Opinfens Regarding the Passage Of
The Chinese Bill.
New YoRx, February 10.
The Times Washington correspondent
says: II is reported here, on good au-
thority, that the Chinese bill recently
passed was in accord with the desire OF the
Pekin Government, and that the Chinese
Minister here has been privately employ
ing agents TO urge Its passage. II the
President fails TO veto the bill, and 1t be-
comes . law, 1t will give the Chinese .
lever in their dealings with foreigners, for
10 wears. China, with its splendid arsenals
and trained military, will soon be in q po-
sition to defy European interference. In
the meanwhile Americans will be placed at
. disadvantage With other traders. A mar
ket which might take 500, 000, 900 worth
OF American products may be closed. The
Pacific Nail Steamship Company will be
Obliged TO abandon its Asiatic branch, and
San Francisco itself will be the greatest
sufferer.
The Sun" has a leader again to-day on
the Chinese bill, declaring that it sets at
naught . solemn compact, spurns the OBJ
legations of international courtesy, casts q
reproach upon the good name OF our Dun
try, and puts an end to the distinctive
glory Of America, maintained throughout
the century, Of being an open-gated home
Of all nations. No one can suppose that
China will receive this wanton insult with
out retaliation at the hour, or in the way
to do the most harm. The trade OF San
Francisco with China is enormously greater
than with any other country in the world:
Since the opening Of the Pacific Railroad
San Francisco has become . great entire
port for the reception and distinction on
this continent Of the products OF Eastern
Asia. The writer shows that the export OF
San Francisco is also greater with emma
than with any other country, while the
presence OF such items in the list, as 3,400
boxes OF clocks, indicates that the Atlantic
seaboard has q pecuniary interest in the
Chinese question, as well as the Pacific.
The anti Chinese bill, in q word, is q mt
mate for the pension Arrears Act, and both
are s~urrenderers to d-emagogueism.
The world" this morning, lectures
Bayard and Thurman for voting for the
Chinese bill, saying: No doubt it may
have occurred to them that the next House
Of Representatives will be very closely
balanced between the Democrats and the
Republicans, and that there are a number
Of G~reepbackers in it, and that Kearney is
still . name to c~opjure with in the Land OF
Gold.
The tribune remarks in paragraphs :
Five candidates for the Presidency have
convinced themselves that they have Sc
cured the Pacific delegates, by voting that
the Chinese must 60. Some Of them may
discover that they rave been deluded.
Kearney was q failure in Massachusetts,,
but the Congress Of the United States trots
ut his heels.
The ssTimes'' says Nobody at all ia
with Chinese political affairs, will
be surprised at the statement that the Chi
nese Embassy in Washington favored the
ssage OF the immigration Restriction

concern for the welfare of its handful of
Is in this country than it has for the
insects which live and die in a day, but
the Government does concern itself with
everything that can relate to commerce..

Thinks the President Will Not vctO

New YORK, February 16.
A Washington correspondent OF the Gin
ciunati Commercial" SAYS there is little
chance Of the President v0toing the
Chinese bill. He has repeatedly expressed
himself favorable to the restriction OF
Chinese immigration. Secretary Evarts,
however, is opposed to summary repudiat
ton Of treaty obligations, and will do all
can to induce the President to veto the
