The New China Bill.
WASHINGTON, April 17.-Page's
anti-ChIuese bill was, after some
little opposition by Morse, OF llas-
sachusetts. and others, brought be-
fore the House of Representatives
this afternoon and passed amid a
scene of excitement, by the decisive
majority of 2U4 to 81. The only
negative votes were those cast by "a
Republicans and three Democrats of
the most pronounced sentimental
stripe, and nearly all from New En- :
land. Members OF both parties dis
played remarkable anxiety to place
themselves upon the record as OPP
posed to further Chinese immigra-
non and place their respective par
ties upon a footing which would
leave no complaint to be found bv
the great mass of voters who are
affected by the bill
Classifying greenbackers accord
ing to the usual political qualitica-
tons on positions not involving
financial questions, the vote 10 day
on the passage Of the Chinese bill
shows that lO7 Democrats and "a
RerublIcans( total POO were recorded
III the affirmative, and 81 Repubi-
cans and three Democrats Oo.a' 37)
voted i'll the negative. These 81 pre-
out and out, implacable, aud died
ln-the-wool opponent of any re-
strlctlve or anti Chinese legislation,
and are to be credited geographical
ly as follows: Massachusetts,, 4;
Vermont, 2; New Hampshire, B.;
Maine aud Connecticut, l each; New
York, !; iowa, 5; Ohio, 5; Wiscon-
siu 3, and New Jersey, Indiana and
Tennessee l each. The three DEM
ocratS dissenting We're Bragg of
Wisconsin, ii trdenburg of New Jer.
sey, and Morse of Massach .setts.
The last named member made his
opposition very conspicuous early
this afternoon, aud nearly succeeded
III preventing any action on the
CHINA bill tor several weeks. Earn.
eat personal appeals had the desired
effect, however, and only five OF the
seventeen committees made use of
ilelr privilege. and the Chinese bill
vas brought before the house with
out further difficulty at about the
usual hour for adjournment. The
subsequent proceedings were very
animated and at times exciting.
From the moment the bill was de-
clared to be before the house there
was not u question in the mind of
any one III Ic5ard to Its triumphant
passage, but IL contest simply for
advantage of political position and Il
general scramble among members Of
all parties to exhibit their superior
| decision in the salue Cause.
There were seventeen committees
ahead OF the education and labor
committee, each OF which had prior
! right to offer one bill or resolution
ior passage under suspension of
rules, and each OF them might CON
sumo at least thres-quarters of al
hour IN ;he half hours explanatory
debate allowed on each motion. and
the time required for the quickest
possible Ioll call. When, therefore.
