DAsTARDLY OUTRAGE.
Miscreants Wreck Burlington Train
The Conductor Fatally Beaten.

CHICAGO, May 3d.-A Burlington freight
train was badly wrecked at late hour to-
night, near the stockyards. The circum-
stances point to the belief that it was the
work of strikers, or their sympathizers
The engines and two cars had passed
when some unknown miscreaut threw a
switch, and the next fifteen cars were i'm
mediately derailed and piled up in hope
less wreck in a ditch. AS the switch was
thrown a man near the rear of the train
threw tie on the track, wrecking the last
three cars.
AT the same time a car of DOPE" q
material of highly infiammable nature
used for oiling wheels, which was in the
center of the train, was set on fire. The
fire engines responded to the alarm, and
the flames were confined to the original
car.
The wrecked train is strewn along the
track for nearly half mile.
Soon after the wreck occurred police
man found the conductor of the train,
James A. Edwards, lying near the track,
bruised and insensible. When revived he
said three men boarded his caboose near
the last crossing and attacked him. He
was beaten over the head with sorie in
strument, and his valuables taken. The
physicians think he cannot recover, owing
to internal injuries.
Daniel Hanning, Chicago and Atlantic
engineer, was found lurking in the vicinity
by the police and arrested for carrying con-
cealed weapons. The crew of the wrecked
train was made up entirely of new men,
who had been working since the strike be-

its second days session this afternoon. 1t

highest terms of the Republican party,
past, present and future; expresses conf

Divine Providence for the destruction of
the saloon, as it was for the overflow of
slavery, and asks of the Republican Ma
tional Convention that the platform shall
contain declaration of hostility to saloons.
A resolution offered. urging all women to
give their support to the Republican party
whenever or wherever it stands for the pro-
lection of home against the saloons, was
unanimously adopted. Adjourned sine

IN SECRET SESSION.
What Senators Had To say on the Chinese
Question.

Copyright 1888. bg the California associated PressI
WASHINGTON, May 3d-The Senate, in
executive session to-day, unanimously
adopted the amendments to the Chinese
treaty proposed by tie Committee on For
eign Relations, after which there was quite
an interesting discussion. Sherman, Chair
man OF the committee, explained the prop
oSitions of the treaty, and contended that
legislation might be had, without viola
ton OF the treaty, accomplishing substan-
TALLY what the Pacific coast delegation de-
manded when they appeared before the Com
mittee on Foreign Relations some time ago
and interchanged views which were printed
He further stated that the amendments
proposed by the committee, while they did
not--according to his views-materially
change the intent of the treaty, removed
some very embarrassing doubts which per.
sons on the Pacific coast most anxious for
the exclusion of the Chinese entertained as
to the construction the Courts would place
on the treaty. The desire of the committee
was to make the treaty satisfactory to the
people of the Pacific coast and thought it
could be followed by legislation which
would be satisfactory.
Mitchell said he was opposed to the
treaty, or any treaty with China that Con-
gress has right to legislate and exclude
Chinese or anybody else it felt disposed to
exclude; that the treaty would trammel
legislation and be hindrance rather than
benfit.
Teller took the same view, and will
speak at the next executive session of the
Senate on the subject.
Stewart said he thought the treaty was
step in the right direction. 1t was better
than the old treaty, and if it did not work
well Congress could legislate for the ex-
clusion of the Chinese as well with the
new treaty as with the old ole. One was
no more in the way of legislation than the
other. He did not doubt the power of Con-
gress to legislate for the exclusion of all
Chinese, treaty or no treaty, but Chinese
We're now coming into the country rapidly,
the Courts were overrun with Chinese ha-
beas corpus cases. and immediate action
was necessary. The new treaty, with the
amendments absolutely excludes all Chi
nese now out of the country. 1t limits the
number now here who may go to and re-
turn from China to a very small class,
whereas under the present treaty all may
90 and return.
He also said it was impossible to guard
cur northern and southern borders and
prevent the influx of Chinese from those
sources if they were allowed to come al
all. He suggested that they should only
be allowed TO enter at a limited number CT
ports. He advised the ratification of the
treaty and the immediate passage of law
to carry it into effect, and said that if the
law was not effective there was not doubt
of getting further legislation.
Morgan made an elaborate speech, in
which he took the ground that, while he
was in favor OF excluding sill Chinese, and
| would support all reasonable propositions
to accomplish that end, he was unwilling

to violate treaty obligations with China and
deprive the United States of the advantages
OF commercial intercourse with that vast
empire. If Chinese laborers could be ex-
cluded without such extreme measures, so
far as he could learn the Chinese Govern
ment was willing TO keep her people at
home and enter into any reasonable treaty
to that end.
The treaty was not acted on when the
Senate adjourned, and goes over until Mon
day. If the treaty is ratified, as it undoubt-
edly will be, very stringent exclusion law
will follow at an early day.
1t is understood that all the Pacific coast
delegation in both Houses, except Mitchell,
prefer TO take the treaty, with the amend
ments, than to reject it, and run the risk of
obtaining legislation excluding the Chinese
regardless of treaty obligations.
