The ship Canal Bill.

Washington special to Baltimore Day.l M
The Maryland delegation in Congress has
concluded that there is no reasonable ground
for expecting the passage during this session
of the Maryland and Delaware Ship Canal
bill. Therefore, it has been decided as the
next best move in furtherance of the project
to endeayor to have provision made for the
continuance of the work of perfecting the
examination and survey of the routes, and
of procuring additional evidences of the vast
national, commercial and military import
ance of the proposed canal. This determi-
nation took shape to-day in an amendment
offered by Senator Groome, and referred to
the Committee on Commerce, by which it is
intended to insert in the river and harbor
appropriation bill new clause in these
words: "That the sum of $4,000 be and
the same is hereby appropriated to be ex-
pended under the direction of the Secretary
of War in completing the examination and
surveys and locating the ship canal to con-
meet the Chesapeake and Delaware bays"

INTERESTING TO FRUIT MEN.
A Paying Business in Raising Pears in
H California.

[san Francisco Letter in Chicago Tribune.1
Mr. Mills, the editor of the Sacramento
Record Uaion and the president of the Cali
fornia Associated Press, during long ride
around Sacramento took me to see Sacra-
mento Valley pear orchard. There are
millions of acres in the Valleys of the Sacra-
mento, San Joaquin, Yuba and Feather
Rivers, where splendid crops are raised with
out irrigation. There Is no rain, but still
the ground is constantly moist from seepage.
The Yuba, Sacramento and Feather Rivers
are several feet above the surrounding
farms-eaused by the debris from the
hydraulic mines in the mountains. The
levee holds them up above the farms.
The pear-orchard visited has 20 acres in it.
There are It's trees to the acre. 1t is four
years old. Last year the trees paid the
owner $3.50 tree, and nearly $3.50 an acre.
In few years each tree will pay $40. The
orchard is beautifully cultivated. Not a
weed is to be seen. Every fall the top of
every pear-limb is cut off 1S inches, to keep
the tree down. All California grape-vines
are cut down in the fall to one main stem
with a few stub limbs at the top. The vines
thus stand alone.
Cinnamon do all the work in these grape
and pear orchards. They cultivate the trees
trim them, and pick the fruit. They are
patient, honest farm-laborers. The universal
California verdict 1t that Chinaman works
as well when you are not watching him as
when your eyes are upon HIM. They never
stop working till the work is done.
81 had piece of work to be done," said
Mr.. Mills, "where could test the China
mans faithfulness. first employed a good
negro for two weeks at $15. At the end of
that time employed Chinaman afternoons
| for two weeks at $3.50 to do the same work.
| found the Chinaman did more work during
| the. afternoons he worked, and for which
paid him $3.50, than the negro did during
the entire two weeks time and for which
paid him SIS"
The Pacific Coast needs labor. Hops are
a splendid crop here, but they can get no
| one to pick them. Fruit pays splendidly ;
but it takes the subtle Chinaman to pick it..
| Still, if the Chinaman sends 800 out of every
| 500 that he earns back to China, of what
| good is he to the State Z! His days work, for
which he gets 81, may make 50 worth OF
wealth. He may make 50 worth of pears,
or hops, or wheat What thens We con-
sumo the wealth, and the 81 margin goes to
China. We want immigrants who will
assimilate--who will become part of us. We
donot let our Nation out as pasture-ground
The Chinaman's blood can never mix witt
ours. He can never be an American. There
fore / say he is not desirable immigrant
He will do us no good. He is not muel
better than an African or an Arabian immi
grant would be. .-..e

A ROUGH's WORK.
Assaulted While Returning From an
Excursion IF

During the return trip of the Knights of
st. Patrick yesterday on the John A.
Warner from Sea Breeze, young woman
was brutally assaulted by drunken coward
and badly hurt. Some of the excursionists
were dancing, and among the lookers-On
was Catharine Milburne
George Graham, young man who lives
on Church street, between Fifth and Sixth,
approached the woman and asked her to
dance with him. AS he was drunk at the
time she refused, offering as an excuse that
she felt unwell.
Graham went away, but soon returned
and began abusing the woman, and finally
grabbed her by the hair, striking her sayagely
on the side of her head with his fist, telling
her to the deck He stood looking at her
as she lay unconscious, and declared his
intention to hit her again and also 10 make
short work of anybody who attempted to
defend her.
The young woman was taken to her home
on the arrival of the boat at Wilmington and
after several hours regained consciousness.
1t was feared that concussion of the brain
had been produced, but this morning, while
suffering much pain, Miss Milbune is not
in any danger. She says she is acquainted
with Graham and would rather have had
him kill her than to have given her such a
blow. U4 Ftur
Graham has disappeared and the police
are unable to find him.

