CHINESE EXCLUSION.

FELTON, (Cal.) Urges the Importance Of the
Geary BILL
WASHINGTON, April 21.-After the calendar
was disposed Of the house bill prohibiting
the coming Of Chinese persons into the
United States was taken up for considera-
tion. Chandler moved an amendment
making the term OF exclusion fifteen in
stead Of ten years. Dolph (Ore. said he
disagreed with Sherman in the opinion that
the existing exclusion act would not expire
tlll 1884, and desired to have some practical
legislation on the subject secured without
delay. FELTON, (Cal.) agreed with Dolph as
to the necessity Of legislation on the subj
He thought it better that there should be
legislation TO exclude the Chinese H.
would remain silent but for the fact that he
represented in part constituency that
suffered from the evil for a third of cen
question. Felton's speech was composed
largely Of an indictment against the Chi
nese race. which, he said, had a sovereign
contempt for western civilization and
religion. He objected TO the existing law
because it had no practical effect. bher-
man opposed the house bill. When the bill
went before the committee on foreign rela-
tlons, said he, it had been deemed best,
instead Of passing so severe law, to post
pone action on it and provide fer a contin-
uance for ton years OF the present regula-
tlons restricting Chinese immigration. The
opinion Of tho committee On foreign rela-
tions was that the present restrictions
that the senate should agree to the amend
ment extending present legislation for ten
years and let the bill go to conference
committee. where the matter might be
fully considered. The house bill. Sherman
added, is against the spirit Of American

Frye read telegram from @. p, Hunt

that the passage of the Gesry bill would
have on both Chinese and Americans. IA
said Chinese had paid over $35o0OO for
ican transportation companies. Should the
bill become law their traffic would 20 to

He trusted that the good sense of the
American people and love Of fair play and
Justice will find expression in oonpress

sherman then resumed his argument
against the bill. The passage Of such
bill. he said, would break of all diplomatic
relations between the United States and
China. What then would become of Amer

pended on China for tea, and her commero

violation Of the treaty with China and aaid
that any nation violating the treaty unduly
and without cause would be regarded az
acting against the civilization of the world.

PHARAOH WITH A PISTOL.
Remarkable Anaehronisuas Of the Artists
OF Abyssinia.

OF Abyssinia.
We found the walls Of the churches
In Atyssinia covered with pictures of
Scriptural history and the walls of the
cathedral with the exploits Of Johannes,
says writer in the Century. His vic
tories over the Egyptians at Cora and
in the valley Of Gundet are fully repre-
scented in tones as dorid as those of ad-
vertising posters at home. The native
artist does not make up for crudeness
of color by the accuracy of his drawing,
and II these pictures have any merit
1t is in their originality of treatment
For instance, in the cathedral of Gun
det- In picture representing the
Israelites crossing the Red sea, Pharoah
carries in his right hand the latest
specimen in six-shooters, and in his left
hand he holds q pair Of opera glasses,
while the Egyptian host sport Reming-
ton rifles. All the movement Of figures
Is from right to left, and In all pictures
heads are full-faced. with the exception
of Satan and the hated Egyptians. who
are painted in acute profile, to show
their lock of honesty and good faith
and their inability to look you square
in the face. II is a deplorable fact, and
one which, ladies will say at once, only
proves the ignorance and barbarity of
the Philippians, that the evil spirits in
these compositions are always presented
by the softer sex, generally showing
their naughtiness by exhibiting their
tongues The church painter goes so
far as To question the gallantry of ST.
George, the Abyssian patron saint, by
depicting that warrior, instead of doing
battle with the dragon. as spearing the
graceful. undulating form of q long
toDgued woman.
