our G1vernmsnt's interfering in the
question OF boundary between Mexico

Mexico aud G1atemsla should agrss

WASHINGTON, July Ex-senator Logan
did not call up. this morning, the ques-
ton OF reference of the bill intro
duced by him yesterday to amend the
bill restricting immigration. California
Senators expected that Logan would in.
sist that his bill be sent Immediately to
the Judiciary Committee. Senator Mil
Ter believes that a majority OF the Sena-
tors will vote to refer the bill to tho
Committee on Foreign Relations. lie
says that reference if in made there il nc
danger of the passage of tho bill IA il
can unquestionabiy be defeated whel
the question of reference comes before
tho Senate. Mr.. Miller and Mr.. Farley
will each in all probability make speeches
showing the impropriety Of tho passage
o: Logan's bill. It is hin.sd that the
Senator from Illinois made his demon
stra.ion yesterday in the interest of Ger
tain railroads whose support he
expects to have il, his fight for re
election to the Senate rather than with
any hope efiamending the Chinese bill.
