VERY ENCOURAGING.
Chinese Enumeration and Free Coinage
Almost Certain.

WASHINGTON, April 13.-After consult
ing with Senators Hale and Berry, Con-
gresham Morrow, of California, is in
clined to believe that the Chinese Census
Enumeration bill will pass the Senate,
despite the strong opposition from East
ern religious bodies. The amendments
proposed by the Senate committee will
remain, he thinks, only modified so
much as to prevent any interfer-
ence with the Scott Exclusion
act. Judging from the express
sions made by various influential
Senators, any attempt to pass the bill as
it came from the House would meet
with it's certain defeat. 1t is the inten-
ton of Senator Hale to call up the meas
ure Immediately on the conclusion of the
Montana election case.
Senators Stewart, Jones, Mitchell and
Hearst, who are watching every move
made by the gold men closely, express
themselves as being confident that some
thing very near free coinage will be the
result of the work this session.

PLEASANT VALLEY, N. j., April 49,
This afternoon the most destructive
forest fire in the last fifteen years, broke
out in the northern part of town. The
fire rapidly spread, and in less than an
hour was over three miles wide and
about five long. Several detached
houses, as well as the whole town of
Pleasant Valley is in danger. BY
O'Clock over $25, 900 worth of timber was
laid low. Large gangs of men who at
tempted to fight the fire had to stand
back owing to the intense heat. All
evening the fire continued to work its
way towards town. At midnight from a
rough estimate, the loss of property will
reach 200 or 100000. An hour pre-.
vious to this time runner arrived who
stated that the fire was at it's highest.
Several houses which stood back in the
pines have been burned. For over two
hours Pleasant Valley has been lighted
up as bright as day by the flames. If
the fire is not checked before morning it
is feared it will reach town. The roar
ing of the flames can be heard many
miles.

CHICAGO, April ia London paper
prints this morning two columns OF the
report Of Jessie Spaulding, one OF the
Government directors of the Union
Pacific, to Secretary Noble, in
which he says that the Union Pa
cifc at the present time is being
wisely and proftably managed. As
property it is far more valuable than
five years ago. Spaulding says the
growth of the whole West is due in
great measure to the road and its
branches. The report, in part, says;
'It can't pay the $52,O0O,000 or SO,
which it owes the Government at this
time, but it is able to offer security equal
to $34, 100000 more than the Govern
ment holds now for its Indebtedness. 1t
asks an extension of time and a lower
rate of interest, both of which the Gov
ernment can afford to grant rather than
see the property imperiled, for to imperil
it would threaten the financial ruin of
thousands of people who have invested
money in the enterprise; and more than
that, the probable impoverishment of
hundreds OF thousands who have settled
upon its lines during recent years, and
whose interests are SO closely woven with
the prosperity of the road, that they
cannot be separated. The question re-
solves itself down to this: What is
best, not so much for the Union Pacific
Railway Company, as corpora
ton, but for the country at large?
1t seems to me there can be but one
answer to this: Let Congress deal as
fairly with the Union Pacific as a busi-
ness man would with creditor who
was willing and able to pay his debts if
he were only permitted to attend to his
business without interference or embar-
rassment"

Shoes Already Begun.
PHILADELPHIA, April 13.-The news of
the death of Randall was received with
sorrow by his many friends in this city,
although not at all unexpected. Flags
are half-masted on many prominent
buildings. Political gossip is already
rife. There will likely be bitter strug-
gle among the Democratic leaders of this
city for the control of the convention
which will name Randall's successor.
The district is Democratic, but the fight
now in prospect may result in the cleo
ton of Republican. The only avowed
candidate yet is State Senator McAteer,
who has been fighting Randali's friends
all his life. Hall dozen candidates
will be in the field against him as soon
as the funeral is over, if not before.
