SPECIAL TO THE EUREKA DAILY SENTINEL.


Opinions OF the Eastern Press.
New York, March 8.
The Times" to-day, referring to the
agitation in California over the failure Of
the nti-Chinese bill, says Our friends on
the other side Of the continent should re-
fleet that though the case be as desperate
as they declare it is, there must be other
forms of its treatment than that which
they so vehemently urge upon our &C.
ceptance.
The "Herald" prints a letter from Wong
Chong, the educated Chinese merchant Of
Boston, who says l claim for my country
men the right to come to this country as
long as other foreigners do. II they make
themselves a nuisance. establish proper
health laws and enforce them, and if they
don't like them let them so back home
again; but they must conform to the Amer
lean idea Of law and order il they wish to
stay.
The Tribune thinks the veto is so
framed that the people Of California, over
wrought as they are on the subject, could
hardly take umbrage at 1t. The President
takes no issue with the statistics or the
pictures drawn OF the demoralizing effects
OF the Chinese upon the Caucassians, but
shows that the bill was virtually q denun-
citation of part Of the treaty, and would,
therefore, instantly terminate the obliga-
lions Of both countries under the compact.
The Veto.
WASHINGTON, March 2.
The veto Of the Chinese Immigration
bill was sent to the Capitol ON Saturday
evening, Congress holding a night session.
1t was based on the ground Of want of
| etiquette to the Chimes Government, due
| notice of the ~abrogation of the treaty not
having been given.
New York, March 2.
The ''Times" says Of the veto message
| that it is not difficult to recognize Evarts
in one of his happiest and least expansive
moods of composition. There are por-
tions, however, alluding with unnecessary
politeness to the Presidents confidence
that Congress will maintain public faith
and public honor, which the House by
| 100 to 95 voted to refuse to do, that seem
to betray Mr.. Hayes amiable touch.
There are many heather Cinnamon wor-
shipping their idols in California, Beecher
said to-day, who in the sight Of God
are far better than these big, red-mouthed,
whisky-drinking fellows who are persecut-
ing them. The audience applauded.
what Eastern Preachers Say of the
Chinese Question.
NEW YORK, March 3.
Besides Beecher, several popular preach
ers here and in Brooklyn embodied allu-
lions to the Chinese question in their SER
mons yesterday. Among them was DR..
Eggleston, who said that in the Middle
Ages the brutal treatment Of Jews was due
to race prejudice, such as exists against
the Chinese on the Pacific Coast. DR..
Fuller, recently expelled from the Baptist
Association discoursed on the dangers
from Romanism and the cowardice of the
Baptist clergy. He said it is time to
speak out when a leading Baptist minister
sends a telegram to the President Of the
United States saying that il the Chinese
come to this land, Christianity may be put
out. God wants drawer and better men
and churches than those on the Pacific
slope and Atlantic States.

the select Senate committee, appointed at
| the instance Of Senator Matthews in June

full consideration, they find unanimously

Of the matters referred to in the testimony
before the Potter Committee.
Mr. Evarts to be;Minister to London.
New YORK, March 8.
The gossips here have it to-day that Mr..
Evarts will be nominated Minister to Lon
don in place of Mr.. WEIGH, whom they say
wants to come home. 1t is said that Mr..
Evarts has become weary of the State De-
partment, and hat he prefers two years in
London. This report is, however, a mere
rumor, on which not much dependence
should be placed.
