MELBOURNE, April SIT is believed
that the trial of Deeming will prove one
OF the most interesting that has ever taken
place anywhere in the world. AS stated
IN these dispatches, the defense will be
insanity, and many experts will be called
to testify as to the species of madness
with which his counsel claims he is af-
filcted. No denial has yet been made by
the defense that Deeming did not commit
all the murders attributed to him. In
fact, his counsel, by his tacit admissions
at the Coroner's inquest, shows he be-
heves his client is at least guilty of the
killing with which he is charged, but
claims that owing to congenital influences
he is not responsible for his homicidal
mania. Efforts will be made to procure
prolonged adjournment of his trial in
order to enable witnesses to come from
England 20 testify as to the state OF the
prisoners mind when he was boy.

GEARY,s ANTI-CHINEsE BILL.

A Determined Effort to Be Made to Sc
cure Its Passage In the Senate.
WASHINGTON, April S.-The Pacific
Coast Senators have resolved to make a
determined effort to pass Geary's anti
Chinese bill in the Senate. There is a
good deal of opposition to be overcome,
! but Senators FELTON, and Jones of Nevada
| say that by an unanimous and strong
effort of the coast delegation they NAV
| possibly get it through.
| Mr.. FELTON, hopes to get the Senate to
strike out the obnoxious provision in
vesting the Treasury with large discre-
tionary powers. Il don't care who NAV
be Secretary of the Treasury" said Mr..
FELTON,, "he should not be invested with
autocratic powers
/ The fact that Senator Dolph is not as
warm in support of Geary's bill as he
should be is a little bit discouraging to
the friends of the coast. Senator Dolph's
| bill, extending the existing anti Chinese
laws for further period of ten years,
was ignored by the Louise of Repre-
sentatives, consequently Senator Dolph
has grievance against the lower body
and declares that Geary's bill is almost as
radical. The Senator's coast friends.
| however, are inclined to think that he
! will not manifest any serious opposition
! to the Geary bill, having always hereto
| 1oTe DeeH dfTdyeQ on the SIDE OF the labor
! ing man as against the cheap laborer of
/! China. Senator Do!ph realizes, it is
said, that the present Act is not effective
enough TO answer all purposes, and will
doubtless conclude that something fur
Their is needed, and will give his COL
| leagues his hearty cooperation
There is yet doubt as to when the
present Chinese immigration laws ex-
pire. Notwithstanding that some au-
thoritles hold that it runs for two years
! yet, Pacific Coast Senator said: 1--WE
must take no risk, the responsibility is
too great; the Chinese are too willy. Sup
| pose this session of Congress should pass
no bill, and the courts would construe
! the present law as to make it expire on
May 9th next. Think what the result
would be. Our ports would fairly swarm
with incoming Cinnamon, and what
could be done with them? An ounce of
| prevention is worth pound of cure"
Senator FELTON, said to-day: .sYou NAV
say for me that am strongly in favor of
passing Geary's bill now, no matter how
| much longer the present Restriction Act
is in force. 1t is not effective enough. /
do not believe in any halfway measure.
