Although Patagonia has long been such
a terror to the ordinary traveller the name
of that country being associated with mon
sters of cruelty, who kill strangers with
out the slightest conjunction, Mr. iona

managed TO live for sixteen years In Pata-

spectin9 Welsh colony that was planted
in Patagonia In 1869 by the Rev. NJ. ID.
Jones. Of Bala The first settlers mum
bered $50. but the present population OF
the colony is about 1900. The aim OF the
founder was TO secure tract of land for
WeIshmen who leave their native land To
form a settlement together, instead OF
scattering about among strangers In all
parts Of the world.
The colony is settled in Chubat valley
which Is about forty miles long and -four
broad, and well protected by ranges OF
hills. II was not until 1877 that the colony
showed signs of prosperity, and even now
the colonies have to struggle with fears
and dangers that would daunt any but Q

CHINA MAY RETALlATE.

Petitioned to Discriminate Aeains. This
Country in Commercial Matters.
New YoRK. April 2.-The Evening
Telegram states that Chinese residents
of this country have for some time been
circulating petition among their coun.
trymen, praying the Emperor OF
the Flowery Kingdom the re-
taliate on America, and that the
petition has already received O,O0C
signatures. The petition states that the
Ce!estials resident III this country fear
even greater hardships in the future
than those they now endorse, and &C.
cuses us Of breaking faith. The blame
for this is laid on immigrants from Eu-
rope. The Telegram prints number
of interviews with the leading Chinese
merchants in this city, and the tone
taken by these merchants indicates

American Congress was passed by the
House of Representative to-day after
only thirty minutes debate. The bill
in question is commonly known as the
Chinese exclusion bill and was reported
by the House committee on foreign
affairs, and to-day taken up on
motion of Mr.. Geary, OF California.
Mr.. Gearv said that the Chinese govern
ment, both through its officers at home
and in this country, had done every
thing in its power to violate the spirit of
the treaty. Messrs. Herman, of Ore
gon, and Cutting, of California, also
favored the bill, and after debate 1t was
passed by vote of l79 ayes to 43 nays.
The bill absolutely prohibits any
Chinese, whether or not subjects
of China Except diplomatic or
consular officers and servants)
from entering the United States, and
the Chinese who may hereafter leave
the United States are prohibited from
returning to this country. 1t makes
liable to arrest, upon warrants issued by
any justice, judge or United States COM
missioner, Chinese entering the United
States by crossing It's boundary lines, or
found unlawfully in the United States,
and provides for the punishment
of the Chinese by imprisonment not ex-
ceeding five years and subsequent re-
moval from the United States to the
country from whence they came; pro-
vided, that when they come to the
United States from China by way of con-
tinuous foreign territory they shall be
returned to China. The act applies to
subjects of China and all Chinese, even
if subjects Of any other FOREIGN
power. A proviso allows the
secretary of the treasury to
admit Chinese, other than labor
ers or artisans, to temporarily visit the
United States under such rules as he
may prescribe. The last clause repeats
all acts inconsistent with this and sets
aside the provisions Of all treaties now
in force between the United States and
China which may conflict with the pro-
visions of this act Violations Of the law
will be followed by fine and imprlson-
