that he does not propose that the motives

WASHINGTON, April 1.-The House
passed the Chinese exclusion bill after
only thirty minutes debate. Gearv called
IL up and said it remedied the defects of
the existing law, and nothing short of it
would effect the end desired. Hill and
Hooker opposed the bill on the ground of
violation of national faith in abrogating
treaties. Geary said the Chinese Govern
inent had done everything in its power to
violate the spirit of the treaty. Herman
OF Oregon and Cutting of California ia
Vored the bill, and it passed by vote of
l79 to 43.
The bill absolutely prohibits any Chi
nese, whether or not subjects of China
excepting diplomacy and consular of
hcers and servants), from entering the
United States, and Chinese who NAV
hereafter leave the United States are pro-
nlplted from returning to this country.
IL makes liable to arrest Chinese or per-
sons OF Chinese descent entering the
United states or found unlawftIlly there
IN, and provides for their punishment by
lnlpf 4sonment not exceeding five years
and subsequent removal to the country
whence they came, provided that when
they come by way of contiguous foreign
territory they may be returned to China
a proVlSo also allows the Secretary of the
treasury To suspend its restricting pro-
visions in favor of any notable Chinese
parsonage who may wish to visit the
united States, under such rules as he
may prescribe. The last clause repeats
all Acts and treaties inconsistent with
this Act.

PROBABLY DROWNED.

Five Boys Start Out in Boat, But
Have Not Since Been Seen.
SAN FRANCISCO, April 4.-Y yesterday
afternoon five boys, named Peter Con-
molly, James Adams, James Hines, Ed
ward Hathaway and Willie Pierce, paid a
visit to Long Bridge and secured boat
and were soon padding about the waters
OF the bay. There was quite breeze
blowing when the boys started, but they
did not seem to mind the roughness of
the water and head the boat for Mission
Rock. The lads intended TO inspect the
Whaleback steamer Wetmore. None of
them were able to handle the boat prop
erly, and as they got further out the work
became more ditncult, and when night
began to come on the boys were far away
from the shore. The absence of the boys
caused the parents much anxiety, and
the report was soon spread that they had
been drowned. a searching party was
made up, but up to a late hour last night
no trace of them had been found.
Ihls morning the report was given out
that the boys had been picked up and
were locked up in the Alameda County
Jail. A telephone message was sent to
that place and an answer returned that
the boys were not there, and UP to II
O'Clock to-day no tidings had been re-
celved of the five youthful mariners, and
1t Is believed that the boat must have cap
sized and the occupants drowned

Twelve Thousand Mormons Attend the
Annual Conference.
SALT LAKE, April 4.-Over 1900 Nor
mons attended the first days session of
the sixty second annual conference of the
Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-Day
Saints yesterday. This session, in view
OF the recent political events, is looked
upon as one of the most important in the
history of the church. Apostle Richards,
in his speech, declared that those people
who believed that they had received all
the revelations that they were to get are
mistaken, and that more was to come.
President George G. Cannon spoke
hopefully of the future. and said the
church was advancing with mighty
strides and that the hearts of the people
East had been softened, and that they
now all have friendly feeling for the
church.
President Woodruff in his speech advo-
Gated the union of the people. They
should be united in their work, for, as
people, they cannot deviate from the duty
mapped ont for them ifsthey expect to
have the blessings of God showered upon
them. They should DO of one heart and
one mind and not deviate. for when they
deviate they are in danger. He congrat-
ulated the people on the great change in
their midst and in the nation, ana said
the future was full of promise.

THE SILVER QUESTION.

NEW YORK, April A Post Wash
ington special says: Senator Teller was
asked what he thought OF tho silver issue
in its present shape on Colorado politics.
He said: 1T is hard 10 tell as between
Harrison and Cleveland, who viii prob
ably be the Democratic candidate. There
remained not much choice on this head.
Colorado, OF course, is a Republican State,
and if the Democrats offer nothing more
in the shape OF silver legislation than the
Republicans, it is natural TO suppose the
voters will stick to old affiliations. The
Peoples party is likely to gain some
strength, perhaps good deal from the
deadlock. Ii things keep growing worse,
silver going down and the mines closing
up, there is bound to be a break of some
kind. There is the Aspen mine, for ex-
ample, where the men were offered the
choice between discharge and reduction
of 90 cents per day in wages. When 5000
workingmen are put TO such q choice as
that, it means good deal for the men
when they act politically or otherwise
together.
"Eree coinage is in bad way. The
whole power of the Democratic party out
side of the South and West was exerted
to defeat it in the House. The men who
had to vote for themselves in order to
keep solid with their constituents scurried
around to induce other men to vote
against it. They had to support it them
selves, but wanted it beaten in the Sem
ate. The chances are now that there will
be a small majority against it. If the
Bland bill had passed the House the stu
alton over here would be different. Sew
eral Senators who would have been will
ing to divide the responsibility with the
Democratic House are not willing to
shoulder it all alone. They say now,
'Oh. let the thing DROP

