Excitement fn Regard TO the Anti
Chinese Bill.
New YORK, February rs.
There is no abatement in the excitement
in regard to the anti Chinese bill here
| or elsewhere in the Eastern States. On the
| contrary, public interest is increasing.
| Some Washington correspondents report
| that the veto message will be finally sub
mitted to the Cabinet to-day, preparatory
to being sent to Congress, while Others
hope, and indeed. have no doubt that the
bill will intimately fail in any event,
whether vetoed or not. The journals COM
ment at great length on the question, but
advance nc new facts or arguments. Even
| the enemies of the President are disposed
to pity him, now that he is under o heavy
Ere from San Francisco on the one side,
and New York on the other. There is
rather less vehemence in the structures OF
the press to-day, in view Of the meeting in
San francisco, headed by California's
most prominent citizens, and the address
signed by q bishop and representative
~clergymen. The Eastern people are more
willing to admit that the Callfornians are
more in earnest, even if less demonstra-
tive than before, but the popular senti-
ment, which finds expression through the
public journals, has been modified in in
tensity only.
