Eject that It May Possibly Have
An the Fall Elections.

WASHINGTON, July 26.-Many Treas.
ury officials, including Acting Secretary
Batehellor, believe that the adoption Of
the Attorney Generals opinion on the
transit of Chinese means the virtual re-
peal Of the Exclusion Law. They admit
that the safeguards established by the
circular Of January, 1888, are but himsy
at best, and that coolies can manage to
come to this country under the tourists
character and remain when they are in.
Mr.. Bachelor believes that the only
safeguard the country can now have
would be the detailing of special Treas.
ury agents to accompany each party of
coolies from the time they enter the
country until their departure. This
would mean an expenditure of $780,
900 annually. 1t is safe to state that
if Mr.. Bachelor had had the say the
President Of the Southern Pacific or any
other road could not have secured this
permission, for the Attorney Generals
opinion would have been held up and
not adopted.
Among politicians here the matter is
being discussed, and fears are felt as
to its influence on the coming elections
in the Northwest, and especially as to
Washington Territory. where the anti.
Chinese feeling rum high.
Judge Hepburn, Solicitor of the
Treasury, in discussing the question,
says: "Up to about two years ago
there was no question about the right
of the Chinese to pass through the
country in the manner suggested by
the decision, and now the old order will
be restored. The Southern Pacific
Railroad Company has been the chief
mover in the case. q Of its attorneys,

THE SENATORIAL question.

The Silver State says they are discus.
sing the Senatorial question in Western
Nevada. Some opposition to Senator
Jones is being developed in Washoe
county. Reno is a booming town, and,
as an inducement to moneyed Califor.
mans TO invest there, real estate agents
offer q chance for the United States SEN
atorship with every town lot they have
for sale. This seems to be tempting
bait. and according to report. one light.
headed but heavy-pursed Californian has
been caught with it, and others are nib.
bling at it, apparently fascinated with
it's glitter. Washoe county, therefore,
from present indications, will have a
California candidate for United States
Senator from Nevada next year, and he
will be backed by the crooked railroad
and the supporters Of the lottery scheme
of the last Legislature. That Senator
Jones is, in reality. the only United
States Senator from Nevada that actu-
ally maintained a residence in the State
during his term of Office, is to count for
naught against the Californian, who
seems to think that the deed to a town
lot in Reno makes him a bona fde resi-
dent Of the State, and that Q heavy bank
account entities him to represent It in
the Senate.

THE NoRrHwEsr COAST.

That great strides are being rapidly
made in and about Puget Sound and
vicinity there is no doubt, and San
Francisco must look to its laurels in re-
gard to trade. Her landed interests are
SO thoroughly fixed that no danger need
be anticipated, even if an exodus of her
citizens should take place such as oc.
Cured during the Frazer river excite
ment. That the Northwest will gain
from this time forward is a matter which
will admit Of no question, but her popu-
lation will come from Canada and the
States east of the Rocky Mountains.
The Canadian Pacific railroad is offering
inducements to settlers which will build
a principality in no time on the upper
| coast; in fact, little hamlets on the Sound
and in close proximity to British Colum
bia, that have laid dormant since each
location received a name, are coming tor.
ward in their claims for recognition.
Villages have become towns and the
latter cities with a rapidity only excelled
by settlement in our own West.
One mistake the British Government
is making, and that is the building Of
Notifications to deter her neighbors, the
citizens Of the United States, from en-.
tering into thorough commercial rela-
tions with her. The mistake is in the
future, as the millions who will occupy
the lands Of the United States inside Of
fifty years hence will simply scatter all
barriers OF steel and iron, or stone walls.
in their efforts to accomplish their mis-.
sion of commercial greatness. Great
Britain will exist, but will not be al
lowed to build barbados to drive back
commerce on American soil. II is USE
less to speculate on the sympathy that
should exist between America and En-
gland, for there is none extant. The
rivalry Of trade has placed America in
the background for the present, but the
day is fast drawing near when she will
come to the front, as she would have
been to-day only for the civil wal and
the means pursued by England to crush
her commerce.-Virginia Chronicle.

The Commissioner of the General
Land Office has made a very impor-
tant decision affecting those foreign
mining companies which acquired
title through their managers. In the
case referred to, says the Mining and
Scientific Press, the manager of a for
eign corporation applied for and Sc
cured a United States patent for a
mine. The mine was jumped and the
title was contested on the ground that
the manager had obtained the patent
tor the company. and a foreign corpor-
alton cannot enter land. This view is
held by the Commissioner, notwith-

SAN FRANCISCO, July 30.-The steamer
Dora arrived here last night and brings
the first detailed news Of the capture OF
the British sealer Black Diamond by the
United States revenue cutter Richard
Rush on July IL. The Rush overlook
the Black Diamond and ordered her to
heave to. The Captain of the Black
Diamond refused. Thereupon the com
mander Of the Rush ordered the lower.
ing Of ports and running out of the guns,
which caused the steamer to heave to.
Captain Sheppard and Lieutenant futile
boarded the English craft and asked for
her papers. The officers of the Black
Diamond offered no armed resistance,
but refused to deliver the ships papers.
Captain Sheppard broke open the cabin
and forced the hinges off the strong.box
and the Captains chest, thereby securing
the papers. A search Of the vessel dis.
closed l03 sealskins taken in Behring
Sea. Captain Sheppard placed a non
commissioned officer from the Rush
in charge OF the Black Diamond and or
dered the vessel to be taken to Sitka.
The Captain Of the Black Diamond made
the statement that when at Victoria he
had been ordered to pay no attention in
case he was overtaken by the Rush and
requested TO heave to. He said he would
not have surrendered if the Rush had
had an inferior force to that Of his own.

Proceeding upon this basis they noni-
mated HArrisou-s lifelong friend and
advocate Of the Chinese, and . friend
Of the railroad and other large eorpor-
atoms, at that-and they elected him,
the Pacific Coast giving its entire vote
for him.
This, in our opinion, settled the
Chinese question in favor Of the Chi
nese. We said 30 at the time, and an
uouuced that we were not going to
bother ourselves any more with anti
Chinese warfare in the face Of . pro

State; and we are not going to do 90.
We believe that the Harrison Admin
istrasion, at the behess Of the capital
lists who want slave labor, are preparing
to break down the Scott wall. and
that they believe they can do so with
out danger Of losing the vote OF the
Coast in 1892, and that, even il they
should lose it, the votes Of Montani

the margin they want. There is a pres

labor. The landlords, the syndicate'
and trusts, the big corporations, every
where want Chinese, not only because
they work for low wages themselves
but because they can be used to breal
down white mems wages and smash ul
the trades unions.
A time of peril approaches for the Ia
Dor interests Of this Coast. The men o
the trades unions are to blame for tn
fact. They had the Chinese question il
their hands nine months ago. B!
defeating Harrison, on account Of hi
Chinese record, they would have mad
their opinion respected and their setioI
feared on that issue, and no Administra
tion would have ever dared to tampe
with it. But they elected a pro-Chi

much better are they off for his protec
