Battle Creeks Mayor on Water
Works, Etc,

Mayor Bailey of Battle Creek in his in
augural last week, said: ''Our citizens feel
proud of our system of water works." Then
he proceeds to add this regarding sewerage:
"Sewers must necessarily follow water
works. Water works without them, after
short time, become menace to the health
of community. The history of other
cities show that unless we have sewers it
would be far better that we dispense with
the water works. Already the effects have
been shown by sickness and an increase of
death rates.

ANOTHER BLOW.
A Federal Judge Of Texas Strikes at lhe
Chinese Exclusion Act.

WASHINGTON, Dec. 22.-For some time
past 1t has been the practice of the Treasury
department TO return TO China at the Gov
erDments expense all Chinese laborers con-
Vlcted OF entering our territory in violation
OF the Exclusion Act. This applied TO
Cinnamon smuggled over the Mexican and
Canadian borders as well as those coming
direct from China. a recent decision by
Judge Maxey of the United States District
Court for the Western District of Texas,
however, will. if sustained, conf ell a
material modification of this practice. 1t is.
IN effect. that the Government has no right
under the law to send to China Chinese
laborers who enter the United States from
contiguous countries unless evidence is pro-
duced that they came from China: or, in
other words, that the language of the
law authorizing their return to tn
country whence they came should
IN such cases be construed to mean
the contiguous country and not
China. In the case in question two China
men, who had been convicted before the
United States Commissioner of unlawfully
entering the United States from Mexico,
were ordered TO be deported to China at
the Goyernments expense. Their counsel
applied 10 Judge Maxey for a writ of habeas
corpus, and after hearing the evidence he
ordered their release from custody on the
ground that the Commissioner had exceeded
bis authority III ordering them sent to
China. he held that they could lawfully be
sent TO Mexico, and nowhere else. Reports
from special Treasury agents are to tile
effect that the adoption of the course sug-
gested by the court would afford no relief
whatever, as the Cinnamon returned to
Mexico would remain in the vicinity and
come back INTO our territory at the first op-
portunity. Secretary Window and Assist
ant Secretary Spalding are considering the
matter.

PRESIDENTIAL CANDIDATES.
Result Of a Canvass by The Eastern and
Western Agricultural Press.

SPRINGFIELD (MaSs.) Dec 22-The elab-
oratcly planned canvass to ascertain the
opinions OF farmers throughout the country
on certain questions has been conducted on
an extensive scale for the past three months
by the agricultural press of Springfield, in
connection with other farming journals
West and East. Nearly 110,000 cards have
been received in answer. The questions
were on certain practical, economic and po-
litcal issues, including ideas on tariff, Gov
ernment ownership of railroads, telegraphs,
etc. The final question was who should be
the Republican and Democratic nominees
for the Presidency in 1892. The answers
have been fully tabulated only SO far as they
relate 10 this last question, but enough has
been done to show that Federal aid to agri-
ricultural education and the teaching of ag-
rlcu ltural science in rural public schools are
overwhelmingly indorsed. The sentiment
regarding the Government ownership of
railroads is quite evenly divided. Many
who vote against such ownership insist on
Government supervision and full control of
railroads. The views expressed as to the
new tariff law, reciprocity and the proposed
modification of the national land policy are
so diverse that it will be some days before
they are classified. In reference to the vote
for Presidential candidates, it is explained
that journals interested interpreted the No
vember elections as meaning that the farm
ers were weary OF old favOrites and old
measures and demanded new men and new
issues. These journals, therefore. advo-
Gated Secretary Rusk and Congressman
Hatch as proper Republican and Demo-
cratic standard-bearers fer 1892. In spite
of this, however. the farmers expressed
their preference fur Presidential candidates
in the following manner:

