ITS FUNNY SIDE.
Some of the Facetious Objections Urged
to the Chinese Treaty.

Some of the Facetious Objections Urged
to the Chinese Treaty.
Copyright, 1855, by The California associated Press]
WASHINGTON, March 7th-The new Chi
nese treaty has not yet been sent to the Sen
ate, although il is expected, as was an
nounced in last Sundays dispatches, that
it will be signed and forwarded to the Sen
ate for ratification this week. Since the
first outline of the treaty was given in these
dispatches, il has been amended in certain
respects, and if what is reported of these
changes is true, the treaty has not been i'm
proved. The original proposition was to
exclude from this country all Chinese now
entitled to the benefit of the previous resi-
dence clause, who were not either possessed
of 81 900 worth of property in the United
States, or who owed money to that amount
to citizens of the United States. 1t is said
that this property, or debtor, qualification
has been changed, but to what extent is not
known.
1t has been facetiously suggested that any
treaty allowing Chinaman owing 1000
to American citizens to enter the country,
be changed by the Senate so as to provide
that the citizen who would allow a China
man to become his debtor in such sum be
deported, and that the Cbinaman owning
81 900 of property in the United States, be
expected to bear the expenses of such de-
portations.
1t is understood that the treaty will also
allow Chinese entitled to the benefit of the
previous residence clause in the existing law
having wives in this country to come and go
at pleasure. Mr.. Morrow says that out of
5000 Chinese women in America less than
100 are married, but he mas no doubt but
that, under the treaty, a wife could be
found for as many Cinnamon as desired to
come to this country.

THE MACEDoNIAN KING.

Professor Haupt Claims to Know Where
Alexander the Great Lies.
lCopyight, 1888, by n.e California Associated es,I
BALTIMORE, March 7th.-Concerning the
reported finding Of the sarcophagus of Al
exander the Great at Saida, Professor Paul
Haupt, of the Johns Hopkins University,
SAYS; 1t seems to me highly improbable
that the sarcophagus of Alexander the
Great should have turned up at Saida. The
embalmed corpse of the King was trans
ported to Egypt, inferred in Memphis and
was subsequently, transferred to Alexandria
and deposited in the Temple The Eng
lish carried this sarcophagus to London in
1902" 1t is now in British museum.
United States Minister Strauss, in re-
sponse to an inquiry, telegraphed that the
report OF the discovery of the sarcophagus
is explained by Handy Bey to mean that
one of the sarcophagi which were found at
Saida some time ago is now believed by
some one to be that of the great conqueror.

The Dimmig Trial Enlivened by an In
aPinatiye Newspaper RepOrter

aginative Newspaper Reporter.
SAN FRANCISCO, March 7th.-Judge Mur-
phys face was afire this morning when he
took his seat upon the bench and directed
the Clerk to call the jury list in the Dim
mig case. After this was done his Honor,
holding a copy of this mornings Chronicle
in his hand, said that he did not believe
the charges contained therein against G..
K. Porter, one of the jurors, but he felt
called upon to investigate them, and if he
found them false he would cite the re-
porter for contempt.
The article mentioned was then read to
Mr.. Porter, who was placed upon the wit
ness-stand and sworn. The charge was
contained in the concluding paragraph of
the report of yesterdays proceedings in the
Dimmig trial, and alleged that as Expert
Hickox left the stand at the conclusion of
the session, he met Mr.. Porter. The two
men shook hands, and the jurors asked the
expetr; Well, what do you think of the
handwriting Hickox answered that it
was without doubt the work of Henry Ben
hayon. The two men then walked from
the Courtroom together, talking about the
case.
Mr.. Porter denied the charge most en-
phatically and asked permission to explain
the whole matter. He said that as Mr..
Hickox passed the jury-box he shook
hands cordially with Porter, with whom he
had been acquainted for many years. Said
Hickox to Porter Do you think it would
be improper for witness to ask Juror to
take a drink" Porter said he did not
think it would be at all improper, and said
in return, Do you think it would be i'm
proper for juror 10 ask witness to take
a good cigar?" Hickox could not see any
thing improper in either arrangement
The two men then walked along Kearny
street to California and down the latter
thoroughfare to their offices.
Expert Hickox supported the statement
of the juror, and denounced the article in
question as "lie," and the reporter who
wrote it as a ubiquitous liar" Judge
Murphy, without lending his approval to
these strong terms, said that there had ev-
identity been mistake, and directed the
District Attorney to prepare affidavits, so
that the reporter could be cited for con-
tempt.

