Senate.
WASHINGTON, February l3.-Mr. Sargent
presented memorials signed by 1868 citi-
zens of California, calling the attention of
Congress to the influx of Chinese on the
Pacific slope. He said there were 10000
Chinese near the Pacific coast. They IN
derbid native labor; they impaired no
value 20 the community; they were pagans;
they evinced no desire to become assimi-
lated to our institutions. There had been
but one OF two instances known where any
OF them had expressed the desire to
become citizens. They added nothing
ca the material wealth of the COM
munity. taking away with them all that
they accumulated, and not even allowing
their bones to rest in American soil. This,
he remarked, was a question which did not
now concern the States east, but it would
soon become national question, for the
Pacific coast was the gateway through
which these people would pour and finally
spread over the whole country. The memo
rials will be referred to the Committee on
Foreign Relations.
Mr.. Goldthwaite presented memorial
from the Mobile Board Of Trade for the
improvement OF Mobile Bay. Referred to
the Committee on Commerce.

partmens. Referred to the Judiciary Com

form the Senate as to the conduct of Major
Lewis Merrill. an officer of the United
States army, on duty in South Carolina.
was taken up and discussed by Messre. Bay
ard and Scott. Mr.. Bayard, during his re-
marks, referred to the fact that many mem
bers of the South Carolina Legislature were
ignorant not being able to read or write.
Mr.. West, of Louisiana, inquired of the
gentleman whose fault that was.
Mr.. Bayard-It may suit the gentleman
to ask that question now, but there were De-
riods in his life when he could answer it,
having lived in the community, under the
laws and in sympathy with those who are
charged with prosecuting the colored peo-
pie for receiving education.
The morning hour having expired, the
currency distribution question was resumed.
Messrs. Merrimon end Gordon participated
in the debate.

Boston, November IL. 1t is rumored that
II. A. Roberts. Cashier Of the East Boston
National Bank Is defaulter. The suspicious
of the directors were excited two or three
days ago, and they set experts at work to in
vestigate matters. The cashier left the bank
Monday evening, to 60 TO his tea, and has not
since been heard from. Investigation is still
in progress. The defalcation is not believed
to be large.
Strong efforts are making to insure the re-
election of Mayor Cobb in the coming city

fishing board of public works; to reduce

Secretary Bristow notifies all who are in
terested in appointments to direct their cor
respordence to him.
The statement that the Pr, si.!en,'s views on
the financial question have undergone modfi-
cation since last spring, is denied on the high
est authority. Not only has the President
not changed his opinion, but he has freely
and repeatedly expressed to all persons who
have seen proper to approach him on the sub
jeci the same views as contained in his veto
message.
1t is equally certain that the Secretary of
the Treasurey has not expressed any views
antagonistic to the opinions of the President,
and his friends confidently assert that his
forthcoa,ing report will urge upon Congress
strongly return to specie payment at the
earliest practicable period.

STATE Ne VS..

Rev. Amos P. Messer, of Enfield, went to
Oldtown to mill in the fall of 1924 with his
father, and on their return, with only twelve
bushels in the boat, had to tug and lift their
best to get along. He thinks the water was
about as low in the river then as now, but
since that time has not often been as law as at
present.
Mr.. c. G. Atkins of Bucksrort. who has
charge of the fish-hatchng works in that
town, under date of Monday, writes that they
had been taking eggs for seven days, and have
obtained 100000 in that time, with good
many fish still left in the pond.
The case of Franklin p. Gordon, son Of
Knowles Gordon, continued from Monday,
was concluded before Judge Goodenow yes
terday afternoon. This affair, of which men.
ton was made yesterday, was for forcbly re-
jecting Mrs. Rehecca Fletcher from the house
OF Mr.. Gordon, by which means she suffered
fracture of her right wrist. The defence
showed that Mrs. Fletcher was under the in
huence of liquor at the time. and that she had
used highly improper language in Mr.. Cor
don's house. For using unnecessary force
in putting her out, Gordon was fined $40 and
costs. and on appeal was entered, the father
of the Young man furnishing bail in the sum
of 500 tor his appearance at the February
