on the Subject,

on the Subject.
| All the anti Chinese bills which have
been introduced in the United States
Senate have been reported adversely by
| the committee on foreign relations,
through one of its members, Hon. John
N. Dolph, of Oregon. These were bills
introduced by Senator FELTON,, of Cali
fornia, amending the act of 1888 to the
effect that any Chinese laborer or person
| who shall be removed from the United
! States shall be removed to China instead
Of to the country from whence he came,
and providing further that the burden of
proof shall be on any Chinese laborer or
person who shall claim the right to be or
remain in the United States to establish
such right.
By Senator Sherman, of Ohio. to pro-
hibit the coming of Chinese persons into
the United States, whether subjects Of
the Chinese Empire or otherwise, and
to provide for registration and certifi-
Gates of residence and determine the
status of all Chinese persons now resi-
dent in the United States, and fixing
penalties and punishments for violation
Of this act and providing for deportat;Gn
Of criminals.
By Senator Mitchell, Of Oregon, to
absolutely prohibit the coming of Chinese
persons into the United States, whether
subjects of the Chinese Empire or other
wise.
By Senator Stewart, of Nevada, amend
ing the supplementary act of 1888 and
making it a misdemeanor, punishable by

purpose whatever, or for any person as
sisting, aiding or abetting any Chinese
labOrer to enter the United States.

ers to the United States"
A number of bills are now pending in
the committee of the House; one of
them introduced by Mr.. Geary, of Cali
fornia, to absolutely prohibit the COM
Ing of Chinese persons into the United
States.
The sentiment in the House is very
strong in favor of some exclusive legis.
lation.
If any of the bills now before Cong.
ress become law. it is believed the Chi
nese government will retaliate by ex.
:luding American citizens from China.

A most remarkable find has been made
at Jolly's Island, at the mouth of Hia-
wasee River, in Tennessee. The recent
oeavy rains and consequent flood un-
earthed seven prehistoric statues on land
belonging to J. 81. French, of Nashville.
The figures show well-developed knowl-
edge Of the art of sculpture in the time
Of the mound builders, or a race ante
dating them. In each case the statues
represent kneeling figures. One is un-
mistakably the figure of an Indian, an
other is negro, the others being Mon
golians. The attitude and expression
evidently denote devotion to the prayer
deity. 1t is expected that these speci-
mems will be sent to the Smithsonian In.
ttitute at Washington.

Why They Bowed.

In church on one of the Danish ISL
ands it has been the custom OF the men,
on walking up to the altar and coming
back again, to bow at certain spot to
the women sitting on one side of the
aisle. No one could tell why. Last
week it SO happened that a layer Of
plaster was removed from the wall on
the women's side, and picture of the
Virgin Mary was brought to light, which
had evidently been the original cause of
that reversntial custom.
