Press Comments on the San Francisco
Situation.
CHICAGO, March 10th.-The Inter Ocean
says: Dispatches from San Francisco an
nounce that the substantial portion of the
community, representing the solid business
interests and industrial classes, have revoited
against the domination of Denis Keasney and
the kindred spirits of the sand lot. These
gentry, who have counseled violence, and
who, while carefully holding themselves.
aloof. have directed the organization of
armed bodies among their followers, are now
confronted by counter organization that
evidently will fight if fighting is necessary.
The terrorism that has been attempted in San
| Francisco manifestly will not be tamely toll
/ Grated. The experience of the substantial part
of the community in Kidding the city by the
historic Yigilantes of the rule of rrffianism
has not been forgotten. When threatened with
violence and incendiarism the community
knows how TO defend ITSELF Such, mani
testify is the Specification of the organization
of the Citizens Protective Union" That
it viii have the effect, by the very fact of its
existence, to insure public peace, seems most
/ probable. That it viii proceed to any initis-
tive measures, such forcing Kearney to
quit California, which is intinated, may be
set down as highly improbable. But few
days must develop the outcome of the situa-
ton, which can hardly longer be maintained
as at present
NEW York, March 10th.-The Ereaing
Telegram, commenting on the San Francisco
citizens manifesto, says: Now at length
San Francisco society perceives that COM
nunity is an organism, of which one member
cannot suffer without affecting all the rest.
The curses Of its hoodlumism have come home
to roost. The cowardice of its responsibility
has brought dishonor upon American civiliza-
ton.
The Post thinks it is plainly only another
| way Of saying that neither now nor twenty
five years ago. have the local officers elected
in San Francisco been what they should be.
If those officers had been were now, what
they should be, there would have been no
need for either Vigilance Committee a
Protective Union. Society may be defended
in 1880, as in 1856, by an expedient whose
illegality may be excused by it's necessity,
bpt the expedient must always be pronounced
a deplorable one that sets aside or acts indie
pendently of law.
The Commercial says: All this means one
thing-one thing only-and that is fixed
resolution to put down hoodlumism and Kear-
neyism by any means it may be found neces-
sary to employ. California is saved. There
is no longer question about it. Capital is
being withdrawn. The mining interest has
begun to center in New York and n general
feeling of apprehension is growing The bet
ter class of people are at last waking up to q
sense of the serious blunder that has been
committed.

ceiyed, states that the treasure has been re-
covered except $1,000. 1t was found under

made the run to Sidney-lO2 miles-in two
hours. The detectives were soou at work
seeking a clue. 1t was ascertained that the
mounted party going north were stockmen
well known and above suspicion Superin-
tendent Law has now in active search for the
robbers every available man at that end of
the division, ard hopes to bring the guilty
parties to speedy justice. General j. I.
! Clark, General Superintendent of the Union
Pacific Railroad, left Omaha this evening on
a special train for Sidney, where he is ex-
pected at o'clock tomorrow morning. The
bullion was taken from truck in the express
office, which adjoins the telegraph Office
The hole made in the floor of the office must
have been made by experts, as no unusual
noise was heard by the operator, who was in
the adjoining room during the absence of the
| express agent. The immense weight of the
treasure-4S0 pounds acknowledgements
| the robbers from carrying it off, and they
were compelled to conceal it at the first avail
able spot-the coal pile. The excitement in
Sidney is at fever heat, many being sus-
pected of completely in the daring deed. If
the evidence should prove strong against
some of those suspected, it is thought that
Nebraska will be saved the expense of trial

of representatives of the five nations Of Indian
| Territory to the Judiciary Committee pro-
testing against the bill to establish a United

advocates of this bill, which is regarded as

to settlement, stoutlY conteDded that the
memorial should go to the Committee on

tual defeat of the bill above referred to. A
vote will probably be reached tomorrow.
