COMING TO THEIR CENSUS.

The Committee and Secretary Teller re-
solve 90 Have Some business Done Mt
Once.
Tho senate appropriation committee had tho
secretary Of the interior and Mr.. Richards,
the acting superintendent of the census be-
fore them yesterday with n view to obtaining
some information as TO the state of the census
Office and it's work. 1t is found that the work
of collating and preparing the results of the
census for publication is in n backward and
greatly confused condition. This fact has be-
come so manifest to the committee that IL is
not likely that the pending census deficiency
bill will be recommended for passage until
substantial assurances are furnished that the
proposed appropriation will be employed in
such a manner as to produce clearly defined
results and bring the work speedily to close.
A prominent member of the committee said
last night that there seemed to be strong
inclination upon the part of certain scien-
tiic and philosophical gentlemen connected
with the census to prepare elaborate works
upon special topics, which they wished to have
published at the expense of the government,
principally for their personal glorifcation,
and not for the legitimate purposes of the
census. He said he thought tho committee
were unanimous in requiring that the scope
of the census publications now in preparation
should be clearly outlined and confined to
practical limit, as was contemplated by the
census act.
Secretary Teller is much concerned about
the state Of the census, and said last night TO
o representative of the Associated Press that,
after a conference, with the President, he
should probably telegraph Mr.. Francis A.
Walker, the late superintendent, to return
Immediately to Washington, take charge of
the bureau, and bring its work to a close.
The census Office has practically been without
a head since the prostration by illness of Mr..
Seaton, the acting superintendent, who sue
ceeded Mr.. Walker.

CONFLICT OF JURISDICTION
Between the states OF New York and New
Jersey Over Water Rights.

Jersey over "htcr ttiShts'
The speaker laid before the house yesterday
a letter from the attorney general, relative to
the question of jurisdiction as between the
courts Of the state of New York and the state
of New Jersey over the waters Of the Hudson
river, Now York bay, Kill Won Kull, Kill
arthur, and the lower bay. 1t contains a
copy of an opinion delivered by Hon. John II.
Nixon, of the district court for the district OF
New Jersey; also copies Of letters from the
district attorney for the southern district OF
New York.
The opinion of Judge Nixon, as interpreted
in the letter from Marshall Knox, holds that
New Jersey has jurisdiction in admiralty to
the middle of Hudson river, the Kill Won Kull,
Killarthur, and the bay bordering on the
shores of New Jersey.
Stewart l.. Woodford, United States district
attorney, in his letter says: " / find myself
unable to agree with the marshal in under
standing Judge Nixon to claim for New Jer-
sey jurisdiction to the middle of the Hudson
river. On the contrary, think that his ar
gument is q clear concession to the district
court of this district of exclusive jurisdiction
to low water mark ON the New Jersey side,
except as to vessels moored to wharves on
piers projecting from the New Jersey shore
Mr. WoOdfords letter also goes on TO state
that he apprehends serious consequences from
conflict of jurisdiction, and recommends that
the matter be submitted to congress for legis-

A Chinese American Newspa-
per. "

New York, 3.-The first number ofthe
first Chinese newspaper ever published
in this city will make its appearance to.
day. Wang Chin Foo is the editor in
chief. The mstter it will contain is to
be written or selected by Wang Chin
Foo, whe will dictate it to Chinese
scribe he in turn will print or paint it
with India ink, with pointed stick on
sheets otpaper, from which it will be
photo-lithographei, and then printed
from stone IN the shape in which it is to
appear. The publishers say that but for
this process the publication would be
impossible, by reason of its cost. In the
past it has been customary to engrAve
the whole of each Chinese work TO be
published, because the 10000 word char.
actels of the language are not represented
in type. The Chinese say leading men
among the Chinese here are pleased
with a the prospect of possessing g
paper that will convey to them
the news of the week in beloved HER
glyphs that Americans cAn be taught to
to think of only in connection with
wash bills, fire cracker labels and
the literature Of the tea trade; but some
Cinnamon say that they cannot under
stand in what manner the enterprise can
be made to pay. The publishers on the
| other hand say there are in New York
8 600 Chinese, 900 lsundries and thirty
Chinese groceries. Although they admit
that but few Cinnamon are educated up
| to the full possibilities of their alpha bet,
| all can read those few hundred signs that
express their simple ideas and wants
They like to read yet at present have nc
other opportunity to do so than is afforded
by the wall over the doorway to Sam
Lees grocery, Mott street. This wal
has served as their only newspaper FOL
years. Upon it is pasted notices of the
opening and closing of those laundrie:
that are or have been maintained by
members Of the Long Tie Society, 6
secret organization, about the nature o.
which no New Yorker has ever been able
to learn more than it ID "sllse same flee
msson." To the New Yorkel
the most interesting thing about Lees.
has been that the advertisements are
painted on bits Of every hue and make
up display as diverting to the eye as
the contents of dressmaker's rag bag
| The publishers of the Chinese American
say the fact that every ChinAmsn can
read and wants to is mere item in thei
estimates. A stronger desire is on thu
part of those merchants who make soaI
and bluiug and laundry apparatus snC
all sorts of things. They would like t
have the means for presenting them tc
the Chinese.

Trains from Chicago arrived from
four to six hours late making con-
nections with the west bound Union
Pacific. No through train has ar
rived from California for two days,
but delayed trains are expected in

that the weather is intensely cold,
and that calm generally prevails
along the line, favorable to railroad
ing, but very unfaYolable to cattle,
which, unless the wind starts up
and lifts the snow so as to uncover
the grass, will certainly die in great
numbers. Cattle men are very
blue over the prospects, and one
prominent cattle man says that he
believes there will be loss of over
oue-half. Such great depth Of snow,
from twenty to thirty inches, and
such severely cold weather was
never before known on the cattle
ranges.
