Chinese Restriction Bill.
Silver State.

The bill to restrict Chinese immigra-
ton, which passed the House of Rep
resentatives last Saturday, was referr-
ed by the Senate to the committee on
Foreign Affairs. Senator John F..
Miller of California is chairman Of
that committee and, though repub-
lican, is heartily in favor of the bill.
Washington dispatches say ne will
bring the bill before the committee at
its first meeting and endeavor to Sc
cure faborable report upon it, with
out amendment. As majority OF
the committee is composed of Repub-
| licans, he does not expect unanimous
report in its favor, but he is con.
fdent of sending it to the Senate
with a majority of the committee
recommending its passage. The over
overwhelming majority which it re
ceived in the House has its opponent
in the Senate and almost insures it
passage by that body. Though doubt
less several amendments to it will b.
offered, there is some hope Of its pas
sage in the shape it was adopted b.
the House, and the President vii
scarcely refuse to sign it, as he did
similar bill before.

The Pacific Coast Supplemental
Chinese bill, which passed the House
the other day, came before the Senate
Thursday for the purpose of reference,
when Senator Farley requested that
it be laid on the table temporarily
until the Senate bill on the same sub
iect is reached on the calendar. Sem
ator Farley said: ''We will try when
the Senate bill comes up, to substitute
the House measure, and | think we
can muster enough votes to do it
There are good many Presidential
candidates in the Senate this year
who will not care to vote against 1T
Just as soon as the Appropriation bills
which are pressing, are out of the way
we may make an effort to get the
matter before the Senate. At any
rate, we will pass the House bill some
itime before theclose of the session"

The silver Dollar.

The effect of stopping the coinage
of silver IS well explained by Senator
Hill of Colorado, in a late in
terview: "Would not the stoppage
of our silver dollar coinage compel
Europe to return to bimetallism and
open its minis to silver?" 81 believe
it you'd have precisely the contrary
effect. The gold monometalists Of
Europe are unanimous in urging US
to stop coming silver. They know
that if we stop it, such a depreciation
of silver will result that it will be
hopelessly discredited, and can never
again recover its position as one OF
the money metals of the world. The
English justly ridicule the suggestion
that they can be driven into coming
silver by any action in this country
depreciating silver, and thereby dis
arrange the exchange between the
British sovereign and the Indian ru
pee. They say, and say truly, tina
they can keep the rupee at any valu
they please by restricting its coinage
The closure of our minis to silve
will be followed by similar closur
of Indian minis, and in that case
see nothing to prevent fall of one
!, half in the present gold price of silve

The following is the official report
of Jas. Allen, the third officer of the
State of Florida: 1--WE left New
York on the 18th of April with about
one hundred and sixty-seven passen-
gers and crew and full general car
90. All went well until the night OF
the 18th, when, at 1880 o'clock, we
came in collision with the bark Pomo-
ma of Chatham, n. B., Capt. Hettbern
Both ships went down almost instant
". and out of the steamers passen,
gers and crew only forty-four, includ
ing the stewardess, managed to es
cape in the boats; and out of the
bark's crew of fifteen only the cap
tain and two seamen were saved. Ih'
next morning the bark was observes
bottom up. The survivors, after be
ing thirty-fve hours in boats wlthou
food or water, were rescued by tn
Norwegian bark Theresa of Christi
ana, from that port, bound to Quebec
On the 22d twenty four of them wer
transferred on board the ship Loulss
of and from Cardiff for Quebec, wher
thew remained untll May 9th, whe
they were taken on board the lltanii
bound for Quebec. 1t is beheve
that 135 lives were lost.

Statesmen at Outs.
Silver State

Eastern journals say Grant won't
speak to Blaine; Blaine won't speak
to Conkling; Arthur won't speak to
Logan; Coukling won't speak to Ar
thur, and Logan won't speak to Blaine.
Each and all of these Statement are
Presidential candidates, and hate each
other good and strong. All have
grievances and and accuse each other
of breaking promises for selfish pur-
poses, while all are classed as patriots
with no object in view save the good
of the country. Every one of them
striving to attain power, and do no.
thing for the party unless they have
guarantees that they are to be re-
warded by Office or its equivalent, as
in the language of J. w. Mackay
''They regard politics as simply fgh-
for the spoils."

Kellogg Discharged.
Winnemueca Silver Sta Q

Ex-senator Kellogg, of Louisiana,
who was indicted in Washington for
taking brides as a Senator for using
his influence with the Postoffice De-
partment to expedite certain Star
routes, was acquitted last week. His
counsel held that Keliogg's offense
was barred by the statute of limita-
ton, the court sustained that view of
the case and Kellogg went on his
way rejoicing. The Government,
when forced by public opinion to
commence proceedings against patri-
OTIS Of the Kellogg stripe always leaves
a hole large enough for the rascals to
crawl through. Though the evidence
was conclusive that Kellogg received
a bride Of $4,000 for using his influ-
ence with General Brady, who has
the letting of mail contracts, to ex-
Ipedite route from Baton Rouge,
Louisiana, to San Antonio, Texas, yet
L y
no attempt was made to prosecute
him until he could plead the statute
: of limitations. He is still member
of Congress from Louisiana, and a
: delegate to the National Convention
: at Chicago, and though more thar
tainted with corruption, he has voice
: in making laws for the government o.
the country, and will control the vote
of Louisiana IN the Chicago Conven
ton, whereas if he had his deserts b,
would be serving the State in pen
itentiary. Justice in Washington
however, is never SO closely blind
folded that she cannot see who is il
= the scales.

The Great Whispering Gallery.

In speaking of the most wonderful
CANYON known on earth, the Arizona
Champion says: "The transmission of
sounds along the Grand Canyon of
the Colorado has for years been a
matter of surprise to the prospectors
and miners who frequent at intervals
the isolated sections. Since the adj
vent of the Atlantic and Pacific Rail
road to the Colorado river, there is a
basis to form some idea of how far
sounds are transmitted between the
walls of the chasm. A train of cars
crossing the bridge at the Needles
can be plainly heard on a quiet day
at Cottonwood Island, distance Of
eighty miles. The fife and drum a
Fort Mohave is distinctly heard a
Bulls Head distance of eighty miles
The report of a sunrise gun at For
Mohave can be heard at Ell Dorado
Canyon, a distance of ninety-six miles

Black Hills Index. Although very
little has been said of late concerning
the rich tin mines, development work
has been progressing with very fiat
tering results. 1t is we'll established
that the Eta tin mine bears tin in
large quantities which is of good quail
ity. This mine is the first tin mine
discovered in the Hills country. This
discovery was made in June, 1880.
since that there have been several To-
cations made, in various localities, OF
tin stone, some being several miles
north of Harvey. Considerable de-
velopment may be looked for in these
mines during the coming summer,

The Fitx-JOha Porter R5il.

The bill to restore Major-General
Fitz-John Porter to the rank from
which he was reduced by court-mar-
tial twenty-one years ago, now awaits
only the signature of the President to
become law. The bill passed the
House of Representatives some weeks
ago, but it was amended in the Sen
ate and returned to the House. Now
the House has concurred in the Sen
ate amendments and again passed the
bill. Ex-Speaker Keifer and several
others spoke against the bill. Slocum.
of New York, said he was glad the
gentleman from Ohio (keifer) had
attacked the bill, and Gen. Porter
would be glad of it because he woulc
regard what Keifer said against hin
as compliment, and it would be Sc
regarded by the country.
