WASHINGTON. April ga Pacific Coast
Republican, who does not care at present
TO place himself in open antagonism to
the President on the Chinese question,
to-day mentioned some interesting facts
bearing upon the question. which do not
seem to have been presented in the de-
bates. He said the President. in his
references to the proceedings Of the Com
missioners who negotiated the treaty,
was not altogether frank. "He did not
state what is q fact, that he referred to
the opinion of the minority Of the Ameri-
can Commissioners who framed the
Angel treaty. The report Of the pro-
ceedings Of the Commissioners will show
that-in discussing the passport question,
the President overlooked two very i'm
portant points. They are, that the Chi
nese Six Companies have already ianked
the Pacific States, and have already estab-
lished q depot upon the Pacific Coast, ON
the northern border OF California, and
are about to establish one upon the Mexi-
y DOIQCEf t1lOuRh - - WhA OO Sooy
| to import coolies. A Chinaman, who has
been naturalized as an American, has q
very large farm upon Puget Sound, just
! over the northern border. That farm is
really owned by the Six Companies. and
the pretended ownership by this China
man ia simply 8 cover. The Six Com
panies reported it expedient to first land
the coolies ct Van Covers Island and
Puget Sound, and then import them into
the United States, because the opposition
had become 80 great in San Francisco as
to make ii somewhat hazardous. Accord
ingly, this large farm is used as a practical
coolie depot, from which the
Six Companies, as occasion may
require, and as public enterprise may
need organized servile labor, make
drafts by this means. Tn Six Companies
rave hanked California upon the north,
and they are now endeavoring to establish
similar relations upon the south for the in
dustrial conquest Of Mexico. The Six
Companies expect to make use of thous-
ands OF these Coolies in the construction OF
her railroad enterprises which are now pro-
iected in Mexico, and those who are inter-
ested in these Mexican enterprises also
have been active, indirectly, in Washing
ton, in aiding the defeat of the Chinese
bill, and if the truth should be known, I
think you would find the hand Of Gould
and other railroad magnates in the move
ment, which not only has for its object the
industrial conquest Of the Pacific Coast by
the Chinese, but the Mongolization Of
South America"
what" I asked, ado you think of the
suggestions in the Presidents message re-
lative Ia teprisals in China? ?"
1.-THE Presidents talk about reprisals is
not founded upon full information. Every
American is in China by virtue. not simply
Of the treaties of the United States, but Of
all the Western nations, with China, the
most favored nation. The clause Is in all
these treaties, and any attempt to exclude
Americans from China would be resisted
%strenuously by Great Britain and France,
as such an act would indicate clearly that
the time might come when other foreigners
would share the same fate. But there is
not the slightest fear that the Chinese Gov.
eminent will do anything Of the kind.
There are not 400 Americans in all the
treaty ports OF China. In 1878, according
to the Hongkong directory, there were 357
Americans, including officials, mission
aries md merchants. In all the Asiatic
countries, Japan, China, Cochin China,
outside Of officials and merchants, there
are not quite 5000 Europeans and Ameri-
cans combined.
The Presidential Count Bifl.
WASHINGTON. April s.-The Presidential
Count bill, which passed the Senate yes.
terday, with amendment, provides that
the Presidential electors Of each State shall
meet and give their votes on the second
Monday Of January next following their

lature Of their State may direct, and that
each State, pursuant to its laws existing
on the day fxed for the appointment Of

ing Of the electors any controversy con-
corning their appointment. which shall be
conclusive evidence Of their lawful title,
and shall govern in the Electoral Court of
Congress that no electoral vote or votes
from any State from which but one return
be received shall be rejected, except by an
affirmative vote Of the two Houses, that II
more than one return is received from q
State, the votes of the three electors ap-
proved by q law tribunal Of the State shall
be counted, and in the event OF the ques-
ton as to which n of two or more such
State tribunals IL the lawful tribunal, the
votes Of the electors appointed by that tri-
bunal, which the two Houses acting separ-
ately shall decide to be the authorized one,
shall be counted. That in case OF o deter
mined contest between two or more sets OF
electors Of a State. those votes shall be
counted which the two Houses acting sep
arately, shall decide to be the lawful cleo
torsl votes. The bill also provides that II
the counting Of the votes shall not be CON-
pleted before the fifth calendar day next
after the frst Joint meeting Of the two
Houses, no recess shall be afterward taken
by either House until the counting 10 an
ished.
The New ~secretary's Views on b
Indian Question.
WASHINGTON, April s.-The new ssere-
tary Of the Interior gave expression to his
views on one point of the Indian question
yesterday that indicates Q mobilization Of
Secretary Kirkwood's policy. he was
asked what he thought Of the allotment Of
lands in severalty to the Indians. He
| said: Allotment In severalty ! do not re-
gard a. practicable, except in cases where
use to put wild Indians on land parceled
| out to them, because they would not stay
on II. They do not want . lot Of land set
of for themselves, because they do not re-
alixe the worth OF II. II the Indians are
somewhat civilized. 30 - to know the value
OF the lard. and what u may be made to
produce, and then are broken into work
II. 1t might do to give them . farm; but
wild Indians do not want q farm, and will
not stay on II II II IL given them" It Is
believed that the Indian policy under the
new Secretary will be characterized by
more irmness and practical dealing with
the Indians than for some years.
