LONDON, Sept 19.-The London Daily

Canada and the United States, in some new
form OF commercial union may be sooner or
later brought about. Regarding the talk of
annexation, the Daily News says that al
though Quebec agitators and American
Senatorial utterances play with the annexa-

serious discussion.

today:
Ordered, That the President Of the Senate he
directed 20 withhold the transmission 10 the
House Of Representatives OF the act House bin
70 prohibit the coming Of Chinese laborers into
the United States until further direction Of the
Senate. ~
He asked for its immediate consideration.
Senator Teller objected to its present con-
sideration, and the order went over until to-
morrow.
Senator Vest inquired Of the presiding
offi;er what the effect of the non-action on
the proposed order would be, but no response
was made.
The resolution did not effect Its purpose.
The passage Of the measure was duly an
nounced to the House when the motion to
reconsider was defeated. The act was then
enrolled, signed by the Speaker, and yester-
day, ABOUT O'Clock, was signed by the Pres
idept OF the Senate. The clerk OF the COM

A pay With cen. harrison.

INDIANAPOLIS, Ind, Sept 19.-Gen. Har-
rison began to receive callers at 7.3O this
morning. They were chiefly visitors who
remained in the city over night and others
attending the State fair. The General made
four addresses today to several visiting dele
cations. The first delegation comprised
some fifty veterans Of the Seventh Indiana
Cavalry. The veterans we're introduced and
shook hands with Gen. and Mrs. Harrison.
At 2 o'clock delegations from Iroauois
county, Ill, and La Porte. Ind, numbering
LogeLner over 1000 were received at Uniyer-
sity Park. Gen. Harrison addressed these.
stating that the issue this fall was the
principle Of protection. The Democrats be-
lieYed protection was robbery; the Republl-
cans believed 1t wise and necessary. IL the
doctrine that protection Is robbery Is sus-
tanned, then the Democratic representatives
will not be faithful unless they remove pro-
teeti0n-n0t per cent Of Ii, but all OF IL.
The adoption OF this policy means lower
wages and this cheapening process may be
pushed so far as to involve the cheapening
of human life and the loss Of human happf-
ness. [Applause.l He again advocated
spending the surplus by the purchasing Of
bonds at premium.
The third delegation, numbering 600 from
Grundy county, Ill, were received in the
Park at p. m, and Gen. Harrison made an
other speech. When the General reached
home, he found 20 Indiana veterans drawn
up In line in the yard and shook hands with
them and then made speech.
