DUBLIN, July Lord Arthur William
Hill, member for Down and Comptroller in
the present Cabinet, in a speech to his con-
stituency today in his canvass for re-elec-
ton, referred to the coercion policy. Lord
Arthur In the course OF his remarks said that

ample for all purposes. He strongly advo-
Gated the land purchase bill, and asserted

SARATOGA,N. Y, Aug. 27.-The United
States committee ON interstate commerce,
consisting of Senator Shelby NJ. Cullum of
Illinois, chairman, and Senators Orvill II.
Platt of Connecticut, Warner Miller of New
York, Arthur z. German of Maryland and
Isham q. Harris of Tennessee are in ses-
sion at the United States hotel, reviewing
and arranging the l, 800 printed pages of tes-
timOny taken at their meetings at New
York, Philadelphia, Boston, Chicago, st.
Louis, Omaha, DeS Moines, Minneapolis
and st. Paul and discussing the points to
be made in their report next winter.
They have examined 4 great many
witnesses, as may be inferred from
the amount of evidence taken, but compara-
lively few railroad men have availed them
selves of the invitation to make their views
and wishes known. At Omaha the anti
mOnOpOlists appeared in force and the
farmers did the same thing at Des MOineS.
They will probably consume the greater
part of the week preparing their report.
While nothing is yet definitely known as to
its recommendations the impression is quite
strong that they will suggest the active ex-
ercise by congress of the constitutional
power to regulate commerce between the
states in the prevention of unjust freight
discrimination in pools and consultations.

Chiuese Immigration.

New YORK, Aug. 27.-John Russell
Young, ex-minister to China. in an inter
view yesterday said: ''The emigration queS-
ton is not understood in America. Immi-
grafton from China comes from one point
alone-Canton. Canton is city of 1,00O,-
600, the center of the vast province. the
most southern port in China. Within seven
hours of Canton by river is Hong Kong.
Hong Kong is British settlement as much
under the British flag as is Cork or Liver
pool. All the traffic in the way of immi-
grafton to America comes from Hong Kong
mainly through British houses. There is
no stipulation treaty and there can be none
to justify us in asking the Chinese govern
ment to prevent Cinnamon going from Can
ton to Hong Kong. There they are free
from Chinese influence. If the American
government wishes to reach the immigra-
ton question it will have to 90 to Lord
Salisbury and ask him to so instruct
his government in Hong Kong as that there
may be no immigration. The British
governor general at Hong Kong, whose
guest | have been, said he was perfectly
willing, if the American government wished
it, to stop the immigration. but l had no
instructions. There is nothing in the
record to show that China has ever en-
deavored to evade the treaty. On the con-
trary, she has enforced it even more strin-
gently than any request of ours calls for
The Chinese do not care for emigration.
They would stop the whole thing tomorrow.
They do not, of course, like the idea of
other natiOnalitieS being accepted and they
being excluded, but that is a question of
pride on their part.

Germany Willing TO Arbitrate the
Question OF Her Rights,
But Spain Deems the Carolines Her
Property and Hesitates.

BERLIN, Aug. 2T.-COunt Won HaiZfeldt,
German secretary of state, on the 24th
inst. wrote TO Count de BenOmar, Spanish
ambassador to Berlin. that Germany, in Oc-
cupying the Caroline islands, had no mten-
ton TO prejudice any anterior rights which
Spain might possess therein. and if an eN-
animation into the question of Spanish
rights to the CarOlines should produce no
mutual understanding. Germany would be
still perfectly disposed 10 appeal the dis
pute TO the good offices of some friendly
TO both disputantS. German official circles
here are sanguine that a method of
calm adjustment Of the CarOlineS difficulty.
based on the facts of the case, will be
reached and will prevent rupture of the
relations between Germany and Spain.
Allowance is made for the difficulty Of the
situation in which the question places King
AlphOnsO, for it is believed among German
diplomats that the Radicals, the Republi-
cans and the Federalists, supported by the
French party in Spain, have commenced to
ferment an anti-GeTman feeling among the
Spanish people.

Denial of Pcnsion Frauds.

WASHINGTON, Aug. 2T.-Mr. DickerSOn,
late superintendent Of the pension building,
arrived in the city tonight and denies most
emphatically that there is any foundation
for the charge made against him. lie says
that he has bills in his possession for
every foot of lumber, every yard of
carpet, and every piece of furniture
in the house ON Colonial beach. lie defieS
proof ot any Of the allegations against him.
lie says that the trouble is that the new
officials do not know where 10 find the
materials, and that he will. when called
upon, point them out to them. The new
officials, he says, have neglected TO enquire
of him the whereabouts of the materials,
and If they will ask him he Will show
them where everything can be found. 1t is
stated that Mr.. DickersOn was in no way
employed in the construction of the new
pension building and had no connection
with the pension Office pay roll. The re-
ports concerning the irregularities appear to
have been considerably magnifed.
