The deal is one of first magnitude and the account of it published by The Call this morning will create a sensation in the business world, and es- pecially among realty owners and dealers. Not only must the raflroad company pay | a vast sum for the various pieces of land, valuable as manufacturing and warehouse gites, but hundreds of thousands of dol- this property prices would jump to a very high figure. So fearful has been the president of the Southern Pacific of the fact that his com- pany was after the property leaking out that he has not gone near the coveted blocks in the daytime, but made an in- spection of them after nightfall.

By remanding the Chinese “native sons” to China after preliminary examination he forces all Celestial “citizens” who want to remain in the United States into the Federal courts. There is still another phase of this great question which remains unsatisfac- ttled. There are still scores in the detention shed on the Mail_dock, remaining there contrary to law but as a source of great profit to the Pacific Mail Steams) Company. How long does Ce tor Jackson intend to | mit these Chinese to remain there? hiE der what possible construction of the law can he under any cifcumstance permit a coolie to leave the vessel except by writ of habeas corpus when he claims to be a “native born”? The Treasury Departs ment has ruled that Chinese aliens may be placed temporarily on the dock when the steamship company binds itself to pay 3500 for the loss of every Chinese That is a_cheap way of landing coolie: but does Collector Jacksonl think th: when the Treasury Department said that Chinese allens may be placed temporarily on the dock it meant that coelies could be placed for an indefinite time on shore?

She board more than 40 Chinese. Collector Jackson intend to permit all of these coolies, ‘“native sons™” and the rest to march on shore and allow the ship to g0 to sea without them?

The addition of 400 boarders will mean an increase of $200 a day or 36000 a month in revenue to the Pactfic Mail.
