THE LONGEST YET.
The Present Congress Has out Lived all
Others.

The Present Congress Has Out Lived al
Others.
wAsHIsoToH, Oct. l.-When the two
houses Of congress were called tol order at
~ o'clock to-day the session became the
longest by twenty four hours in American
history. The longest preceding session
was that OF 1850, the year of the Missouri
compromise, which was adjourned at noon
September Both. Construcuvely the ses-
sion OF 1868, following the impeachment pro-
ceedings against President johnson, was
longer, the adjournment having taken
place November 10Th, but as matter OF
fact, congress took six weeks rest from
July 27th, and never afterwards had a
quorum or attempted to transact business.
The house OF representatives has not had
q quorum for several weeks but such busi-
ness as could be done by unanimous con-
sent has been dono. 1t cannot yet be said
that the years regular work tor either
house is finished, The tariff bill
will be reported to the sen
ate tomorrow or Wednesday Is
to be taken up for debate, on Monday of
next week. Among to unfinished business
of the senate io bill to forfeit the un-
earned portion OF the Northern Pacific
land grant, upon which Senator Berry will
tomorrow deliver speech, defending the
public land record of the democrats, In
answer to speech of Senator Plumb last
week. It Is expected that Senator Dolph
will a,so make a speech on the measure.
Territorial admission bills arc recog.
nized ss having rights OF way and next to
them is the consideration OF the Sherman
trust bill. The senate has, however, con-
siderably disregarded all its programmes
for several weeks past, and nothing but
purely political measures can be helu to be
probable subjects OF debate during the ses-
siou. The daily session OF the house Of
little business OF interest il likely 10 be
transacted during the present week. Tlse

UNCLE SAM WILL TAKE A HAND.
Germany's Expressions Against the sa-
moan Island WIN Not be Tolerated.


WAsHtsGros Oct. 2.--The Samoan ques-
ton has reached point which makes Its
satisfactory settlement a matter OF very
great concern to the United States, and the
most careful attention is now being paid to
1t bv our government. President Cleve.
land has recently taken hold Of the subject
and there is reason to believe that 1t soon
will be laid before the cabinet for its con.
sideration. The recent course OF
Germany in selling and carrying
of the Samoan king, setting up an insur-
gent in his place, certainly appears
TO be an inhagrant violation of the
agreement between tkrt government,
Great Britain and the United States, that
the Samoan island shall not be disturbed.
The Samoans have revolted against the
king, set up by Germans, and had him
and his party cooped up In the capitol. 1t
Is easy TO SEQ that the complications are
more serious than any that have gone be-
fore and may follow the present situation,
and mere Is strong feeling here
that IL Ia time for the United States
to take decisive steps toward curbing
Germany's aRgressions.
The continued Independence and neu-
trality Of the Samoan islands is OF high
importance to this government, especially
because the islands lie practically In the
track oi all the vessels using either OF the
projected istbmus canals. Opinions are
divided as to the best course for this gov
eminent to adopt, but from what can be
learned in state department circles, q move
OF some kind may be expected soon, and II
may not be in the direction of consenting
to any further aggressive violations Of Ger.
niany's agreement.

CHINESE RETALIATION.
A step to Prevent the Importation Of
American Kerosene into China.

A stem to Prevent the importation Of
American Kerosene into China.
New YoRK, Oct. 1.-China, or at
least some officials Of China, wish to
retaliate for The American Chinese re-
strlction laws, by laws prohibiting the
importation OF American kerosene
into China. Chang Chitung, viceroy
OF Canton, has addressed memorial
to the emperor in which he says that
kerosene is tho greatest nlenace to the
peace and prosperity OF the empire, 1t
burned up four hundred houses in
Swatsa not long ago, he says, and be
fore that destroyed Steamer and cost
500 people their lives. Soon afterward
it burned 1000 houses in Canton and
destroyed ten million dollars worth OF
property. II is responsible, he
says, for nine-tenths OF the fires
every winter in Canton.
On account OF its evil deeds the
viceroy says he did his best last year
to kill the trade in kerosene by raising
the inland transit dues ON it. He
points out that there need be no diff
Guilty in putting an end to the traffic,
because the treaty Of 1881 with
America" he says, "makes provisions
to limit Chinese immigration on ac-
count OF Chinese labor being objec-
tionable and injurious. We have
equal rights to prohibit the importa'
tion of kerosene when it is injurious to
us. The law that nations have the
right to protect their own interes and
prevent an injury being done their
people, applies to both countries alike.
II there be any justice, and when
either government acts on that princi.
plo objection can be raised by the
other"

REJOICING AT FRISCO.
Speculation Us to what Will Re Done
with the Chinamen En- Route Here.


