J. HARRIS Rooms,

To that letter he had replied: "Be-
fore accepting the possession OF stock it
would be necessary for ne to be advised
on two points. First, desire to see
the charter or prospectus Of the com.
pany; and. second, whether it will under
any circumstances be dependent upon
Congressional action, So long as re-
main member of Congress will not
be interested in any company or enter.
prise concerning which Congressional
action may be asked. That, said the
Speaker, was the last he had ever
heard Of the matter. While he had
no distinct idea that the letter was writ
ten with view to influencing any public
officer, yet he had little shadow OF sus-
picion that something Of that sort might
come before Congress, because he was
aware Of the fact that attempts were
being made to get the Government to
purchase telephone and telegraph COM
panies, and this seemed to be tele-
phone company.
Representative Samuel J. Randall tes-
tilted that he had no distinct recollec.
tion Of having received either letter or
stock from DIR. Rogers. 1t was possible
that he had received such letter and an
swered It, as was his custom, with a
courteous and respectful declination to
2 embark in such an enterprise as was
proposed.
Representative Abram s. Hewitt then
took the stand and said that he had been
solicited to embark in Pan Electric and
had been offered tenth interest, but
had declined.

The horticultural Society ON
Chinese.

SAN FRANCISCO, April 30.-At meet
ing Of the State Horticultural Society
this afternoon Labor Commissioner Enos
submitted the results Of his investigation
of Chinese labor. He stated that from
information he has received from varied
sources he was forced to conclude that
there are $4,000 Cinnamon engaged In
the State in hop fields, vineyards and
orchards, and that it is impossible to
supplant them with white labor this
year. He had also come to the conclu-
sion that farmers aud others TO secure
white labor must make changes in the
accommodations made for help, as white
men cannot live as Cinnamon have been
accustomed to do. The Association
adopted resolution declaring 1t to be
the sense of the meeting that they de-
sired to dispense with Chinese labor and
will do so as speedily as they can fill
their places with white men.
