OUR AsIATIC INCUBUS.
Anti-Chinese Measures--Denis Kearney to
the Front.

fCoplg, 1883, by the Cali fornia Associated Press
WASHINGTON, January Represents
tive Cummings, of New York, introduced
in the House to-day Mitchell's Chinese ex-
clusion bill with an amendment providing
that Judges of United States Courts shall
not issue writs of habeas corpus to arriving
Chinese, while the Mitchell bill provides
for absolute exclusion. Cummings wishes
to guard against the possibility of Chinese
being allowed to land upon any plea what
soever. 1t is very doubtful if the Legisla-
tive Department of the Government would
undertake to dictate to the Judicial De-
partment how it should exercise powers
derived directly from the Constitution.
KEARNEY TO HAVE HEARING.
VIM. Walter Phelps has promised Denis
Kearney that he shall have hearing be-
fore the Foreign Affairs Committee next
Thursday. Kearney has received a report
from B. w. Eccleston, of Philadelphia,
Secretary of the Executive Committee of
the National Laundrymen's Association,
giving statistics from uncompleted reports
respecting the laundry business east of the
Rocky mountains. From these partial re-
turns it is ascertained that there are II, ,74O
Chinese laundries employing all Chinese
labor, with capital invested of $5S7, $50.
The aggregate of wages paid it is impossi-
BILE to tell, but the estimated busi-
ness done is $50 0,531 800. The number of
American laundries heard from east of the
Rocky mountains is 6,242. with capital in
vested of $7.S03, $50. Number of hands
employed, SCI, $40 aggregate of wages
paid, 81 ,123, ,740 estimated business done
annually, $32, ,463, 600.

New York, January 23d.-Eldridge T.

In an interview, he says The law IS it now
reads says that q condemned prisoner must
be hanged by the neck until he is dead,
and this was not carried out in the case of
Drisc0ll. His neck YVES broken, and death
ensued the moment the weight fell, so that
he was not hanged till he was dead If the
intention of the law is to break the neck.
then sOp e more certain and more expedi-
tious way than hanging should and ought
to be substituted. All executions cannot
be as sure and certain as this one, and in
every instance the neck is not broken.
Electricity, he still thinks, is the best agent
for capital punishment, and he will urge
the passage Of the bill drafted by the Com

A BIG FIRE,
Million and Half of Property De
stroyed in Philadelphia.

PHILADELPHIA, January 24th-A. NJ
At IL o'clock last night fire occurred in
the extensive dry goods, millinery and
trimmings store of Marks Bros, corner of
Eighth and Arch streets. A stiff wind soon
famed the flames across Eighth street to
the large millinery store of Adolph Heller,
and up Eighth to Shonemann Bros extern
sive trimmings and notions store, and up
to l o'clock six large establishments have
succumbed. A large number of stores on
the south side of Arch street were damaged
by the heat and flooded with water to such
an extent that the losses will be quite
heavy.
The fire is still burning fiercely at l
o'clock, but it is thought the greatest dam
age has already been done. The losses al
ready foot up million and half.
Lateral o'clock the fire was under
control. Only rough estimate can be
made of the loss, but it will not aggre-
gate much less than the first figures.
