CHINESE.
The bill to restrict the immigration of
Chinese was then taken up.
After considerable debate Mr.. Conger de sired
to submit an amendment excepting shipwreck-
ed Chinese, but objection was made by MI.
Cox. of New York, and Mr.. Luttrell.
Mr. Garfield desired to submit an amend
ment that the bill should not take effect until
after due notice had been given the Chinese
government under the rules of international
law, but Mr.. Cox, of New York. objected.
Mr. Garneld-The bill is palable violation
of international law, and was got up rather for
party purposes than out of consideration for
the interests of the workingmen.
Mr.. Cox, of New York, and Others, objected
t further debate and the bill passed, yeas,
l55, nays, 72. It provides that no master of a
vessel owned by any citizen of the United

NEPOTISM ON A SMALL SCALE.
4 Scheme to Gice Senators Their Sons TO,
Secretaries,
Washington Special. !

Washington Special.
Senator Lamar has given notice that he will,
at an early day, Introduce bill to provide that
Senators be furnished, at the public expense,
each with private secretary. His reasons are
tn s5 a Senator has much more work to do than
he can accomplish without one, and, as private
secretaries cost money, being now rated in the
market at something like $50 a month, he
should be furnished with means to employ
such clerk. There are many calls on Sen
ators for money. charitable and otherwise,
which, in the aggregate, reliev him of the bulk
of his salary. Senator Lamar says he
pays his railway fare, does not ac-
cept of street-car passes nor free tickets
to theatres, and consequently he is
a poor man. He would, however, like the SER
vices of secretary, and thinks the govern
ment should pay for them. He says the neces-
sity for private secretaries does not apply to
members of Congress who represent compare
lively small constituencies. There are few
objections which may be urged against this
scheme, one of which is that many of the
States have Senatorial representation out Of all
proportion TO the representation in the lower
branch of Congress. For example, five of the
States have one Congressman each. Mr. Lamar
would withhold from each of the gentlemen
private secretary, and confer the boon upon
each of the Senators who by his own line
of argument, can only have half as much pub
lie business to attend to-. Two States have two
representatives each, five have three each, and
three haze four each. At least fifteen of the
States ought, for economys sake, to be de-
prived of the benefits of the bill. There is
another reason more potent why this bill should
not succeed. Every Senator who has son Is
years old and upward would endow him with
this Office and others would select near rela-
tives. Lastly. and most important Of all, the
House will not consent to a measure which will
take out Of the treasury $685. 900 year, from
the benefits of which its members are excluded

THE CABINET.
SITTING BULL.

WASHINGTON, Jan. 2S.-The cabinet to-day
again gave attention to the Indian question.
Secretary Schurz presented reports that were
received at the interior department yesterday,
confirming the crossing into this country of
Sitting Bull and number of his people. The
subject engages the attention of the state de-
partment as well as that of the interior and
war departments. The information is meagre,
but it is expected the government will have
fuller and more definite advices very soon. The
opinion is not withheld in official circles here
that this Indian advance suggests trouble in
the spring, and means are already being taken
to prevent it. plan has been agreed upon for
settling the relations Of the government with
these Indians, but its details are not yet made
known. The secretaries of the war and interior
departments will make definite ARRANGEMENTS
concerning it. McCrary was absent from the
session, ON account of sickness in his family
PENSION ARREARAGEs.
There was an extended legal discussion at the
meeting, with reference to tue construction to

arrearages bill. 1t is matter Of great import
ance az to where the payment OF arrearages
begins, whether on the date of the discharge Of
the pensions from the governments service, or
at the period at which the disability COM
menced. After considerable debate on this
topic the matter was left for the opinion of the
attorney general.

THE PUBLIC PRINTER.
The House committee on public expenditures
concluded their investigation into the manage

tons contained therein be withdrawn. Repre-

views, which excui pates the government printer

cuted at reasonable cost. The minority took
issue with the majority in their recommended
tion that the printing department. of the gov
erument be abolished and that the larger part
OF the government printing be given out by
contract. The minority embrace within their
report statistics showing that under the old
system OF contracting compared with the

double the work performed, was 1881, ,l49 less
than under the contract system.
