Senator Stewards Opinion on the Effects
of the Exclusion Bill.

WASHINGTON, September 10Th. There
does not appear TO be any truth in the re-
port that measure will be pressed through,
looking to the enforced return of the Chi
nese now in America to China, at the ex-
pense OF the Federal Government.
Senator Stewart OF Nevada, when spoken
with upon the question, said: Constant
efforts have been made by the Pacific coast
delegation for the last fifteen years to Sc
cure legislation to stay the influx of Chi
nese laborers with very Door SUCCESS.
These most familiar with the subject are of
opinion that their coming has not even
been checked, much less stopped. All
laws and treaties heretofore made have
been evaded. The bill just passed in con.
nectlon with existing laws, declares no
more shall come, which is a long step in
the right direction. 1t will however, re-
cuire additional legislation to keep them
out. Those here must be registered and
some means of identification devised. and
the northern and southern borders guarded.
Perhaps 1t will be necessary to provide
that no Chinese laborer shall reside in the
United States within a given distance of
the Canadian or Mexican boundaries. The
Pacific coast people will not be likely to
propose legislation to deport the Chinese
laborers who are here, until their coming
is stopped Continual deportation with
clandestire arrivals equalling, and perhaps
exceeding, the number deported, would be
very expensive and not very effective. The
Pacific coast delegation will bend all their
energies to stop the coming of more Chi
nese, and when that is done thev would be
exceedingly thankful if the United States
would deport these here. 1t is certain
that they can never be kept ont by treaties.
IL II some are allowed 10 come all will come.
They cannot be sorted and the value of
the bill just passed is its disregard OF treaty
obligations"
Senator Stewart in his tariff speech said
that England, free trade country in
reality, permits no free trade with the
United States He said that import duties
were levied on a list of very important
American manufactured articles, and she
even imposed export duties on her own
articles shipped to America, in order to
prevent that free trade which the Demo-
Gratis desire so much to secure. Heseyerely
criticised the President for his silver policy.
and said that by the misuse of the
enormous power at his command the Pres
ident had depressed the value of silver II
per cent. He thought it very evident why
foreign and American bond holders favored
Cleveland, while they are being enriched
by bis low standard of contraction of silver.
The bill granting the right of way to a
railroad through the Umstilla Indian Res
ervation in Oregon was taken up and
amended, and after some further business
the Senate adjourned.

through Baltimore this morning en- route

iui OF enthusiasm over his trip through the

II ours were military Government

lgaton years ago. Foreign nations are
more alive to our needs and our defects
than we ere. The need of an inland system
OF canals and waterways is undoubted.D
he thinks the Erie Canal should be
widened and deepened, as also should the
Delaware, Raritan and Chesapeake. His
trip is being made for the purpose of gath
ering facts and figures for a report which
he proposes to lay before Congress.
Because there is no war in sight" he
says, rs no reason why we should not have

of necessity, would be an immense saving

PhotographIng a Thunderbolt.

Hitherto, we believe, there has been no
success in the attempts at photographing
a flash of lightning. If the exact locality
and time of 4 thunderboIt could be known
minute beforehand, it might simplify the
problem somewhat. But at any rate, the
enterprise has been successful in one case.
During thunderstorm at Wakefield.
Mass, on Saturday night, the 23d of June,
A. H. Bidden, cashier in the office of the
Boston Herald, succeeded in obtaining two
good negatives of thunderbolts. From
these he has developed some fine pictures.
large and accurate in detail, and highly
interesting as studies, both in the photoc-
rapher's art and in natural philosophy.
One shows a big bolt descending in a
slightly zigzag shape, seemingly into the
ground. \ closer inspection, by the aid of
a magnifying glass, discloses the appear
ance of a spiral motion. 1t seems to show
that the bolt descended, in reality, spirally.
This of itself is fact of some interest, and
ut may be) of some Importance. Doubt
less the suggestion it involves will be aided
by other experiments to demonstrate or
disprove the seeming fact.
The other picture is still more curious.
1t reveals three principal bolts descending
In different places, and novel scene is
disclosed in the shape of numerous thread
like streams of fire, connecting from both
sides with each of the NAN streams. The
resemblance to a number of large rivers
on map, which shows also their numer-
Gus afiiuents, is so striking that it must
impress every beholder. This triple blaze
of lightning, descending in three widely
separated bolts, seems to be visibly con-
nected with a general crinklingn deyel-
opment of the electric fire athwart all that
part of the sky-a general flashing out of
little bolts from the greater, and frequently
at right angles with the main shaft.
These things no doubt occur in very
many thunder-storms, but are not seen in
their detail, owing TO the swiftness of the
movement. If the storm occurs at night,
of course the exhibition is far more
splendid, but the general impression re-
ceived by the beholder is of large and
dazzling display of electricity in zigzag
bolts and crinkling side flashes that play
against the dark background of the night
sky in manner too rapid to admit of dis
cerning the details. This photograph re-
veals the details, and it is a surprising
scene. l.. B. Merriam, of this city, has

number of deaths by the recent cyclone

Among the dead recovered at La Isbella
de Sagua was a mother and two children of
one family clasped in each others arms.
A letter from Sagua says the losses in
