The Negotiations with rekin.

WAsurNGToN, Sept. 2O.-The president
transmitted to the senate report from
the secretary of state, together with ac
companying correspondence in relation to
the Chinese treaty. The most significant
letter is one from the Pekin government
to Minister Dandy under date OF January
12, 1887, in which attention is called to
the o:ltrages committed upon chinese la
borcrs, and the Washington authorities are
reminded that the celestial emperor s
subjects in the United States are entitled
TO the protection, rights, privileges and
iinmumt;esi accorded to American citi
zens. China treats the Americans strict
ly in conformity with the treaty stippla-
tons. hut the United States treats the
Chinese in ouch manner as if the treaties
were made for no purpose" The cores
nnndencc explains ut great length the
he various stops taken tc bring about
final negotiations. but throws no light
whatever upon The present status of the
treaty.

OUR NEXT CONGRESSMAN
Hon. VIM. Prentiss and some Of the
Things that Make His Election a
Certainty.

Hon. VIM. Prentiss and Some Of the
Things that Make His Election a
Certainty.
Hon. VIM Prentiss, of Mscomb, the
next representative in congress from the
Eleventh district. arrived this morning
and is spending the day in the city. Mr..
Prentiss speaks with much encourage
ment and enthusiasm of the Frightening
prospects for the democracy all over the
district wherever he has been.
There is evidently the same growing
feeling for the democratic standard
bearer everywhere, that there has been
steadily manifested in Rock Island city
and al over the county ever since his
nomination. The people want such as
he is, live energetic man, and every
where that he goes the fact is demons
strated that he is the most popular can
dldate that has ever been before the peo-
pie of the Eleventh district for congress
sional honors. But his energy, ability
and popularity are not the only character
istics that will insure his election The
fact that he is democrat, in sympathy
| with the present and coming administra-
ton of national affairs, will make him
votes among all who want a man in the
| lower house of the national legis-
lature who will be in position. politically
and otherwise to make his influence
for and in behalf of the district he epre-
sents. felt. Being in sympathy with the
administration and a member of the
majority party of the house he vii
assume standing that republic
can could not expect TO attain, ant
will be enabled therefore to accomplish
more work than Mr. Gest, who is not OIL
ly lacking in ability and energy as com.
pared with Mr.. Prentiss. but cannot ex
pect otherwise than TO be at the last end
of minor committees and is therefore, as
he practically acknowledged while here
handicapped from doing even what ht
would like to.
These are but a few of the reasons WHY
Mr.. Prentiss is certain of election as con
gresham from this district, and the AR
GUS voices the unanimous sentiment o
all who have met Mr.. Prentiss, when
says he will be representative that al
may be proud of, and one that will &C
complish for his constituency and for hi
people more than Mr.. Gest could possihl,
be in position to accomplish.

Mr.. &. +. Dieckman, who for years
kept the grocery store on the division
line between Rock Island and Moline, and
who was adjudged insane on December
81, 1885, and sent to the Jacksonville
asylum for treatment, was temporarily re-
leased from that institution on Aug %,
last, and has been in the city since. He
tells piuful story of his woes and
wrongs. He says he was adjudged
insane and sent to the asylum up
on the evidence of his wife and other
relatives who coDspired to send him
there. Just prior to going away he
states he decided his property to his wife
on condition that she provide and take
care of him. Now upon his return he al
leges that bis wife and her attorneys have
swindled him out of all, and that he is
helpless and penniless upon the world
and must 90 bark to the asylum sub
icct of charity as he has no other place
TO go to.
He swears he never was insane. that HI
only had malarial fever. and that hi:
wife's disposition in having him takel
into custody, can be no more clearly
shown than in the fact that she had hin
arrested and locked up in the county
Jail during Christmas day, while she wa
enjoying herself
