There Is big falling off in the num-
Der Of Chinese coming to this port sayn
the San Francisco Chronicle. At least,
that is the story told by the figures In
the Chinese immigration bureau. AT
this time last year every vessel that
landed contributed at least 125 Chinese
to the population of this country. This
year the average per boat has fallen to
twelve and Is steadily on the decrease.
The Siberia had only twelve on board.
and the next one to arrive from the
Orient is expected to have even less.
Last year 450 month were admitted
into this country. During June less
than fifty arrived. oneninth the num-
Der for the same month last year.
The reason for this. as explained by
the commissioner of immigration, Is the
reports spread through China concern
Ing the condition Of this city and coun-
try. Immediately after the earthquake

ent parts of the world We're exagger-
