WASHINGTON, March 25.
The President stated to night that
there was no information regarding
the Louisiana Commission that could
properly be made public at present.
There is much conversation here
about written pledges said to have
been given by President Hayes clos
est friends and advisers during the
progress of the electoral count to GER
tain Democrats. Following are the
facts: When filibustering in the
House was at its height, several Demo-
cratic Senators, among whom was Sen
ator Gordon, we're called into counsel
by some of the Southern Republicans,
who felt it to be thfAfluty to vote
against all dilatory Ions and to
stand by the electoraUF bill in good
faith. Senator Gordon stated that he
had no responsibility as 20 the count, in.
asmuch as he was not a member of
the House, but he did feel the respon-
sibility of protecting as far as he could
the government of Hampton ana the
people OF South Carolina, as far as ne
had been specially asked 10 do so, and
would therefore 90 to Foster, of Ohio,
and others, and know in advance Of
the completion of the count what was
to be the iate OF South Carolina and
Louisiana. General Gordon did go,
with John Young Brown, of Ken
lucky, and demanded a written pledge
in his capacity as the friend of the
Hampton and Nichols governments,
tn It they should not be disturbed
whatever might he the result of the
count alleged, and denied that some
such pledges in writing were given to
Stanley Matthews and Representative
Foster.

Doubts of she Compact.
New YORK, March Is.
Halls disappearance still agitates
the public mind, but no trace can be
discovered as to his whereabouts.
The popular theory, and the one most
generally accepted, is that he fled to
Europe to avoid threatened disclosures
of his associates in the ring frauds.

Hoar, John Young. Brown, Norton,

Senator Morton, who left Washing.
ton last night for his home, took with
him the report and evidence Of the
Joint Commission Of Congress ap
pOinted to inve -tigate the character, ex-
tent and effect of Chinese Immigration
tn the Pacific States, in order to pre-
pare a minority report. The testi-
Inony taken by the Joint Commission
covers over twelve hundred printed
pages and will be presented to Con
gress at its next session. The ma
jority recommends that measures be
taken by the President looking toward
a modification of the existing treaty
with China, combining it strictly to
commercial purposes, and that Con-
gress legislate to restrain the influx Of
Chinese to this country.

truth of the statement that Stanley
Matthews and Charles Foster. of Ohio.
pending the counting of the electoral
votes in Congress, entered into a o
tract with a number of Southern Dem
ocrats by which it was agreed If they
would aid in completing the count and
receiving the Inauguration of Hayes
~ President. the governments of
Nichols and Hampton would be rec.
ognized by the new Administration.
The President, however was no party
tn this. Tonight the matter is creating
a great deal of excitement in we'll in
formed political circles, and further
Developments are ~anxiOusly looked
for.
