supervisors OF Joseph Simpson, Of the
second district of Pennsylvania, and

Lamar and Bruce took opposite sides. 1t

IT is stated on very reliable auth ority,
says Washington dispatch of the 9Th
inst, that, Notwithstanding the apparent
inactiOn of our government in the direc
tiOn of negotiations with China on the
| subject Of Chinese emigration, such ne
gotiatiOns have long been going On, and
| progressed SO far as to warrant the state
| ment that the Chinese government will
propose the appointment of joint COM
mission, which shall frame a new treaty.
| 1t is further stated that in making the
proposal, the Chinese government con-
cedes in advance the whole migration
question, by agreeing that the new treaty
may provide for restrictions upon such
immigration. The administration is said
to be very hopeful that this opens the
way to the entire settlement of the Chi
nese question, and the removal of all
agitation on the subject. Prof. Angel,
of Michigan university, is understood to
have been selected as the head of the
American side of the proposed commits
sion.
