Tho Chinoao question In California has
been brought 10 tho attention Of tho United
States Government by citizens Of that State
who arc Interested in nverting shetareatened
outbreak, and who nro exceedingly anxious
to secure Feaoral interference to that end.
Attorney General DEyExs haa the matter
under adviscmont by requcs. Of tho prasi-
don't, will, view to determining rs to tho
duties and powers OF the Government in the
promises. It is urged TINT tho intervention
sought is warranted By tho obligation rest
ing upon tho United States undor the treaty
with China to protect tho 31ongo1iana In
California from violence and persecution,
but tho Attorney Genernl incliues to tho
opinion that, while the terms OF tho treaty
undoubtedly cali for such intcrfer-
cnco md protection, no low has
been passcd by Congress which would
authorize Federal action, and that mono eau
be legally taken except upon cali for assist
anco by tho State authorities. It Ia not ill.,
likely TINT tho President may address a
special message to Congress on the subject,
asking for tho passage Of tho Inv that Is
necessary to enable the Government to fulfill
ita part Of tho treaty obligations. Mean-
while tho solid business interests Of the ra-
cifia Coast are greatly alarmed at tho pros
poet of trouble ahead-trouble tint will not
only bring bloodshed snd eonGagras!on to
their doors, l,ut result in tncalculablo loss
through the almos. complete suspension OF
trade relations with China. In Washington
the situatiou in California is represented as
being far more critical than It Is n,ade to aT,-
| pear in tho San Francisco dispatches.

eats cry for tho reconciliation Of silver, and
whose sentiment exacts this action % mere
