OCTOBER 9th. 1888.

OCTOBER 9th, 1888.
The weather conditions during the
past week have been favorable to the
growing cane and for cotton picking.
Reports indicate that cane grinding
has begun in some sections of the
sugar region with fair results. Some
fall planting has been done but it is
not general, the land being hard and
dry from the heavy rains earlier in
the season.
Complaints Of lack of rainfall are
heard from vegetable farmers. but the
ensuing 4o hours will doubtless re
lieve their needs in that respect, a
sudden fall of from ID to % de
grees IN the temperature being indi-
Gated Tor Louisiana, which will likely
result in light rains.
But nine OF the total number of OBJ
servers reports show appreciable rain
fall for the week, the amounts being
as follows: Monroe 0 %, Natclito-
ches OF. Trinity 0 80, Nidalia Q %,
Alexandria o ~, Marksville 0 o.,
Amite o 03, Grand Coteau q 03 and
Abbeville Q Of.
The temperature has been below
a seasonal average throughout the
State, the deficiencies ranging from 3
to degrees, but being accompanied
by an excess of sunshine, was very
favorable in its effects.

meager news can be obtained.
A local storm of unusual severity swept
over Coppyyille, Miss, to-day, doing con-

age will be sustained by the cotton crop.
Reports show that the rains have been gen.

As Thurman was driven along the streets
the people who lined the sidewalks ap-
plauded, and a crowd of admirers kept
close to the carriage Driving to the Post
Office building, the distinguished guest of

which point the procession was reviewed

Congressman McKenna Treats the House

Congressman McKenna Treats the House
to a Rattling Speech.
Copyright, 1885, By tie California Associated Press
WASHINGTON, August 2Oth.-The Chinese
restriction bill passed the House this
afternoon without dissenting vote. The
feature of the debate was Representative
McKennas speech. 1t was a bold, ag-
gressiye, political argument on the Chinese
question, in reply to Bynum's speech last
Saturday, and is worthy of wide circula-
ton On the Pacific Coast as q campaign
document. During the course of his re-
marks Mckenna was frequently applaEded,
and it was regretted that the time allotted
him for debate was insufficient to enable
him to say all he had prepared upon the
subject. He handled Bynum without
gloves. and unsparingly criticised his at
tempt to parade Harrison es faYoring
Chinese immigration. He said that the
time had gone by when il was possible to
make political capital out of the Chinese
question.
He numerically scored the Forty. ninth
Congress, in which there was Democratic
majority of 43, and the Democratic mem
bers of the Foreign Affairs Committee in
that Congress for their refusal to take ac-
ton on either the Morrow, FELTON, or Hen
ley bills, which if adopted then would have
Kept out OF the country ZOOOO Chinese that
are in the United States to-day. That Con-
gress, he said, found time to pass a bill Civ
ing $147, 900 to the survivors of the Rock
Springs outrage, and it was limited that this
money was necessary to smoothe the way
10 successful treaty negotiations with the
Chinese Minister.
McKenna showed up Thurman's Chi
nese record. He denounced Bayard's do
nothing policy unsparingly, and he said
that Bynum's attack upon Harrison's Chi
nese record was in line with the assaults
made by the Democratic party in the pres
ent Congress upon American industries.
The Democratic party, he said, declares it
self in favor of cheap goods. They are
therefore in favor of cheap Chinese labor,
for does not the favoring of cheap goods
mean the favoring of the cheap labor which
produces the goods?
Mr.. McKenna spoke at considerable
length in the same effective strain
