Mr.. Bird closed the argument Witn
respect to the Norfolk business, he SAID
the scope of the inquiry was narrow
one. The discrimination was admitted
but put upon the ground Of water compe-
tition. The steamboats,, before the rail
road came, were able to transact all the
business. end to do it satisfactorily to the
shippers. Since the railroad made its
advent there had been constant dissatis-
faction. and this would probably continue
50 long as the railroad insisted upon dis
eliminating in favor of Norfolk. The
railroad tried to induce the steamship
companies to pool with them on the basis
Of giving the road so per cent, but this
effort was unsuccessful. The railroad
rates were below the cost of doing the
Norfolk business, aud this must be taken
as admitted, because otherwise they
would practically confess that the rates
from the Peninsula were exhorbitant.
The case was submitted, and the com.
missioners announced that the fact that
the matter had been finally submitted tc
them for decision need not deter the con
testants from comforting and compromis
ing their differences If they chose to do so

LECTURE ON CHINESE.
a Young Cinnamon Speaks of His coun-
trymen and Asks for Their Rights.


Guy Maine, the manager Of the Chinese
Evangelists of New York. lectured on
"What shall we do with the Chinese?" in
Hanover Church last evening to a large
audience He spoke exclusively on the
restriction Of the Chinese from the United
States. He said in part:
The United States on November II.
1870, signed friendly treaty
with China and in 1882
passed bill restricting the
Chinese from the United States for ten
years. Now they have passed bill
restricting them altogether. The people
have for a half century been sending
missionaries to promote the cause Of re-
ligious progress and civilization, and il
they are worthy Of this trouble why are
they not permitted TO become citizens Of
the United Statesg He spoke Of the
laboring qualities OF the Chinaman, and
argued that they come to this country to
earn an honest living, and if permitted
TO become citizens Of the United States
would adopt the American mode Of life.
He said that the Chinese had been perse.
cuted In almost every mentionable way
AS for the opium habit. England was
responsible for that. as she receives
$4,000, 600 per year for opium. China
800 years ago, was the most civilized
country in the world, but she has fallen
behind. She is the only country having
complete history for 1900 years
He then referred to the energy
and enterprise Of his country
men, He thought they would make
better citizens than Indians. The Chinese
government felt the unfriendly action of
/ the United States in passing an act re-
stricting them from coming here, while
giving so many privileges to other ma
tions. He recalled the work of the mis-
sionaries and said that If the American
people thought that the Chinese had
souls, and were good enough to inherit
the Kingdom Of Heaven, why We're they
not good enough for citizens of the
United States. He asked that the people
must considered this great question and
look upon it from the proper standpoint,
and then addressed his fellow country
men, Of whom quite number were pres
ent, in his native tongue
