 which he said was the joint product
 of delegations from California, Ore gon, Nevada, and Arizona and | Washington Territories Never had the measure received such endorsement more nearly unanimous or more earn l est than had this bill received from the people of the Pacific coast While it might be asSGIled on the ground that ill some way 1t was hostile to the doctrine of the universal fatherhood of God and brotherhood man; while 1t might be criticised by those who had not studied 1t, the subject matter, there was this fact connected with it: That the people | inhabitants of tract of coun | try sufficient for an em- l pire-come with practical unanimisv | and demand the enactment ot thiR | measure. It's opponents could not be | acquainted with the civilization of the | Chinese; 1t was a civilization which | presented the strange paradox of | civilization without the amelioration Of humanity. The minority report in- tlmated that the enactment of this law might break our friendly relations with England. This proposition he con- sldered utterly baseless. England her self in Australia had enacted measures infinitely more restrictive in their prOvi- sio1s than any which can be found in the pending bill. England was not gO- iug 10 quarrel with the United States for doing what she had done herself. But II these apprehensiOns were we'll founded, so mOmentOus was this Ques- tion, SD far reaching Ill its results, that he would still say, let this measure pass. If amIty with Great Britain was only to be purchased at the price of the degra- dation of the laboring people, 1t WAS too large price for 1t. Congress could do nothing nobleF than to answer, mol

 Prominent leaders in New York in the Cuban revolutionary movement state that is is true that private negotiations have been going on for the last week to sell Cuba to Mexico. The proposition came from Spain, and after consulting his cab met, Minister Diaz returned an answer to Alfonso, saying he would be satisfied to purchase Cuba Cn condition that the Cubans themselves should agree to 1t by a plebiscIte vote. It seems that Mexi- can bonds are to be given to Spain m lieu of the purchase money, Inasmuch as Mexico has not very plethorlc treasury ct present. Spain demands another c0ndition-namely; that the United States becomes surety for Mexlco's per formance of her part of the contract. 4 lealing Cuban said tonight that Gener- al Foster, of the United States, minister to Spain, is now m Washington, to see if his government will be satisfied with the arrangement | proposed. He came ostenslbly tO attend |
  commercial treaty, but the most import ant part of his business is to find out | how this Government feels on the qUes ton of annexation to Mexico.
 It is proposed to hold a convention in | New York to assist Aguero as soon as | the other Cuban Generals, who are on ! their way, arrive. to which representa- ! lives from the South American and | other Republics will be invited.
