Dchenck and His Comni tees,

by American Press Association.
WASHINGTON, D. c., March 30-It was
expected that General Schenck would be
cross examined this A. M. Before he ap-
peared the Committee on Foreign Affairs
held secret session, and when the doors
were opened Governor Swami said the
committee had decided to permit outside
Cross examinations and that all questions
to General Schenck would have to be put
through member of the committee.
Schenck said he did not object to the con-
clusions of the committee. He then said
he desired further to explain that part Of
his testimony relating to his resignation as
Director OF the Emma Mine.
It was no secret that he resigned and it
was not bis fault, that Anderson, the Chair
man of the Board, did put his letter before
the public, although his resignation was
sent December 6. Since the resignation he
had not been connected with the company
except as stockholder.
Schenck's cross.examination has been
resumed and the old ground gone over. AT
1870 O'Clock the committee adjourned till
tomorrow in order to give Lyon and his
counsel an opportunity of furnishing such
questions as they may desire to have asked
Schenck.

1he CIaysoss House Carnival.

The masquerade and carnival gotten up
by some of the young men of the city, was
held last evening in the large dining hall OF
the Clayton House, and was largely atten.
ded, there being number ofpersons present
from the lower part of the State, and also
from Philadelphia. About thirty-five cou-
pies, to the music of Professor Rechie's Or
chestra, led off in the grand march. The
costumes of the participants were as ridicu
lous a. they were grand and varied; and 80
completely were the wearers disguised as to
render them unacceptable by their most In
innate friends. Among the dne costumes
were the continental suits, and that repre-
senting Pochontas, which were furnished
by Mrs. Henze, of this city.
The dancing continued without Interrupt
tion until about midnight, when the masks
were discarded, and the parties prepared
for supper, which was an elegant COLLATION.,
served In most excellent style. When the
repast was finished, the guests again assem-
bled at the dancing hall, where the Terpsi-
chorean part of the programme was con-
tiuued till about three o'clock this morning,
when the party dispersed, highly pleased
with the affair throughout.
The success and pleasure of the masque-
rade was due in great measure to Messrs.
I. G. Pyle. George Clealand and Mr.. Wal
lace.

HARRISBURG, March 30.-The Telegraph
says that at an early hour on Tuesday
evening terrific explosion took place at
the residence of ex-Sheriff Mccartney, in
Carlisle. A subsequent examination OF the
premises revealed the fact that explosive
material had been placed inside the vesti-
bule, and the explosion knocked out por
tion of the wall, shattered the first and sec
ond floors, broke all the windows, and de-
stroyed large quantity of furniture.
Fragments of glass, ETC., were carried
distance of more than hundred yards. A
gentlemen who was in a dwelling two
squares distant says that the building was
shaken considerably, as well as all others
between the two points, and in other direc-
tions. Fortunately, no persons were in
jured.. The inmates of Mr.. M'Cartney's
dwelling were in an upper story, and es-
capped the death which would certainly have
overtaken them if they had been below.
1t will be remembered that about eight or
nine weeks ago similar attempt was made
to blow up Mr.. M'Cartney's residence,
which resulted in doing great deal of
damage, but fortunately no one was hurt.

In the world. For the past ten

The Herd Law Question Again


EDITORS NEWS: There have been
a great many discussions and writ
ten discussions on the subject of the
adoption of herd law in the State
of Kansas, whether by enactment of
the Legislature or vote of the peo-
pie. Such a law would prove I'M
doubtedly not only beneficial, but
of an incalcuable amount of good
to the future prosperity of an en-
ergetic and enterprising class of
people like those of our newly set
tied State, where timber is scarce in
proportion to such vast amount of
uncultivated prairie lands. 1t is not
the intention of those who favor q
herd law to drive the stock from
the grazing lands, which are not set
tled, or dispense with fences already
built, as many might suppose, but
to build more permanent ones, and
to give the people a chance to grow
living hedge fences, who are not
able to purchase lumber and timber
to protec: their crops. I would
about as soon grow and cultivate a
hedge row as a row of corn after it
is planted. How frequently do we
hear men say, whether from selfish
motive or a disposition of ridicule
in a sneering way, 'if a man is not
able to fence his land, he ought not
to have any"-as if he was monarch
of all he surveyed. All l have to
say to such men in their assertions
of assuming bigotry, is to cultivate
their moral sentiments more and
restrain their selfish propensities.
A man may own from one to two
hundred head of stock, running al
large grazing on the wild grasses OIL
the commons without restraint o
the owner. Many of these animal
may be breechy, and regardless o
lawful or unlawful fences-rOguish

farm, committing depradations upol
the farmers crops, stealing his hare

it from his fields. The owners o

after them. l would say to sue

A War of Races.

Glorious California, the land of
gold. and of wheat and old rye, and
oranges, figs and olives, and of the
fat cattle on q thousand hills, and of
the big trees of Mariposa and CAL
averas, and of the wonders of the
Yosemite, and of the premium
grizzlies and sea lions, is suddenly
called upon to awake, arise, or he
forever overtrodden and despoiled
by the heather Chinee. The peril
is imminent, and there is little won
der that the aborigines of the Gold
en- state are up in arms to resist the
Mongolian invasion. Already the
Chinese have obtained strong
foothOld there, and their population
is no small proportion of that of
San Francisco and other California
cities. In the former, indeed, they
are so numerous that they live to-
gether in a sort of guild, governed
by their own laws and customs, and
almost defy the attempt of the mu-
nicipal authorities to coerce them.
The Chinese quarter has become a
city of refuge for the criminal class
es, and realizes the favorite figure
of speech of moralists in being hot
bed of vice. The Californlans can
claim, indeed, with no little reason,
that the interests of morality, il
nothing else, require that steps be
taken to prevent the continued in
crease of the country's Chinese pop
ulation. Wherever "John" goes q
feminine Jill comes tumbling after
and the female Mongolian seems tc
be not only invariably no better
than she should be, but her very
presence breeds pestilence. Blu
the Californians are not crying on
as q matter of morals. It is case
of bread and butter with them. ThG
Chinese not merely show an apti.
tude in employments that require
mechanical skill and ingenuity tina
places them in the first rank among
, skilled workmen, but their want
are SO simple that they are able t.
work for wages on which Caucasi
ans would starYe. Thus in every
trade they are able to distance al
competitors, and not an occupation
but is liable to their deadly compe
, titioR. It is indeed a struggle 70
