QUONG LEES REQUEST.
Admission of His Wife and Children Re-
fused.

WASHINGTON, March 26.--Quong Lee
a Chinese laundryman of Plattsmouth
Neb., asked the Treasury department
whether he can send to China for his
wife and children. He says he intends
to become citizen of the United States
and intimates that he is wealthy. In
reply, Assistant Secretary Tichenor saws
his occupation as laundryman does
not exclude him from the class of labor
ers, and that he cannot claim immunity
for his relatives from the Chinese re-
striction act by reason of his intention to
become citizen of the United States,
since the law prohibits the admission OF
any Chinese to citizenship. His wife
and children cannot be admitted other
wise than upon the production OF GER
tificate from the Chinese government
declaring them persons other than la
borers. =

Baker, of New York, submitted argu-
ment in support of the measure.

because he believed there were gross
irregularities in the adoption OF the con-
stitution of Wyoming; because he be-
lieved the Territory did not contain the
population requisite, and because there
was incorporated in the constitution

THE MEAT INSPECTION Law

The Meat Inspection Law providing for
the inspection of all fresh meats offered for
sale over one hundred miles from where
they are butchered, provided that as many
as twenty citizens ask for it, which goes
into effect tomorrow, has created more
general and excited opposition in the cities
of Virginia than any law passed by the
legislature for many years. One objection
urged to it is that it creates fat offices for
which the people will have to pay in the
end by an increase of the price of meat.
Another is that it's operation inside the
S ate is advantageous for instance
beef slaughtered at Staunton and sent to
any point in Virginia a hundred miles dis
tant would have to pay the tax of one cent
a pound for inspection. The fact that it
imposes tax ON the products of another
State, it is thought, will cause it to be set
aside as unconstitutional when it is brought
before the Federal courts, just as the laws
Of Minnesota and other Western States
taxing beef not inspected ION the hoof y in
the State, were. 1t is said, however, that
this Virginia law was drafted IN accof-
dance with the decision of the United
States Supreme Court in the celebrated
Louisiana slaughter-house cases, where the
State law was sustained. On Wednesday
the Senate voted unanimously to repeal
it, and bill to that effect has been intro
Ouced in the House.

| by the Pridcipa! Of the Institution, Capt.
I. S. Doyle; the idea that any enc would be
refused admittance there who could be
taken in, is absurd. He has sent agents all
over the State to hunt out the blind and
deaf-mute children; teachers in the Insti-
tuition have spent their vacations canvass
Ing the State for pupils and i'll informing
the parents of afflicted children of their
rights in the matter of having admission
for them there. Last September these eff
bringing to the Institution all it could &C
commodate. A full school means much
more to the health Of the children than the
mere fact that all the accommodation is
taken up. It means that the air space is
| fully used up, and it means danger if more
| children are put in. 1t is an already eX
| listing fact that there is just about one hal
| the cubic feet Of air il the domitories ther
that the rules Of health require. The lii
stitution was full in September, with a pvi-
pill waiting fora vacancy to occur, whe
the application Of Miss Parkinson Of ChaI
lotte. was made in tie month Of November
The application was of course rejected.
Then on January 2)th, came a letter from
she be taken, coupled with the statemen
that he was a member of the Finance Com.
mittee Of the Senate and while always in
favor of liberal appropriations to the D..
d. & B. Institution, wanted to see his own
district represented. He was written to Oh
January 9th, by the Principal, giving him
| the exact state of the matter. His
remarkable reply to this was a speech
in the Senate, speaking Of the CASE
of Miss Parkinson as if the hard
ship OF it had not resulted from the neglect
of her parents years ago, (for she will be q
| years Of age in a brief space and ineligible
to admission at the Institution, and as if il
was theresult of an indisposition on the part
of the head of the school to admit her. He
spoke in his speech of having ''reforms il
the institutions" This is a fair sample OF
some of the assaults on the State institu,
lions. Had there been nobody toreply tt
| the Senator, as MI. Echols most happily
did. the impression that would have gone
abroad would have been most unfavorable
to the impartiality Of the management, and
MI. Woods and his reforms would have
been taken by the people in earnest. AS il
is they have an opportunity to measure
both. 1t is a fact patent to every one
who knows anything about the D., D. & B
Institution, that MI. Doyle has been I'M
ceasing in his efforts to fulfill the inten.
ton Of the State in its establishment-tha
is to make it school for every afflicted chic
in the Commonwealth has brought
them in from every quarter of the State
When the State is able to enlarge the build
ings for greater accommodations large
number will be accommodated, but it cam
be done till then.

CHICAGO GETS 1T.

