WASHINGTON, Jan. 13.-Ex-Presi-
ident Cleveland either expects to re-
turn to Washington to live or he con
siders Washington real estate the best
investment for his money, or both. He
has just purchased several lots near
the suburban residence, which he still
owns here and where he spent the
greater part of his time when Presi-
dent. Mrs. Cleveland, in writing to
friends here, constantly speaks OF
when she will return to Washington
to live. All of which may or may not
have a political meaning.

The following bills of Importance
were introduced into the House to-
day
By Mr.. Cummings, a joint resolu-
ton for the erection of q statue to the

The joint resolution was read as fol-
lows:
@Resolved, That there be appropriat.
ed from the treasury of the United
States the sum of $4,000 to erect a
bronze statue of the late Samuel J,

a tablet at the front base of said statue
there shall be conspicuously engraved

Nineteenth President of the United
States but Not Seated.
Applause on the democratic side.
That on the right of the square base
shall be engraved the date of birth,
election and death of such President,
and that on the opposite side shall be
engraved an eagle with snake in his
talents, and under them these words
For the Right
By Mr.. Struble, for the admission
of Wyoming and Idaho into the Union.
By Mr.. Anderson, to declare the
duties, enforce the obligations and
regulate the service of railroad COM
panies as carriers of interstate COM
merce; also for the control and regula
ton of railroads acquired by the I'm
tied States under judicial foreclosure
or by forfeiture, also, to prevent con-
traction of the currency by the with
drawl of national bank notes from
circulation.
By Mr.. Circuit, a bill to aid in the
establishment and temporary support
of common schools, similar in scope to
the Blair bill; and providing for an
nual appropriations ranging from five
million to fifteen million dollars for
eight years, to be distributed on the
basis of illiteracy.
I By Mr.. Stewart, bill declaring
that no Mormon shall be eligible to
voice at any election or hold civil
office in the Territories of the United
States or be natuI allied as citizen OF
the United States, or settle or file upon
any public lands. Voters are requir-
ed to make oath that they do not be-
long to the Mormon Church as a pre-
liminary to exercising the right OF
suffrage.
New York, Chicago, St. Louis and
Washington have all made their
strongest arguments before the Senate
committee on the Worlds Fair, and
now the committee will get down to
work. 1t is not thought that the COM
mittee of either House or Senate will
recommend a city for the location OF
the Fair. 1t will be easier to settle
that question by vote of the two
Houses. What they will do will be
to report bill embodying the best
points of the several measures intro
duced providing for the Fair. The
feeling between the representatives OF
the rival cities has been, and is the
very best. All are prepared to hur.
rah for the winner and to take of
their coats and work to make it the
greatest Worlds Fair ever held.

In the Senate to-day Mr.. Mitchell
introduced a bill to prohibit the com.
ing of Chinese into the United States,
whether subjects of the Chinese EN-.
pire or otherwise. Those who are
now within the limits of the United
States, and who may hereafter leave
and attempt to return are also exclud-
ed. Suitable penalties for infringe
ment of the law are provided. The
bill provides that only officials of the
Chinese empire shall be entitled to en-
ter the United States; and they shall
first obtain permission of and be iden-
titled by their government. It also
provides that any Chinese person who
has landed unlawfully in the United
States shall be removed at the cost OF
the government.

Senator Voorhees, resolution, upon
which he made . speech last Wednes
day, has been answered by the Attor-
ney- General. He denies that any
instruction, written or oral, has been
given by the Department of Justice
to District Attorney Chalmers, of In
diana, in reference to the arrest Of
w. w. Dudley. Mr.. VOORHEES, now
wants to know why Mr.. Harrison does
not remove District Attorney Chal-
mers, if he is not in sympathy with
the recent illegal action Of that Off
cial.

The impression is growing among
democrats that trickery is being prac-
ticed by the republican members Of
the House Committee on Rules. 1t
has been given out that the republi-
cans of the committee could not
agree and that was the reason for the
unprecedented delay in reporting the
