of the Chinese treaty, as already given, has
been known to-day to the members of the
California delegates in the House.
1t is the universal opinion
that the new treaty Will not
accomplish the purpose for which It is de-
signed, and will not give the relief which
the people of the Pacific coast are entitled
to expect. Nothing, save the absolute ex-
clusion of all Chinese laborers will meet
the emergency with which for years past
Californians have been obliged to contend.
