CHINESE EXCLUSION.
Senator Dolph Tries to Steal Represen
tative Geary's Thunder.

Senator Dolph Tries to Steal Represen-
tative Geary's Thunder.
WASHINGTON, April 7.-Senator Dolph
was asked last evening what action the
foreign relations committee had taken
on the Geary Chinese bill. Dolph
answered that the committee had not
met, as Chairman Sherman had left the
capitol without calling the committee to
a meeting.
"The senate cannot be hurried in this
matter" he added. ''It has already
passed Chinese bill and had right
to expect the house to amend that bill
and pass it so as to secure an immediate
conference, instead of which it passes
the Geary bill, which comes into
the senate as new bill, which
must be referred, reported, go
on the calendar and then take
it's chances. 1 am moved to the belief
that Geary did not want any Chinese
legislation this session, or else he is
striving to make political capital. If he
wanted to expedite matters, why did he
not, when the senate bill reached the
house, strike out all but the enacting
clause, and amend by inserting the pro-
visions of his own bill? That is fre-
quently done. If it had been done in
this instance, we might have been in
conference on it today. Now it is inn
possible to say when the senate will
act, having silver, tariff, appropriations
and other important matters to take up
its time"
After leaving Dolph, the correspond
ent called upon Geary and asked him if
he had any reply to make to Dolph's
charges. Geary expressed surprise that
Dolph should make such statements in
view of the record of both houses in
this regard. "The facts are," said
Geary, "that my bill has been reported
favorably by the foreign affairs commit
tee of the house, and placed upon its
final passage, fully two weeks before
Dolph's bill was received from the SEN
ate. With my bill so advanced, there
was no obligation of precedence or ex-
pediency requiring me to sacrifice my
bill and amend Dolph's. To be sure,
that would have given Dolph's name to
the bill, which would have carried my
provisions, but we are not required to
make capital for Republican senators.
There is another point: Two weeks
after my bill was on the house calendar
Dolph rushed his bill through the SEN
ate, and the record shows that neither
of the California senators opened his
mouth on, the subject. Why did they
not amend the Dolph bill? They knew
it was not what the people of California
wanted, for it only extended for ten
years the present notoriously imperfect
bill. The truth is that when it was
found that the Democratic house was
about to pass rigid exclusion act, the
order went out in the senate to rush
through, without debate or amendment,
Republican bill, known to be what
was not wanted. Before Dolph again
lectures the house, he must see that the
record backs up his statements"

MELBOURNE, April T.-Although the
jury returned veadict of willful murder
against Deeming, he has not altered his
demeanor, and is as jocular and insolent
as ever at times. Every day additional
evidence is received, showing that the
man is entirely devoid of conscience, al
though his bravery is questioned as his
victims were all women and children.
During the inquest yesterday the cor
oner read note signed "Lily." The
writer said the coroner must treat
Deeming with greater impartiality. If
he did not get justice the writer would
take the coroner's life in open court.
The letter is supposed to have been
written by crank or to be hoax.
Despite his semblance of ease Deem
ing in periods of abstraction is visibly
haggard. He has lost flesh and his fea-
lures are becoming pointed. The jailors
keep close watch upon him all the
time, for it is believed he will kill him
self if he gets chance. He studiously
paid no attention to the evidence, ex-
cept at times when he laughed at cer-
tain statements that were made.
The newspaper reporters were busily
preparing verbatim reports of the pro-
ceedings, and the reporter of the Asso-
ciated Press, who was present with the
correspondents of other press associa-
tions, prepared his cable messages in
the court room. After time Deeming
noticed the messengers of the cable
company passing and repassing, and
asked:
"What have the people abroad got to
do with murder committed here?"
When Miss Rounzeville, his Sydney
fiancee, went to the table to sign her
testimony, Deeming called to her, say.
ing: "Katie, come to me-" Miss Rounze-
vile paid not the slightest attention to
him.
In nearly every place that Deeming
had been he had shown really valu.
able collection of weapons of various
types. At the inquest were produced
battle-ax and knife which Sergeant
Mullins said he thought might have in
ficted the wounds that killed Mrs.
Deeming.
LONDON, April THE Globe today
says dressmaker living in East End,
London, has recognized a portrait of
Deeming as that of man who courted
her, under the name of Law
son, in August, 1888. She says
they were walking the night of Septem-
ber 18th, and parted from each other at
II o'clock. The following morning the
shockingly mutilated bodies of the wo-
men Stride and Eddowes were found in
tie Whitechapel district. Next day the
dressmaker and Lawson had CONVEX
sation about the murders. and the latter
inadvertently said:
"Look at the time. l could not have
committed the murders"
He Immediately disappeared, and she
has not seen him since.

