City At toriiry Long has furnished the board of education an opinion dealing with the qurttiou of the admissibility 01 native-born Chinese children to nub lie schools other than schools estab lished for them. In brief, he holds that the question nf nativity has no bearing on the case; that Chinese children are Mongolians, irrespective of birthplace, and that if special schools of equal standing are not pro vided for them, they are entitled to attend any school The opinion is given in response to a query from the board of education with reference to the request of the parents of three native-born Chinese maidens who wished their daughters to attend schools other than the Oriental school. The political code provides that every school shall be open for the admission of all children between 0 and 21 years of age, residing in the district. '1 his section also authorizes boards of education to establish sep arate schools for Indian, Chinese or Mongolian children, and provides that when such schools are established, such children must not be admitted to any other school. The object of the law is clearly to segregate the white children of the public school from those of Mon golian or Indian descent, and is not to deny the latter any of the equal rights guaranteed by the constitution. WOMEN TO BLAME. All They Live for lsaTo Dress, Says HettyiQreen. Ilellows Falls, Vt . Aug 31. "The women of America have helped to make hard times All they live for, all they care for, is clothes the latest shape fn skirts And they are none loo particular how they get what they want, or who pays for it " Jin it the declaration of Hetty Green, the richest woman in the world, who today began her annual vacation of a month. When dinner was announced on the train, she pro duced an apple and three crackers from her reticule and cheated the dining car. "1 do not say the American women are immoral," she continued, "but they do not care what fearful prices their husbands, fathers and brothers may be compelled to pay for their iiiicry nines arc oau in .rw 1 orK, and New York deserves hard times. All arc spendthrifts and money-wasters down there. "This will be a hard winter, and we will not see good times before spring The election will not help. The panir must run its course Money men arc doing nothing to stop it. Standard Oil could stop the hard times with one stroke of the pen. but Rockefeller will not do it. It will cost the gov ernment JUMMWOflo to collect that ltrS.000,000 from him." ARMY OF GUARDS NEEDED. Yellowstone Park Tourists at Mercy of Robbers. St Paul, Aug 31 "The entire United Stales army will be needed to insure travelers in the Yellowstone Park against holdup. A thousand men would be required. The main road alone is 130 miles long, and it takes stagr coaches four days to make the rounds." Itrigadicr General Winfield S. Ed gerly. commanding the department of Dakota, so expressed himself today. He was in the park last Monday when the latest "lone robber" relieved the purses of 10 tourists. The general returned to St. Paul yesterday. "The present arrangements for pro tecting the park and its visitors." General F'dgrrlv continued, "would appear to be as effective as any that can be made with the small garrison. I'ort Yellowstone has only four troops, about men of the Eighth cavalry, under Major Henry T Allen The horsemen of this single squadron manage at mat to traverse the entire length of the main road, the road usually followed by the coaches, at least once a day Then there arc de tached parties or single men going back and forth on special errands, so that the coach road is guarded far more closely than are any of our rail road lines "The only respect wherein the gov ernment would seem to have incurred any responsibility for the holdup is. as civilians have assured me, that it prohibits nark visitors from carrying any firearms with them unless the arms arc sealed so they cannot be used. "I understand that although the robber is said to be in the Jackson Hole country, where he is safe for a time, the history of such events has proved that he will be caught." Puglla Leaves Seattle. Seattle, Wash., Aug 31 Dipping her enugn in token of farewell, the Italian cruiser Puglia. which arrived in port Tuesday from Vancouver, raised her anchor Saturday morning and slipped out of the bay and down the sound on her way to Portland.

PORTLAND IN LEAD At Head of Great Wheat Shipping Ports of Country. MILLIONS OF BUSHELS IN A DAY Chicago, Always Considered Largest Receiving Portland, Left. Behind by Oregon Metropolis. Portland, Sept. 1. Portland today is the greatest wheat shipping port in tiic country, over transportation lines corning into the city mire wheat was sent in than to any other ship ping port in the United States. The shipping records for Portland show that Xlo cars of export wheat were received in the city. This Is near.y double the record of 113 cars estab luhed Saturday last, when the wheat shipping records of the port were shattered. On several different occasions re cently Portland shipments have topped those of Chicago, which is the record wheat shipping port of the world The Saturday shipment of 11.1 cars went ahead of the Chicago receipts and established Portland as a record holder Today's record, how ever, puts Portland far in the lead, even over Chicago, and establishes the pre-eminence of the port as a wheat shipping center of w rld wide importance The rapid climb in the size of the shipments is shown by the record of 63 cars for Friday last, not a small shipment by any means l-iguring trom a basis ot 310 cars shipment, it is seen that approximate ly 79,mk sacks of wheat reached Port land, since there are on an average of 3K) sacks to the car The sacks as they are shipped from the field weigh from too to 110 pounds to the sack. ustimating the average weight ti be 105 pounds to the sack, it will be seen that a great flood of 8,379 000 pounds, or 144,-105 bushels of grain, reached the city The aver age price of the wheat is 02 cents a bushel, making the aggregate value of the shipment alone reach the enor mous sum of tl,SSS,0S0. To put the vast shipment in a shape where its size can be readily grasped, it might be noted that the 210 cars which reached the city, if put together in one train, would reach in a solid line for 1 3-3 miles. ULTIMATUM IN STRIKE. Canadian Pacific Employes Threaten General Walk Out. Vancouver. Hi. C, Sept. 1.
