r,vaIuabie Strip.

LIS Valuable Freight Property.
Railroad News.

One of the largest deals in the ms
tory of Grand Rapids real estate
transactions Was consummated about =
month ago; but the details were not
made public until yesterday. For sew
eral years the Chicago and West Mlchi-
gan and the Michigan Central railroad
companies have owned joiutly the side

street 10 Prescott street. When the D.,
l.. & y. entered the city. that road
being practically owned by the c. a
w. NJ, both roads bought considerable
property on the west side Of the tracks
along Alma street. The D., l.. d y.
erected freight house there; but the
Vest Michigan continued 10 use the
east side tracks with the Michigan Cen
tral. The room was somewhat limited
and both companies were hampered ia
doing their work. Finally the mat
ter ended IN the Centraps purchasing
the property from the West Michigan.
The price paid was IN excess OF 500,
600. The Central will probably build
new freight sheds on the properly.
The West Michigan Will transact ali

A Cruel Joke,

These delightful days of spring are
sometimes enlivened by facetiae, which
frequently create considerable amuse-
ment that is duly appreciated. Some
days since Mr.. G. E. Haigbt had bis
woodshed boarded up and nicely painted,
and on this he put the warning "Post no
bills" Mr.. Geo. Brown, the engineer of
the fire department, is the best natured
man in America, and laughs the loudest
at good joke. At early twilight one
morning, Mr.. Brown literally covered
this building will bills, and His Honor,
Judge Menefee, was interviewed, and
warrant was placed in the hands of City
Marshal Gibbons for the arrest and de-
tention of the aforesaid George Brown
for "defeclng building" The hour Of
trial arrived, and the recorders Office was
we'll filled with an anxious crowd. After
the testimony of witnesses and argument
of counsel were heard, the court found
the defendant guilty and ordered that as
punishment for said misdemeanor he be
fined IN sufficient sum to pay for cigars,
etc, for those present. A motion was
made in arrest of judgment and bill of
exceptions filed; but the court overruled
these, and the prisoner was remanded to
the custody of the officer until the fine
was liquidated.

Chinese Restriction.

WASHINGTON, May 2.-The conferees
on the Chinese exclusion bill reached an
agreement on the basis of the bill as it
passed the senate, but with certain i'm
portant additions insisted upon by the
house conferees. As agreed upon, the
bill is practically re-enactment for ten
years of the existing law, with the follow
ing additional provisions:
No Chinese person is to be released on
bail pending action on a writ OF habeaS
corpus. All Chinese laborers in the
United States are to be compelled to OBJ
tain registration certificates, and all per
sons other than laborers may apply for
such certificates, for which no charge will
be made. This feature of the law IS to
be carried out under the direction of the
internal revenue bureau of the treasury
department. The forging of certificates
will be punishable by Imprisonment for
five years. All Chinese persons who at
tempt to come into the country unlaw-
fully are to be imprisoned for one year
and then remanded to China.
Senator Sherman and Representative
Hit did not sign the conference report,
but it is understood they have agreed
not to make fight against its adoption.
Geary, who has the bill in charge on the
part of the house conferees, said tonight
he expects the report will be adopted by
both the senate and house tomorrow,
and that the bill will go to the president
for his signature tomorrow night.

The Colvi,,e Reservation Bill.

WASHINGTON, May 2.-To-day was
suspension day, and the bill was passed
without dissenting vote. The fact is,
Wilson has legged around and seen
nearly every kicker in the house and1by
his earnest talk has convinced the MEM
bers that his bill was meritorious meas
ure, and that had more to do with its
unanimous adoption than anything else.
The bill has now to go to the Indians
for ratification of the notifications made
by congress. The commission which
treated with the Colvilles provided too
largely for appropriations and made it
impossible to get the bill through con-
gress. The notifications in the present
bill reduced the actual appropriation to
81, 900, which is for the purpose of car
rying the bill into effect, and then as fast
as the lands are opened up and sold, the
money is to be set aside as a fund for the
tribes on the reservation. The bill will
open up I, 800, 900 acres of land to settle
ment. Of course, it must yet go through
the senate, but as both Squire and Allen
are ready to take it up, there is little
doubt of its speedily becoming law. So
soon as it passes the senate and is signed
by the president, Representative Wilson,
accompanied by an expert from the In
dian Office, will leave for Washing
ton and endeavor to secure the as
sent of the Indians to the notifications in
the new bill, and also to show them how
their rights, even to the modification
treaty, have not been neglected.

Yakima Whitecaps.

NORTH YAKIMA, April 2o.-For some
time past complaint has been made to the au-
thorities that Chinaman has on several oc-
casions conducted himself improperly before
little schoolgirls. Yesterday the culPrit was
arrested and placed in the city Jail. There
was much deep feeling over the outrage, and
about IL o'clock last night a band of about
fifty or sixty men organized for the purpose Of
dealing with the celestial. A strong commit
tee of their number stopped the night watch
man, and, flashing revolvers in his face, de-
manded the keys of the Jail, which he yielded
up. They then took the Chinaman to the
city limits, stripped him of his clothing, and
with blacksnake gave him an unmerciful
beating. They then told him to go, admon-
ishing him that if he ever returned to Yakima
his life would not be spared. No effort is
being made to punish the breakers, senti
ment generally favoring the whiecaps, as they
are called.
