The President yesterday signed and APP
proved the bill to investigate epidemic dis
eases, generally known as 'the yellow fever
bill, which recently passed Congress. The
bin, as originally presented by Mr.. Harris,
was defeated; new bill was then framed BY
him, which passed by large majority. The
bill makes the penalty for violating quaran-
tine laws $1,000; requires our consuls at vari-
GUS foreign ports to give each American YES

the Reputation 81 the debt would be 70 the
average taxpayer and then calmly consider
what damage the proposed wholesale repudi-
alton Of the debt will infiict upon the true,
commercial and political interests OF Louisi-
ana. When he has done this, free 81 any tear
OF the condemnation Of q misguided pubic
sentiment and under the holy influence q g
true and diginterested devotion to the inter-
est Of his fellOW-citizens, let him vote i ne
can for the scheme presented In the majority
report Of the committee on the debt.
Now. let the DEMOCRAT not be understood
as supporting the bondholders against the
neople. The true interest Of the public
creditor and the true interest OF the people
are Identical The ground assumed by the
organs OF the bondholders that the debt
must be paid, principal and interest,
as It now stands, is antagonistic TO
the interests OF the people and the
State, and we firmly maintain that It cannot
be entertained. II the Convention surrenders
to this demand OF the bondholders 1t will live
Infamous In the annals Of the State. Upon
the OTHER hand, the scheme OF reputation
presented by the committee on the debt must
not be accepted. It will dishonor the State
and blight every interest and industry In 1t
for years to come, and neither this nor the
next generation will escape the effects Of such
line of action. A compromise in the inter-
est OF all parties, by which the equitable
rights OF the public creditor will be conceded
and the interests OF the people protected,
must be made. On this point we will make
some suggestions tomorrow.

The Stewart Grave Robbery.

Some weeks ago it was stated byIsev-
erzi vi The New York journals that the
body of A. 7. Stewart had been re
covered The rumors we're based On
the fact tba, Chief Donovan, of Hobo
ken. and Capt. KeaIy, chief of the de-
tective force, had followed a clew into
New Jersey, which led them to the
belief that the body had been carried
to spot near Passaic. bull" Kelley

Traced from the Hoboken ferry, and

Instances making a detour of a couple
sf miles and then returning to the
main road again Kelley disappeared
and has not been seen since the BODY
wac stolen.
Two morning papers about week
ago were induced to publish stories to
the effect that the body had been re-
covered. This was done at the insti-
cation Of interested persons, to make
the robbers believe that what was sup
posed to be the body of Mr.. Stewar'
had been returned. 1t was thought
that this would force the thieves into
negotiations for the return of tue body

hat it was private property and that
no one except tue owners could give
he desired permission. The person
then went away, and soon afterward re-

It was determined to open the grave
early on the following morning. At
about $50 O'Clock Tuesday morning
the grave was opened and the cotiio

When the robbery was first discover

the coffin there was an aperture in the
velvet covering. 1t was irregular In
shape, evidently having been cur with
an ordinary knife by the robbers for
the purpose of indeutifcation. There
were five sides TO the cut, and the en-
tire length was about five inches and
Its width three inches The person
who had the coffiu dug Tuesday had In
his possession piece of brown paper

The Anti.ChineSe Bill.

SAN FRANCISCO Jan. 29.--Leadipe
journals comment on the passage by
the House OF the antl-Chinese bill
The Call congra'ulates the community
on the action of the House, aud claims
tina. the Senate cannot refuse its prompt
passage without throwing away all
chances of Republican victory in CAL
ifornia in the Congressional election.
The Post approves the measures and
argues that the manner in which the
question was managed, though tran
silent Democratic success, will not affect
the relative s'atus Of the parties IN
Californis in the coming election. The
Alta is silent. The Chronicle contents
itself with brief editorial review of
the nature of the bill and it's manage
ment by the Democratic members
The Bulletin considers the bill will
solve the troublesome industrial pro-
blem, and dwells strongly on the pro-
lection it will afford against epidemics
citing the plague now prevailing in the
Orient, and previous small pox vista
tons to this coast. 1t believes the
Senate, by promptly passing the bill,
can deprive the Democracy of any ad-
vantage they may have gained in the
House. The Sacramento Record Un-
ion characterizes the manner of the
passage of the bill as a desperate at
tempt on the part Of Damncrats to re
cover lost prestige in California, and
the bill itself as gitteriog generality
which should be repcdiated, together
with the party that offers it The Ex-
aminer approves the bill. giving the
Democracy, mainly. credit for it. Lo
cal representatives of the Democratic
party are jubilant over the action of
the House and claim the bill is strictly
a Democratic measure. Republicans
regard it as an attempt to make Demo-
cratic capital, and are grateful for it as
a restrictive measure. Kearney calls
it a mere political dodge, and says Con-
gress would never have touched the
question but for campaign purposes.
Ex- Minister to China F. F. Low be-
lieved the bill would be of little prac-
tical effect as an attempt on the part of
certain politicians to obtain the support
of the 'sand lots" At the Chinese
consulate the bill is considered anita
gouistic with the treaty provisions, and
likely to result in Implications wit h
Great Britain.
