WASHINGTON NOrEs.

WASHINGTON, April l2.-The Senate this
afternoon passed passed q bill for the re-
moval OF the southern Utes from Colombo
into Utah.
Some Of the strongest advocates OF legis-
lation for the suspension OF Chine5e immi-
grafton now admit that the prospect Of such
legislation at this session Of Congr IS is not
encouraging. The Democrats charge that
the Republicans are maneuvering to patch
up bill that will relieve them Of censure
on the Pacific coast, and that theyare look
ing more to political effect than to the ben
eft OF these people, while the Republicans
charge that the Democrats IRE scheming to
make capital, and are secretly trying to pre-
vent the passage OF any bill. A Senator
said to-day that he would not be SURPRISED
ii the question should take a partisan shape.
There is considerable gossip in political
circles about the apparent determination
ot Senator Mitchell to antlgoniZe Gamer
on's interests in Pennsylvania. II is said
Mitchell has pursued a conciliatory policy
since he has been in the Senate, hoping to
avoid any open rupture in party affairs in
his State, but he has decided that the more
he comedies the more is required OF him,
and he will fight hereafter.
Representative kaSSon, in reply to a
question to-day Us TO when the debate in
the House on the tariff commission bill
would close, said he could not tell, but that
negotiations looking to the end OF that dis
cussiOn were pending between the two
sides OF the House. He hoped to be able
to definitely answer-the question to-mor.
row. Ex-senator Eaton, author Of the
original tariff commission bill, says the de.
bate will close next week.
John Hall has resigned the United States
Marsh9lship ior Western Pennsylvania
and recommended James S. Rutan as his
successor. The President is out OF the city,
but Rutan's name will 90 in probably on
| Friday. Butler &. Strang, ofTiogn county,
who was nominated by the President tol
Marshal Of Dakota, has declined, and Har.
rison Allen. Of Warren comfy, will be up
pointed in his stead. Allen has beer
promised Senator Cameron's support fol
Marshal Of the Western District OF Penn
sytyania, but consented to go to Dakota
and this leaves the way open for Rutan':
selection without opposition.
The following were the most important
nominations made to-day: George Maurey
OF Tennessee, Minister to Bolivia. Wm. L
Scaggs, Minister to Colombia. c. G. An
tdrews, Of Minnesota, Consul General a

that Irving McElroy set forth, Lamson in
1877 and 1878 was addicted to the cxtraya.
CANT use of opium and atrophine, from
which his mental and physical condition
was seriously effected. Mrs. McElroy and

be greatly impaired from excessive use Of
opium. Other attidavits all tend to show
