Connection will soon be made on the San Joaquin Valley road between Visalia and Tulare, the track layers having reached a point just one mile from the latter place. It is expected that all work will be finished by Saturday next, but no trains will be run on this branch of the road until the fourteen miles of track between Tulare and Corcoran Junction will have been completed which will be by the end of next month.
 Work on the tunnel through the Contra Costa hills for the extension west from Stockton to Point Richmond Is pro- gressing as rapidly as the tedious nature of that work will allow. Of the 5700 feet to be bored, the east end is in nearly 800 feet and the west end 700 feet, thus making a total of 1900 feet, or about one- fifth of the entire length

Trouble Over a Chinese.

The Chinese Bureau is in a quandary over the case of Ginn Ben Yin, who ar rived here on the zealandia on May 2S He applied for admission to the coun- try on the claim that he was born here, but it was proven that he was born in China, and Commissioner Heacock or the time came to deport him the Pa cific Mail Steamship Company refused to carry him, as they had not brought him here, and 1t is impossible to send him to Honolulu, as he was ordered to China. The case will probably be taken to the United States courts to have the kinks strengthened out.

Some time ago Collector Jackson re- fused to land four Chinese children-Lee Ian Hing, aged 5; We Wing Tack, aged 6: Soon Cow, aged z, and Flung Tsoy, aged 10.
