to reduce the term of suspension to 10
years.
Wise (Dem.) of Pennsylvania contended
that unrestricted Chinese immigration
would result in great injury to the ma
terial interests of the country, and for
that reason he would give the bill his
hearty support.
Morse DEM of Massachusetts, based
his objection to the bill IN the ground
that it would destroy m between
the United States and China. he would
vote against it.
Joyce tRep.) of Vermont took the floor
to state the reasons why he should vote
adversely.
Dunnell (Rep.) of Minnesota based his
objection to the bill on the provision
which suspended immigration for 20 years.
If that period were reduced to 10 years he
thought he would vote for it, but as the
bill now stood, it would leave a national
faint which would do the country infinite
damage, not only now, but throughout the
years to come.
Orth (Rep.) Of Indiana took the floor
and replied in detail to the arguments
pressed by the advocates of the bill against
the unrestricted immigration of Chinese.
and opposed the measure, because 1t VIC
lated a solemn treaty Of the Government,
and because it made determinations
founded upon race and color.

suspension to 10 years was rejected by q
vote of 131 to 100.

suspension to Is years was rejected by a

New ORLEANS, March 23. - Captain
Loudns of the Army reports that at Lake
Providence and vicinity there are about
1900 persons, and from the Arkansas line
to the Southern line, east Of Carroll Parish,
not less than 1000 people, white and black,
who will require rations for thirty days,
and at least 2 900 people in Madison Parish
who will have to be assisted next month.
| BY order Of the Secretary of War 100000
rations for the overfiowed sections are
being delivered to the Commissioners.
Fifty thousand rations have beer sent to
Atchafolia. The rstions issued for %, 600
people. for Is days, will soon be exhausted.
II 40, 900 people apply for rations they can
not be supplied unless additional rations
are received. Provisions will be shipped
daily until all are supplied or the stock
exhausted, there being nc funds at the dis
posal of the Governor. The Times-D Demo-
crat furnished the State Commissioners
with forage for distribution, and then
bought a steamer for the Commissioner
to use. stocking it with corn, oats, bran
and hay for the sufferers.
East Of the Onchita River stock is re-
ported dying by hundreds. Apprehensious
are felt that the people will not be able to
plant a crop even il the water recedes in
time, en- account Of the loss of stock.
HELENA Ark. March 23.-The arrival
of the relief boat, General Barnard, was
welcomed last night by anxious hearts.
The rations are fewer than anticipated, and
before another arrival there must be much
suffering. As heretofore, COMMISSIONS
Mangum went to points below in the Sea
Breeze. where there Is said to be discon-
tent among many, there being a few of the
subcommittee who have been using the
supplies wrongfully, seeking to profit
themselves instead Of giving aid to the
genuine sufferers. Commissioners Man
gum will look into these affairs and settle
them properly before returning. A prom
inent physician from Hickman saws he
knows about 300 persons who are living
without the necessities Of life. Nearly all
Of their stock has persisted, and the few
remaining are fast disappearing, with star
vation under their eyes. There is not a
visible spot OF land, not even the top OF q
house in some places. The water rose
with such rapidity that it was impossible
to build RATS OF which to place the stock.
Most Of the people are huddled together
on tops of houses. A violent form of scar
let fever has broken out.
