New York, 24.-Senator Fair, who i
on hrief. visit to this city, regards tht
passage OF tee new Chinese bill as the
forerun ner OF renewed prosperity for Cal
ifornia and the Pacific Coast states. HI
did not think that the beneficial results @
this great measure would be immediately
perceptible, but he was confident that /
would be felt IN the near future when The
Monaghan population on the coast bepar
TO thin by emigration to Massachusett,
and other eastern states, aud when tb
stream from Asia is stopped, as it will be
within few months. then the Chinsmeu
who remained would be compelled Ia
compete with white labor in towns
vastly different from those which
now prevail, and the change
would be greatly to the advantage of the
natives. If there is anything that plesses
me, said the senator with michievous
smile, it is to see people who love one
another live together in harmony. There
is always a sort of magnetism that
brings such together, and l am more than
gratifed, l am oVe10yed 10 sea that the
Cinnamon au1 good people of Massa-
chusetts are go pleased with each other,
and are getting along so finely. Yes,
Massachusetts is the place for John, his
friends and his relatives, and I pray that
the tender attachment between them
may prevail to such an extent thst
every mothers son of our Coast con-
tingeut, may join those who love them,
and contend in friendly accord together.
They are both incitiVe, and there is no
reason to doubt that when the Yankee
state gets as many as we have got, there
will be pleasant times. They will
build big mills and they will
fill factories, and workshops and every
channel of industry, as they have in
California; that is, l think they will.
"Of course" he said, smiling. "They
won't Interfere with white labor"
On the subject of California mines, be
said he had been unable lately to pay
much attention to mines or mining oper-
atoms, and could not express an opinion
of the outlook In California and adjacent
states. OF one thing he was satisfied;
that was, that there was but few proper
lies Of real merit on the New York mar
ket "The ravens of the west" ne said,
"haVe bounced down on the eastern peo-
pie like turkeys Oh June bugs, and still
they are feeced. It is hard, but they
have the remedy in their own hands"
Fair is in the enjoyment of robust
health, and said be was much pleased
with his life in Washington. He had
been treated with great courtesy By
newspaper men in the east, but their
brethren Of the Pacific coast were, be
said, Of vastly different type. Gu.
there, added the senator, if reporter calls
on you for an interview, and fails, it is q
matter Of no consequence to him, as he
will sit down and make up one all the
same. The business has grown so dis
reputable that if gentleman learns that
q newspaper reporter is after him, he
locks his doors and scoots out of the
back door.
The Senator said it was not true, as re-
ported, that Mackay, his partner, con-
templates making New York his future
home, aud that he will build city resi-
dence here that will eclipse that of Van
derbit. On the contrary, Mackey will
continue to reside in California, where all
his pecunisry interests are. The Senator
is accompanied to this city By his family,
who will leave for San Francisco during
the latter part of the week.
