Mr.. Sutro Is Indignant.
THE PRESIDENT ASKED TO APPROVE THE
CHINESE BILL.
A warning TO Young Men.
rOR
A warming TO Young Men.

SAN Francisco, February II.
Adolph Sutro expresses much indigna-
ton at the action Of the mining companies
in turning water into the tunnel. He de-
nounces it as a bluff game to compel him
to accede TO their demands, and states that
1t was entirely unlocked for by him, as he
had expected to have another interview on
the subject of q compromise to-day. His
private dispatches state that about sixty
inches Of water, Of a temperature OF 130
degrees, is flowing through the tunnel,
filling it with clouds of steam, so that all
access to it is impossible, and he has conse-
quently sent orders to discharge all the
workmen. To a question as to whether
this action on the part of the mining COM
panies implied that all negotiations we're
at an end, he replied simply by a signifi-
cant gesture. He states that he is now
having papers prepared, with the view Of
obtaining an injunction from the Federal
courts against the mining companies,
which is his only recourse, as operations in
the tunnel are impossible.
The following resolution was unani-
mously adopted by the Constitutional Con-
| vention to-day, and ordered t~elegraphed to
| the President:
Whereas, As the bill for the restriction
of Chinese immigration has passed both
Houses Of Congresa, therefore be it
Resolved, That in view Of the vital i'm
| portance of such restrictive measure to the
| citizens of this State, we, the delegates Of
| the people in Constitutional Convention
assembled, do hereby, on behalf of our
selves and our constituents, most respect
fully ask the President of these United
States to approve of such bill.
The Board Of Health, at a meeting to-
day, addressed a request to the Board of
| Supervisors, that the Branch Jail may be
utilized as a hospital for prisoners from
the County Jail in case OF necessity.
The trial of j. G. Duncan, also of Sewer
Inspector Casey, and Contractors Hogan
and Noonan, has gone over for the term in
the Municipal Criminal Court.
MODESTO, February II.
On the morning of the 14th, about 8
o'clock, some young fellows were on run,
winding up at Chinatown. One Of the
party, Miles Paenter, was mysteriously
shot while i'll a Chinese house, and it was
supposed by Cinnamon, until during the
day, when Constable James Walker made
the facts known that be shot Paenter, who
fingered until this morning, when he died.

Contrary to the expectations Of its
enemies, the Chinese immigration bill
passed the United States Senate yesterday,
and now only awaits the signature Of the
President ere becoming a law. Stanley
Matthews, who has unbounded influence
with MI. Hayes, will carry his opposition
to the White House, and a veto will be
urged by leading Republican demagogues
in both Houses Of Congress, and by such
organs as the New York Tribune"
Whether such influence will deter Mr..
Hayes from signing it will soon be made
manifest. 1t is a notable fact that Bayard,
Thurman and Blaine, all presidential can
didates, voted for the bill.

made painfully aware Of the manifold in

nEGrNNIra OF THE END.

Highly emotional dramas in all first
class theaters are usually followed by q
..side-splitting'' farce. The exact object OF
this il not sufficiently clear, but 1t is the
evident intention to relieve the over
strung nerves Of those sickly sentimen-
ealists, whose feelings may have been car
sied away by the misfortunes and final
triumph Of the hero or heroine. "All the
worlds . stage" and that portion en-
brsced within the boundaries OF Eureka
has, during the past few weeks, been
treated TO an exciting drama, and the in
svitsble farce followed yesterday.
When the opponents Of railroad mon
opoly set the bali rolling. some days
since, the popular sentiment seemed to be
in their favor, and the universal opinion
apparently was that the railroad would
have to succumb. Whether the anti-mon-
opolists underestimated the strength OF the
enemy with whom they were about to cope
or whether the enemy purposely concealed
his strength, il is now useless to discuss.
Mr.. Everts made his stand in the last
ditch, took off his coat and went into the
fight without gloves, after the manner OF a
man accustomed to give and take hard
blows, and with a vim that showed he did
not mean to retreat. We have no sym
pathy with his cause, but admire his
pluck. While the advocates of q railroad
bill were wasting their time in useless
discussions, and sowing the seeds OF
d~issension by advancing conflicting
opinions, he carefully husbanded his re
sources, and wasted no ammunition in
Smelling q wood that contained no enemy.
The result Of such q contest could not long
remain in doubt, and it looks as If victory
would perch on the railroad banner. True,
the petitions that will be forwarded TO Car
SON by the opposing factions, may be as
numerously signed, and may contain an
equal number Of respectable names /; but
what Of that? John Jones favors the
enactment OF . law compelling the roads
to reduce their rates, and John Smith OPP
poses it. Our representatives are anxious
to accommodate Mr.. Jones, but are unwil-
ling to do so at the expense Of the friend
ship or political support Of Mr.. Smith, and
so they will do just what the railroad de-
sires-nothing. There is but one way to
bring this subject to q satisfactory conclu-
sion. At the next general election, let the
candidates for the Legislature be selected.
not with reference as to whether they are
Democrats or Republicans, but whether
they are railroad or anti-raifroad men.
There can be but little doubt but that in
such Q contest the railroad would be badly
beaten. Until some such course is pursued,
the people Of Nevada may growl and grum-
ble-and continue to pay the present rates
Of fares and freights.
