L'ARS NATIVEBOHN.
San Francisco School Ooard Shuts
Door on Chinese.
San Francisco, Aug. 31. 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

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."

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

Vancouver. Hi. C, Sept. 1. A spe

have given the company this week ts

of settling the strike or have the en
tire system tied up. The committee
in Montreal represents not n'y the
machinists, bodermakcrs and carmen
on strike, but also the engineers, fire
men, conductors and trainmen. It
seems to be a fight between the
unions and the Canadian Pacific rait
way, the company having made up its
mind to test their strength
