ANOTHER VOTE FOR U. S. SENATORS


ALBANY, June 12.-In the bribery inves-
tigation case, Bradley took the stand. He
voted first for White and Cornell, and later
for Conkling and Platt. He had talked
with Sessions, but had given him no rea-
| son for the change. Many Of his constitu-
ents were friendly to Conkling and Platt.
Cross-examined-He was an oil dealer OF
| Olean; had gotten out lumber for the navy
yard previously. He then proceeded to
| give the history OF his business career,
of which the chief points were that he had
boarded at the Inebriate Asylum at Bing-
hampton for eight months; had been en-
gagged in several law suits about business,
and that the Peg Leg Railroad Company
had produced a paper signed by him, CIV
ing the right of way to the company which
he had told his partner he had not signed.
Said he was frequently at the rooms OF
Plat and Crowley during the canvass last
January for Senator, until he made up his
mind which he would support. Had talked
frequently with Sessions, who urged him
to vote for Depew or Rogers. Witness
gave him a very strong answer, and Ses-
sions knew he would not vote for Depew
under any circumstances, or for any one
u O oCooioho AuadC ~ OAhCi Va
money in January, and in this canvass
knew witness would support Conkling and
Plat. Subsequently witness gave him to
understand he was still a stalwart. Did
not vote for Conkling and Plat on the
first ballot because some of his constitu-
ents were opposed to them. Peckham
questioned him as to who were at the many
stalwart conferences at the Delavan House,
saying his object was to show a conspiracy.
The stalwart counsel objected, and the
question was temporarily postponed.
The Canada Pacific RailrOad-COn.
s%tructing it Principally with
Chinamen.
CHICAGO, June 13.-The Tribune's OF
tawa intelligence, just received from
British Columbia, says that Mr.. O~nderdonk
of San Francisco is pushing forward his
contract on the Canada Pacific Railroad
with great energy. His contract is for
1877 miles of very difficult country. There
are three tunnels to be made, and the
work is very tedious. One tunnel is i 600
feet long. There are some 5000 men en-
ployed on the Onderdonk work, of which
half, approximately, are Chinese. There is
among the people of British Columbia An
intense and increasing aversion to the en-
ployment Of Cinnamon, but the con-
tractors appear to find it profitable to EN-
ploy them. They are fairly good laborers,
and are reckoned valuable in proportion
Of three to two white men, or thereabouts.
All the men work on the 10-hour system
alike. Cinnamon are paid 81 per day,
White men receive 81 rs and ST. 80, and
skilled or extra good men in tunnel work
receive from 81 80 to 50 per day. The
Chinese are employed by arrangements
between the contractor and the agents Of
the great Chinese companies, who engage
to supply a given number Of men. The
contractor has nothing to do with the
Cinnamon individually. They work un
der white foremen and timekeepers; each
Chinaman ia numbered and his number il
credited with SO many hours work each
day by the timekeeper. The contractor
pays the Chinese agent. The system
works smoothly, and on this account, and
because there is no getting drunk on OF
after payday by the Cinnamon, some pre-
fer employing them rather than white
men. They are sober and industrious,
but many Of them have the opium habit,
and the whites are, unfortunately, con-
tracing it. The Chinese prove themselves
ever ready to acquire the knowledge Of
work, pick up new methods quickly and
work as regularly as machines the ten
hours through. The number Of Chinese
laborers has been nearly doubled this year.
There was one ship load came direct from
China, and every steamer from San Fran
cisco this Spring has brought from 80 to
200. There is q general feeling that the
Province is not deriving anything like the
advantage from work OF construction that
was expected. This is largely owing to the
employment Of Chinese, whose rice, food
and supplies are imported, and whose
earnings all go out Of the country. Be
sides, the contractor gets q large proper
ton Of his supplies from San Francisco.
Rescued.
NIAGARA FALLS, June IA handsome
young woman registered as Mrs. Brown,
from New York, went to Lund Island this
afternoon, threw her umbrella IN the water
and watched its course. She then stopped
under the railing, thrust something into her
bosom and grasped her skirts for a plunge.
Two Bostonians, watching her movements,
caught and carried her from the scene. 1t
is developed that she has friends at the Ur-
suline Convent. Morrisiana, N. Y. She
stated that she had trouble with her hus-
band and desired to die.

again until last week when White called at
his house. He told Hall that he had made
a large fortune in California, aud had deter
mined to pay him back, but his property
was so tied up in securities that he could
not sell to advantage at once. Hall, who
Is now seventy years Of age, and in strait
ened circumstances, was delighted at the
prospect, and again fell under Whites in
huenee. White called on him several
times. and Saturday got $500 from the
old gentleman, leaving an envelope which
he said contained a fortune in bonds. Mrs.
Hall becoming suspicious took the envelope
to Superintendent Walling, who found
