Especial to the SENTINEL

his Republican associates in the caucus
yesterday of his opinion as to the necessity
| of holding an executive session at an early
day, for the purpose OF ratiiying the
| Chinese treaties, and it is said he plainly
intimated his fixed determination to OBJ
tain one by some means or other. But he
was subsequently satisfied, as were also all
the other advocates of breaking the dead
lock for the transaction of executive bust
ness. that the -postponement of caucus ac-
ton for a few days will really promote the
attainment of this object, while at the
same time it will secure greater harmony
of feeling in the party. Senator Farley
says he has concluded to abstain from
offering any amendments to the Chinese
treaties, and will make no opposition to
their ratification in their present forms
without amendment. He still thinks they
are Of no practical value, but he is salts
fed, after mature investigation, that the
decentralization amendment would be
unnecessary and useless, as the Chinese
could be naturalized if our laws permitted
the naturalization of men Of their race
whether the treaty referred to the subject
OF naturalization or not; and, on the other
hand, as long as our naturalization laws
deal only with races, the "favored nation"
clause in the treaty cannot be held to con-
fer any rights of naturalization upon the
subjects of any nation, except so far as they
come within the color lines prescribed by
law. This view of the naturalization ques-
ton is the one which Senator Miller has
steadfastly held from the first, and which
he has fully prepared himself to maintain
in the Senate if it should come up for dis
cussion in that body. The prompt r~atiica-
ton of the treaties may be regarded as
certain.
Terrible Ferry Boat Disaster.
ELaIN Oils April 2S.-Between s and
o'clock this morning, a small boat running
over the Fox River, between East and
West Elgin, as a ferry, to take the place of
the bridge recently washed away, was cap
sized, and all the passengers, to the NUM-
Der Of fifteen, with but one exception,
were drowned. The boat was q mere
scow, just purchased at a cost of $3.50, and
was propelled by a rope. The first trip
was made yesterday. Those lost are
mainly school children, who were on their
way to school on the west side. The acct
dent occurred in mid-stream, but from
what cause cannot now be told.
CHICAGO, April ga News special says:
The ferry boat was crossing Fox River this
