WASHINGTON, Dec. l9.-The state
ment that the District of Columbia suT-
1rage bill had been considered in the
Cabinet is unfounded.
A resolution was offered this MORN
ing by Mr.. Williams, of Oregon, to pro-
hibit the immigration of the Chinese
into this country. It produced much
surprise in the Senate chamber, as ours
is styled the asylum of all nations. The
resolution was referred to the Com
mittee on Foreign Affairs. ..-,.-.
There is sensation here in reference
TO rumnrs OF a Congressional invesliga-
ton into certain charges against a
United States Senator of having been
influenced by pecuniary considerations
to use his interest for the appointment
of a person to a first class position in
the Revenue Department in New York.
The Senate Committee on Foreign
Affairs Will report favorably on the APP
pointment of Mr.. Hoffman as Secreta-
ry of Legation to Paris.
The report of the board appointed to
examine the breech loading arms,
is published. The conclusions, are that
all arms in the service should be fitted
for the same cartridge, and that Col,
Berdan's plan. Uf alteration should be
adopted. They are unable to recon-
mend any of the breech leaders pre-
sented for examination. The Spencer
magazine carbine Is recommended as
the best cavalry arm. r.r-g