BALTIMORE, June 22.-The streets TO-DAY
as compared with the animated scenes they
presented yesterday wore deserted APPEAR
ance. The crowds of veterans have van
ished and but for the rambling squads one
meets here and there in various parts Of the
city there are few outward signs of the
great reunion. Excursion parties went to-
day to Fort Henry and McKinn and other
points Of interest, but large number pre-
ferred the quieter pleasures of camp life,
and spent the day beneath the shades OF
ScheutZen Park.
Post 2 of Philadelphia and Dahgren Post
No. 2 of Boston went to Washington, where
they spent the day in sightseeing. The
festivities of the reunion have seriously in
terfered with the actual work of the encamp-
ment. But one meeting has been held, and
1t was attended by 200 delegates. The
meeting was held in Music Hall. The
different officers presented their reports,
Commander-in-Chie Morrill's report, show

Hartranft and Wagner, aud Chaplain-in-

presented with a handsomely framed, ,beauti-
fully engrossed set of resolutions expressive
of regard and appreciation, endorsed by the

WHAT THE NEGROEs ARE FOR.
Good Enough for Cleaning Streets, But
Not Fit to be Policemen.
rFrom thiS morninRss News
ON thIs morning 5 NcWs.
-. 50 ~ ~

To the Editor Of the Morning NeWS-SIR :
| think that the Mayor-elect is right in not
appointing any colored man to be a police
man, as 1t would be in antagonism with the
popular sentiment and practice and of no
ultimate advantage to the appointee or the
party. 1t would occasion breaches of the
peace; it would excite discomfort, opposition
and personal collisions, and endanger public
tranquility. .ef4
Prior to the rebellion the negroes were the
exclusive scavengers, the native American
considering the occupation of too low a
grade for his participation and the negroes
became the involuntary, but not unwilling,
monopolist in the cleaning of the streets.
They have been deprived of their possesssry
rights by the influx of the Irishmen into the
country by thousands and tens of thousands,
and last, but not least, by the implacable
hostility of the Democrats for the reason
that the negroes were potent auxiliaTies OF
factors in the subjugation of the rebels in
their efforts to destroy the Union.
The negroes owe their manumission to the
Republicans In combination with their own
participation in the war of the Rebellion
They are the wards of the Republicans, and
it is incumbent upon their guardians to re.
gain and replace them in possession of theiI
precedent claims to be the scavengers Of the
city. 1t is a lowly occupation. Let the
Irishmen go up higher and not crowd the
negro off the streets, as they have been doing
with Democratic agency.
It is Roman apothegm that "Timef
| change and men are changed by them and
| with them" The change now is the exodus
| of the Democrats and the advent of the Re
publicans, and let the Republican black
have the advantage of it as well as whit
Republicans. It will be base ingratitud'
not to make any politico-compensatory re
turn to the negroes for their military ant
civil services in the rehabilitation of the re
public. 1t is true that the recognition O
their contributory agency will make tn
Democrats howl like famished wolves in tn
desert of Siberia. But they won't unroo
the sky it is too high for their lungs t
shake the armament; nor will it abate tn
beat of the jocund hearts of the Republicans
They laugh that win" VICTORY.

American Aid in Egypt.
IN. Y. Herald. J


There have been the usual instances of
selhshness in this Egyptian crisis. Most of
the Europeans at Cairo seem to have felt, as
the comedian says in popular operetta,
that the best way to get out with honor was
to get out quickly, and as for the natives,
they, of course saw their advantage in the
situation, the hack drivers and boatmen
promptly raising their rates from one franc
to 80. Among all classes the tirst thought
was for their lives and the second for their
money bags. 1t is therefore pleasant to
record the testimony borne by many refugees
to the good work done In Egypt by the
officers and crew of the American war vessel
Galena. While the commanders of other
ships were disputing about precedence and
questions of etiquette the Galena was saving
lives and sheltering fugitives by the score,
If the British had shown similar prompti-
tude when the riots broke out on Sunday
the sea at Alexandria would not to day be
washing its dead ashore.

deceased, as was also the kindness of the
gentlemen having the body in charge.

mons Sir Charles Dixie, Under Foreign
Secretary, replying to the INJURY of Baron
De Worms, said he believed there were still
some American citizens imprisoned in ire

that the leaders of the Conservative party
are fully prepared to acquiesce in closure
by two-thirds majority, and if that change
is introduced, to cooperate cordially in car
rying the whole rules, and thus avoid pro-
longed discussion, necessitating an autumn
session of Parliament.