Return Of the New Cruiser From a Successful
Tr a. Trim

ueIurn OF the new Crnlser From successful
TT al Trip.
DELAWARE BREAKwATER, Dec. 22-
The cruiser Newark this evening returned
from her trial trip, having successfully
maintained her horsepower and speed for
four hours. Unofficially, it is understood
the Newark exceeded 5000 horsepower,
which will give the Cramps $4,000 pre-
MUM. She averaged in speed nineteen and
SiX-tenthS knots per hour.
Shortly after starting it was discovered
the ship was passing over shoal. causing
her to drag and consequent lessening of
the speed of the screws. This lasted only
few minutes, but 1t was decided to run
half an hour longer, so as TO give
thoroughly fair trial. The bay was perfect,
with the breeze blowing sufficiently strong
to produce white caps. For the purpose of
accurately determining the horsepower of
the main engines the trial of four hours was
divided into sixteen parts of fifteen minutes
each. During the whole run there was not
a mishap, the engines averaging about 127
revolutions minute. Notwithstanding the
extraordinary heat generated in the fur
naces the maximum temperature of the
engine-rooms was but 104o The afternoon
was devoted to testing the Quickness with
which the ship could be stopped and
backed while travelling at full speed, and
also to show her steering and turning capa-
bllties. complete turn was mude in four
minutes and forty-fve seconds. One minute
and thIrty-hve seconds covered the time from
going ahead at fun speed to going astern
at full speed. The latter movement,
ordinarily great strain upon the engines,
was accomplished without even starting a
rivet After the turning trial the ship
steamed back to Delaware Bay and anchored
inside the breakwater. The naval officers
on board are very enthusiastic In praise of
the Newark. and declare that she Is one of
the finest, If not tie most stable ship yet

Hoar's Motion for an Evening SESSION Lost

WASHINGTON, Dec. %. = The small at
tendance of Senators this morning attracted
the attention of the Democrats and Harris
demaBded call Of the roll, and as twelve
less than quorum responded to the CALL
the Sergeant t-at-Arms was directed to request
the presence of the absent members. In
the course Of half an hour a quorum ap-
peared.
The bill 10 establish Record and PEN
sion Office at the War Department passed.
The conference report on the Sioux Res
ervation Bill was adopted.
Cullom, by request, introduced bill TO
incorporate the Pan-American Transporta-
ton Company. Referred.
Hoar gave notice that he would ut 8 80
o'clock this afternoon ask the Senate to take
recess until o'clock.
The House amendment to the Senate
amendment to the Urgent Deficiency Bill,
striking out the appropriation for the pay
OF clerks OF Senators, was nOn-concurred in.
In tne conference report on Public Build
ing bills, the one to authorize the cOnstruc-
tion ot building at Stockton. Cal, as agreed
upon in the conference, was left as it came
from the House, which struck out the clause
making the appropriation.
The discussien n of the Elections Bill was
resumed, Higgins taking the floor. COM
mentlng ON Stewards opposition to it he
said that the Senator's objections were not
that 1t had faults, but that ii did not have
faults; not that it was force bill, but that
1t was not force bill. He discussed at
great length the management of elections in
various States to show the necessity for the
reform proposed in the pending measure.
AS to the claim Of Southern Senators that
they could hot endure negro domination,
higgins believed there never was day
when the Southern white leaders could not
have had the hearty support and follow
ing OF the black men Of the South for
the asking. He had always considered
hat the one great service the Democratic
party had rendered was its corralling and
bringing into its fold all the people who
were least witted to discharging the func.
tions OF American citizens; and why, he
asked, had not the Southern white Demo-
Gratis done the same with the blacks?
Reagan replied that the reason was that
in the reconstruction period the carpet-bag-
gers made the blacks believe the whites
were their enemies, and arrayed the blacks
In an oath-b0und league to vote the Repub-
lican ticket.
Higgins denied that the problem of man
hood suffrage ever had a chance at the
South. The pending bill was moderate,
necessary and just. 1t would bring no more
violence than exists at present. If it did,
the Senators could not help 1t. They could
not take the responsibility Of refusing to do
flgnt because Others would do wrong.
Vo0rhees opposed the bill. The opening
