Newspaper Comments.

New YORK, March 1.-THE morning pa
pers all agree in believing Grant will resign
the presidency of the worlds fair. The Her.
ald reporter, who caught an Interview last
evening, found be had been considerably an
noyed by the persistency of callers. He said
he thought 1t strange that one could not come
to New York for a few days without being
overrun with interyiewers. He said he would
have nothing to do with the fair for the pres
ent, as he was going to Mexico on Tuesday
next.
The Sun says there are western politicians
and editors who take exception even to the
slight concession made to China in the opium
clause of the new treaty which prohibits clti-
zens of the United States from engaging IN
opium traffic through Chinese ports. Their
argument is that it is an injury to the proper
ty and business of American citizens to pro-
hibit their taking part in the opium trade,
and that this ought not to be acceded to.
The opium imported into the United States
for medical purposes come from India and
not from Chinese ports, and that imported in
to China passes chiefly through the hands OF
British subjects under the protection Of Eng.
lish arms. Few or no Americans are engaged
in the trade, and lastly so much Of the drug
as is brought to the United States for smok,
ing is wholly imported by Chinese firms.

ST. PETERSBURG, March lS.-The ground
dug up where the mine was discovered has
been reflled. The doors of the shop in
which the mouth Of the mine is situated is
sealed up and a guard stationed at the prem
Uses. 1t has been decided to erect a religious
memento upon the spot where the ear fell.
One of the chief organizers of the plot was
captured two days before the assassination
and confessed after the deed was accom- plish-
ed and so deeply terminating Rousakof,
Che also confessed and denounced his accom-
plices) hence the arrest Monday and Tuesday
and the discovery of the mine. Many revo-
lutionary proclamations have been found

thoritles were advised several months ago

Arrival Of Minister Matinee.

PANAMA, March 1.-THE Star saws that
Marshal Matinee, recently appointed minis
yer TO the United States from Chilli, arrived
per steamer Amazon and leaves TO-DAY for
New York. Martinez is we'll known in San
tiago as the leader of the CHILEAN bar. He
says that the public feeling in Chilli demands
vigorous compensation for the enormous sac
rlhees in lives and money which Chilli has
suffered since the Tocha campaign. Chill has
iost three thousand lives and spent thirty mil
llon dollars and these sacrifices must be rep
resented In some way by indemnity or terri.
torlai cession. The execution of a treaty
VIII probably be secured by Chill for occu-
plying territory and controlling custom houses
and a separate treaty will probably be made
with Bolivia.
The Amazon brings intelligence of the for
nation in Lima of a provisional government
with Don Pedro Jose Callicon as president.
The ministry is in process of organization.
Don Carlos Franckel arrived from Guaya-
gull per steamer Valdavia and leaves for San
Francisco soon.

CHEYENNE, Wy, March lS.-The "Lead-
ERR in a comprehensive article shows that
Wyoming is being rapidly developed and i'm,
migration pouring IN that silver and gold
mines are being discovered in all the mouh-
tains that immense soda lakes sufficient &c
supply all the glass factories of the country

A "Leader' reporter interviewed Cannon,
the Mormon delegate to congress. Cannon
expresses confidence in his ultimate victory
over Campbell. He says all the lawyers and
congressman at Washington agree that he
can be kept out of his seat. The idea
was suggested that the next house being
republican would keep him out in the cold.
He said he had more TO hope for from a re-
publican house because the republicans alb
horred the principle which sought to
unseat him.. AS to Governor Murray's
visit to Mentro several days before the inau-
guratioD, and the announcement that Garfield
endorsed Murray's action being made Can
non said he had it from good authority that
Garfield didn't approve of the giving of acer'

Tae Chinese and japanese Question.

SAN FRANCISCO, March 17.-Late advices
from Japan states that the relations between
that country and China are strained. The
latter is retaliating for Japan's course in the
Form and Dochoo affair, when China was in
difficulty. 1t is believed in Yokohoma that
China and Russia have made a treaty direct
ly concerning Japan. The second, or Tserg,
treaty has also its secret agreement or COM
pact relating TO the country. Terms of set
Element with Russia are given out with much
ostentation, but well informed people regard
these terms as materially modified by subsi-
diary compacts, the terms of which are not
now even limited at.
The attitude of Russia, and the large fleet
maintained by that power in Chinese and
Japan waters, are increasing suspicion and
anxiety. The hostile bearing OF China will
tax the resources of Japan to the utmost in
defensive preparation at a time when the
financial difficulties of the nation are over
whelnlng and the entire specie reserve in the
treasury is not more than $1,200,OO0 a year.
The unprecedented number of large fires
in Yako have compelled the authorities to
move n the matter. Orders have been given
to the effect that all houses built on the bank
OF the Placer must be built of the same ma
terial as the native %go-downs.
The last fire in Takio passed over ten
streets and consumed 1868 houses and %
%go-downs. The population rendered home
less by this calamity was 1882.

A number of democratic senators declared

Chief Justice Cater of the Illinois SUI
