CHINESE, oAKLAND's PROBLEM.

OAKLAND. July 1S.-At a meeting
OF the directors OF the Merchants Ex-
change held last night, an attempt to
formulate a plan TO check the en-
croachments Of the Chinese of San
Francisco into desirable portions of
Oakland's residence district was care
fully considered. Since the fire large
portion of san Franciscos Chinatown
has been transplanted TO this city At
first the Orientals restricted their hab-
itation 70 the Chinatown district here,
but as more and more of the Celestials
came across the bay TO find quarters
available houses in that quarter of the
town failed TO meet the demand.
Governed by the conditions, the Chi
nese were forced to spread into the
adjoining residence district. until al
the present time the Oriental popula-
tion covers a district bounded by
Franklin street on the west and Jack
son on the east and extending from
Tenth street TO the water front.
