New York, May 24.-Senator Fair,
who is on brief visit to this city,
regards the passage Of the new Chi
nese bill as the forerunner of re-
newed prosperity for California and
the Pacific coast, and states that he
did not think that the beneficial re-
suits of this great measure would be
Immediately perceptible, but he was
confident that it would be felt in the
near future, when the Mungolian
population on the coast began to
thin by emigration to Massachusetts
and other Eastern States. And when
the slum from Asia is stopped, as it
will be within few months, then the
Cinnamon who remained would be
compelled to compete with white la
Dor in towns under vastly different
conditions from those which now
prevail, and the change would be
greatly to the advantage of the ma
tives. If there is anything that
pleases me- said the Senator with
mischieyous smile, 1T is to see peo-
pie who love one another live to-
gether in harmony. There is always
sort Of magnetism that brings such
together, and | am more than graft
fed, | am overjoyed, to see that the
Cinnamon and the good people of
Massachusetts are so pleased with
each other and getting along so fine
ly. Yes, Massachusetts is the place
for John, his friends and his rela-
tiyes, and l pray that the
tender attachment existing be-
tween them may prevail to
such an extent that every mothers
son OF our coast contingent may join
those who love them, and contend in
friendly accord together. They are
both initiative, and there is no reason
to doubt that when the Yankee
State get as many Us we have got,
there will be pleasant times. They
will build mills and they will fill fac
tories and workshops, and every
channel of industry as they have in
California. That is, think they
will. OF course he said smiling.
'they won't interfere with white la
bor.''
On the subject of California mines,
he said he had been unable lately to
pay much attention to mines or min
ing operations and could not express
any opinion of the outlook in Cali
fornia or adjacent States. OF one
thing he was satisfied That was,
that there were but few properties
of real merit on the New York mar
ket. The ravens of the West, he
said, have pouncea down on the east
ern people like turkeys ON Junebugs,
and still they are tieeced. 1t is hard,
but they have the remedy in their
own hands.
Fair is in the enjoyment of robust
health, and said he was much pleas
ell with his life in Washington. He
had been treated with great courtesy
by the newspaper men in the East,
but their brethren of the Pacific
Coast were (he said) of a vastly diff
ferent type. Out there (added the
Senator) if reporter calls on you
for an interview and fails it is a mat
ter of no consequence to him, as he'll
sit down and make up one all the
same. The business has grown sc
disreputable that if gentleman
learns that a newspaper man is after
him he locks his doors and shoots
out of the back door. The Senator
said it was not true, as reported, tina
Mackey, his partner, contemplate
making New York his future home
and that he will build city resi-
dence there that will eclipse that o
Vanderbilt On the contrary, Mac
key would continue to reside in Cali
. fornia, where all his pecuniary inter
ests are.
