Chinese in the San Joaquin Valley
Being Driven Out.
SAN FRANCISCO, Aug. 28-Excite-

Chinese still continues, but there have
been no explosions of violence such as
were feared Saturday night. Most of
the places have no telegraph service
after = o'clock in the evening, so it is
impossible to say wheather the threats
made at Barkersville and other places
have beea carried out. Barkersville is
patrolled by armed guards and any at
tempt at violence would end in blood
shed.
At Fresno a force of deputy sheriffs
prevents trouble, but the mob of $40
unemployed will surely make trouble.

is amply sufficient to insure q good crop

in the north. central and northeast por-
ton of the state. Pastures are much
improved and the ground is in splendid

SMALL GRAIN SHIPMENT
Real Cause of the Great Falling
Of in Railroad Earnings
Apparent.
Wheat Traffic So Far This Sea,
son but a Fraction of For
mer Years.

NEW YORK, Aug. 23-To those who
are curious to discover the cause of the
great falling off in Western railroad
earnings, the returns of the present
crop movement will be enlightening.
The enormous stock of wheat in city
storage warehouses-even now nearly
double what it was year ago-has
thus far met a continuously heavy ex-
port d emand. But it is noticeable that
the shipments from the farms to the
great interior receiving points have
meantime fallen to small fraction Of
their average. At points such as To-
ledo and Duluth, which thus far in the
season have been the chief source of
New York's supply, the stock on hand
shows rapid shrinkage; daily carload
receipts meantime falling to less than
one-third of last years record.
Chicago received by the or anger roads
last week barely one-sixth the quantity
of wheat it took in the same week of
1892, and though this special decrease
is largely due to the city's determined
boarding of it's own existing wheat
stock,
The Effect Upon Railroad Traffic
is, of course, none the less serious The
shrinking in supplies at the large CEN
tiers of distribution suggests that the
supply on farms will soon be impera-
lively needed. The full awkwardness
of the monetary break down is pretty
certain to be felt. Much of the recently
imported gold has doubtless already
gone West to supply the needs which
the New York banks have usually met,
and to that extent the problem may find
solution, At present, however. freight
traffic in the wheat region continues in
q state of almost complete paralysis.
It is meantime noticeable and encour.
aging that the traffic in both corn and
smaller grains holds up in ample vol
ume. But for this fact the Burlington
directors might very possibly last week
have acted otherwise on their dividend.
But since it has proved possible to
move the corn in quantity to market,
it may be counted on that some means
will be found to move the wheat
