The Chinese Must CO.

SAN FRANCISCO, January 27.-Ihe re-
cent murder of Mr.. and Mrs. Jesse G..
Wickerham, near Cloyerdale. this State,
by their Chinese cook, has again thor
oughly aroused the anti-Chinese senti-
ment throughout the Pacific slope. as
soon as the facts of the murder were
confirmed, anti Chinese organizations
were effected in many of the most i'm
portant towns in the State. Resolutions
to boycott Chinese were adopted and
other measures devised for getting rid of
them. At ClOverdale the Chinese were
notified to leave within As hours from 10
O'Clock this morning. Should they not
heed the warning. meeting will be
called to take more effective measures
for their expulsion.

Vetoed tho Bill.

SALT LAKE, January Ex-Governor
Murray to-day returned to The terrific
rial legislature, with his veto, the bill
which that body passed giving absolute
right of bail, pending appeals, to all
cOnvicts, excepting in cases of murder
in the first degree. The governor says
the present bail law has been adiudica-
ted in the United States supreme court
and sustained. 1t has been wisely ap-
piled in the discretion of the courts.
which discretion the proposed measure
would take away altogether. Since the
beginning of the enforcement of the
Edmunds law, Judge Lane has gener-
ally refused bail to all persons convicted
of unlawful cOhabitatiOn and polygOmy
pending appeal. In this he has been
sustained by the supreme court. The
object of the vetoed bill was to break
up this way of dealing with Mormon
cOnvicts, who always appeal, and would
thereby often escape punishment or d.
lay the evil day to aH indefinite period.

Gladstone on Top.

LONDON, January 27.-Gladstone held
a conference this afternoon with Lord
Granville in relation to the resumption
Of office by the Liberals. The Marquis
Of Salisbury will have an interview to-
day with Mr.. w. II. Smith, yesterday
sworn in as Chief Secretary for Ireland.
A meeting Of the Cabinet will also be
had to-day, after which the Ministers
will proceed to Osborne to place their
designations in the hands of the Queen.
The crisis excites but little interest
among the general public. Everything
is quiet and the commercial and finan-
cial markets are but slightly weaker.

BelieYtIin Gladstone.

DUBLIN, January 27.-The Freepan's
Journal is jubilant over the defeat Of the
government, and says the action of the
leaders of the National League in defeat
ing the government emphasizes the fact
that there is new force in politics
which parliament has TO consider. The
Irish Times says the Parnellits rely for
help on Mr.. Gladstone alone. They be-
lieve he will make them an offer looking
to the settlement of the Irish question

Twenty ears ago in Cherokee coun-
ty, Alabam a, Calvin McFee and Joseph
b. Hardwick quarreled over tract of
land, and the latter was killed by the
former. McFee fled the country, and
until a few days ago nothing was
known of his whereabouts. Immedi-
ately after McFee's disappearance a
brother of the murdered Hardwick
started in pursuit, and has spent twen-
ty years in searching for the murderer.
He obtained traces of McFee at various
places, but was unable to locate him
until recently, when he found him at
Southwest City, Missouri, and proceed
ed to have him arrested. The arrest
caused great excitement among the
cowboys of that region, and for a time
it was feared an attempt at rescue
would be made, but it was finally de-
cided to send two of their number with
McFee to see that justice was done
him. At Hardwick's request he was
handcuffed to McFee on their way to
Alabama.
