sGoIdcn Rules for Dinner.

A gentleman who, since the death of
Sam Ward, has rather posed as the
principal epicure of New York, remarked
the other day that there were two golden
rules to be observed in getting a dinner
-one was to keep the temperature of
the dining room below sixty, and the
other was to have the claret and Bur-
gundy exactly blood warm and the
champagne chilled without being dead
cold or frozen. An over-heated dining
room will render any dinner heavy and
indigestible, and. is the cause Of extreme
fatigue and lassitude. The same author
ity remarked that smelts should never
be fried, but split open, laid ON broiler
and served with butter.
There are few good rules" he said,
"that can be followed, but in the main,
cooking cannot be made the subject of
cast iron directions. In the matter of
steak, it. should never be lost sight of
that the true flavor of broiled steak
must be spoiled if coal fire is used.
There are certain fumes of gas in coal
which contribute to its combustion, and
these gases penetrate the meat. 1t is
not apparent TO an average eater, but to
refined palate it is apparent at once.
On the other hand, charcoal fire gives
a heat without any of the gases, and the
pure juice of the steak is in no sense
polluted. A. T. Stewart, who always ate
a bit of steak or chops at the elaborate
dinners that were served to his guests,
and confined himself to this simple piece
of meat, had learned the great efficacy
and JOY of charcoaB and during the lat
ter years of his life he never ate any
steak that had been prepared over Goals.

A prisoners pension law is among
the vicious propositions OF the present
Congress, although existing pension laws
amply provide for the soldiers suffering
from any cause due to their service,
whether their disabilities were incurred
in Southern prisons or not. The pro

mania to pension everybody that pos
sesses certain Congressman at this sea-
son of the year, but fortunately there
are other Congressman who are not
given to mock heroics. One such is

Last Hearing on the Chinese
Census Bill.
Pacific Coast congressman Do
Their Duty.
Mr.. Clunie States the Situation in
Nutshell.
Light Day in Congress-Information on
the Working of the Exclusion
Act Called For.
Associated Press Dispatches. |

WASHINGTON, March 2S.-The Senate
hearing on the Chinese Census BILL a
delegation from the Pacific Coast appear
ing to support the measure. Morrow, Of
California, the author of the bill, stated
that legislation was necessary to keep
out Chinese merchants as well as labor
ers. There was no business inducement
to bring them, now that the immigration
OF laborers was shut off. There were
enough Of them, and the fact is genuine
Chinese merchant had not come to San
Francisco the past ten years. AS long as
merchants were allowed to come and go
at will, with or without certificates, the
undesirable classes cannot be controlled.
McKenna said the only question was ):
Will you pursue the policy which led to
the passage of the Scott act? This bill
concludes that policy it is the effort of
a nation to protect itself against the
people of nation which it believes will
injure it.
Biggs stated that the people of Cali
fornia demanded the passage OF the bill.
Clunie said the present situation is
struggle between Americans and Chi
nese. The American is here to rear his
family, serve his country and worship
God. The Chinaman is here only for
gain, to carry away money and deplete
the wealth of the country. In the con-
test under these conditions the China
man has proved himself superior to the
American.
Senator Mitchell said he believed the
bill would be construed by the courts to
apply to Chinese only, who were in the
United States the 1st of June. He
would it were otherwise, SO the act
should be an absolute exclusion law.
The law in his opinion was constitu-
tional.

Treasury Department for information as

rested in Rome.
New YORK, March 2S.-A cable from
Rome says: The Americans in Rome are
wild with anger, over an outrageous in
cident. The wife of wealthy Califor-
nian, who is living at the Hotel Royal,
went into the store of Fernando Digio-
vanni to examine some coral and shell or
naments. She was accompanied by her
daughter and two other American ladies'
After looking over various trifes offered
for sale, they were in the act of leaving,
when the merchant claimed he missed
some petty ornament, and made great
outcry The ladies were indignant at
the idea of being suspected of being
thieves, but Digiovanni called the police
and had all the party taken through the
streets to the police station. Here the
ladies burst into tears and protested
against the disgrace brought upon them
without the slightest proof. Consul
General Bourn heard of the matter, and
in half an hour Vice-Consul Wood was
at the station. A committee of Amer
ican gentlemen hurried down from the
hotel to the Quirinal to assist in the
work of extricating the ladies from their
humiliating position. In the meantime
Digiova mi had signed the accusation.
Then he was joined by a friend, who also
keeps store, and who thought he re-
membered seeing the ladies in his estab-
lishment just before something had dis
appeared. When the merchants learned
that they were accusing people OF high
position and wealth, they withdrew
their charges and signed an apology.