ALL AT SEA.
Republican Congressman Also Divided on
the Tariff Question.


the Tariff Question.
copyright, 1855, byAe Cab ifor7,ia associated Press
WASHINGTON March 7th The Demo-
Gratis are not alone in a muddle about the
tariff revision and the reduction of the sur
plus. The Republicans are badly divided
Very few of them regard with any favor
the bill proposed By the majority of the
Ways and Means Committee, but in lieu of
nothing better in the way of revenue re-
form they might vote for it. Randall's bill
is awaited with much curiosity, and that it
will be more preferable to the Republicans
the 4 the Mills bill is unquestionably true.
But the Randall bill will receive very re-
luctant support, if indeed it is supported at
all, by those Republicans who are opposed
to reduction of the tax on whisky.
| am informed that Randall's bill con-
templates reduction of about $7O,000,0O0
of which only 100000 is on customs
duties. The remainder is in the abolition
of all tobacco taxes and licenses the aboli-
ton of all taxes on alcohol used in the
the arts, upon brandy made from fruit, and
reduction OF the tax on whisky of from
ninety to fifty cents per gallon. These fig
ures are in the rough, and simply approxi-
mate what the probable effect of the bill, if
passed, would be.
A Republican member of the Ways and
Means Committee said to-day that some of
his associates were contemplating the in
PRODUCTION of a bill which would abolish
all taxes on tobacco of every description
and the manufactures thereof in every
form, and all licenses for the sale and man
ufacture thereof, lessening the revenue by
100000, and to repeal the duties on
sugar, which would cut off $685.
100000 of revenue, and to pay a
bounty of two cents per pound
upon sugar grown in the United States,
which would make an estimated expend-
lture of $6,000,000, leaving net reduction
of revenues of $S2,000OO0. Then it would
add to the free list articles that at present
yield a revenue of $10,000000, making a
total reduction in the internal taxes and
customs duties of $92 100000. There are
many Republicans who do not want to ac-
cept Randall as a leader IN the work of re-
yising the tariff, and there are more of
them who do not want to vote for reduc-
ton of the whisky tax.
1t is evident that the Mills bill cannot
pass without Republican votes, and it is
equally sure that no Republican bill can
pass unless the Democratic opponents of
the Mills bill vote for it, which is not at all
probable. The Republicans do not wish to
go upon record as having obstructed tariff
revision, but the split in their ranks as to
the wisest policy to pursue is quite as pro-
nounced as that in the Democratic camp.

GRAPES AND WINE.
Remarkable Increase of the Viticultural
Industry in California.

Industry in California.
SAN Francisco, March 7th.-TSpecial. i
The sixth annual Viticultural Convention
began at Pioneer Hall to-day. More than
one hundred viticulturists were present.
In his address President Arpad Harazsthy
said that there was no reason why Cali
fornia wines should not be as good as i'm
ported wines. As soon as the unwarranted
prejudice against California wines is eradi-
Gated from the minds of the people there
will be an enormous demand for the pro-
duction of California makers" Mr.. Ha-
raZsthy reviewed the history of the wine
industry in this State. There were only
35 900 acres of vines in the State in 1851,
but now there are 10000 acres At full
bearing, two years hence, these 10000
acres, at $500 per acre, will be valued at
SIS 100000.
The increase of the shipments of wines
East amounts on average to about 100000
gallons year. The speaker said that the
reduction of the tax on fruit and spirits
would bring about bad result, and should
not be asked for by the viticulturists
Secretary Wheeler said that there were
over 5000 viticulturists in the State.
at the evening session, Dr. Manlove of
Sacramento read paper on Table
Grapes" He compared California to the
land of Canaan. The doctor thought the
Madeline and Chasselas were the best var
ieties to cultivate for the table. Table
grapes, he thought, paid better than wine
grapes.

Storage" after which the session adjourned

At the meeting of the Executive Commit
fee, State Board of Trade, yesterday, reso-
luton was adopted on motion of Judge
Stabler, of Yuba, authorizing the Manager
of the Board, together with the Committee
on Publication, to prepare proper pam
phlet of information. This pamphlet will

port A competent editor will have to be
employed who will give his entire time to

1t was decided to keep the various coun-
ties notified of the condition of the exhib-
its and also to have a standing committee
to keep the general exhibit at headquarters
in order. The present lack of artistic
beauty in the display was accounted for by
the explanation that it was made by

overcome this difficulty and appointed
Mrs. c. S. Walters the member from Lake

Bayard's Plan for Preventing Chimes
Immigration.

Bayard's Plan for Preventing Chinese
Immigration.
WASHINGTON, March 7th.-The new con-
vention between this country and China is
practically completed, and it is barely pos
sible that it may be sent to the Senate to-
morrow.
The utmost secrecy has been observed
regarding the treaty, but in a general way,
it may be said it will be so framed as to
positively prohibit the further importation
of Chinese laborers from Chinese ports.
The present law restricting immigration for
period of ten years, from 1882, will be
extended six additional years.
The convention will also include clause
to indemnify Chinese subjects for loss to life
and property suffered by them on American
soil. The amount of this indemnity it is
not possible to state with accuracy, but it is
believed to be less than $500, 900.
1t is understood that the new treaty will
give Chinese owning real or personal prop.
erty of the value of 81 900 or upwards GER
tain privileges in respect to immigration
that are not enjoyed by their less fortunate
brethren, and that the same clause will be
further broadened in other particulars.
CONGRESS TAKING ACTION.
WASHINGTON, March 7th.-The sub-com-
mittee of the House Committee on Foreign
Affairs has agreed to report the bill to give
effect to the Chinese treaty, which will be
submitted to the Senate by the President in
a few days.