WASHINGTON, April Tin the house
today Cobb of Alabama, from the COM
mittee on elections, submitted the
minority report on the Noes Rockwell
contested election case, and it was
ordered printed.
Wilson of West Virginia then took
the floor to close the debate on the free
wool bill.
Wilson said it was not his purpose to
review in detail the already much de-
bated provisions'of this bill, neither was
it his purpose to make comparison of
the conflicting systems of taxation that
were now struggling for mastery in the
land.
At the conclusion of his remarks he
was warmly applauded and received the
warm congratulations of his colleagues.
A vote was then taken on the bill, and
the bill was passed, yeas 1874, nays 80.
Funston of Kansas rising to ques-
tion of privilege, sent to the clerks
desk and had read an article published
in the New York Voice, which, for ten
minutes, kept the house in whirl
wind of laughter and merriment. The
article, which is headed A few Of the
Congressional Tipplers, goes on to men
tion the names of dozen or more senators
and an equal number of representatives
who at the senate and house restaurant
have been indulging in intoxicating
liquors. Funston's name was one of
those mentioned, and he said he be-
lieved the article was intended to affect
the primaries in his district.
Laughter
After many good-natured remarks by
the different represe natives, Funston,
in unmeasurable terms, and in language
the correspondent of the Voice, and
called upon,the decent correspondents to
kick him out of town.
Lewis of Mississippi suggested that
the correspondent was woman.
Funston-It makes 20 difference
whether she is lady or street walker.
/ am standing in my own defense.
Misses in the gallery
Wheeler OF Atlanta made the point of
order that the gentleman should not
use such language on the floor of the
house.
Funston said he was informed that
the correspondent was not woman.
He had been told the name of the man
who wrote the article.
Funston then took his seat amid
misses.
The house then went into committee
of the whole with Blount in the chair
on the Turner cotton bagglng bill. After
u short debate the committee rose.
Wheeler of Alabama rising to a ques
ton of personal privilege, offered reso.
luton declaring that it was due to the
dignity and good name of the house of
representatives tnat the remarks made
by Funston today, relative to woman,
should be expurged from the record.
Burrows asked the gentleman to with
hold his resolution. He was assured by
the gentleman from Kansas. that any
thing that could be criticised would be
eliminated from the record.
Wheeler said that with that assurance
he would allow the resolution to lie
upon the table. The house then ad-
iourned.

IN THE SENATE.
tewart Rises to a Question of Personal
Privilege.

Stewart Rises to a Question of Personal
Privilege.
WASHINGTON, April I'm the senate
today memorial signed by many citi-
zens of Massachusetts was presented by
Dawes, praying for the naturalization OF
such Cinnamon as came to the United
States prior to the first exclusion act.
A resolution was offered by Teller and
agreed to, calling on the secretary of the
treasury for statement as to the
amount of silver offered to the govern
ment each month since the passage of
the bill OF July IA, 1890, by whom and
what amount of silver bullion was pur-
chased each month, at what prices and
the number OF days given sellers in
which to deliver silver, and from whom
purchased.
The senate then proceeded to the con-
sideration of the bill making appropria-
tions for the expenses of the government
of the District of Columbia.
While the bill was under considera-
alton, Stewart made a personal explana-
tion on the subject OF an article in yes
terday's New York Evening Post, con-
tanning list of mortgages made to him
in Alamo, CAL, wherein there was an
obligation that payment should be made
in gold coin. These mortgages, he said,
resulted from sales of property at auc-
tion through firm of brokers in San
Francisco. The mortgages, he pre-
sumed, were drawn up in the usual
blank form which contained an obliga-
ton to pay in gold. He had
never seen them, but had no
doubt that such was the case.
1t arose from what was known as the
Pacific contract law, passed in 1868,
which was still in force there, and under
which the gold standard had been main
tanned there during the war.
Hale hoped the senator would see to
it that no such thing should take place
in the future.
Stewart promised to do 30, and added
that he would be glad to be paid in any
kind of money. He had always been
opposed to the Pacific contract law,
which, he thought, had operated to the
repeated that his brokers had drawn up
the contract in the usual way, and that
he was not responsible for that.
Hawley offered an amendment to the
district bill, appropriating $4,000 for
the reception and entertainment of the
next encampment of the G. A. R., in
Washington, one-half of the amount to
be paid from the national treasury and
the other half from the treasury Of the
District of Columbia, providing no part
of the amount shall be available until
$4,000 shall have been raised by popular

LETTER BAG.
Reform Politics.


EDITORS HERALD: The great desire
of the present day is purity in politics
but how can this be accomplished when
one of the great parties is in the hands
of very few men, who for their own
selfish purposes make some of the most
peculiar combinations on record? Let
us take for instance the situation in this
city. The editor of the Times, Colonel
Otis, candidate for the national Re-
publican convention, soldering all over
Col. Bob Northam, the political re-
former. Do the Republicans of Los
Angeles who are controlling the situa-
ton at present know? If not, it might
be pleasing for them to know that the
lob of fixing the primaries, packing the
convention, ETC., is already prepared,
and it is said that Col. Walter Moore,
Colonel Otis, Colonel Northam and Ed
Niles have everything cut and dried,
and that upon the order of Mr.. Frank
Stone, who lately arrived from San Fran
cisco, the deal was contaminated, and
that Mr.. Ed Niles has agreed to deliver
the goods as follows: The votes
of the convention for Colone
Otis and Colonel Northam as the
delegates to the national convention.
Here is fine state of affairs for the
Republicans of this county. The county
delegates must bear in mind that they
are entirely ignored; only city men can
get away with the honors, because Ed
Miles, Colonel Otis, Col. Walter Moore
and Col. Robert Northam will that it
shall be so; this is what may be called
"reform politics." But perhaps the
pumpkin rollers" will have something
to say when the time comes. 1t has
been said that politics makes strange
bedfellows, and this combination looks
like it. l advise Republicans to watch
the game. A CITY REPUBLICAN.

CAPSIZED AND SUNK.
A British Ship Lost in the Harbor of

LONDON, April 1.-THE British ship
Erato, Captain Jones, from Iquique,
capsized today and sank at Hamburg,
at which port she arrived March 18th.
Though every effort was made by boats
from surrounding vessels to save those
on the Erato, fifteen persons aboard her
were carried down and drowned.
A later dispatch from Hamburg states
that the report that fifteen persons lost
their lives by the sinking OF the Erato,
was erroneous. Everybody who was
aboard the steamer at the time she CAP
sized has been accounted for, with the
exception of two laborers. Whether
they were drowned or not, is not known.
