restrictions on Chinese.

WASHINGTON, Feb. 29.-The bill to
amend the Chinese restriction act was re-
ported favorably by Sherman from the
committee on foreign relations. The bill
provides that the words Chinese labor
ers, and Chinese passengers" shall be

Every Chinese laborer SO departing who
fails to return to the United States within
said six months shall be taken and deemed
to have waived his right to return under

Train Robbers at Work.

ST. LOUIS, Feb. 29.-The st. Louis,
Arkansas II Texas express train was
robbed at Kingsland, Ark, early this
morning. The express messenger locked
the doors, but the robbers smashed them
in and secured 50 1000.
Later dispatches give further details of
the robbery. At | o'clock this morning
when the north-bound express was about
a mile from Kingsland the train suddenly
came to a standstil and the conductor
stepped to the door to see what was wrong.
As he opened the door a bullet whistled
by his head and he at once retired inside
the car, where he remained during the
trouble. The robbers went to work in a
cool and systematic way. They boarded
the engine and commanded the engineer
and fireman to get down from the box.
Taking the fireman and engineer with
them, the robbers ordered them to cal
on the messenger to open the car. They
did as ordered, but he refused to show up.
Then began q fusilade, which lasted
while attempts were being made to force
a way into the car. The fireman was or
dered to take a slash bar from the engine
and break In the door of the car. He
obeyed, but as he could not get in after
ten minutes delay the robbers proceeded
to set the car On fire. This forced the
the messenger to open the door, and the
engineer and fireman were made to get
into the car first, their bodies thus pro-
tecting the robbers as they climbed in.
The messenger opened the safe without
further trouble and the contents were
transferred into a sack.
The exact amount taken is not known,
though late reports state hat be-
tween $1,000 and $4,000 was taken.
Some place the loss much higher. A
sheriff and posse are in pursuit Of the
robbers. The passengers and mail car
was not molested.

says that Austria and Germany regard
the African campaign as purely an Italian
matter, and are convinced hat it will not
jeopardize Italy's military position.

which to build a letter to the bishops.

THE SECRET SERVICE.
Report Of Chief Bell Of It's Operations
For the Past Year.

The 6rst annual report Of Mr.. John 8. Ben.
chief Of the secret service division of the Treas
ury, shows that during the past year the agents
Of the service caused the arrest Of 4o7 persons
for onenses against the laws governing eoun-
terfeiting, &c. OF these, LAG persons we're con-
victed or plead guilty, 165 were discharged
and ninety-six cases have not yet been deter
mined. OF those arrested during the past
year, forty-six had been previously arrested
for similar ofenses. OF the persons arrested,
ls2 were Of American birth 81 Of italian, 81 Of
German, IS we're American negroes, 10 were
from Ireland, and the remainder were scat
tered throughout Europe. The birth places Of
81 were unknown. Fifty per cent Of the 1874
foreigners arrested were Italians The fines
imposed by the courts during the year aggre-
gate &22 494, and the sentences aggregate 267
years and IA days.
Counterfeit and raised notes, coins and imi-
tation money to the representative value Of
S2,1l7, 52S.31 were captured and secured dur
ing the year. Other property was captured as
follows: Eighty-fve plates, 40 dies, IS molds,
During the past year only two new counterfeit
notes have made their appearance, both being
silver certificates. One Of them, o two-dollar
note, was of such poor character as to render
its circulation almost impossible and was not
put on the market. The second, S5, was a very
fair production and was put on the market
February 4, 1888, at Detroit. The manufacture
has stopped on account Of the leader being
under arrest for q similar offense in Canada.
In conclusion, Chief Bell renews the recon-
rnendations OF his successor that the title Of
the appropriations for the service be changed
and that the amount of the appropriation be
increased to 100000. He also suggests the
enactment Of statute prohibiting the making
or selling, except by competent authority, OF
any die or mold, by which may be struck, or
cast in metal or any material, the similitude or
likeness Of the diverse or reverse side Of coins
current in the United States.

CAPITOL TOPICS.
MRS. ROBINSON WANTS HER RIGHT


Senator Dawes to-day presented the me-
mortal Of Harriet h. Robinson, who most
earnestly petitions the Senate to remove her
political disabilities SO that she may DO in
vested with full powers to exercise her right Of
self-government at the ballot-box, all state con-
situations or statute laws to the contrary not
withstanding. The petition and an accompany
ing bill were referred to the select committee
on woman suffrage.
THEY DO NOT LIKE THE NOMINATION.
The republicans at the capitol, Senators and
Representatives alike, are indignant at the
nomination of Leon o. Bailey for q. s. attor-
ney for the district of Indiana. He is said to
have been the one most active in circulating
the campaign story of Mr.. Harrison's having
said that 81 a day was enough for
a working man, and is charged with political
methods that render him especially objection
able to the republicans. There is a very gen.
eral impression that the republican Senate will
not only refuse to confirm him, but will make
their position more emphatic by q prompt
rejection Of the nomination.
Senator Turpee, when approached by STAR
reporter this afternoon, very emphatically
refused either to acknowledge or dis
own any particular interest in Bailey's
stood that it was at the Senator's request that
Mr.. Bailey's name was sent in.
Senator Quay left for Indianapolis last night.
The Senate yesterday afternoon rejected Mr.
McPherson's proposed amendment to the tariff
bill to reduce the duty on car wheels and
other manufactured steel articles.
bill granting pension of $50 per month
to the widow of the late Commander Samuel
81. Baker was introduced in the Senate yester-
day by Mr.. Gray, and was referred to the COM
mittee on pensions
