SENATE.


Senator Farley has prepared a bill tc
restrict Chinese immigration, which he
Will Introduce to-day. 1t is the same
as the vetoed bill except that it sus-
ponds Chinese immigration for sixteen,
instead of twenty years. Farley,s mo-
ton to take up the Cheese bill was
adopted by a vote of go to 25. Came
ron, Of Wisconsin, Miller, of Colorado,
and Jones, of Nevada, voted with the
democrats to take it up, and Sherman
moved to refer the bill to the foreign
relations committee.
Morgan's resolution favoring more
reciprocal trade between the United
States and Mexico passed. After the
morning hour Farley moved to take up
the vetoed bill, Hoar objected, as it was
out of order, ingalls, being entitled to
the floor. Bayard held that the vetoed
bill be first in order, the republicans
favored the referring of the bill to the
committee on foreign relations. Some
of the republicans who had voted for the
bill didn't seem DESTROYS to vote again, |
either for or against it. Sherman de-
precated haste and favored regular or
der; he believed the foreign relations
committee would report the bill to meet
the views of the people and the presi-
dent. Ingalls, regarded the conside ra-
lion as a question of privilege and fay
ored the immediate action of the sem
ate should decide to pass it or veto it at
once. He opposed the referring and
was ready to vote on the bill. Farley's
motion adopted 20 to 20. Came

The action. That some measure on the ,
Chinese question ought to be passed
was not disputed as between the presi-
dent and the house, but as the president :
thought congress had proposed to vio-
late the treaty, he thought it advisable
to allow the committee on foreign re-
lations to take the bill and report the
measure which would meet the objec-
tions in the veto. Farley replied that
until the vote was taken, the senate
could not tell whether the vetoed bill
would pass over the veto, and there
fore it was premature to talk Of refer
ence to the committee. Fol the same
reason he regarded the bill introduced
by his colleague this morning as prema-
ture. Ingalls, took the issue with Sher-
man as to the propriety Of referring the
bill and contending that the con-
stitution, which required a direct vote
on the question, did not recognize
any attempt to pillow around the stump
and prepare new propositions by way
of avoiding the objections of the exc
cutiye. The vote being taken, Harris
motion prevailed, yeas, 90; nays, 20.
The vote was a party one, except Cam
eron, wis, Jones, (Nev.) and Miller,
(Cal.) voted aye with the democrats,
and Davis, (Ill.) and Malone voted no
with the republicans.
