D. o Mills Opinion of the Chinese
Problem.
WASHINGTON. Dec. ls.

WASHINGTON, Dec. 10.
D. o. Mills called on the President
and Secretary of State yesterday, in re-
gard to the Chinese problem in Cali
fornia. He claimed that a great deal
of Misrepresentation had been in
dulged in; that many reports of bad
conduct OF Cinnamon vas really un
founded; that their presence and labor
are not injurious. but on the contrary,
are q great benefit to the Pacific coast,
and that the United states Govern
ment is in duty bound to see that they
are protected in the enjoyment Of their
rights guaranteed by u treaty with
China. 1t appears that he came here
for the ex press purpose of ma king these
argumeutative representations, and he
left for New York in q few hours after
wards.
Secretary Evarts, in view Of the con-
f1ictiDg statements made to him on
this subject, seemed inclined to send
for official Information, before recon-
mending any curse OF action for adop.
ton by the Administration in regard TO
any Of the questions involved. The
matter Is, however, very likely to
come up for further Cabinet discus.
sion sooner than Evarfs contemplates.
The Attorney General will undoubted
~ report that there is no precedent for
Interference, by the General Govern
ment, to suppress or prevent assaults
upon individual rights within State
imi.e, unless such interposition and
assistance be requested by the State
authorities. The question whether
any such action a be constitutional
ly volunteered, in order to enforce a
stipulation, has never before been di
rectly presented, but there seems to be
no doubt of q decision in the negative,
regardless OF the fact that the nation at
large would be morally liable for the
consequences which might ensue from
treaty attractions.
Death Of she Baroness de Brus-
sierre-A Outlet Sabbath-An In
dian Delegate.
NEW YORK, Dec. l6.
Ben Holladay's daughter, the Baron.
ess de B~russierre, died to-day of pneu-
monia, aged % years, leaving one
child four years old. She was attached
to the Roman Catholic faith. Her fun
eral will take place on Tuesday morn
ing from st. AIMS Church. The news
OF her death has been telegraphed to
her husband in Paris, and her father,
who is in Oregon.
To-day is one Of the most quiet Sab.
baths this city has enjoyed for many
years. The number Of arrests by the
police were unusually small. This
extraordinary result is due to the rapid
enforcement Of the law prohibiting the
sale Of any sort of liquor. Arrests
during the preceding 10 days of nearly
1000 liquor dealers, had q salutary ef-
feet upon those engaged in the trade.
The police were upon their guard, but
succeeded in finding but few saloons
open.
A New York Heratd's Washington
special says: The House Committee on
Indian Affairs substantially agreed to
report q bill on the Resembling OF
Congress, allowing five Indian tribes
in the Indian Territory to be repre-
sented ey delegate in the House bust
ness before Congress, and relating to
she interests of the Indian Territory.
In the opinion of the Subj Committee,
TO whom the subject was referred, is
such rs to make It advisable that In
dian tribes should have official repre-
sentation; as it is, they can only be
heard by attorneys, and the custom
has grown of calling every effort ol
their friends q steal or job. The Com
mittee therefore concludes, that in JUS
tice to the Territory, rs we'll as the
credit of Congress, it demands the ad-
mission of an Indian delegate.
