PERSONAL AND GENERAL.

The anti Chinese excitement in San
Francisco has been further heightened by
the concentration there Of large number OF
United States troops, under command OF
Gen. Mcdowell, by orders from Washington.
As further measure Of precaution, the
arms belonging to the militia have been re-
moved from several of the city arsenals and
placed in secure places, the reason assigned
by officials being that the arsenals and their
contents were exposed to capture by the
disorderly classes in case ola riot. Placards
are posted about the city, signed by the
"Council of Thirteen" warning employers
Of Chinese to dircharge them. The work.
ingmen are greatly agitated by the military
movements, and their leaders charge the
authorities with trying to force an outbreak.

THE "Citizens' Protective Union" is
the name of an organization formed in
San Francisco for the declared object of
preserving the peace and protecting life
and property. The membership is un-
derstood to be large, but the names of
those officially connected with it are
not made public. Mayor Kalloch has
published q proclamation, declaring
hat there is not the slightest
reason to apprehend any dis
turbance from the working classes,
that the public are deceived by incendi-
airy misrepresentation as to the situa-
ton, and that the most outrageous
means are being used by designing men
to provoke an outbreak. The Bulletin
and Chronicle commend the formation
of the Citizens Committee, while the
Gall, Alta and Post oppose it as unnec-
essary and unpolitic.

protection without adopting measures ON this
continent which the United States would
deem wholly inadmissible. If the protection OF
the United States Is relied upon, the United
States must exercise such control as will ena-
BILE this country to protect its national
interests and maintain the rights OF
those whose private. capital Is embarked
in the work. An inter oceanic canal
across the American Isthmus will essentially
change the geographical relations between
the Atlantic and Pacific coasts of the United
rest of the world. It will be the great ocean
thOrouRhfare between our Atlantic and Pacific
shores. and virtually part of the coast line
of the United States. Our merely commercial
interest TN it is greater than that of all other
countries, while it's relations to our power
and prosperity as nation, to our means OF
defense, our unity, peace and safety,
are matters of paramount consideration
to the people of the United States.
No other great power would, un
der similar circumstances, fail to assert
rightful control over q work so closely and
vitality affecting its interests and welfare.
Without urging further grounds of my opin-
ion, repeat, in conclusion, that it is the
right and duty of the United States to assert
and maintain such supervision and au-
thOrity over any inter oceanic canal across
the Isthmus that connects North and South
America as will protect our national inter-
ests. This am quite sure will be found not
only compatible with, but promotive of, the
widest and most permanent advantage to
commerce and civilization.

A DARING robbery of gold bullion &C.
cured at Sidney, Neb., on the 10th. En-
trance was'effected through the floor of
the express Office while the agent was at
dinner, and four hundred and eighty
pounds of bullion, which had just come
in on. the Black Hills treasure-coach,
was carried off. Fortunately the weight
of the treasure was too great for the
robbers to carry any distance, so they
secreted the most of it in a coal pile
where it was soon afterward found. 1t
is estimated that they cleared about
$4,000 by the operation should they
not be captured.

the Office of Assistant Secretary of the
Treasury because, as q candidate for
nomination to the Office of Governor of
Illinois, he felt it due to himself and
friends to give more time to the canvass
than he was able to do in Office. So
says late Washington dispatch, as if
by authority.
The general election to be held
throughout Great Britain on account of
the dissolution of Parliament will be the
first since 1874. The canvass will be a
short one. The present Parliament will
be dissolved March oath; the writs or
dering q new election will be issued next
day; thh elections will take place
some time in April, and the new
Parliament will assemble in May.
In the present House the Conservatives
have fifty majority. The election will
be holly contested, and while the Lib
erals are apparently sanguine Of secur-
ing a majority in the new Parliament,
the Conservatives rely confidently upon
maintaining their supremacy, as is evil
denced by the fact of new election be-
ing ordered at this time.
The Ways and Means Committee, on
the 18th, gave hearing to several New
York newspaper publishers, in regard
to removing the duty of twenty per cent.
imposed on wood pulp. They claimed
it was owing to the advance of from
twenty-five to fifty per cent. in the price
of pulps, and to the combinations of
paper manufacturers, chiefly in the
West, that the price of paper had ad-
vanced from five and half to six cents
per pound (the price last year) to nine
and half and ten cents, now charged.
It was also claimed that it was the same
combination of paper-makers that
forced the price of paper to 26 and %
cents per pound during the war that
had now caused an advance of above so
per cent, and that if no restrictions
were placed upon them they might force
the price even to war figures. The
manufacturers present denied the ex-
istence of a combination to enhance the
price, and claimed the advance was en-
tirely regulated by the law of supply and
demand.
