His Many Friends Greet Him Royalty on
Ills Return From Europe.
NEw YoRE, Sept. l3.-Fricnds and ad-
mirers of Hon. Chauncey NJ. nepew to
the number OF about 800 started down
the bay on the steamer Sam Sloan at I
o'clock this morning to greet that gem
tIeman on his sretqrn home on the steam
ship Fms. Tho steamer was slgnaled
shortly before noon.
Mr.. Depew arrived Mt quarantine sta
ton this afternoon on the steamer Ennis.
In speaking about his trip, Mr.. Depew
said: The people on the other side are
sadly mixed on the subject OF our poll
ti6s. They don't understand what we
are driving at. From reports clipped from
our papers, they imagine that the Re-
publicans are in favor OF free whisky,
and that the Democrats, as n natural
consequence, are PFohibitionists. And
they think Free Trade would stand q
better show if the Democrats were not
ali tcetotalers, Tie best thing for patri-
otism is to go abroad. II all the Anarch-
lists, socialists and disgruntled and dis
satisfied people in the country would go
to Europe for gew years they would
come back enthusiastic Americans all
covered with flags.
MIR. Depey was impressed with the
fact that Europe was an armed camp.
"All the youth and muscle lies idle
under arms while the women till the
fields, and the people aro taxed to sup
mort them. In this country there are
GO,OOO,OOO OF people with an army that
cannot be found with the aid OF a
microscope and navy that coal boat
could run over, and they are as happy as
rnn be.

SENATOR JONES on rue CHINESE BILL
no Urges Its Immediate Passage by the
SGnntc.


Senate.
WASHINGTON, Il. O., Sept. Ex-senator
Jones, speaking on the Chinese bill to-
day, referred to the pending bill as hav-
ing been railroaded through the House
of Representatives, and asked whether
it was rational to suppose that Mr.. Scott
could have "run that hill through
against the will Of the President Of the
United States, and in the face OF the
Diplomatic Department OF the Govern
ment." The delay in the Senate, Mr..
Jones asCribed to the fact that the Dem.
ocrats supposed that they had got all
the advantage which they could get by
the passage of. the Chinese exclusion
bill. The evil Of Chinese immigration,
he said, was increasing daily. Hundreds
and thousands Of Cinnamon were coming
annually into the country and driving
Americans opt Of Unemployment. We're the
people, he asked, TO wait upon gilt
edged diplomacy" until the barbaric
government of China should say that it
was willing that the government of the
United States should exclude that tide
of immigration which everyone believes
to be an irreparable injury to the coNn;
try? Such Gi!t edged diplomacy might
be very refined, hut it was not very ro.
bust. The people of the Pacific coast
demanded that there should be no
more delay. They said that the subject
was one over which the United States
were sovereign, and that it was deroga'
tory to the dignity Of the American
people that they should ask the Chinese
government to join with them before
they could decide who should be domi.
Ciled in this country. Aftera protracted
debate between Senators Jones and Vest,
it was agreed that the vote on Nr. Blair's
motion to reconsider shall be taken at
o'clock tomorrow,

Very Industrious.

That Democratic sheet, which
calls itselt a Prohibition organ, the
West Virginia FRIEDMAN, is still
kicking away at the Republican
party because it is not in favor Of
third or Prohibition party. This
is a method to defeat the Amend.
ment.-Industrial World.
The World is very industrious,to
get up such great big whopper as
that. The FREEMAN is not Dem
ocratic sheet, the Democrats being
witnesses, and it is not kicking at
anything; but it is hitting straight
at any and everything that opposes
the Amendment or favors the In
fernal Liquor Traffic. It has never
asked the Republican party to favor
a "third party" but it does appeal
to all honest men and women, who
profess to be in favor of Prohibition,
to work and cote as they pray.
