California MillionaIres.

From the New York Sun.
Mrs. Hopkins, the widow OF the late
Mark Hopkins Of California, has decided
that nothing short of 100000 house
to live in will afford an adequate ex-
preston Of her magniilcence. She is
preparing TO construct such residence
ut Great Barr ington, Massachusetts, and
expects to devote three years to its COM
pletion. The milllonaires of the Pacific
slope do not appear to show any greater
regard for that sunny cline than the
Chinese do. Against the further immi-
grafton Of the latter one of the strongest
arguments was that they came to Cali
fornia not as genuine settlers, but as
adventures. and that as soon MS they
had amassed any money they went home
TO China. 1t is true that the millionaires
are not as numerous rs the Celestials,
but they appear to be aotuated by the
same motives. They will presently
make California another Ireland, drained
by absentee landlords, who spend their
enormous incomdS in New York and
Paris.

Now that the election is over, the city

correspondent at Woodland, signing
himself Lieutenant, asks SIN case our
militia is called out to suppress a mob-for
instance, an uprising against the Chinese
and they are directed TO fire, can the
same be done with blank cartridges, or must
the guns be loaded with cartridges contain
ing leaden pellets p
If Lieutenant had turned TO Section
731 of the Penal Code he would have
found complete answer to his question.
Briefly stated, it is as follows: " When
ever any portion of the National Guard
shall have been called into active service
to suppress an instruction or rebellion. to
dispense mob, or to enforce the execution
of the laws of this State, or of the United
States, it shall be competent for the Com
mander-in-Chief, or for the General
acting in his stead, to place such
troops under the temporary direc-
ton of the Mayor of any city.
or of the President of the Board of Super
visors of the city and county of San Fran
cisco, of the Sheriff of any county. or of
any Marshal of the United States; and if.
i'll the opinion of such civil officer, it shall
become necessary that the troops so called
out shall fire or charge upon any mob or
body of persons assembled to break or re-
SlSl tue laws, SiCll civil OlllCeT shall give q
written order to that effect to the superior
officer present in command of such troops.
who will at once proceed to carry out the
order, and shall direct the firing and at
tack to cease only when such mob or I'M
lawful assembly shall have been dispersed,
or when ordered to do so by the proper
civil authorities. No officer who has been
called out TO sustain the civil authorities
shall, under any pretense, or in compliance
with any order, fire blank cartridges upon
any mob or unlawful assemblage, under
penalty of being caSIiered BY sentence of
a court martial; provided, that nothing in
this section shall be construed as prohibit
ing any such troops from firing or charging
upon such mob or assembly without the
orders of such civil officers, in case they
shall first be attacked or fired upon, or forci-
bly, resisted in the discharge of their duty.
When the Commander-in-C Chief or General
acting in his stead, shall call troops into
active service for the purpose mentioned in
this section, and shall not place them I'M
der the temporary direction of any civil
officer, the commanding officer shall use
his own discretion with respect to the pro-
priety of attacking or firing upon any mob
or unlawful assembly,

cation as violators of the Restriction Act
The Federal authorities now on the Dor
der seem to be unable to follow and stop
the boats, or to place any check upon their
operations. In this state of affairs it is al
most useless to attempt to enforce the law
at San Francisco. Mr.. Morrow has pre-
pared bill which he proposes to intro
duce in the House of Representatives in
December. 1t is intended to limit the
number of Chinese passengers that may be
brought on any one ship, and to place the
number so low that the immigrants may be
watched easily, and their right to land
readily inquired into. 1t will also reduce
the proftableness of carrying these passen-
gers. His bill also amends the present Re
striction Act so as to cure the defects the
attempts to enforce it has developed. But
nothing in his bill, or any other now sug-
gested, will take the place of vigilance and
large force of officers detailed to prevent
the smuggling referred to. That is phase
of the difficulty that must be provided for
by the Treasury Department, and for
which provision it has now ample au-
thority
