Relief for the California State University
Titles 10 Mineral Lands-gnfounde;l
Rep0rt-Request Granted.
WASHINGTON, March 11th.-Senator Far
ley to-day introduced bill for the relief of
the California State University, which was
prepared and sent to him by the Regents of
that institution. L. provides for the accept
ance by the Commissioner Of the General
Land Office OF the deed dated September 4,
1873, from the State of California to the
United States, relinquishing all claim to the
lands therein described, which were applied
for by California under the Agricultural Col
lege Act, and requires all those sections to be
Cancelled, upon receipt of satisfactory evil
dence that title to said lands so relinquished
is not incumbered.
The statement telegraphed from Washing
ton last night that the House Mining Com
mittee yesterday took action upon various
specified sections of the Public Land Com
missions bill in regard to the method of
acquiring title to mineral land. the area of
mining claims, etc, was wholly incorrect.
The committee have not acted on any portion
of this bill The meeting of yesterday was
without quorum until near the hour for
adjournment. Two sections were then read
and discussed, but, together with the rest of
the bill, were left for action at the next meet
ing.
Another unfortunate report recently tele-
graphed from this city seems worthy of COR
rection, namely, that the California delega-
ton had held meeting, at which they de-
cided to do nothing at present in regard to
the condition of affairs at San Francisco.
No such meeting has been held nor have the
delegation made any agreement bearing on

request was received at the War De-
partment to-day from the California State
authorities that 300 Springfield rifles be held
at the Benicia Arsenal subject TO the order of
the Governor, in case of an emergency SEEM
ing to require their use. The request was
granted, and the appropriate order tele-
graphed.
Comments or Eastern Papers on san
Francisco Affairs.
New YORK, March 11th-The Tribune
says: The Citizens Protective Union is to
all intents and purposes Vigilance Commit
tee. There is reason to hope that the sum-
mary processes of 1856 will not now be
thought necessary. Formerly the Courts and
nearly all the municipal officers were in SYM
pathy with the criminal class. At present
the Mayor and Sheriff side with the mob.
But the Chief of Police does not. There is
no complaint of the judges or public prose-
cutors, and there is a loyal militia under the
orders of respectable Governor. These are
agencies with which the Citizens Committee
can well cooperate.
The Times says: kalloch, who was elected
by men of the sand lots vehemently declares
that no violence is to be feared from those
who are usually classed as Kearnsyites, and
that the vague insinuations and open charges
contained in the address of the Citizens Pro-
tective Union are false and slanderous. Thus
the issue between the chief municipal officer
of San Francisco and the substantial and
peaceful citizens is clearly drawn. Kalloch's
sympath;es are avowedly with the creatures
who counsel the hanging of prominent bust
ness men and the institution of reign of
lynch law. This complexities the difficulties
of the situation, and increases the risk of vio-
lent collisions.
The Herald says: The truth is that the
preparations for putting down the disturbers
are so efficient, and the order-loving citizens
of San Francisco are so determined that in.
tending rioters are cowed and forced by their
fears to disavow their incendiary threats.
Their cowardice makes them pose in the
ridiculous attitude of martyrs and injured

The World says: Kearney and Kalloch,
it seems. have gone about as far as the decent
people of San Francisco will permit them to
go. The Citizens Protective Union of to-
day seems to be very like the Vigilance Com

there are men who were inadvertently per.

The San saws of the military preparations
in San Francisco: What authority is there
for this demonstration No proclamation
from the Governor of California announces an
insurrection in the State. No constitutional
call has been made by him or by the State
Legislature upon the Federal authorities 1t
seems that Mr. Bee, Vice Consul for China,
has busted himself in the matter, and has
written to Hayes, but nobody pretends that
condition of affairs exists in which the army
may perform duties incumbent on the police
and militia. CALIFORNIA; militia are effective
troops. Not long ago team representing
the militia marksmen OF the Pacific coast
vanquished! all other militia teams at Greed,
moor, and thus demonstrated that IN one OF
the most essential quanhcations OF soldiers
they were prohcient. How Is 1t, then, that
with no requisltion ior troops, ana no exist
ing 1nsurrectlon, the regulars from all over
the racine states are summoned TO San
