Jose Maria Alviso and Pacheco AL
viso, indicted for killing John Rhu-
land in February last, has occupied
the time of the District Court here
for the past two weeks. After being
out since yesterday noon, the jury

the chinese Question IN Congress
WASHINGTON, Dec. 3.-On Mon
day next, under the call of States,
Page will offer resolution in the
House, calling upon the President,
If not incompatible with the public
interests, to inform the House of
the condition of the negotiations
with the Chinese Government in
relation to q modification of the
Burlingame treaty, which will en-
able Congress to legislate against
Chinese immigration without dis
turbance to the friendly relations
existing between the two govern
ments. Upon the response made to
this resolution, If adopted, will de.
pend the course of the Pacific Coast
delegations ON this question. II
it can be stated that negotia-
tions are in forward state, and
soon to terminate favorably to the
sentiments of California and her
neighbors, waiting policy will
prevail. If, however, 1t shall not
definitely appear that substantial
progress has been made with a
clear prospect of early success, then
strong efforts will be made for leg
isIation, regardless of treaty as
certained to be pernicious, and per-
sisted in by those with whom it is
improvidently made. 1t is reason
able to predict that the leading
men of both parties, who shrank
from an abrupt abrogation of the
treaty without notice to the Chi.
nese, will, if negotiations fail for a
modification, be ready to legislate
aud that the President will rot
then withhold his approval.
