The Chinatown Nuisance.

SAN FRANcIsco, March &c. The 80 days
notice of the condemnation of Chinatown ex-
pired to-day, but the board Of health has as
vet taken no action. As near as can be
learned the board has no other power than TO
cause the enforcement Of existing laws re-
garding nuisances and overcrowding. Laws
and ordinances relating to the former bear
more heavily upon property owners than on
occupants of the buildings, and were they en-
forced strictly the Caucasian property owners
of Chinatown would suffer more than the
Chinese. 1t is hardly possible to make any
arrests. as there is no place to keep prisoners,
the jails already being full to overnowing.
Denial.
The evening papers publish the following
card to the public:
We desire tn state that no negotiations are
going on and no communications whatever
are being had between this committee and
representatives Of the sand lots, all rumors
and statements to the contrary notwithstand-
ing.

The New York Democracy.
The regular democratic State committee
and the Tammany State committee met at
different places here this afternoon. to decide
upon the date and place for holding State
conventions.
Tammany State committee met in secret
session this afternoon. 1t seemed to be the
general feeling of politicians present that
they are utterly opposed to Tilden.
The democratic State committee met this
afternoon to fix the time and place for hold
ing the State convention. A form of call
was adopted for sending delegates to the
State convention. but time and place left va
cant. The call declares that all democratic
differences should be forgotten in order that
all might unite in supreme effort to save the
republic, and recommends that Irving Hall
and Tammany Hall shonld unite and jointly
elect delegates tn the State convention.

surround the city and cut off Gen. Mantaro
from help The present position of Chilian
forces will enable them to stop all overland

monitors and the result of the campaign is
awaited in Lima with anxiety. The land
forces employed are about equal in number,
but the Chilians are superior in artillery and
cavalry.
