SAN Francisco, Dec. 12.-Sub-
Treasurer Sherman reports So, $50, :
900 in subsidiary silver on hand.
OF this amount, $17,750 is in dimes,
$3.50 in double dimes and the re-
mainder in quarter and half dol
lars, mostly the latter. Mr.. Sher-
man knows of $250,000 more that
is ready to be sent in, including
$15O,OO0 from the office of the State
Treasurer at Sacramento. Before
the work of redemption ceases, he
expects to get $6,000,00O in subsidi-
ary silver. This shows that In pro-
portion to the remainder or the
country, we are carrying more than
our share of this overvalued coin.
C,wprsssm,u Page Interviewed
WASHINGTON, Dec. 12.-Mr.
Page, in an interview on the Chi
nese question, said his people had
been led to understand by friends
of the President and Evarts that
negotiations were now pending be-
tween this and the Chinese govern
ment, and he expects the admin
istration will inform Congress very
soon of the exact status of the ques-
ton. In case China refuses to con-
sent to any modification of the
treaty, we will introduce q bill
similar to the one passed last win
ter. The principal objection which
was urged by members who voted
against the bill then-that the at
tempt to override q treaty with
out first notifying the foreign gov
erument, was contrary to all pre-
cedent-will, of course, not hold
good now. Page does not think
anything better could be done in
the way of legislation than to pass
the same bill that was passed last
Winter. "The people of Califor-
nia," said Page, "are very pro-
pounced upon the subject; they
think Chinese immigration is an
evil and expect their representa-
tives in Congress to urge such
measures as will prevent IL in
future; they are disposed to take a
philosophical view of the situation.
The best portion of our people
agree, very generally, that those
that are there cannot be got rid OF,
and are willing to suffer from
the evils of the 100000 who
are already there, but say that
they don't want any more to come.
Our people consider this question
above party. The surest solution
of the question would be to close
the port of San Francisco against
Chinese immigration, and open
the ports of Boston, New York and
Philadelphia, and allow those who
come hereafter to distribute them
selves along the Atlantic seaboard.
This would give people East some
idea of the evils suffered by us on
the Pacific slope from the immi-
grafton of Chinese. Some people
saw "a Chinaman is as good as au
Irishman.n There may be preju'
dice against Irishmen. Any man
who comes here and is willing to
bear arms for this Government can
not be compared TO Chinamap.
Congress end the Finamciei Qnfs
