The Attitude Of the Pacific Coast Assailed in
the Eastern States.
NEW YORK, July "a tirst-class raid
against Chinese exclusion seems to be on
foot throughout the East A fraudulent
interview with the Chinese Minister on the
subject is being made the excuse for attacks
on California and the Pacific Coast gener-
ally on account of its attitude on the
Chinese question. Colonel Bee succeeds in
having his special plea for Chinese printed
in the World through the agency of a tele-
graphic correspondent in San Francisco.
Wharton Barker, who was engaged with
Count AitkiewitcZ in securing alleged great
concessions from China for a Philadelphia
syndicate, also appears in a lengthy article
to abuse the restriction acts. The majority

The Speaker declared quorum present,
and then Mcmillan moved reconsidera-
ton. The vote on tabling the motion to
reconsider resulted: Ayes 104, noes 80, the
Speaker counting, through the clerk, a
quorum, and declaring the motion carried.
Breckenridge (Kentucky) challenged the
correctness of the count, instancing the
names of Enloe, Herbert, Grain and Fithian,
and stating they were not present. Suisse
quently he withdrew his challenge to the
names of Grain and Fithian but persevered
so far as Enloe and Herbert were concerned.
The Speaker, admitting the necessity for
absolute correctness. said that in the record
those members were present and voting;
but even eliminating the names of Enloe
and Herbert, there was quorum present.
He therefore declared the motion to table
carried, and put the question on agreeing

THE HOUSE.
The Diplomatic and Consular Appropriation
Bill Fails to Pass.

Bill Fails to Pass.
WASHINGTON, July 9.-In the House this
morning Hit of Illinois, from the Commit
tee on Foreign Affairs, reported back the
resolution requesting the President to fur
nish the House with the correspondence be-
tween the Government of the United States
and Great Britain, touching the subjects in
dispute in Behring Sea since March 4, 1889
After some debate the resolution was
adopted.
Hit presented the Conference report on
the Diplomatic and Consular Appropriation
Bill. In the course of the discussion that
followed, reference having been made to the
appropriation made by the last bill for the
protection of United States rights in Samoa,
MoMillin CTennessee) declared it now ap-
peared that the entire result of the Samoan
negotiations had been to enthroDe King
who had been dethroned by his people.
Our representatives, sent abroad for the
purpose OF settling Samoan matters, had
actually gone to the extent OF overriding
the will Of the people Of Samoa and setting
up as King scapegrace who had been de-
throned; and moreover, this American Ad-
ministration had undertaken to pay part OF
the expenses of his kingdom. 1t was dis
grace to the American people and to the
Administration responsible for the neg0tia-
tiOns.
McCreary of Kentucky, who was Chair
man of the Committee on Foreign Affairs
in the last Congress, said he believed we
had done the best that could be done, and
McMilin was putting 1t too strongly. IL
he was not satisfied with the negotiations
he could introduce bill to carry out his
views, or he could call for the correspond
ence with foreign nations. There was not
word about Samoa in the present bill.
McMillin-The gentleman has admitted
taking up the deposed King and placing
him on the throne. Was there not another
agreement that Chief Justice should be
appointed and the governments of the
United States and Great Britain and Ger-
many jointly guarantee his salary?
McCreary-The gentleman states it too
strongly. The Samoan question has moth
ing to do with this appropriation bill.
Hit demanded the previous question, de-
clining to yield to McMiilin, who was de-
sirous Of continuing the Samoan contro-
versy.
Thereupon McMillin raised the point of

ST. PAUL, July 9.-General Passenger
Agent Fee Of the Northern Pacific Railroad
to-day received message from Manager
Waters of the Yellowstone National Park
regarding the bursting out of the new
crater geyser yesterday. 1t Quieted down
somewhat during last night. At half-past

column of steam forced up constantly to a
height of from $50 to 175 feet, and about
seventy-fve feet in diameter. The
roaring had snbslded considerably: The
Crater" geyser. Tie old hole is enlarged
to width of about eight feet and new
hole is visible about six feet from the old
one, which is about eight by twelve feet.
Very little water, however, is coming out
of 1t. All the pine trees III the neighbOr-
hood are covered with thick sediment.
Present appearances seem to indicate that
the geyser will go down considerably soon.

ENGLAND AND AMERICA.
The Bonds of Union Between the United
States and Great Britain.

BALTIMORE. July 9.-Lord Wolseley, in
letter received in this city, writes: THE
closer the bonds of union between mother
and child-England and the United States
the better it will be for both, and our race,
and, indeed, for civilization. Those who
rant about causes of quarrel between us
are no friends to either nation or to human
ity. There must never be war between US,
no matter how much either or both may be
egged on by those who hate the En-
glish race, and would. therefore, like to see
us at one another's throats. We feel quite
as proud of the United States as any OF its
people can be. Its honor and its reputa-
tion are as dear to us as they can be to those
on the other side of the Atlantic, and / re-
joice above all things to think that this mu-
tual respect we have always had for one
another is now maturing into sincere and
mutual affection"

WASHINGTON, July 9-The President to-
day returned to the House without his ap-
proval the bill extending the time of pay
ment to the purchasers of the land Of the
Omaha tribe ofIndians in Nebraska. The
President in the veto says: "There IS no
objection that know Of either on the part
of the United States or the indians to the
extension of unpaid installments due from

due to the purchasers" The President, how
ever, objects to the provision that all

shall be subject to taxation by the State Of
