Dennis Kesrney, OF San Francisco, talked
to the House Committee on Foreign Al
fairs an hour this morning in support of
the Cummings bill, prohibiting Chinese i'm.
migration. He declared there would be
nothing for $4,000 children in the San
Francisco schools to do if something was
not done to stop the inflow of Chinese, as
no white person will learn a trade followed
by Chi aman. Kearney displayed a map
of Chinatown. in the heart OF San Francis
co, and pictured the manner in which the
inhabitants OF that quarter lived. He said
in nine blocks in Chinatown there were 67
houses of prostitution, $50 gambling dens,
and opium resorts innumerable. During
his argument Kearney became very earnest
in his denunciations OF the Chinese and al
most violent against those who opposed
absolute prohibition Of Chinese immiera-
ton.

between the border towns of Mexico and
those OF the United States under Mexican

would pass the law to carry into effect the
provisions OF the treaty with Mexico which
was ratified two or three years ago the
purpose OF the memorial would be sub.
stantially accomplished.

added that nothing could help the COM

than the execution and enforcement OF
that treaty, The memorial was referred
to the Committee on Foreign Relations.

railroads through receivers from depriving

execution of it by the Interior Depart
ment, which permitted citizens OF the
United States to be deprive of their
homes on public lands Oh false pretenses.
No action was taken on The resolution.

SHARED THE APPREHENSION EXPRESSED
by President Cleveland. The Republican
statesmen voicing such opinions had not
been denounced as free traders. The voice
of responsible officials of the Government
was united in it's expression of the dangers
which President Cleveland has called upon
Congress to avert. No patriotic American,
excepting, possibly. Sherman himself, will
calmly contemplate the unnecessary with.
drawal and boarding of money. Senator
Sherman had protested most vigorously
against the Presidents declaring that the
internal revenue should not be done away

had expressed much tn. same opinion that
he now severely criticised. In 1870 and in
1882 he had
