THE CHINESE BILL IN CON-
GRESS.
ITS PASSAGE NO LONGER A
DOUBT.
ESPECIAL TO THE SENTINEL.


bill did not reach the point of action yes
terday afternoon, but gratifying progress
was made towards its passage, which Is
universally conceded to be certain, and
which, according to the present outlook,
may confidently be expected to occur. The
bill received strong support yesterday
from Senators Maxey (Dem.) OF Texas
and Garland DEM Of Arkansas. both OF
whom are close reasoners and OF high
standing in the Senate, and its passage
was also materially promoted by the short
but admirable speech OF Bayard. The re-
marks Of Salisbury DEM of Delaware
would have been very satisfactory to the
friends of the measure had he not sug-
gested an amendment, which ingalls,
(Rep.) of Kansas subsequently offered, to
limit the operation Of the bill to 10 years.
This amendment was promptly and Wig
orously opposed by Miller, who pointed
out very clearly that its adoption would
be in the highest degree injurious to the
fundamental purpose Of the bill, and
there is no doubt that under the leader
ship of the Pacific Coast Senators the
friends of the measure will easily defeat
this covert attack upon it.
An interesting feature OF yesterdays
proceedings was the quick reply given by
Jones of Nevada to Hoar's exultant in
quiry whether the Chinese had not shown
themselves to be IN inventive race,
by inventing the mariners compass,
the art of printing, and gunpowder,
Jones' readiness in debate, and the extent
and accuracy of his information, enabled
him to floor the scholarly Massachusetts
Senator with great ease. by promptly re-
ferring him to the highest modern author
ity in this particular field Of research, for
the proof that the common belief in re-
gard to the origin of these inventions is
wholly erroneous, and followed up this
retort by stating a fact well known to
connoisseurs, that the arts and manu-
features Of China during the past 500
years have suffered q manifest decadence,
instead of exhibiting the progress which
would be expected from an inventive peo-
pie. Farley's remarks, supplementary to
his argument of the day before, and
| Miller's management of the bill yester-
| day, were alike judicious and effective, and
although some disappointment may be
felt that 1t has not yet passed, the Pacific
Coast people may rest assured that it has
gained strength, and its triumphant pas.
sage by the Senate is no longer q matter
of any doubt, but simply a question Of
two or three days.
A Street Row Between IL. j. Morgan
and s. N. Nichols.
MEMPHIS, March 4.-Yesterday Afternoon

Memphis Avalanche on Madison street, ant
saying, Defend yourself, you old scoun
drel," began to assault him with a heav!
cane, hitting him three times on the head
and knocking him to the ground. TIL,
men then clinched, but we're separated b,
friends. Morgan is q large, strong man
but Nichols has the reputation Of being tn
strongest man in Memphis. The cause o
the encounter was an editorial written b.
Nichols, calling Morgan TN artful dodge
and other names. Morgan requested
Nichols not to have anything more Of tina
nature in his paper, or he would hold hin
responsible. Nichols personally Endorsed
what had already been said. He gave

fearless. and there is every probability tina
some arrangement according to the cod
duello will be made.
The Pedestrians.
New York, March 4.--The pedestrians
score at 8 P. N. stood: Hazael 5s4. sulli
van 5l1, Noremac 542. Hughes 62s, Fitz
gerald $50, Hart $50. Rowell withdrew
yesterday. When Hughes heard Of 1t. h
said "Ihave carried my point, and bro
ken him up" This is . fact and the Eng
lish pedestrian has for the first time hat
and by Q man who had sacrificed his chance
Of winning for the purpose OF pushing til,
| champion so hard In the first part Of tn,
race that he could not possibly go through
until the end. Nature could stand nc
more. Hughes had pushed Rowell the
frat day and compelled him to make 15C
miles in o little over % hours, and had
kept the strain up on the succeeding day
until Rowell could not possibly 60 much
further. 1t is probable that Hazael will
make 600 miles, unless he is prevented by
his hackers. Fitzgerald will reach about
585 miles, with second place. Every man
on the track will save his entrance fee.
