ever memorable In the history Of the

came Immediately alongside the wharf,

Of invited citizens, were collected to wei.

arc only two great difficulties to be over.
come-the Chagres river and the deep

surmounted by turning the headwatsrs
OF the river into another channel, and
the second will disappear before wells

The A%ntI.Chinese Bill.

WASHINGTON, January 22.-Tho EUen.
ing Star, editorially noticing the favor.
able action OF the House Committee on
the bill to restrict Chinese immigration,
says: 1.-THE members OF Congress from
the Pacific States are unanimously In
favor OF tho bill. The question Of party
does not enter into their support OF this
measure. aud they unhssitatiugly do.
clare that no party can receive the
electoral vote from the States they rep
resent that opposes this bill. The news.
papers Of these States, without regard
to party. reiterats this declaration. and
In the face Of the Presidential election
it Is easy to realize how much influence
this announcement will have upon Con-
gress. The States Of California, Ne.
vada and Oregon have twelve electoral
votes; more than enough In q tolerably
close contest to decide the choice Of
President" The Star is OF opinion
that the bill will pass the House; but, as
Senators are not 30 free in expressing
themselves upon pending measures as
Representatives. the editor thinks 1t
next to impossible to predict the fate OF
the measure in the Senate.