The House OF Representatives On Monday,
on the eighth ballot decided on Chicago as
the site for the World s Fair in 1892. On
the first ballot the Virginia delegation
unbelievable for New York; Wise for
st. Louis, and Bowden, Browne, Buchanan,
Edmunds, Lee, Lester, O'Ferrall and
Tucker for Washington. On the last bal
lot Bowden, Browne, Lee, Lester and
O'Ferrall voted for Washington; Venable,
Wise, Tucker, Edmunds and Buchanan for
New York.
If the Senate prove of the same mind as
the House, Chicago, the great city of the
Northwest, has the World s Fair. 1t is a
big and costly thing to handle, but the
American people think Chicago will give
the country an example of American en-
terprise never reached by New York OF
Philadelphia in their EXpositions. The
selection Of Chicago shows that the sceptre
has departed from New York and the great
cities Of the East.

Arpoc

The story Of a widow of half marriage
night was the sensation of the city OF
Brainerd, MIMI, last Friday morning. The
night before was the time set for the mar
rage Of Miss Lille Dean, daughter of a
North Side widow, to J. B. Timer. The
latter was yard train clerk of the North
ern Pacific. The ceremony was performed
about 8 clock, and after an evening spent
in the usual felicitous manner with guests
and friends the twain said good night and
retired. A telegram says:
Another couple, who had been bridesmaid
and groomsman to the happy couple, were
just retiring when there was a wild scream
in the chamber above to which the bridal
pair had retired. Again and again the cry
was repeated, with hurry Of soft feet over
head, and then a rush Of a female figure
down the stairway, with means and calls
fearful to be heard and never to be forgo5-
| ten. Then open flew the stair door, and
there was the bride, who but short time
before was so radiant in snowy bridal-night
raiment. She sprang through the door and
fell almost into the arms of her sister
bridesmaid, 30, God! go quick! Jimmy
is dead! Jimmy is dead!' was all they
could understand of the mournful cries she
uttered, as she sWOoned i'll her sister S arms.
From various chambers swarmed members
OF the family and guests not yet departed,
all filled with CONSERVATION, surrounding
the stricken form.
When the groomsman started to lead the
way to the bridal chamber above, the girl
revived, sprang to the hallway and, taking
the lamp in her hand, led the way. 1t was
a small room. The bridal chamber was
Weirdly lighted by a lamp turned only part
ly up. The bride, with her hair wildly
streaming, threw herself upon an inanimate
form upon the bed
No response was made to her endearing
calls OF to efforts begun by those now sur
rounding to bring him to life. The groom
was dead. He seemed in a natural sleep,
all efforts to restore him were not discOn-
tinued pending the arrival of physicians
sent for, but even under every effort at
restoration the body grew into the stark
stiff signs of death.
Then the stricken bride. who lin
gered still in her night robes, was removed
from her dead. Dr.. Groves, the surgeon
summoned, stated that death had resulted
from paralysis of the heart, probably the
result OF nervous strain OF shock coming
upon weakened heart. 1t seems that
about Christmas time the deceased was
taken with In grippe, and although he had
been confined to the house but short time
had not fully recovered.
The stricken bride, in giving an account
of the affair, said that it was exactly II
O'Clock when she and her newly-made hus-
hand went up stairs, saying E'good-night' y
and ''good-bye."
''When at last we were alone" she said,
'sJames was only usually fond and en-
dearing. When our night toilets were pre-
pared and we retired he kissed me and said
Goodnight, turning to one side from me. |

A Richmond correspondent writes to his
paper the following reference to the debate
in the legislature, on a bill touching the
public Institutions of the State:
1.-The speeches were very guarded and the
cropping out of these few acts created quite a
sensation. There are evidently many facts
near the surface that efforts are being made to
keep UNDER
The easy, dippant way in which news
paper correspondents throw out such para
graphs as the above, in which by the bye
the writer's only follow very bad and reck-
less example set them by legislators in bun
combe speeches, is a harmful practice which
should he discontinued. The men at the
head Of, and the men who are Under them, in
the State institutions of Virginia, are men
OF character to whom reputation is equally
as dear as 1T can be to any member of the
legislature. That there is nothing in these
lnslnuatlons is evidenced by the fact that
they are dropped after having served their
purpose-to tickle the popular curiosity. If
there was anything wrong in the institu-
lions referred to, the legislature ought to
appoint investigating committees and hunt
out the offence and the offender. Less than
this is not doing their full duty to the Com
monwealth. Less than this is short of
justice to the heads of the institutions to
which public attention is directed. These
howlers for reform should have committee
and get their reform-or failing in that, let
the world have official knowledge of the fact
that there is as little i'll the accusers as
there is in the accusation.
A good Illustration of how some of these
reformers set to work, is shown in the ac-
count We publish elsewhere of a debate in
the Senate over an application of a blind
gill for admission to the Institution here.
