A SINGULAR PROCEEDING.
The Senate Wants to Withhold the Chimes
Restriction Bill from the House and
the President.

WASHINGTON, September 19.-The res
olution reported by Edmunds this morn
ing from the committee on foreign rela-
tions, instructing the president of the SEN
ate to withhold, until further direction
of the senate, transmission to the house
of the Chinese restriction bill, has not eff
fected its purpose. The passage of the
measure was duly announced to the house
when themotion to reconsider was defeat
ed. The act was then enrolled, signed by
the speaker, and yesterday about five p.
N. signed by the president Of the senate.
The clerk of the committee on enrolled
bills took it last night over to the house,
but that body had adjourned, and there
was no one there to receive it. So it re-
NAMED in the custody OF the senate com
mittee over night, and was actually IN the
possession of the senate when the resolu-
ton of the foreign relations committee
was reported. The rules Of the senate, at
first reading seemed to provide that
THE DEFEAT OF A MOTION
to reconsider shall be the final disposi-
tion, so far as the senate is concerned, of
any pending question, though upon this
point there is room for slight difference
of opinion. Senator Bower, chairman of
the senate committee on enrolled bills, af-
ter careful examination Of the rule, held
that the announcement of the passage of
the bill was virtual surrender of its
custody, and he took the responsibility of
permitting his clerk to proceed in the
discharge of duty as usual. Thereupon
at quarter before one o'clock to day,
the enrolled bill was duly signed, ready
for transmission to the president, and
was delivered to the proper officers of the
house.

ANOTHER OBSTACLE.

The Chinese restriction bill seems to
have met with another obstacle, Repre-

act of courtesy to the senate, to give an
opportunity for action on the resolution

OxfOrd's College Oarsmen.

The country around Oxford is beauti-
full. The town itself is quaint and nost
picturesque. The life here is one that
would charm either student or young
man fond of society and athletics. The
river is constantly thronged by college
oarsmen. When the racin SEASON is on,
AIN told, one of the most u ,iting event
of each day is the struggle to get what is
known as the top cf the river. AS it was
explained to me, the top of the river
means this: Several boats crews some
times to the number of fifteen or twenty
will be placed in line-one slightly
ahead of the other on the river. At a
signal they start off racing, for a certain
point. The object of each boats crew in
the rear is to run down the one just ahead
of them. This is called bum ping. If
they can bump the nose of their boat
against the one just ahead CT them, that
entities them to go up above the boat
that has been bumped. And the boat
that has been bumped falls back one in
the line. The boat that obtains the
position OF the head of the river il the
one that is able TO distance all conpeti-
tors and to draw away from them in this
most exciting OF struggles. Very often
the boat crew dumped is turDed clea
over and has to pick its way out as best'
can. But this only appears to add fun
and hilerity to the race.
