WASHINGTON, Jan. 27.-The Treasury
Department has sent to Collectors of Gus
toms the regulations recently framed in
accordance with the opinion of the Attorney
General to regulate the passage of Chinese
laborers across the continent, en- route
from foreign countries to China. Senator
Miller says he has made special inquiry
into the subject and does not think any
apprehension need be felt that the law
regulating Chinese emigration will be vio-
lated. He regards the granting of per-
mission to Chinese laborers to enter this
country for the purpose Of travelling home
ward, as contrary to the letter Of the law,
but he grants that it may not be opposed
to the State Departments Interpretation
Of the spirit of the treaty. In CONVERSE
ton with your correspondent, Senator
Miller said: II do not think there are
so many Chinese in Cuba to-day as is COM
monty reported. Abont 10, 900 Chinese
laborers originally went there, but num-
bers Of them, who emigrated under the
old contracts, have either returned to
China or have come to the United States.
The agitation for permission to allow these
to enter the United States was begun by
the railroad companies, which expected to
make profitable transportation contracts.
So lar as l can learn no contracts for send
ing these labolers through the United
States have been made. l am informed

Of 500 each to bring them from Cuba to
New York and send them to San Francisco,
and thence to H~ongkong. 1t is possible
that the rate might be a little less via New
Orleans and Galveston, but not enough to
compete with the direct water route. The
railroads were led to believe that they
could get business by letters written by
agents in Cuba, asking terms for trans
portation. If any attempt should be
made to evade the law detection will be
certain. The Treasury Department has
informed me that if any considerable
number of Chinese are landed here an in
spector will be sent with them TO see that
the law is not violated. OF course. upon
detection, the question of the validity of
the Attorney Generals opinion will be
raised and cited in the Courts"
Sporting Intelligence.
New YORK, Jan. 27.-Mace and Slade
met Fox and a number of sporting men
to-day. Mace is reported as expressing
unlimited confidence in his protege in the
proposed match with Sullivan, basing his
opinion on what he has learned since
his arrival. There was considerable I'M
favorable comment over Sullivan's eondi-
ton for the fight with Slade. We are
willing to make it S., 600 a side, said Hard
ing, the representative Of Fox. That is as
big a stake as ever was fought for, but not
$40, 600 a side. The fight for such a big
stake might lead to unfair work some
where, and this is what Fox, Mace and
myself, and all others who want to see a
fair wind up Of the contest, do not desire.
1t has been proposed by Sullivan's friends
to have a grand sparring tour around the
country, with Sullivan and Slade as stars,
before The fight, but Fox won't consent
to such a hippodromiug scheme. He
brought out Slade to fight, and he intends
that be shail tight, aud he does not propose
to gull the public with any circus business
before hand. If Sullivan refuses to light
Slade for $4,000 or s., 900, and sticks to
his $40, 600 offer, it will look as if he does

the above statement Of a reporter, the
impression prevails that Mace and Slade
are being used for just such a circus bust
ness as limited at above. The city has been
extensively billed, and every sensational
device practiced to boom the newcomers.
Substitute for Miller's Railroad Bill
WASHINGTON, Jan. 27.-The Senate Com
mittee on Railroads this morning author
lied Kellogg to report to the Senate a SUBJ
stitute for the bill introduced in the Sem
ate by Miller Of California, which author.
lied the Southern Pacific and other rail-
road companies TO unite and consolidate,
SO as TO form g continuous line OF railway
between the tidal waters Of the Atlantic
ana Pacific Oceans. The main feature Of
the substitute is as follows: The CONSOLE
dation OF parallel lines Of roads, for leasing
and control by purchase, is prohibited, and
the right is reserved TO regulate the rates
Of freight and passengers, and the right to
alter and amend the act of consolidation.
The bill also reserves the right of all cred
ltors OF the various roads that make up
the consolidation. The land grants from
Yuba to Ell Paso, through Arizona and
New Mexico, which were by arrangement
between the Texas and Pacific, and the
Southern Pacific, ceded by the former to
the latter, are in no way affected by the
proposed building.
