Provisions of the Restrictive Measure Intro

Provisions of the Restrictive Measure Intro
duced by Senator Mitchell.
WASHINGTON, Feb. 1L-Senator Mitchell, of
Oregon, to-day introduced a new anti-Chinese
bill. After reciting in preamble that all treat
les which inhibit the United States from abso-
lutely prohibiting the immigration of Chinese to
the United States are pernicious to the peace,
domestic tranquility aud general welfare of the
United States, it provides as first section that
all treaties between the United States govern
ment and the Chinese empire, in so far as they
recognize or permit the coming of Chinese to
the United States and inhibit the government
of the United States from absolutely prohibiting
the coming of Chinese to the United States and
all acts of Congress which in any manner or
upon any conditions recognize permit the
coming to the United States of Chinese, whether
subjects of the Chinese empire or otherwise,
are hereby abrogated, set aside and repealed.
Section provides that from and after the
passage of this act it shall he unlawful for any
Chinese, whether he be subject of China or 9th
erwise, as we'll as those who are now within the
limits of the United States and may hereafter
leave the United States and attempt to return,
as those who have never been here, excepting
such as may be duly accredited to the United
States as diplomatic representatives, including
other officers of the Chinese or other govern
ments travelling upon the business of that gov
eminent, together with their body and house
hold servants, to come to, or within. or land at
or remain In, any port or place within the United
States. The coming of Chinese persons to the
United States, excepting those persons exempted
in the above paragraph, is absolutely prohibited
after the passage of this act.
The sections Of the previous Chinese acts pro-
viding penalties for violation of their provisions
are re-enacted, as are also those providing safe
guards against Chinese unlawfully entering the
country, with such slight changes as are made
necessary by the provisions of the first two sec
tions of the bill
The provisions of the previous acts relative to
the removal of Chinese found to be unlawfully
in this country renewed also the pro-
visions prohibiting the admission of Chinese to
citizenship

THE DEAD GENERAL.
ASubscription Fund for the Widow-National
Representation at the Funeral.
i've SESSION.,
until Monday

NEW YORK, Feb. 1.-THE widow of General
ing, and was much refreshed this morning
The guards in the chamber with the body, last
night were Lieutenants A. w. Vogde, and w.
b. McCallum. During to-day Lieutenants j. e.
Sawyer and o. E. Ward were on duty. Dis
patches and letters of coincidence continue to
pour in from all parts of the country.
General Hancock died poor, and the facs being
known to his friends and comrades subscrip-
ton fund has been started for the widow. The
plan was originated by Gen. w. F. Smith, Gen.
j. B. Fry, William Burns and T. l.. Crittenden
j. Pierrepont Morgan is treasurer of the fund
These sums have been signed: Samuel j. Til.
den, $1,000; William r. Grace, $780, NJ. B. Brown,
$3.50; j. d. Crimmins. $3.50. The circular accom-
panying the subscription papers says the General
was kept poor by the calls upon his official hos
pitality. and the constant charities which he
gave to these in distress
AS soon as it became known at Philadelphia
that General Hancock had no adequate fortune
TO leave his widow, movement was set on foot
to raise fund for her benefit This fund has
been started by the gift of 81, 600. each, by
Messrs. A. j. Drexel and George w. Childs, and
the gifts have been coupled with the promise of
more il necessary"
The Secretary of War and several prominent
army officers will go to Philadelphia on Saturday
to receive the remains of General Hancock. and
will accompany them to Norristown. a detach-
ment of artillery. with guns, has been ordered
to proceed from Philadelphia to Norristown, to
fire military salute over General Hancock's
grave. This will be the only military ceremony
on that occasion, as the funeral is to be private
one.
The President desired to attend the funeral of
General Hancock, but finds that it will be impos-
sible for him to do so. The Cabinet will be rep
resented by Secretary Bayard, who will act as
pail bearer, Secretary Endicott, and possibly one
or two others. Secretary Whitney will not be
able to attend but will detail number of officers
to represent the navy.
The remains were taken from the bier this
afternoon and placed in steel casket dressed in
the uniform of major general. The following
order was issued tonight
