The Rads Bill.

WASHINGTON, March 4.-The mi
nority report of the Committee on
Commerce on the Eads bill was sub
mitted to the House to-day. 1t doubts
the power OF Congress under the con-
stitution to grant charter to foreign
corporation, calls attention to the dis
elimination in favor OF Mexico and
against the United States, and con-
cludes as follows "Was Congress
before ever asked for such reckless
legislation as this? While we have
pointed out some of the many objec-
tions we have to the passage of the
bill, our enumeration is by no means
exhausted, and we will seek other oc-
casions to present them to the House
We regard this proposition as one
granting a subsidy that may, and pos
sibly will, take from the public Treas
ury i37, 100000 for the benefit OF a
private corporation, located or OPP
Grated exclusively in foreign coun-
try, without any corresponding benefit
to our country or people"

The Chinese in the Wet.

WASHINGTON, March 4. - Rumors
were current here to-day to the effect
that the Chinese Minister had received
instructions from his government to
demand from the United States the
total disavowal OF the recent outrages
against Chinese residents in the West
ern States and Territories, the condi-
ton, punishment capitally, if killing
could be proved against individuals,
and pecuniary indemnity to the suf-
ferers for their losses; and that, if the
United States refused to comply with
the demand, the President was to be
informed that the Chinese govern
ment would Immediately proceed to
collect the indemnity from American
citizens in business in the Imperial
/, territory, and withdraw its protection
from them. In an interview this
evening, the Chinese Minister said to
representative of the Associated
Press that while he has information
that China, and especially the prov
ince of Canton, the home of large
percentage Of the Chinese of the Pa
cific slope, is greatly excited over the
outrages, and that retaliation has, in
some instances, been threatened by
the excited people, he has received no
instructions to make any formal de-
mands upon this government, neither
has he any information that such de-
mands are contemplated.

A few years since he came to Ortenville a
gay young bachelor. After time he began
the erection on lake shore, in most TO-
mantle and beautiful location about five
miles above this city, of a magnificent
dwelling, sort of feudal castle, in imita-
ton of his ancestors noble halls. The
castle was built, but, it is alleged, mainly
at the expense of gullible merchants
in the neighbOring towns, who have ever
since kept the castle in state of siege in
an attempt to collect for material furnished,

Dies MONIES, Ia. May 25.ITreasurer
Twombley went on the stand to-day as the
first witness in the Brown case. On cross
examination he was asked if he had re-
ceived supplementary report by Brown in
July, 1885. Judge NourSe intending
thereby to show that Brown was attempting
to comply with Gov. Sherman's agreement
to restore him on the meditation of Mr..
Rich and Mr.. Larrabee just prior to the
Republican state convention. Manager
Weaver objected to the admission OF such
reports because the law requires the re-
ports to be filed each month. He said:
Mr.. Brown went out of office i'll
January, 1885, can he perform
a duty after the close OF
the term?" Judge NourSe replied that the
statutes requiring reports to be made is
simply directory, referring not to the time
but to the act of filing the detained report.
He called attention to case in 81 Iowa,
65S. sustaining his view. that compliance
with the requirements of a statute may be
made at any time before action is taken.
He also called attention to case in 46
Iowa. 1874, wherein the supreme court held
that such statutes are directory. Mr..
Weaver replied in the line of argument of
his first speech. The objection was over
ruled by unanimous vote of the court, and
the evidence was admitted. In reply to a
question by Mr.. Weaver, Mr.. Trombley
stated that he first saw the detained report
about July 90.

BISMARCK. OAK, Nay 25.-An incendi-
airy fire which was started early last even
ing and eXtinguished was started again at
o'clock this morning. A barn to which
matches were applied was burned, and a
residence occupied by Mrs. Mcdonald, a
widow, with two children, destroyed. Mrs
Mcdonald would have been burned to death
had it not been for the action of a neighbor
in breaking into the house. If'the incendi-
airy is caught he will be sulnmarily dealt
with. 1t has been discovered this after
noon that an attempt was made by incendi-
aries last evening to burn the city, or as
much of it as possible. Already two build
mgs have been discovered partly burned,
but. owing to fright or haste on the part of
the incendiaries, the fire went out. One of
the buildings fired was the opera house. and
place eight feet square was burned when
it was discovered and extinguished. Off
GERS are after the guilty parties.
