| enter the Ute reservation. The Cabinet,
in considering the matter to-day, decided
to issue no proclamation, but directed
General Hazen to move into the neighbor-
hood OF the reservation with a sufficient
force to maintain order. Mr.. Schurz said
to-day, at Cabinet meeting, that he was
much afraid there would be another Indian
outbreak this spring. The delay Of Con-
gress in deciding on the terms of the Ute
agreement was aggravating matters seri-
ously. All reports from Colorado show a
decidedly unsettled condition of affairs.
The miners are determined to enter the
Ute reservation, and will make as vigorous
an effort as they did to enter the Black
Hills. II Congress delays much longer
General Hazen will be able 10 do nothing.
Hazen is sent out to keep matters as quiet
as possible until the Ute agreement is rati-
fed, and then all cause Of trouble will be
obviated.
Senator Booth, by authority Of the Pub
lie Lands Committee, reported, with a
recommendation for its passage, his bill
providing for repayment Of fees and COM
missions or void entries.
Mr.. Booth to-day intodroduced in the
Senate a copy Of the House bill for the
relief OF General John A.. Suffer, appro-
p~riating $50 900 to reimburse him for SER
vices to early settlers, and to indemnify
him for the loss Of his famous Sobriante
grant. The same bill has been reported
favorably by the House Claims Committee
in several Congresses, but has always failed
to get further than the House calendar.
The House Committee on Coinage,
Weights and Measures had under consider
alton to-day the question of the location
Of a branch Mint in the valley of the Mis-
sissippi. General expressions of the Com
mittee were given. from which it was appa.
rent that a majority present we're in favor
of the establishment Of q. least two branch
Minis.
The House Committee on War Claims
has directed a favorable report upon the
bill providing for the return to H. John
son and others of the sum Of $40, 900, the
surplus of amounts assessed upon South
ern sympathizers in Tennessee for dam
ages done to public property during the
late war.
The Democratic Senators and Represent
atives are generally pleased with yester-
days proceedings Of the Harrisburg Con-
v~ention, and are hopeful that a good Pres
idential ticket will carry Pennsylvania for
the Democrats. 1t is conceded as one
effect, that Mr.. Randall will not have any
opposition within his party to his e-elec-
ton to Congress, and should the Demo-
Gratis carry the Legislature, Senator Wal
lace will be the unanimous choice of his
party for reelection to the Senate. There
is a very decided expression Of opinion at
the capital, however, that the result of the
Convention put a damper on the Presi.
dental prospects Of not only General Han
cock, but Speaker Randall as we'll, mas
much as neither Of them has his State be-
hind him, with that unanimity without
which it is hardly to be expected that other
States will rally to either as an available
| candidate.
A caucus Of Republican Senators was
t.eld this afternoon for the purpose of in
terchanging views on the adjournment
question. No caucus action was proposed
to be taken, but an entire unanimity of
sentiment was developed in favor of Coop
Grating with what is understood to be the
purposes Of the Democratic leaders, to
bring about a final adjournment Of the
present session of Congress Oh the LIST Of
June. The general impression seemed to
be, in case the session is not ended before
the meeting Of the Republican National
Convention, there is a strong probability
of its being prolonged for some time.
The Attempt to Unseat kellogg.

nounced-Chfnese Cannot be Nat.
uralixed I'm the United states.
New YORK, May 1.-The Herald's Wash
ington correspondent says On the motion
to squash the attempt to unseat Kellogg,
it will be found that thirteen Southern
Democratic Senators will vote yea, all but
one Of the whole number, who served in
the Confederate Army. On the other
hand, several Southern Senators who, like
Hill, occupied bomb-proofs and other
safe places during the late war, will vote to
unseat Kellogg, and will be beaten.
The Tribune, in referring to the pardon
of the Pennsylvania bribers, says The
whole business is disgraceful. Peaceful
and prosperous Pennsylvania must needs
blush. In the presence of distracted Cali
fornia, Dennis Kearney has been sent to
Jail for q year, merely for making incendi-
airy speeches.
The city journals generally denounce Bit
terly the action of the Board of Pardons.
The World, referring to the recent APP
plication Of five Cinnamon for naturaliza-
ton, declares that no alien Of the Mongol-
ian race can lawfully be made a citizen Of
the United States, unless a Mongolian can
be correctly described as q free white per-
son. On what grounds can persons Of the
Monaghan race be called white persons2'
Does not section 2,214 expressly exclude
all aliens but white persons" and persons
OF American nativity or descent? One Of
the Federal Courts has decided that Chi
nese cannot be naturalized in the United
States, but our New York State Courts 20
