AN apti-Chinese meeting was held in
San Francisco on Saturday night at
which four thousand persons we're pres
ent. 1t was called by the Knights of
Labor, and was the result of the strike
by the Chinese cigarmakers on the 23d
Of last month, when the latter informed
their employers they would refuse to
work unless the white mon employed
we're discharged. The speakers de-
clared that ''the time had arrived when
a united stand and action would have TO
be. taken against. further Chinese dicta-
ton. which, If not resented, would re-
suit In serious detriment 10 the white
laboring class" .

THANKSGIVING DAY.

President Cleveland's Thanksgiving
proclamation, issued Monday, is as fol-
lows:
The American people have always
abundant cause to be thankful to Al
mighty God, whose watchful care and
guiding hand have been manifested in
every stage of their national life, guard
ing and protecting them in time of peril
and safely leading them in the hour of
darkness and danger. II is fitting and
proper that nation thus favored should
on one day in every year, for that pur-
pose especially appointed, publicly ac-
knowledge the goodness OF God and re-
turn thanks TO Him for all His gracious
gifts.
Therefore l, Grover Cleveland, Presi-
dent Of the United States Of America,
do hereby designate and set apart
Thursday, the twenty-sixth day OF No
vembcr instant, as q day of public
thanksgiving and prayer and do invoke
the observance OF the same by all the
people of the land.
On that day let all secular business be
suspended and let the people assemble
In their usual places of worship and
with prayer and songs of praise deyout-
ly testify their gratitude to the Giyer OF
every good and perfect gift for all that
lie has done for IT'S in the year that has
passed, for our preservation as q united
nation and for our deliverance from the
shockand danger of political convulsion:
for the blessings OF peace and for our
safety and quiet while wars and rumors
OF wars have agitated and afflicted other
nations o! the earth; for our security
against the scourge Ot pestilence, which
in other lands has claimed its dead bv
thousands and filed the streets with
mourners; for plenteous crops which re-
ward the husbandman and Increase our
nations wealth, and for the content
ment throughout our borders which fol-
lows in the train Of prosperity and
abundance.
AMI let there also be on the day thus
set apart n Reunion Of families, sancti-
lied and chastened by tender memories
and associations, and let the social in
tercOurSe OF friends with pleasant rem
iniscence renew the ties OF affection and
strens hen the bonds Of kindly feeling
And let MS By no means forget. while
we give thanks and enjoy the comforts
which have crowned our lives, that
truly grateful hearts are inclined to
deet Of charity, and that a kind and
thoughtful remembrance of the poor
VIII double the pleasures of cur con

Tennessee, the use Of gunboats on q 9
Ohio and the Mississippi; the advance
from Kansas, through the Indian Terri
tory, TO Northern Texas; the movement
from California to rescue and preserve
New Mexico; in word, the grand pre-
gramme for carrying on war equal to
the demands of the rebellion, as II has
been since carried out everywhere except
in Virginia, was sketched by General
Mcclellan, in his letters and dispatches
In he fall of 1861"
These matters are brought forward
now, not in the way of controversy, but
In the hope and expectation that detrac.
ton of General Mcclellan shall be
silenced now that he IL dead that Justice
shall be accorded to his abilities and his
great service. Just as the voice Of dis
sensiou was stilled at the bedside Of
Grant that Of detraction should be
hushed over the grave of Mcclellan, and
that OF justice alone heard over both.
The funeral ceremonies took place
Monday. The services were held in
Madison Square Presbyterian Church,
New York. There was large attend
snce, the church being crowded, but
the entire ceremony was remarkably
simple, there being nothing to indicate
the eminence of the deceased, except
the presence of distinguished persons
and Of delegations from military and
civic societies. A throng of people
gathered on the street, and heads were
reverently barred as the coffin was taken
from the church. The remains were
taken to Treuton, Now Jersev, where,
after further services, they were inferred
in the family vault In the cemetery in
the lower part OF the city.

ACCORDING to a Washington paper,
Colonel Lamont, the Presidents private
secretary, says that ga very large num-
Der OF people have written to the Presi-
dent recommending various persons for
the position of Civil Service Commits
sioner, and the President has himself
thought of a number of persons who
would be perfectly satisfactory to him-
self; that 1t has been impossible thus
far to get the proper men to take the
position, because, in the first place, the
salary is not so much as any man who
Is big enough for the place can make
outside, and the belief is abroad that the
new board will be as much the subject
of criticism and abuse from certain
quarters as the old one has been"

THEO. r. a. N. LEAsE.--Robert
Harris, president of the Northern
Pacific, accompanied by Colonel
George Gray, general counsel, and
quite ii large pa ~ OF personal
friends, arrived IN ST. Paul yester-
day at 2.25 p m. From the depot
Mr.. Harris went direct TO the gen.
eral Offices of his company Until
6 D. N. he was closeted with Wee
President and General Manager
Cakes, and President Adams and
General Manager Galloway of the
Union Pacific. The matter under
discussion was the proposed joint
lease Of the Oregon Railway and
Navigation to the Northern Pacific
and Union Pacific. interviewed
last evening, Mr.. Harris said the
lease had been practically agreed
upon, and would be made as soon
as certain minor details have been
arranged. The matter Of making
the lease was referred to CONS
mittee from the directory of each
road. These committees have met,
and agreed upon all essential points
Of the lease. The several direc-
tories have not had the matter be-
fore them since this agreement has
been reached, but their approval of
the work done by the several CONS
|lttees will only be a matter of form.
The laws Of Oregon will in no way
Interfere with the making of the
lease. The report that the Or
egon company was opposed 70 the
lease IS without foundation. That
company declined making lease
with the Northern Pacific alone.
some time ago, aud wasIthe first to
propose the joint lease. 1t has sew
eral reasons for doing this. the
most important being the threat OF
the Oregon Central to build it's pro-
.jected line from Huntington, Or.
This company is an independent
concern, organized for the purpose
of building " line, which the. pro-
jectors hoped would be- the Union
Paci6c's outlet TO the Pacific. The
new line was intended to be run
from Huntington, th9 Upion Pacif-
les extreme western terminus, and
the junction point of the Oregon
Short Line and. the Baker City
branch of the Oregon Navigation,
due west to the Willamette valley,
and thence Northward through the
valley to Portland. The building
of this line has been u constant men-
a q to,the Oregon Navigation peo-
pie, and was what forced them to
push the completion, of their Bal er
City branch to junction with the
Union Pacific, Now, that this juno
ton has been made, and the Union
Pacific has an entrance into Port
land, there il little likelihood of the
oregon Central's line being built.
After the joint lease has been made
this company will probably die the
the death that . great many other
Western and Northwestern pa per
companies have met.-Pioneer
