For the Opening of the strip.

WASHINGTON, April 5.-Delegate Har- vey's bin to ratify the purchase of the Cherokee strip in Oklahoma territory will be taken up for consideration this week by the House committee on ln- dian affairs. The lands aggregate nearly six million acres, and were pur- chased under an agreement made with the Cherokee nation short time ago by commission appointed for that purpose by the President under an act of the Fiftieth Congress. Dele gate Harvey, who introduced the bill, says that he receives on an average about . hundred letters daily from citizens of Kansas. Missouri, Illinois, and Iowa, inquiring about the strip and asking when his bill is going to become law. These people express their intention of settling on the lands as soon as they are thrown open to set clement.

SILVER FALLS FLAT.
SENATOR MORGAN BEGINS DE-

Many Senators Present But the Galleries Deserted-The Chinese Exclusion Bill Passed by the House-The Measure a Most Stringent one-Generai News.

WASHINGTON, April 6.-Senator Mor- gan set the free silver ball rolling in the Senate yesterday. Despite the wide notice that had been given but little interest was manifested when he rose to speak. There was large number of Senators present and they listened while with fattering attention, but the galleries were practically de- serted. There was the usual number of sightseers, but that IS true when nothing but a funeral oration is on. So far as those Wash ingtonians go who are most generally on hand when anything big is on the tapis they were not discernable. There were two reasons for this: First, Morgan speaks SC low that it is difficult to hear him in the galleries; second, the subject of free silver, SO far as this Congress is concerned, is generally be- lieved to be as dead as door-nail.

KTSeFIsHER, o. T., April 6.--The ex- citement over the opening of the Chey- enne and Arapahoe reservations is be- coming more intense every hour. Trains of schooners are sailing in every direction. The Rock Island trains are daily loaded with anxious home-seek- CTS, as that line runs along the border of the lands to be opened.
 A line of schooner captains has been formed for several days at the door of the Kingfsher Land office who declare their intention to be the first to file their entry. The Fifth Cavalry has been scattered along the border with orders to arrest all trespassers. There is bitter fight on against the soldiers declaratory statements, and loud threats are being made against the agents who dare to file large numbers of them. Even men who hold official positions are threatening to incite rioi to pre- vent the unlimited filing of declara- tories. The ex-soldiers are here in force and determined to maintain their rights under the laws. There is dan ger of serious trouble.

His desk was covered with flowers, and all the mem bers of the Ways and Means commit tee, the representatives from Illinois of both political parties, and many others wore Springer pinks on the lapels of their coats.

CHINAMEN EXCLUDED.
Most Stringent Bill Passed by the
 House of Representatives.


 House Of Representatives.
 WASHINGTON, April GA bill held by friends and foes alike to be one of the most important now pending in the American Congress was passed by the House of Representatives yester- day, after only thirty minutes debate This measure so rapidly rushed through the House is important not alone from an American but from an international standpoint, not alone because of inter- est to the industrial classes through out the Nation but because it is a null lification of important existing treat ies. The bill in question is commonly known as the Chinese exclusion bill, and was reported by the House com mittee on Foreign Affairs. and yester- day taken up on motion of Mir. Geary of California.
 MT. Hooker of Mississippi made an earnest effort to secure a longer time for debate than the hour allowed under suspension, but Mir. Heard of Missouri objected to his request.
 Mir. Gray said that the pending meas ure remedied the defects which existed in the existing law. No measure short of it could affect the ends desired, and he hoped that the House, at time when so much was being said about protecting American labor, would not object to protect it from imported for eign pauper labor.
 Mir. Hit of Illinois and Mr. Hooker said that a fatal objection to this bill was that it was deliberate violation of plighted faith.
 MT. Gerry said that the Chinese government, both through its officers at home and in thls country, had done everything in its power to violate the spirit of the treaty.
 Messrs. Herman of Oregon and Cut ting of California, also favored the bill, and after further debate it was passed by a vote ofl79 yeas to 43 nays.
 The bill as passed by the House ab- solutely prohibits the coming into the United States of all Chinese persons, except the Minister from China, his at taches, servants, etc.
 MT Hatch reported the anti-option bill.

 the Protection Side of the Tariff.
 WASHINGTON, April 5.-Mr Burrows of Michigan closed the general debate on the free wool bill for the Republi- cans speaking in opposition to 1t. He denounced the assault upon the tariff law by the Democrats because Tit disturbs business, alarms capital, preventing it from emoarking Tn new enterprises to which it was invited by the tariff of 1890, deters the employ ment of labor, destroys confidence ana prevents the full realization of that Tn. dustrial prosperity which the act oi 1890 was inter led to promote, ana which, if understood, would surely se' cure"
 Mir. Burrows said the decline in the price of wool was due to an unpreceo' ented increase in the worlds supply oi wool and that the price of the Ameri' can fleece was kept in advance of the foreign clip by nearly if not quite the amount of the duty, and it was thii duty alone that saved the Americar wool grower from disastrous ehect o' this worldwide depression.
