all Others the easiest approached. He was
quietly seated last evening in his
parlors at the Arlington, and when
addressed on the Chinese question, said:
II am very largely interested in California
and Nevada, and have seen them all
through. I never employed Chinese as
white laborers. Among the objec-
tons to them is that they work for such
small wages that white girls and servants
cannot make an honest living. 1t appears
that the Chinese take every possible source
@. labor from them. While this applies
particularly to California, it is equally
true of Nevada. They have their opium,
and sell opium and smoke it; and, when
apprehended as criminals, escape into
their underground dens, which extend to
mammoth proportions, and cannot be
found. Their employment by me would
be a great saving, but l do not employ
them, and am in for the removal of this
curse of their competition. They come to
California under the auspices and servi-
tude of the Six Companies, and every year
they send home from $40, 000, 900 to S45.-

you see here as their representative. There
they are pig-tailed and wooden-shoed, with

them, is serving certain manufacturing in
terests as against your own white boys and
girls"
"Will the President sign the present
bill ?'
Senator Fair replied: 81 think the
President, judging from his last veto, will
find no objections to the present bill. l
do not think he expects Congress to follow
him in this matter. This bill is in exact
conformity with the treaty. I do not think
he will veto the bill. He is too sensible a
man to refuse to sign it."
h Cause of the Indian Outbreak.
RAwLINs (Wyoming), May At is
stated that the Shoshones and Bannock
Indians at the Wind River Agency, 100
miles north of here, broke out Upon the

were excellent scouts under Gen. Crook
in his campaigns in 1876 and 1877, against
the Sioux and Cheyennes. There are
several theories as to the cause of their
outbreak. One is that the killing of the
Ute Chief, Jack, incensed them. The
army officers, however, believe that they
were ready to fight, and simply took ad-
vantage Of the absence of the troops to
take the warpath and leave the reserva-
ton. No confirmation or contradiction Of
the report has been obtained yet, but the
best informed are uneasy and apprehend
that the report is true.
