CHINESE BILL APPROVED.
THE PRESIDENT MAKES AN ADDl-
TIONAL RECO NMENDATlON
Not Pleasing to the Pacific senators-Re-
ceipt of the News in San Francisco-A
Dull Day in Congress-O other Capital
Matters of Interest

WAsHINGTON, Oct. 1.-The president to-
day sent to Congress his approval of the
Chinese exclusion bill, accompanied by his
reasons therefor, and suggesting that a
joint resolution be passed allowing the adj
mission of such Cinnamon as are now on
their way to this country. The remarks of
Senators Stewart and DolpA after the
message was read indicate that there will
be opposition to this additional legislation,
on the ground that similar legi lation has
been tried before with the effect of giving
admission to other Cinnamon than those
intended
The president recommends an appropri-
alton of S91G 6l9 as an indemnity for all
losses and injuries sustained by Chinese
subjects in the Rock Springs massacre, rot
because the United States is legally liable
therefor, but in a spirit of humanity betit
ting our nation.
Conferees Unable to Agree.
The conferees on the general deficiency
bill have disagreed in regard to four
items of the bill as follows Providing for
the payment of the balance of the years
salary to the family of Chief Justice
Waite extending the laws of the United
States over No Man's -land ; providing for
the payment of "A years salary to the
widow of Lafayette darcy, an officer OF
the internal revenue, who lost his life by
the yellow fever while engaged in the dis
charge of duty, and the Senate amend
ment making provisions for the Womana
Industrial Home at Utah.

EGGS IN THE EEL.
Nr. Mather, the Fish Culturist, Finds Nj
Millions in One.

fr. Mather, the Fish Culturfst, Finds Nine
Millions in One.
Scientists have known that the eel
is an egg-producing fish for dozen
years or more, the Russian naturalist,
Syriska, having first figured the ova-
ries of the female and the spermaries of
the male, but how and where these
minute eggs are laid is still unknown.
In October the eels run down to salt
water to breed. and in spring the young
cells ascend the brooks and rivers in
swarms. As they are then some two
inches long and the size of darning-
needle, it is evident that they must
have been Matched several weeks be-
fore, perhaps in February, to have
grown so much from so small an egg.
Mr.. Fred Mather, the well-known
fish culturist, has been estimating the
number of eggs in six-pound eel in
November Tin what is know to fisher
men as .seel fat, but which are really
the ovaries), and credits that eel with
fully 100000. Under the microscope
he found that they measured eighty to
the linear inch, and, taking one ovary
and dividing it by means of the most
delicate scales known to science, he
halved quartered. and further divided
the mass seventeen times, until he had
section small enough to count the
