Washington, March l9.-The special
report ON the Chinese immigration
question OF the house committee ap-
pointed 10 inquire into the cause Of the
depression of labor was presented to the
house to-day. The majority is signed
by the chairman, Hendrick ID. Wright,
and Nessrs. Mureh, Dickey and O'Con-
nor, and was accompanied by two mi
nority reports. one signed by Messrs.
Martin and Sherwin and the other by
Cowgirl Of Indiana The majority re-
port, il is asserted, Is based ON careful
examination Of witnesses, and Mt once
concludes that Chinese immigration is
destroying the trade and materially af-
fecting the business Of San Francisco
and the whole Pacific coast. Thous-
ands OF industrious white men and
women are absolutely thrown out Of
employment, Chinese labor being used
throughout the whole coast as substi-
tute for white labor. Il asserts that
the subject Is assumed alarming i'm
portanee, and that the entire popula-
tion Of the Pacific coast. as far as could
be ascertained. Is hostile to Chinese en-
igration, and especially in the city of
San Francisco. where the population Of
5000 or 10000 Chinese are located in
the heart OF the city. This Asiatic
element Is governed 10y their own laws,
living In dirt and filth, and evading all
responsibility Of municipal taxation.
This state Of things, the majority say,
induced the authorities Of the state TO
propose law and submit II 10 the peo-
pie, TO ascertain the sentiment of citi-
zens Of the state upon the propriely Of
allowing Chinese emigration 10 con-
tinue.

a SENATOR rxrEEvrEwED.
Hon. WIN. sharon YieIds 20 the Inevi-
tahle-Ifs Position

Senator Sharon. the '.absent senator"
from Nevada, went west yesterday on
No. train. Learning that he was
aboard the train, a minister plenipo-
tentiary and ambassador extraordinary
from the LEADER called upon the dis
tinguished statesman. Mr.. Sharon
didn't seem to enjoy the process Of in
teryiewing very much. His smooth
face flushed at first, but, recognizing
that he must fall a victim to the inevi-
table, he set his jaws firmly for the or
deal and told the writer to proceed.
We did, with the following result:
"Shall you return to the senate dur
ing this session, Mr.. Sharonf"
"No, shall not. l told the senate
SO. Didn't you read my speechY"
We had, but ventured TO remark
that perhaps Mr.. Sharon may conclude
his pressing business in time to go
back before the session ends.
In reply the millionaire senator said:
mo, sir; my business is more import
ant TO me than statesmanship, just
now. You see the Ralston business re-
quires my constant attention. At any
rate, the senate has no attraction for
me-"
Then you will not be a candidate for
reelection. Mr.. Sharon?"
"Not at all. sir. My term will ex-
pire next March. shall go out with
out regret, and II the people OF Nevada
want my seat oiled sooner. they can
have my resignation at any time"
"Your successor will be n republican,
will he not?r
s'No doubt Of 1t, sir; no doubt Of 1t.
And you may as well say that he will
be good man, too. I'm not mention
ing names, mind you."
''IIow is the presidential question on
the coast, Mr.. Sharon?"
Mr.. $. with a knowing look )-"IIow
soon will the train startY"
just then the handsome daughter of
the rich senator came from the farther
end Of the car to ask her father some
questions, and the writer withdrew. We
had gained our point-we interviewed
a gentleman who would almost as soon
lose fortune as be interviewed by a
journalist. Still, he bestowed a warm
grasp on departing and invited us to
call on him when we chanced to visit
Frisco. or course we shall make ar
rangements Immediately for the trip.

States that the clauses In the treaties

countries he abrogated and. sannulled.
Placed on calendar. The minority re-
port was also ordered printed.
The house ut once went into commit
Tee on the special deficiency bill, and
after spirited debate Ewing appealed
to the democrats 10 accept the Garfield
compromise, and to modify those bad
election laws, SO as 10 make them non-
partisan, otherwise n cry Of nullifica-
ton would so up all over the north.
Hawley excitedly declared that the
republican party rendered no compro-
mise; II execrated the word.
Ewing said the supreme court having
declared constitutional the election
laws, they must be SO regarded at pres
ent, but only temporarily. because the
public mind never accepted rs final n
supreme court decision which was OBJ
tained by party division Of the tribu-
nal They had learned that the fire Of
partisanship burned ms liercely beneath
the ermine as beneath the jacket Of the
people, but 1t was not necessary for
representatives to vote any sum OF
money which might be demanded for
the execution OF laws they believed ut
terly subversive OF the liberty Of the peo-
pie. The majority Of the north were
tired Of the republican party. 1t held
its power by clamor about southern
brigadiers and tho renewal by people Of
the south Of opposition to the constitu-
tional government by secession or nulli-
fcation.
Williams wis would consent to no
compromise until he was prepared to
vote for the repeal OF the election laws.
Randall said to-day's discussion mar
rowcd the issue to this. This law was
on the statute books. Democrats be-
lieved 1t unconstitutional, and Sprin-
gers amendment was TO take from that
act . partisan administration Of its pro-
vision. Republicans would not have
the law changed.
Hawley, Randall and Robeson had an
excited debate, In which Randall de-
clared the republicans had administered
this law in an outrageous manner.
Garfield said, speaking for himself
alone as ever, his first object in legisla-
tion was to be right.
