Senator Logan did not call up this
morning the question of the refer
ence of the bill introduced by him
Yesterday to amend the bill restrict
ing Chinese immigration. The Cal
lfOrnia senators expected Logan
would insist that his bill be sent
Immediately TO the judiciary COM
mittee. Senator Miller believes a
majority of the Senate will vote to
refer the bill to the committee on
foreign relations. He says that If
that reference is not made, there is
no danger of the passage OF the bill
as it can unquestiOnably be de-
feated. When the question OF refer
ence again comes before the Senate
Mr.. Miller and Mr.. Farley will
each, in all probability, make
speeches showing the improperly
of the passage of L0gan's bill. 1t is
limited that the senator from Illinois
made his demonstration yesterday
more in the interest of certain rail-
roads, whose support be expects to
have in his fight for reelection to
the Senate, than with any hope of
; amending the Chinese bill.
