The ChIne.. Qu..,io. E..,.

At the assembling OF the Labor Con.
gress in PittsbuI. Pa. Saturday, Mr.
Burgman. of California, presented the
following:
WHEREAS. The experience Of the last
thirty years in California and on the
Pacific Coast hIying proved conclu.
sively that the presence Of the Chinese
and their competition with white labor
is one Of the gratest evils with which
any country can be afflicted; therefore
be il
ReSoiued, That We will use our best
efforts 10 get rid o. this monstrous evil.
which threatens to iujure other parts of
the Union, unless checked by the dis
semination Of information respecting
its true nature, and by urging upon our
representatives in Congress. the abso-
Lutte necessity of passing laws entirely
prohibiting the immigration Of Chinese
into the United States.
This resolution occssioned a heated
debate, Mr.. Cummings Of Massachu-
setts opposing it strongly. Upon vote
being taken, however. it was adopted as
read. The laboring classes Of the East
are apparently awakening to the i'm
portance Of this question to them
selves. The above vote 80 indicates, at
least.

A Nrw Overland Combination.

1t Is reported from Chicago that q
consolidation Of railroad interests is
now being effected in the East. which
will exceed in magnitude anything of O
like character ever formed in this or
any other country. The road, 1t is said,
will bo direct transcontiuental line
from New York to Portland, Oregon,
and will comprise the following lines:
Now York, West Shore and Buffalo,
Buffalo and Chicago, Chicago, Milwau.
kee ard st. Panl, Northern Pacific, and
tho Oregon Railroad and Navigation
Company's roads. 1t is claimed that
tho entire line will be in running order
in two years. The distance by the road
now being constructed between Chicago
and New York is forty miles shorter
than any any other route. and the line
for its whole length runs through very
productive country. The hand Of Mr..
Henry Willard. Of the Oregon Railroad
and Navigation Company 5 road, is said
to be concerned in this agreement.

says the Tines- Rsrier. that Judge Leon.
ard Of the Supreme Court will next
year be candidate f,r tho Republican
nomination for District Judge Of Eiku
and Humboldt counties, which, here.
after, will form ono Judicial District.
1t is supposed that this is a portion Of
tho programme as arranged between
Governor Kinkead and Judge Leonard.
The former is q candidate for re-eiec-
tion. and both being from Humboldt
County one would necessarily have TO
stand aside, "a 1t could hardly be ex-
pected that the convention would give
two nominations to yone small county.
But by joining their forces delegation
could doubtless be secured from Hum
boldt favorable TO both of the gentle.
men and without any conflict OF interest
between the two.

proceeded to hold pleasant conversation

He is very prosperous" 81 also," said the
good-natured stranger, lam going to see my
daughter and son-in-law." "Ah! Is your SON.
in-law well off" asked the merchant. "Pret-
ty well; but as he has to carry on his work all
alone, it is rather tiresome." SIS your daugh-
ter rich?" mot as rich as she'd like to be-"
"She likes to spend good deal on her tot
letter" mo; but she would like to give a
great deal in charity "She's good womaD,"'
said the merchant, heartily; sit is to be hoped
that your son-in-law's business will improve.
Goodbye, sir: come to see us and bring your
daughter; we shall be happy to make her
acquaintance" The train arrived at this mo-
ment and the traveller whose son-in-law's bust

surrounded by grand personages IN uniform.
After having politely saluted the amazed mer-

the dealer in paper and fancy leather goods
had been travelling with the Prince Max OF

At II o'clock yesterday forenoon a couple Of
excursionists took seats on the east portico OF
the City Hall directly under the window of the
Chief of Police. He was a bean pole looking
chap of % with dust an inch deep on his back,
and she was an authenticated angel OF ~
wearing solid shoe and chewing three guilds
of gum rolled into one For long time they
sat and looked at the fountains and sighed and
were silent. Then he tenderly queried;
"Hanner isn't it dreamy"
"Yum," she answered.
81 could sit here forever" he whispered.
"I don't believe oould-Id be hungry"
More silence and sighs and then he took her
elbow in his hand and said:
Hammer, I'm hungry now"

'Sposen l bought you peanuts and candy and

"Hold on, Hammer. Your pa needn't know
