WASHINGTON, March 10th. 1.-The bill agreed
upon by the House Education and Labor
Committee to restrict Chinese immigration
was reported to the House to-day by Willis
of Kentucky and under the newly adopted
rules was placed upon the calendar for action
as soon as it shall be reached in its regular
order. There are about twenty-five bills
ahead of it, but few of which are likely to
occupy any considerable time, and although
the annual appropriation bills will, of course,
be given precedence over the ordinary calen-
dar business, there is no reason to doubt that
this measure viii be reached in ample time to
secure it passage during the present session
1t is, as will be remembered, an exact copy of
the so-called fifteen passenger bill that passed
both houses of the last Congress, except that
section upon which the President has based
his veto, namely, the one expressly providing
for an absolute ahrogation Of two articles of
the Burlingame treaty, is omitted.
sciiurz' Agreement with tie Utes.
Especial TO the REcoR0-UNIeN.l
WASHINGTON, March 10Th. = Secretary
Schurz agreement with the Utes is criti-
cised by Senator Teller, OF Colorado, as one
which provides for perpetuation of all the
evils of the reservation system without any
of the advantages Of ownership Of the lands
in severalty, because, although the Indians
are given indivilul titles to the lands, there
is q requirement that they shall live upon
them separately. He believes, therefore, that
they will continue to herd together and
their tribal relations will not be disturbed"
He intimates that under the terms of this
agreement the Uncompahgre and Southern
Utes will be entitled to absorb about SOC, GOO
acres, and as they have the option of select
ing the lands ON Grand river and on Laplala
flar vi \ Al. L l..
in Utah and New Mexico, respectively, he is of
the opinion that they will decide to remain in
Colorado, and thereby absorb practically all
the agricultural land of the mining region that
is nominaliy relinquished for settlement
Teller says he intends to endeavor to have
Congress eliminate this option from the agree
ment, and in support of his effort he will
show that in the first United States treaty
with the Utes it was stipulated that they
should have no greater or different title to
the lands occupied by them than they had
under the Mexican Government, and the
Mexican Government he claims never recog-
nized the Utes as having any titles whatever
as owners OF the land
Senator Hill, of Colorado on the other
hand, warmly favors the ratification of this
agreement, for the reason that although it
does not effect everything that might be de-
sired. it is nevertheless, in his opinion, an ex-
tremely important step in the advance to-
wards aisettling of the Colorado Indian prob
lem. Hill believes that Secretary Schurz has
done everything he could to secure the total
removal of the Utes from Colorado, and that
he consented to the provision which may al
low some Of them to settle in severalty in
Colorado because he would otherwise have
failed TO obtain any agreement whatever.
The snseroceanic Canal Question.
WASHINGTON, March 10th.--A prominent
member of Congress to-day expressed the
opinion that good deal of opposition will be
manifested in the House against the Inter-
oceanic Canal Committees joint reso!u-
ton, which reaffirms The Monroe doctrine so
vigorously. In reply to the question by
whom this opposition will be made, he re-
piled, "Why, by men of sense. The resolu-
ton of the committee is q declaration OF war
We are in no position to have war with
foreign power. Such war would be on the
water. We have no navy-haven't ship
which is safe to send to sea with an arma-
ment and crew. We haven't gun in our
navy, except on the monitors-which are not
seaworthy will pierce an inch iron
plate" The general belief is, however. that
the resolution will be adopted by an over
whelming majority.
TiIdsn and the Presidency.
CHICAGO, March 10th.-The Times has a
two column article going to prove by pecu-
liar method that Tilden is still on the track.
1t is in effect that at the close of the last
campaign Abran S. Hewitt and lieutenant
Governor Dorsheimer presented bill to Mr..
Tilden the former for miscellaneous expenses
during the electoral count, and the latter for
hotel fare of members of the st. Louis Con
vention. The Governor at that time refused
to settle these claims, but recently they were
paid in full, amounting to about $l7 000
Iilden's friends know that he IS not in the
habit OF parting with that amount of money
without expecting something in return, and
as they look at it, he is already interested in
the campaign of 1880 to that amount, and
will send good deal more after it before the
Convention meets.

Pacific Nail and the Railroads,
NEW YORK, March 10sh.-Concerning the
recent contract between the Pacific roads
and the Pacific Mail, the Public says Under
the Constitution of California the Central
Pacific probably can get relieved whenever it
pleases from any stipulation involving the
payment of a subsidy TO the steamship COM
pany. On the other hand, it is stated that
the company has sold some of its best steam
ers on its China line to the railroads, and
that part of the bargain probably will hold.
