telegraphed from here a few evenings ago
TO the effect that Minister Seward had sue
ceeded in negotiating a new treaty with
China, is pronounced false by Secretary
Evarts. The report was very circumstan-
tial, and even purported to give the pro-
visions Of the treaty, among which was in
cluded an agreement which would make
China an ally OF this Government in pre-
venting Chinese immigration to California.
Secretary Evarts says the negotiations are
about where they were q year ago, when
they were taken up largely in consequence
Of the debate on the Chinese bill in Con-
gress. The Secretary Of State seems to find
the Chinese o. willy a set of diplomats as
any he has to deal with. much more so, he
says. than the Japanese. who are a more
warlike and q franker race. He remarks
that they have grown to be very jealous Of
the profits made by American and other
foreign merchants who trade on their
shores, and are really contemplating the
adoption Of a policy leading to the exclu-
sion OF all foreigners from participation in
commerce with China. The Secretary
seems to dread the reopening by Congress
OF the Chinese question, and thinks it will
be q very delicate matter to adjust the rela-
lions OF the two countries, that there may
be q more suitable regulation of Chinese
immigration to this country, and at the
same time a free interchange OF commodi-
ties. This, he says. is the problem which
the State Department has to work out.
Evarts says that so far as he knows, the
Chinese Government as represented here is
not in favor Of any such treaty as has been
published in the newspapers. The report
n thHx. - r. A. -
been explicitly denied and discredited by
Assistant Secretary Hay, and by Mr.. Hayes,
as recently as last Saturday, is revamped
to-day with sundry changes and modifica-
tons, which only show how ignorant its
authors are Of the existing laws. Among
the most important provisions Of the al
legged treaty, described in one Of the WASH
ington evening papers, is said to be one
prohibiting the emigration Of lewd women
from China to the United States. The Chi
nese authorities are reported to have made
. stout opposition to it, and to have con-
sented to the provision with reluctance.
All of which is rather remarkable, in view
OF the fact that our own Federal Statutes
have for a number Of years covered pre-
cisely the same grounds.
Indian Affairs.
The Senate Committee ON Indian Affairs
yesterday completed their draft of the bill
submitted by Secretary SchurzS to carry
into effect his agreement with the Ute In
dams, and reported it to the Senate with a
recommendation for is passage with sew
eral amendments, all immaterial, except
the one amending the agreement SO that
no portion Of the money coming to the
White River Utes, under the agreement,
shall be paid them until they shall have
surrendered all the members of the tribe
who we're implicated in the murder Of
Agent Meeker and the employees at White
River. or until the Secretary Of the Interior
shall be convinced that every possible effort
to effect such surrender has been made.

The minority report of the Election Com
mittee declares that the only change in fact
| since Kellogg took the oath. il that the
majority in Congress has changed, and it
is sought by mere superiority Of party num-
bers. for the first time, to thrust a Senator
from the seat he holds, by virtue of the ex-
press and deliberate, final judgment Of the
| Senate. This act is characterized as a great
| political crime, to be classed with the re-
| bellion, with the Maine conspiracy, and
with the overthrow Of the Southern State
| governments. Hoar said the minority de-
sired nothing more than a full publication
, of the facts. aud began to read the report,
which occupied an our n half.
Hills majority report goes into the case
very fully. 1t alleges Kellogg to have been
| guilty of conspiracy, and to fraudulently
using his guberr atorial Office to prevent Q
free election by the Legislature, in order
that only Republicans might he elected;
that, failing in this, he conspired to change
the result as returned by the Election Com
~missioners that he prevented the legal
Legislature from assembling in New Or
leans by the use Of force, money, promises
Of Offices: and other corrupt means; that
he conspired fraudently to have Packard
| elected Governor to aid his election to the
Senate; that be excluded members elect of
the Assembly, and admitted members not
elected that he testified falsely to the
Election Committee, and thus induced the
latter to declare him Senator, and that he
| secured Government offices for his Cocoon
spirators. Testimony is quoted in ~extenso.
Hill moved that the report be recommitted,
to be called up on Monday.
