Astoria Becomes a Port for the
Landing of Chinese.

PORTLAND. Or, Aug. &C. W. John
son, special agent of the Treasury De-
partment, returned from Astoria to-day,
where lie had been engaged in investig
the manifold populations of the Chinese
The attention of the Treasury Depart
ment has been directed to the number OF
Chinese merchants coming from China,
all claiming to be engaged in business at
Astoria. The number was out of all pro-
portion to the Chinese residents there.
While IN Astoria Special Agent johnson
secured the names of all the Chinese
stores and the number of partners at
tached to each which will be used as ref
erence when the next lot OF alleged mer-
chants claim right to land.
Agent johnson also discovered that
there was considerable smuggling going on
and succeeded in capturing box supposed
to contain miscellaneous goods shipped
from Astoria to a Shoalwater Bay port.
1t contained six boxes OF opium and some
bottles of cOntraband gin, all OF WDlcn
were seized. One result Of the extra pre-.
caution being taken 20 prevent the illegal
landing of Chinese is that the passenger
business on the steamer plying between
this aud British Columbia ports has be-
come demoralized. Tbs Signal reached
Astoria on Saturday without single
Chinese aboard, although 1t was expected
that she would bring at least forty "mer-
chants" Unless the passenger business
is sustained, the steamer can hardly pay
expenses and it may withdraw from the
route.

BIG WITH INTEREST TO US.
HUNTINGTON WANTS TO BUY 1T.
A Road Only 2O5 Miles Long Which
Greatly Shortens the Distance
TO New York.

The Tehuantepec Railroad, connecting
the Pacific with the Atlantic Ocean, begun
fifteen years ago, is just now completed
and ready for inspection by the Govern
ment officials of Mexico.
The work has been so long under way
that even business men whose interests it
deeply affects have lost track Of it. and the
news Of its completion comes with some
thing of the effect of a revelation.
Fori it is considered by wideawake mer-
chants that scarcely too Euch importance
can be attached to it in these days of the
throttling of commerce by a railroad
monopoly and of the deferred hope Of the
Nicaragua canal.
The Tehuantepec Railroad touches the
Pacific at Salina Cruz, passes through a
region fertile with tropical products. and
reaches the Gulf of Iexico at COatZacoal-
cos. From water to water 1t is 200 miles
and its highest grade reaches but 200 feet
above the sea.
1t cuts off about one-third of the dis
lance to New Orleans and one-ffth of the
distance TO New York.
How much this means to the merchants
and shippers Of san Francisco can hardly
be said.

The completion of the last division of
the road was undertaken last Novem Der
by j. Hampson of Kansas City and Chan
dos Stanhope of England, the Mexican
Congress having appropriated $4,000, 900
for the purpose. The entire road was
very costly, as much of it passes through

changes, have caused the long delay.
Besides this road there are three other
roads which it is expected will soon be

the Pacific. These are the Mexico, Cuer-
