without much
trouble.

CHINESE RICE.
The Decrease of PagSn Population Causes
Decliua in PIT

The Decrease of PagSn Population Causes
Decline in Price.
There has been for some time marked
falling-off in the consumption of Chinese
rice in this city. Various causes have been
assigned for this, the most plausible being
the decrease in the Chinese population of
the State.
Since the passage OF the Chinese Exelu-
sion Act the returns kept at the Chinese
Consulate tally with those of the Custom
house in putting the excess of the de-
partures Of On inese over the arrivals from
the Flowery King dom at 80. eco. There has
been, in addition. the natural decrease by
way OF death, and there Il, no doubt, con-
slant drain toward the Eastern States OF
these latter causes of decrease no record
can be kept at the Consulate, and no def
mite statistics can be obtained. Much of
the foregoing Information was furnished by
the Chinese Vlce-COnsul. As u another rea-
son which is given for the faling-off in the
demand, Is that the Chinese, after residing
in this country, TO some extent modify their
diet and substitute vegetables and potatoes,
but as to this the Vice Consul was not ir-
clined 10 commit himself
| should not like to state any definite
opinion" he added. Il think the Chinese
on first arriving in this country keeps 10 the
food TO which he has been accustomed. 1t
is possible that he atterward adopts a diet
composed TO some extent OF vegetables, per-
haps of curries and eats more meat than at
first. That is only natural, and a similar
change, under changed conditions, is proba-
bly, made by immigrants of every national
ity." What the Vice-ConsuPs personal OBJ
servation on the matter had been could not
be drawn from him.
At any rate it is agreed on every hand
that the demand has decreased considerably.
A cheaper grade. Siam or mixed rice, has,
however, advanced in price. The increase
has been about Is cents per two mats The
mat nOminally contains fifty pounds, but in
practice only reaches forty-eieht. The pres
ent price is 81 30 per two mats, and the ten
dency is still inward

FIRE LIMITS.
TIhI UNI 10.
Objections Considered to the Enlarge

Objections Considered to the Enlarge
ment of the District.
The proposed extension of the fire limits
was before the Fire Committee Of the Board
OF Supervisors yesterday, but no definite
action was taken.
Numerous protests were heard against the
new boundaries, mostly from persons who
contemplate building, but who cannot put
up costly brick buildings. The objections
urged are the same now as when the pre-
yious extension was made. Those whom it
will affect want the burden borne by some
body else-that is, they want the city
authorities to wait till they have their
buildings erected, then TO let the fire limits
be extended il 1t is deemed advisable.
The Supervisors seem to agree that the
new district outlined is rather too large,
and yet they think something should be
done to prevent the erection of so many
great wooden structures for hotel purposes.
Further consideration of the matter was
referred until after the board vacation.

SHANGHAI CERTIFICATES.
Reasons Why Collector Phelps Will Not

Keasons Why CoIIector Phelps VIII Not
Receive Them.
Collector Of the Port Phelps has trans
mtted to Washington an account of the re-
ception of Shanghai certificates at this port
and the grounds of his refusal to receive
them aud allow the Chinese to land.
1t is claimed that these certificates are be-
ing openly sold in Shanghai. and Collector
Phelps states that the certificates are ac-
compau led by the regular authorization of
the United States Consul General at Shang-
hal, but that the Chinese official parts of
the certificates are informal, not signed,
and bear prima facie evidence of fraud.
He goes behind the ConSul-GeneraIs GER
tification, and attacks the Chinese part of
the documents. The case has excited con-
siderable interest in the Chinese Consulate
in this city on account of the Chinese
stamps on the certificates which he claims
to be fraudulent