with the Cinnamon En- Route Here.
SAN FRANCISCO, Oct. 1.-The news
OF President Cleveland's approval OF
the Chinese exclusion bill WAS received
here to-day with II marked degree OF
interest. Large crowds congregated
around the newspaper bulletin boards
and discussed the situation. The
Chinese manifested considerable ex-
element. The principal subject Of
discussion here is as To- what effect
the bill will have upon the several
thousand Chinese who have arrived
here within the past year and
who have been landed by the federal
courts, upon writs of habeas corpus
and are out on bail awaiting examina.
tion; also upon the two thousand
more Chjnese who are on then way to
this port. Abote Two hundred Chines Sc
arrived here Saturday on the steamer
City Of New York. The Belgic will be
due next Thursday with 500 more.
Three other steamers are now on the
Pacific with over u thousand Chinese
bound for this port. There is consid-
erable speculation as to whether the
courts will permit these Cinnamon
TO come ashore on writs of habeas
corpus and release them upon bail,
pending examination, or compel them
to remain aboard the steamer and
return to their own country.
Collector of the port Hagar ex-
pressed himself to-day as being
doubtful of the bills effectiveness.
"The present bill, The said" intended
to exclude Chinese. So was the re-
striction act, but did the restriction act
exclude themH II the same principle
is applied to this bill as WAS applied to
the other, don't see that it is
going to be- any great improvement
II the courts can continue to land Chi
nese and allow them on our soil on
bail. That will abrogate any kind OF
restriction attempted by congress.
When they are allowed to land they
are in the country and they then for
felt their bail and remain here in spite
OF the law.
United States District Attorney
Curry stated that in his opinion the
bill could not affect the five thousand
Chinese now out on bail, but he be-
lieved those Tow on their way here
would be refused landing. He fur
ther stated that he did not believe that
writs Of habeas corpus would be is
sued, except, possibly, in one or two
cases, in order to make the test of the
matter in the courts.

A MARBLE QUARRY
Building Stone for Spokane and
the Coast.
Area and Probable Production
of the Dorset Quarries.
Plan for Their DeveIopment--A steam
Drill and Derrick to be Erected--The
Company and Management.

The abundance and variety OF raw
materials contiguous and tributary TO
this city, which forecasts to a certainty
its future growth and prosperity, is
subject OF interest to every citizen, and
equally so to the REVIEW. This young
staniial site, whose back hills will ere
long he terraced and covered with
palatial villas, ii not by broad COM
mercial streets with cable lines. mo
possibilities are barred in our horoscope
has unequalled advantages in the
abundance and cheapness of its build
ing materials; and stone is one OF
them.
This being the case REVIEW re-
porter, accompanied by Messrs. Nc
Nab and Myrick, took occasion to visit
the great granite stone quarry region,
situated about nine miles north of the
city, beyond the little Spokane river;
and his report thereon is as follows:
THE DORSET QUARRIEs.
Tho locality specially examined was
| that of the Dorset Granite and Stone
| Company, which filed it's articles Of
| lnCOTpOTht.Ol Ou tHc N'tu ulV'J WIN
100000 uuassessable shares, of the par
value OF one dollar each, and 10000 of
which is reserved for II working capital.
This company has tract OF stone
quarry 5000 feet long by 600 feet wide,
and OF unknown depth beneath the
surface. They began the work OF
opening it up in July last, and since
then have furnished granite stone for
quite number of substantial build
ings in this city, among which are the
several blocks of Messrs, Tull, Brook
I & Fotheringham, Symons and Birch.
Large bodies of this granite lie un-
covered on top of the ground, ready to
be cut up into any size de-
sired, and until projected railroad
is built along near them, it will be
hauled to this city on heavy freight
wagons.
QUALITY OF THE ROCK.
Tho aI.adauoe OF this material
seems equal to the demand of the
entire Pacific slope, and from the
quality of its component parts, which
are quarts and mica, its grain is fine
and Of tough consistency, rendering it
valuable,not only as building material
but also for paving streets or building
sea walls. This latter quality is i'm
portant as many kinds of stone will
not resist the erosion of sea water, and
the government has much difficulty
in finding stone that possesses the
proper qualities of resistance for the
construction OF moles, piers, light
houses and sea walls.
1t is the inteuton of this company
to at once put up steam drill and
derrick at their quarry, and Herewith
take out a large quantity OF stone
during the winter, in view OF the prob
able demand in the coming spring.
THE MANAGEMENT.
The work at the quarry is in charge
OF Sol. Cameron, who is the superin-
tendent. The directors of this COM
pany are Charles McNab, J. w.
Myrick, Sol. Cameron aud Joseph w.
Bye. The officers elected for six
months are Charles McNab, president ;
j, w. Bye, vice-president; j. w. Ny
rick, secretary and treasurer.

For some time past the company that

step and spread all his papers around him

informed with accompanying sobs that

to his story. He repudiated hunger, poor
parents and expected beating, and simply
appealed to the sympathies of onlookers

After this youthful Hungry Joe had
