WASHINGTON. Feb. 4

and Labor, were not quite ready TO re-
port on the Chinese question TO day,
and consequently all action on the sub
ject was postponed until Thursday
next. The Committee, however, con
tinued its informal discussion to some
extent this morning. The prominent
opinion was apparently that the mos
ex pedient course to pursue for the
present will be to report a joint resolu.
ton for adoption by Congress, instruct
ing the President to invite the co op.
Grafton of China and Great Britain to
restrict Chinese emigration ana pre-
VEN the importation OF the coolie class
to this country: but if the COMMITTEES
decide to report such a proposition. it
will be with the distinct understanding
that the Committee reserves the right
to recommend legislative action by
Congress in advance OF the desired re.
suits being attained through dirlo
matte channels in ease of serious delay
or threatened failure.

will leave San Francisco on the 18th

has made reduced rates for all such ex-
hibits. General Mccormick thinks il
is particularly desirable that exhibits

ifornia manufactures should be large,
but suggests that exhibits of purely
agricultural products should be limited
in quantity, and that Implications
should be avoided, as large amounts OF
agricultural products have already
been offered by the Atlantic States, and
the space provided for them by the
French Government is small.
A New York Tribune Washington
special says that Governor Nichols
friends in Washington assert that he
has no sympathy with the present
prosecutions; that they are instigaled
and carried on by Bourbon Democrats,
who are opposed to him and his ad
ministration. and that he ought not to
be held responsible for them. This is
undoubtedly true, and should Ander-
son be convicted. Nichols will have an
opportunity to show how much indie
pendence and moral courage he has
when the question of granting pardon
ome before him.
An Inter Ccedn's Washington spe-
cial says the vote on the Silver bill is
scarcely probable this week, as many

Silver men are depending upon a veto,
while the friends of the bill hope for
an approval or else that the President
will let it lie ten days and then become
a law. Although amendments are
