pie were present, and the excitement
intense. Senator Lane, who opposed
the bill, was asked by resolution to re-
sign Immediately. Propositions to
hang those members of the legislature
who were bought were received with
cheers. 1t was proposed to start pro-
cession of men to walk to Carson In the

that the proposed demonstration be

RESOLVED, That the importation Of

and an injury to the workingmen Of
the United States; that their coming
hither can only be desired by those
whose object is to cheaper the wages Of
labor, and to degrade and debase
American citizens, and that our thanks
are due those representatives and sem
ators in congress who have voted to
close our ports against this horde of
AsIatic lepers, prostitutes and sodom-

San Francisco, Feb. 25.-A Portland
dispatch says information has been re-
ceived at Lewiston, Idaho, by a mes
senger from Lower Weiser, that the
settlers in that locality some three
weeks previously had organized to pur-
sue into the Salmon river mountains u
band of Indians who, after being dis
persed by Gen. Howard last summer,
had raijed that country, drove off
stock and killed Munday and two others
who pursued them; also killed Dan
Cyooks and his companion while sleep
ing in their camp, and made their es-
cape into the mountains between Pay
etre and the south fork Of the Salmon
river. These Indians were reported to
be returning towards Payette, when
the settlers organized to intercept them.
They proceeded across to Payette and
soon found signs of Indians. They
quietly reconnoitered and made the
discovery Of their camp; waiting
favorable opportunity when all were in
camp and not in the least expecting
the near presence of white men, they
suddenly surprised and attacked them,
killing thirty-six of their number and
nearly annihilating their whole camp.
Only two or three are known to have
escaped death. Their humiliation is a
God-send to the miners and settlers in
that country.

resentative Phelps, called on the Presi-
dent to-day. They were in conference
with him about an hour, and urged him
to sign the bill restricting Chinese i'm
migration. Sargent commenced the
argument and pictured the evils, moral,
commercial and national, which come
with the Chinese. He reviewed their
history In this country and the evil re-
suits Of which their presence had
been productive. He called attention
to the deterioration Of American labor
which existed wherever Chinese found
their way; also stated that the veto Of
the bill might affect the republican in
terests In California disastrously. AL
the other gentlemen made similar argu-

ments. They also called attention to
the numerous petitions from the west
for riddance of the Chinese, and pre-
sented number that had just been re-
ceived.
The president listened attentiyely,
and frequently questioned his visitors.
When they had finished the arguments
he stated that he too had received many
appeals from the people in the west TO
sign the bill, and also petitions from
other sections not to Sign it. He was
glad to hear all he could upon the sub
ject, and would carefully consider the
arguments that had just been made.
When the delegation left, majority
of them entertained the impression
that the president would not sign the
