Particulars of the Great Shooting
Match.

\ - VI sAS
Match.
New YORK, January IA.
A meeting was held at the Aston House
yesterday, between Bogardus and Carver,
the glass-ball marksmen, but no match
was agreed upon. Carver goes to Europe
this week or next. The Sun says that
Captain Bogardus and DR.. Carver have
made arrangements for a shooting match,
and are to break 0 1000 balls within a
| space of six DAYS. The match is to be shot
between September 1st and December 31st
! of this year, for not less than $4,000 a
! side. Bogardus is to use o shotgun. and
! Carver has the choice of either a shotgun
| or a rifle, but Is to continue to use through
out the match the weapon he begins with.
The balls are to be sprung from two OF the
Bogardus traps, Is yards rise. Both bar
reIs OF the shotgun may be used, and both
balls may be sprung in the air at the choice
of the marksmen. If Carver chooses a
shotgun, he is to shoot under the same
conditions if he makes the choice OF a
rifle, the balls are to be thrown in the air
either by hand or trap, each marksman to
load his own gun as he shoots. The win
ner is to take the stakes and gate money.
The match is open to all corners under the
above conditions. But / will bet SIS, 900,
Bogardus says, that there will be no COM
ers. Carver is backed by W. H. Hunter,
of England, who has him under a contract
to exhibit in various parts of Europe.
This, Carver explains, is the reason why
the contest is deferred until next fall. Boz
gardus is his own hacker. Both men are
confident Of winning.
Chinese Immigration.
New YORK, January IA.
In discussing Chinese immigration, the
New York Times" manifests a dawninS
of intelligent impressions as to its substan-
tial merits. 1t considers the various reme-
dies before the California Constitutional
Convention; commends General Miller's
speech as the first attempt to present the
subject in a dispassionate, statesmanlike
manner, and concedes that the Chinese
presence in California is Objectionable to
the majority of its citizens; but it scouts
the proposed remedies conflicting with the
exclusive power Of Congress to regulate
foreign commerce, which it holds, includes
foreign immigration. 1t intimates adoubt
whether the Federal laws would not come
in conflict with any California statutes con-
~templated by the proposed provisions in
the new Constitution, exercising the police
power of tho State to transport beyond
California and to other States, aliens who
cannot become citizens, that is, the Chi
nese. The article approves Miller's me
mortal asking Congress to enact legislation
effectually preventing q further immigra-
ton of Chinese or Coolies, which it says,
after all. is the only and final remedy for
the evil.
Congressional Proceedings.
WASHINGTON, January IA.
In the Senate, to-day, Mr.. Butler sub
mitted q resolution directing the Secretary
of the Interior to inquire and report what
railroad company, individual or individ-
uals, are building q railroad across the
public domain in Arizona, and by what
authority the road is being constructed.
Agreed to.
Mr.. Davis, of West Virginia, called up
the resolution submitted by him early in
the last session, to promote the agricultu-
raj interests Of the country, and made a
long speech upon the subject.
The House, in Committee Of the Whole,
amended the Mexican Pension bill, so as to
include within its provisions all the sur
vivors Of the Union army in the late war
against the rebellion. The Committe rose
without final action, and the House adj
journed, after making Willis bill to re-
strict Chinese immigration, a special order
for the 2Sth instant.

A Minute Too Late.
MAUcH CHUNK, Pa, January IA.
TIE drop has just fallen, and il is
thought the necks Of Sharpe and McDon-
nell have been broken. A Geographic re-
prieYe has just arrived, but it is just about
one minute too late. The reprieve was re-
ceived in Mauch Chunk by telegraph at
1927, and the manager Of the Office rushed
to the Jail with it. He rang the bell vio-
lently about a minute before the drop fell,
and shouted for the doorkeeper. Mrs.
Mcdonnell and her children were at the
door weeping loudly, but the doorkeeper
did not seem to understand that the dis
patch was a reprieve. 1t was from Gov
ernor Hartranft, and it granted a reprieve
until Monday.
