Chinese colony, similar to that which
once existed in San Francisco. has
been discovered here by city officials.
Seattle orientals, by burrowing under
buildings, sidewalks and alleys, have
succeeded in excavating heretofore

rooms in which gambling and opium
smoking is carried on.
Many of the rooms are lighted by
electricity. Some of the passageways
extend for half block or more, many
feet under sub-cellars and sidewalks.
Here, with little or no ventilation.

CHINESE FIGHT
FOR HOMESTEAOS
TROUBLE AT PACIFIC GROVE
INCREASING
Attempts Of Citizens to Drive celes-
tials Away From Former Haunts
May Lead to international
Controversy
BY AssocIate ted Press.

by ASSoClated ITeSS-
PACIFIC GROVE, May 22.--The sem
sational condition over the site OF
Chinatow.., destroyed last week by fire,
threatens to assume international pro-
portions.
OFFICIALS Of the Pacific Improvement
company have for months desired to
eject the Chinese from their pictur-
esque village east of Pacific Grove.
The connagration seemed to furnish
an opportunity and on Saturday the
company fenced the road used by the
public for twenty years by which ac-
cess to the place is obtained.
Before next morning this fence was
torn down, but was restored by the Pa
CifiC Improvement company which
then posted five armed guards includ-
ing r. A. Woodworth.
Meanwhile they commenced the re-
construction of dwellings with canvas
and such material as was at hand.
M. Prior land agent for the COM
pany, and his guards proceeded to de-
molsh these dwellings and he and
Woodwork were arrested by Mon
terey constables and hailed before JUS
tice Michaelis, charged with misde-
meanor. The time for the trial has
not yet been set.
Chinese Arrested
AS a retalatory measure, this morn
ing thirteen Chinese, one Chinese wo-
man and one white were arrested and
brought to Justice PelPs court,
charged with malicious mischief.
This afternoon Sheppard, the Pa
cific Improvement company's mana
ger, appeared on the scene and or
dered the place fenced in tight, re-
fusing t-y to lumber teams. The
water was also shut off.
The Chinese, determined to maintain
their rights, expect the arrival to-
night of the consul and Chinese min
lister from Washington, who have been
staying in oakland.
Their claim to the land dates back
from 1914, since when they allege they
have had continuous possession.
Five special constables have been
sworn in to protect the comparly's S
Chinatown property and at present
they possess the road. Col. Manns,
commandant of the Preside, rode down
to Chinatown and was stopped by an
armed deputy, and witnessing the con-
duct of the other deputies, threatened
to report the same to the United States
authorities.

Shipping Away Wealth.

The editor Of the Southern Farm
Magazine says:
The constant shipment OF cattle to
Cuba leads the Florida Times-Union
to estimate the impoverishment of
the soil thereby, and to urge the
slaughtering Of cattle and the utiliza-
ton Of skin, bones, horns, ets., within
Bile limits Of the state. 1t makes the
point that every full-grown steer sold
out of Florida carries in his bones
beyond recall an appreciable quantity
of that which is the very bone Of the
land in the shape of phosphates and
lime. It says that with one hand it
sends forth beef with the hides, bones
and ofal, constituting the most val
liable source Of fertilizer, and with
the other it purchases from the North
dressed beef, prepared fertilizers,
shoes and other articles made Of
leather. It shows that the hides
could be converted into leather on the
spot, with tannin derived from the
red mangrove, that the slaughtered
beAves would supply all the plaster
er's hair needed in several states and
large quantities Of glue and that the
establishment of factories dealing
with these materials would attract
capital, the breed Of stock would be
improved, the-value Of grazing lands
would be enhanced, and the popula-
tion Of the State increased. These
are wise suggestions, and apply to
other States besides Florida. But
how soon are they to be adopted!
How soon will Alabama, Mississippi
and other States cease to ship their
young stock to Kansas to be fed there
and brought back to the starting point
in the shape Of dressed beef, boots
and shoes, whips, saddles, harness,
combs, collar buttons, glue and divers
others products? When will they ap~
ply to cattle the idea Of whole hog
rather than one-third hog?
