The Chinese Commission.
Especial to the REooRD-USIoSl
WASHINGTON, April 27th.-Hon. John F
Swift spent an hour or two on the floors oi
the Senate and House to-day, and was exten.
sively introduced by the members of the Cal
itornia delegation to prominent Representa-
tives and Senators of both parties. Mr..
Swift had long conversation with his col
league, Mr.. Trescott. and Secretary Evarts,
both of whom assured him, as did the Presi.
dent yesterday, that they warmly sym
pathize with the people of the Pacific coast in
regard to the evils Of Chinese immigration,
and earnestly desire modification of the
Burlingame treaty to restrict it. 1t is proper
TO report, in this connection, that Mr.. Tres.
colt called at Horace Davis residence one
evening last week. and went over the
entire Chinese subject with him in
a conversation which lasted for three
hours, and which resulted in a mutual
discovery that they are exactly in accord as
to the nature and extent of the evil of Chi
nese immigration, and the right and duty OF
the General Government to protect our peo-
pie against it. 1t appears to be certain,
therefore, that the two Commissioners will
work together harmoniously. Minister An
gell has not yet returned from Michigan.
Mr.. Swift hopes the instructions of the Com
mission will be completed in time to enable
them to start for the Pacific coast early next
week. MIR. Trescott will probably take his
family with him to San Francisco, and send
them to Santa Barbara to remain during his
absence in China. He and Governor Pa
checo and Mr.. Swift dine with Horace Davis
this evening.

The Democratic split In PennsyIvr mia.
HARRIsBURG, April 27th.-S B. McGowen,
of the Vaux delegation, arrived this evening,
and at once began work with view to effect
a compromise between the Warren delega-
tions. AT first his arguments seemed to have
favorable effect, and were were well re-
ceived by Cassidy, McGowen and Barger, of
the regular delegation, but at 10 o'clock to-
night all negotiations were broken off, as the
leaders of the regulars stated that after
repeated attempts they found they could not
control their followers. The basis of the
proposed compromise was, that half the dele
cation from both sides should be ad-
mitted to the Convention. The dele.
gates from the State at large were
divided on the question of admitting
half of both Philadelphia delegates, but
were willing to adhere to any conclusion that
the Philadelphia people might arrive at SO
long as their direct interests were not inter
fered with. The regular delegation is under
stood to be made up generally of Wallace's
adherents, while the Vaux or contesting del.
egation Is strongly in Randall's favor. Both
sides have been canvassing all day long, and
tonight both Wallace and Randall claim to
be able to control to-morrow's Convention.
If the Philadelphia fight should be carried
into the Convention, it is believed that ex-
Senator Andrew I'll. Dill will be the Wallace
candidate for temporary Chairman, while
ex- Congressman Stenger will be the Randall
candidate.
HARRIsBURG, April 27th.-LATER.-It is
believed that r. Z. Monaghan will be the
Randall candidate for temporary Chairman,
instead of Stenger.

General Sherman on West Point.
NEW YORK, April 27th.-A Tribune Wash
ington special says: General Sherman says
West Point Academy is the creature of Con-
gress In my opinion there is no place where
prejudice of color is less regarded than in the
army. When Flipper graduated both the
Secretary of War and myself shook hands
II
doing well. / am glad to say, and respected
by every officer in the army. The news
papers are responsible for all the clamor
about West Point. The heads of the Aca-
denny are Northern men. There is less haz.
ing at West Point than at any private insti-
tuition.
Senator Logan Says Grant Will Not with
draw.
CHICAGO, April 27th.-A Times Washing
ton special says: Senator Logan has returned.
He was the special object of interest at the
Capital. He said Grant talked very freely
with him on general subjects, eschewing pol
itics, but, said Logan, Grant will not with
draw under any circumstances. One gentle
man here remarked that it was generally un-
derstood tkat Grant will not be kept in the
field unless nominated on the first ballot.
Logan replied: Grant is in the hands of
friends, who will not withdraw him, no mat
ter how many ballots are taken. That is the
whole case" This remark is taken by Blaine
people to mean that the campaign is to be an
aggressive one.

ure of the present heavy immigration from
Europe is its steady movement West and
Southwest by the Baltimore and Ohio Rail-

trians and Swedes at Baltimore last Sunday.
The DE Young Case-Furfher Comment.
New YoRK, April 27th.-The Commercial
Advertiser thus comments on the De Young
case 1.-The case shows the lawless spirit in
that city. De Young shot the elder Kalloch.
No punishment was meted out to him, and
he boasted that he expected none. Why
should not young Kalloch think if De Young
could shoot his father with impunity, be
might not safely shoot the latter The Judge
who allowed De Young to run at large should
share in the responsibility of De Young's
murder"
