WIN MacMahon Resigns


Paris, Jan. 29.-Everything indicates
that President MacMalon will resign.
1t may be considered that he has al
ready morally done so. The probable
course of events is as follows: To-
morrow the government will formally
announce the situation to the chambers
and report the presidents refusal to
sign the DEGREES respecting great mill
tary commands. The senate and cham
ber of deputies will pass votes of conf
dence in the ministry, who will thus be
obliged to press their demands on Mac
Mahon for changes in the staff of gen.
erals. A joint congress of the senate
and chamber of deputies will after
wards be summoned to nominate new
president.
Much excitement prevails in Paris,
but there has been no disturbance.

Pope Leo's Liberality.

New York, Jan. 29.-Several papers
publish Pope Ieo's encyclical letter in
full. 1t is preceded by telegram to
the following effect: The papal ency-
clical is the great subject of talk to-
day. The whole of it was, am told,
written by Leo XIII. himself, and much
of it gives hopes of great change from

doubt that the present pope is far more

Opinions on the Chinese Bill.
San Franc isco, Jan. 20.-The cham
Der of commerce has just adopt
ed Q memorial to congress, asking the
passage of Mitchell's bill, authorizing
another revenue cutter for Alaska.
The leading journals comment on the
passage by the house of the anti-Chi-
nese hill. The Call congratulates the
community on the action of the house,
and claims that the senate cannot re-
fuse prompt passage without throw
ing away all chances of republican VIC
tory in California in the next congress
sional election.
The Post approves the measure, and
argues that the manner in which the
affair was managed through transient
democratic success will not affect the
relative status of parties in California
in the coming election.
The Alta is silent.
The Chronicle contents itself with a
brief editorial review of the nature of
the bill and its management by the
democratic members.
The Bulletin considers that the bill
will solve the troublesome industrial
problem, and dwells strongly on the
protection it will afford against epidem-
les, citing the plague now prevailing in
the orient and previous small pox visi-
tation to this coast. It believes the
senate, by promptly passing the bill,
can deprive the democracy of any ad-
vantage they may have gained in the
house.
The Sacramento Record Union char
acterizes the manner of the passage Of
the bill as a desperate effort on the
part Of the democrats to recover lost
prestige In California, and the bill itself
as a glittering generality, which should
be repudiated, together with the party
that offers it.
The Examiner approves the bill, Civ
ing the democracy mainly credit for its
passage.
Local representative of the demo-
cratic party are jubilant oyer the action
II the house, and claim that the bilfNis
strictly democratic measure. :
The republicans regard It as an at.
tempt to. make democratic capital, but
are grateful for it as restrictive meas
ure.
Kearney calls it a mere political
dodge, and says congress would never
have touched the question but for cam
paign purposes.
The ex-minister to China, F. f. Low,
believed the bill would be of little prac-
tical effect, as the Chinese could lie
landed in British Columbia. and thence
make their way to California. He
looked upon the measure as an attempt
on the part of certain politicians to OBJ
tain the support of the sand lots.
At the Chinese consulate the bill is
considered antagonistic with treaty
provisions, and is likely to result
in complications with Great Britain.

Sherman VS.. Arthur.

New York, Jan. 29.-The 1ritmae's
Washington correspondent states that
Secretary Sherman says he can success
fully and strongly refute every point in
Gendral Arthur's answer to his charges
against his administration of the GUS
tom house business in New York. The
reason he has not made public his rea-
sons for the removal heretofore, is that
he was unwilling to cast unnecessary
stigma on the previous republican ad-
ministration, which failed to prevent
these frauds on the revenue; but now
that Conkling and his friends have
sought the fight, the world shall have
all the scandalous details.

Boosting the Chinese Bill.

Washington, Jan. 29.-The bill re-
stricting Chinese immigration was
received from the house and laid
before the senate this afternoon. On
Sargent's motion 1t was referred to
the foreign relations committee. Sar-
gent accompanied his motion with re-
marks, especially inviting attention to
it and expressing hope that it be re-
ported back promptly, the COMMITTEE
having had a similar bill before them
during the whole of the present con-
gress. If the COMMITTEES does not report
the bill back to the senate next week,
Sargent will move to discharge the
committee from its further considera-
tioh, and is confident it will re-
ceive Q majority vote in the senate
whether the committee recommend
its passage or not. All the other Paci-
fic coast senators share this confidence,
but will use their utmost to make its
passage absolutely certain.
