The New Chinese Bill.
WASHINGTON, April 20th.-Senator Miller ascer.
tained as the result OF some Quiet canvassug this
afternoon that 1t would be impolitic 10 try set
aside the Mississippi river improvement BILL and he
therefore contented himself with giving notice to
the Senate that he viii call up the Chinese bill
soon as the above-meo tiored business shall have
been disposed Of He accompanied this notice with
the remark that he had been assured by the pro-
moters OF the Mississippi river bill that its consid
Grafton would not require more than day longer
ana IN view OF THIS expectation, and OF its recog-
Dized grest Importance he would not to-day antag-
onize it. There seems to be very little doubt that
this obstruction will be removed by final vote at
late hour morrow forenoon, and that the Chinese
bill Will then be taken up and become the unfinished
business for Monday, to which date, after holding
an executive session, the Senate may as usual on
Fridays, be expected to adjourn The length of the
discussion on this new Chinese bill in the Senate
cannot be accurately predicted but il it be promptly
commenced on Monday there is fair prospect Of
reaching final vote upon the measure BY Wedues
day, or possibly on Tuesday.
