Fate Of the Chinese Bill.
GREAT DANGER OF VETO
Numerous Petitions to the Pres

Numerous Petitions to the Pres
iient.
NEW YORK, February 10.
There is no Disgusting the fact that the
fate of the Chinese bill is as great a ques-
ton with the Eastern journals as with
those OF the Pacific Coast. Here. almost
without exception, and utterly regardless
of politics, the newspapers scout the bill
as d~ishonorable and dishonest, and every
thing relating to China or the Chinese has
suddenly received o new interest. 1t would
be impossible to reproduce a 1.-THE of the
newspaper comments and extracts which
are published here daily from all quarters,
to give the sense Of the country. The
general impression is that it is Know
Nothingism revived, with the substitution
Of the Monaghan for the Catholic Irish.
Petitions to the President to withhold his
signature to the bill are going forward from
the clergy and prominent citizens. Beecher
lectured in Boston last evening on the sub
ject, in his usual vigorous manner, taking
the ground that it made no difference to
the passenger at which end the ship in
which he sailed was bored, whether beneath
the cabin, in the stern, or in the fore
castle. II either end was bored, the ship
would sink. So Americas liberty could
not be destroyed in any n class and main
tanned in another. Two hundred and five
doctors were graduated at the University
of the city Of New York yesterday, and
the journals call special attention to the
fact that q Chinaman stood second on the
list. The wits and photographers, too, are
not idle, and miss no opportunity to ridi-
cule the bill and its adherents.
Murat Malstead Before the Senate
Committee.
WASHINGTON, February 10.
Murat Halstead, Of the Cincinnati
Commercial, was before the Senate Com
mittee on Railroads to-day. He said the
Western Union Telegraph Company had
treated the Western Associated Press with
perfect fairness, and that the newspaper
business was q private one, and the Gov
eminent had no right to interfere with it.
The Press had the same right as other citi-
zens, and they claimed that when they
built up q system of obtaining news, as
the Western Associated Press, they had the
right to the new as property.
Senator Mitchell--What do you think of
giving the railroad companies the privi-
lege Of transmitting commercial messages?
Halstead--They would do well to mind
their own business. The privilege would
country. l do not think the rules of the
newspaper and telegraph business should
be let alone.
from San Francisco Papers
limiting at Secession.
NEW York, February 10.
The "Sun's" Washington correspondence
extracts fom the San Francisco
papers, limiting at the secession of Califor-
mia from the Union, if the Chinese bill
does not become q law. The matter is
in an extremely prominent place,
but not commented on.
The .Sun's" correspondent further
says Indications multiply that Mr.. Hayes
is seriously considering a veto Of the bill
Chinese immigration. The sub
ject was not formally considered this after
noon in the Cabinet meeting, but it was
during a brief conversation, that
members-Messrs Evarts, McCrary,
and S~lierman-are opposed to the bill be-
a law. There can be no question
Of Mr.. Hayes action if these men unite to
a veto. Mr.. Evarts was for some
time on the floor Of the House to-day, and
it was the general impression that he was
to urge delay in q concurrence with
the Senate amendments, some OF which he
considers more Objectionable than the
original bill.
