IT'S ALLIN A MIDDLE.
rHRCHINRSB EXCLUSION BILL PASSES THE
SENATE.
The Debate Ysstsrday-Chinamsn Nsturaliad in
HarrisOn's Homs-fhs Treaty Said
10 Be Postpondsd for
Consideration.

WASHINGTON, September THE Chi
nese exclusion bill was taken up in the
Senate, and Mr.. Vest, referring to Mr..
Dolph's denial of his statement that seven
Cinnamon had been nsturalized in In
dianspolis in 1876 (under the superintend-
ence of Mr.. Miller, the law partner of Mr..
Harrison, and had voted the Republican
ticket, read letter, which he had re-
ceived giving the particulars of such
naturalization, and showing that the only
mistake he (Mr. Vest had made was in
giving the date as 1876, instead of 1880.
He also sent to the clerks desk and had
read corroborstive affidavits. He added
that, instead of it being q fact that no
Cinnamon had been psturalizsd in the
United States. Some twenty of them had
been naturalized in State Courts in Con-
necticut, Massachusetts, and Indiana, and
had been allowed to vote.
Mr.. Dolph asked Mr.. Vest whether there
there was nything in the affidavits to sus-
tain the statements that Mr.. Harrison's
law partner had anything to do with the
naturalization of Cinnamon in Indianap-
oils.
Mr.. Vest admitted that there was not; {;
on the contrary he had learned that neither
of the law partners of Mr.. Harrison had
anything to do with il.
Az this point message was received
from the President of the United States
and laid before the Senate. enclosing the
only official information at hand in regard
to the Chinese treaty.
After the reading of the message the dis
cussion of the bill proceeded, Mr.. Mitchell
taking the floor and insisting upon the
propriety of passing the bill, even if it
were an administration measure. The
only criticism he would make upon it was
that 1t did not 20 far enough. If he had
his will he would make the exclusion apply
not only to the four hundred million
Cinnamon in China, but to those now in
the United Stated.
The question was then taken on the pass
age of the bill, and the result was ayes 81,
nays 2. The negative votes were given by
Senators Brown and Wilson of Iowa. Mr..
Sherman did not vote at all. Mr.. Blair
asked the presiding officer whether mo-
ton to reconsider the vote was in order,
and on being Informed that it was, he sub
mitted that motion He said that if it
were permitted, he would move an amend
ment to the bill providing that it
shall not take effect until the
expiration of sixty days after
Nraa 80
shall be rejected by China within that
time, but to take effect Immediately on
such rejection. He added, We have kept
our agreement. We have voted as We
agreed, and have passed this bill. That
is all.
Mr.. German referred to his motion to
commit the bill, and said he made the mo-
tion in consideration of the fact that the
bill had come before the Senate without
doubt under q Misrepresentation.

WITH 1T.
Twenty-Five Gases N hcOlsnny, Alabams-fhs
Census Of jackson COmplsted-Psas
Ofa More General Spread
Of the Epidemic.

JACKSONVILLE, FLA, September T.
Reports heretofore without confirmation
that yellow fever was raging at McClenny,
on the Florida Railpad and Navigation
Company, were confirmed to-day. About
twenty-five cases have been reported from
there, but there have been three or four
deaths, is claimed, from malaris fever
McClenny is town of 200 or 300 persons,
and the county seat of Baker county
Montgomery, Alabama, has quarantined
against Baker county.
The Committee on population completed
the census to-day, and reported the total
population remaining at Is, 3,577-whites,
3,945; eolored, 9,Sl2; unwilling to leave,
10, 375, mostly coiored people; with means
for self-support, 1886; without means,
8, 1876; refused 70 answer as TO means, l, $780,
1t is expected that two or
three thousand will leave in
ten or twelve days. The complete de-
population of the city is impossible, and
those without means can hardly be pro-
vided for In the refugee camps under q
month or six weeks, during which time it
is feared the epidemic will have done its
work and hundreds of lives sacrificed.
The negroes are 10th to leave, being told
by politicians that they will lose their votes
by 3 change of residency.
This has been another day of gloom and
death, and what is worse the outlook for
the immediate future is gloomier still
SeVenty-seyen new cssss were reported to
the Board Of Health to-day for the
twenty-four hours ending at six
p. m. There were eight deaths from
yellow fever during the same period.
Among the prosirations ny fever are Hon.
H. A. Lsngle, chairman OF the Committee
on Sanitation of the Citizens Association,
who has worked indefstigsbly since the
outhreaE of the fever. Total new cases to
date, 3l1; total deaths, so.

THE RIOT.

Fears That shaffsr 10 Dangerously Hurt
The Wheeling Men Act In seif.Dsfsaos.
There 10 nothing new OF interest regard
ing the details Of the Taylontown riot,
although there 10 still large amount Of
street talk concerning the unfortunate o.
fair. 1t was stated yesterday that Adam
Shaffer was in q serious condition, which
is probable from what Ia known concerning
the terrible beating he received, and there
was grave fear expressed In some quarters
that his skull had been fractured BY the
blow he received on Ms head from the stone.
The more the circumstances Of the affair
are studied, the moro certain II becomes that
the Wheeling men had great provoostion.
and that they for the most part acted In
self-defense, 70 prevent Shaffer being killed,
az he certainly would have besn. There
ia good deal Of blame attached 70 HAnn's
course In connection with the affair, he
being held responsible for the entiro trouble
by many. II 10 pretty certain that he
threw the brick which knocked Shaffer
down, tearing away . good portion OF his
scalp, and perhaps fracturing his skull, and
a Wheeling officsr stated yesterday that
hsd he heard Ham tell his version OF the
fight, after he came down 10 this city on
the freight train, be would certainly have
locked him mp % IN accessory 70 the
murder.
The Wheeling men have secured the ssr-
vices Of two attorneys, and strong defense
will be made At the preliminary examination
on Monday. Brsrd II still at largs. and has
probably put . good deal Of ground be-
tween himself and Little Washington by
this time. Peter Kress, 10 whom y st-
tributed the shot which killed Btaub, dc.
niss II In the most emphatic way, and says
the mention Of his nsme In connection
with the killing probably grew ont Of tho
remark made BY Brand while the latter
was msking his escaps. He W. stopped
by two men, when be exclaimed: IL
didn't the man; Il Wa Peter KreB."
II seems pretty clear that tbs oil region
toughs have besn In the habit Of congrs-
eating In Tsylorstown and guyipg pasasrs
BY, and that they deliberately provoked
the quarrel with the wheeling msn, whom
they thought too full Of liquor 70 resent
their insults. On the contrary, the hunt.
ers made good Hght against big odda, and
prevented ShafEsr from bsing killed. The
hearing of Mosday u awaited with In
tefest.
