Assembling the Bank Ring.

New York, 26.-From a World edi-
torial: Trade and the general business of
the country have been subjected to a
strain during the past week more severe
than any which has been put on them
since '73. This deplorable stste of afairs
was brought about By q selfish conspiracy
of certsin number of national banks
bent on opposing the national will in the
matter of establishing such lower national
rate Of interest as duly chosen repre- enta-
tives Of the people have thought proper
to adopt. Our government and the
people who maintain it have submitted
to great sacrifices 10 afford all reasonable
support to national banks, but banks have
net kept within reasonable limits their
demand for compensation for such finan-
cial services as they have been able to
render the country. A few of these
banks have not hesita;ed to invite the
destruction Of the whole system, and
provoke popular anger by pursuing the
course which must inevitably force on
American citizens the question whether
legislative and executive officers chosen
TO represent the people, or few bank
officers, are to administer the financial
destinies of this country. 1t is not
probable that natural resentment Of tho
legislature against the attempted con-
spiracy, will extend to the condemn alton
Of the whole national system. But we
have no doubt, at the same time, that
when indignation has cooled of, these
conspiralors against the prosperity and
credit of the republic will be subjectet
to such temperate and wholesome dis
cipline as shall be warning 70 them and
their kind for years to come.
Chicago, 26.-The papers generally
denounce the selfish and short-sighted
policy of national banks in precipitaling
panic for their own gain.

The grand jury made a long report in
the criminal court this morning. They

Washington, 26.-The committee of
conference on the apportionment question
has so far failed TO agree.
Democratic senators caucused today,
but were sworn to secresy, and say the
proceedings will never become public.
A western press reporter says the subject
of the organization of the new Senate
was discussed. Thurman, whose duty it
is to swear in new senators goes out with
this session, and the discussion was as to
his successor, but evidently nobody was
agreed on. Another caucus will be held
before March 4th. No action was taken
on the nominations of the President. 1t
was the unanimous sense that democrats
should maintain control Ofthe Senate.
The report is false ihst Senator Ed
munds is i'll.
The conference committee having
failed to eff ct a compromise on the sp-
portionment bill, democrats agree 10
allow the funding bill to come up first.
1t stands ten on the calendar, snd single
objection will prevent its consideration
out of order, but the House may lay aside
the other section, if it is so disposed, and
thus IN q short time after concluding the
sundry civil bill reach the funding bill.
This will probably be about o'clock.
1t is stated the President will leave the
matter of calling an extra session to Gen
ersl Garfield. 1t is rumoTed the date will
be the 18Th Of March.

Another Antl-Chinese HowIer.

New York, ga lecture was given
by Thomas J. Bush, before the New
York Genealogical ana Biographical
Society upon the subject of Race in
Genealogy, with special reference to the
Chinese Question" From the nature of
the case q go deal of familiar ground
was gone over, such as the causes induc-
ing Chinese emigration to this country,
and how, by cheap labor, they are driv-
ing others from various spheres of en-
ployment. The problem, be said, was
one of great and growing significance.
and satisfactory solution could be ar
rived at only by careful and just legisla-
ton. The fact that the Mongolian ever
retains the characteristics of his race,
and is by no means smenaole to the
usage and influence Of civilized life, was
handled with vigor, various authorities
being cited to sustain the lecturers
view OF the situation. He argued that
the arrival of hordes of Chinese, flooding
the country was sufficiently alarming to
excite apprehension if not dismay, and
said that if the Chinese were to be ad-
mitted 10 the rights Of suffrage there
should be an educational qualification
imposed before they could become en-
titled 10 il.

THE CHINESE TRADE.
Lively Competition on the

New York, 26.-The Commercial BslI.
Letin: The dispatch from San Francisco
on Thursday stating that sharp cOmpeIi-
ton had broken out for the China trade,
Is the subject of much comment among
merchants in the China trade here. Some
are Of the opinion that this might oe the
beginning of long war between the two
lines, especially as it Is cOnjeetured that
the Chinese line is backed By the imperial
government. 1t Is known that the China

differed by Europeans, there was no
reason why 1t should not succeed.
1t is also known that the line Is so much
in earnest as TO have ordered three new
steamers 70 be constructed in Scotland,
and which, it is thought, will be COM
pleted before August. President Hous-
ton, of the Pacific Mail, expresses the
opinion that the Chinese line will not be
able to compete with them but to q very
little extent, unless they can buy up the
overlsRd railways. Until they can do
that II thinks the competition will

that the Chinese steamers were small and
