Washington, 20-NO official adj
vices have been received at tbs
navy department from Admiral
Nlcholson since the hOmbardment
or Alexandria. a few DAYS before
the bombardment, said Secretary
Chandler, tonight, we telegrayhed
the admiral to send a ship to Tunis
and Trlpoli, to remove the records nj
the United States consular offices in
those cities. Congress failed to make
an appropriation for the mainten-
ance OF the consul at TripOli and
runs. On the morning Of the day
the bombardment began We received
a telegram from Admiral Nicholson
announcing that fac, and saving
that the order of the department
would be Obeyed. The department
has not heard from him since. The
story telegraphed from Alexandra
that Admiral Nicholson informed
Arab Bey that he would fire upO1
the forts If the forts fired upon the
United States fleet. is false. Isup-
pose our marines were ordered
ashore to aid IN the preservation of

Senator Logan did not call I'D this
morning the question of the refer
ence OF the bill introduced by him
Yesterday to amend tie bill restrict
Ing Chinese immigration. The Cal
lfOrnia senators expected Logan
would insist that his bill be sent
Immediately to the judiciary COM
mlttee. Senator Miller believes a
majority of the Senate will vote to
refer the bill to the committee on
foreign relations. He says that if
that reference is not made, there is
no danger of the passage OF the bill
as it can unquestiOnably be de-
feated. When the question of refer.
ence again comes before the Senate
Mr.. Miller and Mr.. Farley will
each, in all probability, make
speeches showing the improperly
OF the passage of LOgan's bill. 1t is
limited that the senator from Illinois
made his demonstration Yesterday
more in the interest of certain rail-
roads, whose support he expects to
have In his fight for reelection to
the Senate, than with any hope of
amending the Chinese bill.
Senator Grover, from the commit
tee on military affairs, to-day, re-
ported back favOrably the bill grant
ing the right of way through the
Preside Reservation to the San
Francisco and Ocean Shore Rail-
road Company. This bill was once
before reported faYorably to the
Senate and recommitted, because it
was alleged the company was a
mythical concern, attempting to Sc
cure the value privileges tor pur-
poses other than the construction
of a railroad. The committee has
amended the bill considerably, re-
serving the right of Congress to
repeal the concession. 1t has also
provided that any other railroad
company shall have the right to run
cars over the tracks of the Ocean
Shore line through the reservation,
by paying reasonable and fair COM
penSatl9n therefor, the same to be
regulated by the secretary of war.
1t is understood that the elections
committee have decided not to call
up any more contested election cases
this session. There are four cases
yet undetermined, those of Sessing-
haus 0S. Frost. of Missouri; Cook as.
Cults, Of Iowa; Buchanan 0s. Man
ming, of Mississippi, and Lee 0S.
Richardson, Of South Carolina. OF
the twenty-five cases originally be-
fore the committee, eleven have
been dismissed, the report being in
favor of the sitting member in two
cases. In those Of Campbell US.
Cannon, Of Utah, and Smith 0S.
Shelly, of Alabama, the seats have
been declared vacant. In one a
greenbacker has been seated and a
democrat unseated, and in four more
democrats have been unSeated and
seated. This takes
seven democrats from the roll of
that side, and increases the republi-
can majority by four members.
