TIE great influx of Chinese into
California and contiguous States that
has been continually going on for
several years, and the frequent agita.
ton by Congress of the suspension
of this undesirable class of immi
grants, combined with the great de.
preston that their presence has
brought upon labor throughout the
Pacific States, Is arOusing the feel
ings, not alone of the people who have
to live among these Mongolians, but
those of the middle and Eastern
States also. There is no likelihood
but what the ten-year suspension will
become Il law, and while this will
certainly come within the obligations
of the treaty and should be acceded
to as all.sutlicient for the present, yet
there is much dissatisfaction among
laboring people throughout the in
vaded region, caused by the Presi-
dents veto, and they will not be
easily pacilied. In San Francisco,
an anti Chinese convention was held
last week, and plan of action adop-
ted for the removal of Cinnamon.
The scheme is to divide the Pacific
coast into districts, which shall be
notified to remove the Chinese within
II specified time. Failing such action
the district is To be proclaimed to he
dangerous, peaceably disposed citizens
warned to abandon it, and if the
Chinese are still harbOred in the dis
trict, the league is to remove them
by force, using Us little force us nee
cessary until the country is rid OF
them. 1t needs no verbiage of words
to lead the reader to comprehend
what state of affairs this procedure
will bring about il persisted in. That
there is great need for prompt relief
from the discOrdant element so pre-
valent Oh tho Pacific coast is un
questioned, but it Is questionable
whether the mode proposed by the
recent convention is in accordance
with sound morality, and whether
the desired result will be thus bette
attained than by more conservative
and less menacing appeal.

the road will cross through Nebraska to

This extension will be about 9OG miles
long, running almost parallel with the
Union Pacific and about 100 Omiles north.
II is maintained by the managers that

Court Decision,

SVuHS DOCADAOus
Chicago, Jan. 2l.-The state supreme
court has decided, but it is understood
that the text Of the decision has not been
received, that the act Of the legislature
creating probate courts in Cook and
Lazalle counties in this state was uncon-
stitutionaL 1t is impossible to tell the
effect Of this decision without
the full opinion nor what steps
can be taken to remedy
the difficulties it involves. Thus far we
have only had notes. We understand as
tho decision is long there is probably
more alarm than is necessary. Mr.. Nc
Cogg, one of the most prominent and
careful lawyers in Chicago says the pro.
butte court of Cook county has done dur
ing its existence very large business,
mvch of which possibly will have to be
done over. This decision "a it is under.
stood does not leave Cook and Lazalle
without probate courts nor in any way
stop the due administration of estates,
but sends all such matters back to the
courts which have been all the time in
existence and which have exclusive juris.
diction over probate matters, up to the
time the courts were created. and which
Jurisdiction has never been lost. The
first announcement of the decision cre-
ated much alarm, but though it will
probably not entail such great
consequences as were apprehended.
The same opinion takes away the
chancery jurisdiction Of the county
courts. This may declare persons who
had d vorces in those courts valid, but
the chancery business transacted has
not been as large, and the part that
orders and decisions rendered are void,
in view of the law which protects all
persons whose acts are bona fide under
appeal. The authority of law
cannot create any difficulties.
lie decision causes universal comment
here among lawyers and no little excite
ment on account of the uncertainty in
volved. A meeting of the bar associa-
tion is called for this afternoon to dis
cuss the situation, and steps will be ta-
ken for o rehearing. The first will was
probated December 18th. 1881. In all six
divorces are said to have been granted by
the county court which will, if the de.
cision is as sweeping as first announced,
be invalidated. Three thousand three
hundred and ten wills have been probat.
ed in this court and the same number of
estates are involved in the decision, in.
cluding some Of the largest in the city,
notably the Newbury estate and the
Taylor estate. The former has been in
litigation for . number of years and the
case, is at best very complicated one,
and is now involved in fresh disputes.
One remarkable feature of the decision
is that the supreme court has remanded,
reversed and affirmed the decisions of the
probate court of this county.
