The Chinese Debate.

WASHINGTON, March 8. In the Senate consideration of the Chinese bill was resumed. Platt opposed the bill. He continued speaking until after 3 o'clock. A vote was then taken on Senator Ingalls, amendmenment by which it is proposed to reduce to \ period of suspension for twenty years to ten years, and it was lost by tie vote of 23 yeas against 23 nays. The affirmative vote on Ingalls, amend ment included at least four senators who, while preferring ten years period, will nevertheless vote for 2 longer period rather than vote against the bill. Several sena. tors who are in favor of passing the bill without amendment were absent temporarily. Hoar has taken the floor to resume his general opposition to the bill. He is still speaking at 3:30 p, m.

They were at it until about II o'clock last evening, and but little attention was paid to it by the neighbors-as such scenes have been of frequent occurrence for years-until the report of gun was heard, when some of the people re- paired to the house, and on entering found the unfortunate man on the floor in the agony of death, with gunshot wound in the reg'on of his stomach. Mrs. Cover was found in the barn, where she said she had gone to take refuge from her husband.

As will be seen by the above list the amount IS not large, being only $S,6l063, therefore it is not likely that they will have to wait long for their money, as there is a large stock of goods in the store, from which funds to meet these obligations can soon be realized. The sale of the store and their Chiricahua mill property--that lately owned by Major Downing-will take con. siderable time, if it is disposed of to the best advantage ts all concerned. The amount of their San Francisco indebted ness is heavy-somewhere about $40,00O, it is said-upon which there will be a heavy loss.

San rra.eisco Grain Exc change.

SAN FRANCISCO, March S.-The committee appointed by the San Francisco Stock Exchange, to con slider the question of starting a wheat deal, has reported a plan to organize a new association under the auspices of the board, to be known as the San Francisco Exchange. This or ganization is to have a membership of one hundred and fifty of its own officers and directors, its own caller and be entirely distinct from the old board, shoug under the patronage of the latter. The exchange shall meet daily at 1:30 p. m. The report is accompanied by copy of tho pro- posed bylaws in which rules are laid down for the transaction of business, with proposed forms of contract for future deliveries. Among other things, the by laws provide that no fictitious or wash sales shsll be made /; thet 25 cents per cental shall be the margin required on time contracts; that two notices of five days and one of three shall be given before deliv- cry of grain on contract, and finally, that ten tons shall be tho lowest amount dealt in. The last rule ex. pressly forbids dealings in puts and calls, or any other similar gambling devices. The report will be dis cussed, and probably adopted at al executive session of the board to be hheld to. day.

THE following from the northwest Uake Superior) Journal concerning the mines of that region, will be read with interest. It says:
 From the beginning of mining ope. rations in the Lake Superior copper region up to date, very nearly $3S,- 100000 have been paid in dividends, from the earnings of mines, all but one of which are to-day actively working, and most of them in better condition to produce copper than ever before in tn ,ir entire history. There is in their several treasuries a surplus aggregating about $5,000.- 900; their outlook at del ths ranging from 800 to 2,700 feet is excellent; :; their product, as hitherto shown in these columns, was greater, with one exception, in 1881, than ever before in one twelvemonth; they have paid, on 2 total paid up capital of $6,26l,- 900, dividends amounting, in exact figures, to $31, 1,S99,742, an amount more than one-third greater than the total sum expended in the develop ment of all the copper mines ever worked on Lake Superior, or more than 152 per cent on the entire outlay.
 The above is brief history of the Lake Superior copper district, so far as such development has occasioned an outlay of dollars and cents, and been productive of subtantial re turns. It is a pla,n statement of fscts-s record that can challenge comparison with that of any other mining district in the United States.