up one of the men still held the fireman
and engineer under cover, while the other
went back to the express car and eX-
plSded a bomb underneath it to scare the
messenger.
he said that unless the door of the car
was opened he would explode another
one. The messenger responded, when
one OF the robbers sprung into the car
and, obtaining the keys, the valuables in
the safe were taken. Wells, Fargo &
Co. express box was also carried Off.
When the car halted couple of brake
men, named Arson and Charles Gabert,
together with Ed. Bentley, Deputy Con-
stable at Delano, went out to see what the
trouble was, when gun loaded with
bucltshet was discharged by the robbers,
killing Gabert instantly Bentley was also
shot in the side and arms. The passenger
coaches were not molested.

Much Interest Manifested.
Between five and six hundred people
visited the exhibition of the School Of De-
sign at the Art Gallery between and lO
o'clock last evening. The commenda-
tons of the visitors of the work of the
pupils was warm, and the general verdict
was very encouraging to the teachers
and the members of the Museum Asset
alton. who are the promoters of the en-
terpriSe. Several pictures We're sold, and
the inquiries as to prices and questions
concerning further examination and OPP
portunity to buy. left the impression that
still further sales will be effected
During the evening Miss Blanch and
Mr.. Best gave piano and violin duets,
and Miss Dixon gave a piano solo. The
Woodworking classes double their exhib-
it's, which attracted great deal of atten-
ton, and several names were taken for
probable membership in the day, Satur-
day and evening classes. The pictures
will be taken from the walls to-day and
mostly removed by their owners. The
school now takes a recess until the 10th
inst, when its second term for it's sixth
year begins with the teachers as follows:
Principal, Mr.. Jackson; ASSISTANTS, Misses
Wadsworth and Prick; teacher of cary
ing, modelling and sculpture, Professor

FREE WOOL BILL.
Springer's Speech Read Before the
House.

Springer's Speech Read Before the
House.
| WASHINGTON, April 4.-Springer was
gwen magnificent reception in the
| House to-day. Before his arrival some
| friend distributed scores of his favorite
| Mowers = carnations - throughout the
House, and all the Democrats and many
Republicans wore them. His desk was
piled nigh with flowers, and when he
entered the House, after six weeks alb
sence, there WAS a tremendous burst of
applause. When he took his seat bust
ness was supended ten minutes, the
| members Of both sides crowding around
! him. When the House went into Com
| mlttee OF the " hole on the free wool bill
| Springer announced that he had intended
to make an elaborate speech, but the con-
/ dltlon OF his health would not permit,
and he had prepared brief one, which
would be read by Bryan.
| Springer said the Committee on WAYS
and Means had asked the Bureau of Sta
tistics to furnish statement showing the
! prices OF wool of like quality in the
United States and Europe during the ex-
istence OF the wool tariff from 1865 to this
time. The bureau referred the matter 10
5. \. ID. North, Secretary of the National
Association of Wool Manufacturers, and
special agents of the Census Office in
charge OF wool statistics. The statement
furnished made comparison between
| ONO medium washed wool and port
prices OF Australian fleece which are CON
sidered OF substantially the same quality.
| These prices, when reduced to a gold
basis, show that the prices at the ports in
London ana Boston vary little from year
TO year up to 1890, except during the un-
Usual years of 1871 and 1872, in which
years prices were unusually affected by
| speculation, Leaving these out Of account
Ii appears that for the remaining twenty
three years the average price of port
Phillip fleece was one-fourth cent per
pound more than Ohio medium washed
American wool-groWerS were confined
to q restricted market. Under the con-
dltlons OF manufacture, foreign and do
nestle woods are not in competition. They
must be used together. COMMUNICATING
each other for the manufacture of wooden
goods acceptable to this market with FREQ
wool, the price of these goods would be
reduced to an extent OF the tariff on for
eign woods used in their manufacture
This decrease in price would largely in
crease the manufacture and sale of such
goods, and so increase the demand for
Americanl woods at the manufactures
In other words, the chcapening of foreign
wool by a removal of the tariff dement's
not only the wool-grower and WOODEN
manufacturer, but is of advantage to the
general public, who are consumers.
III conclusion Springer called attention
to the fact that the placing OF raw sugar
on the free list in 1890 caused an increased
consumption of sugar to the amount of
nearly 81 per cent. in 1891, and said the
passage Of the present bill would have a
similar effect in increasing the consump-
ton OF wCoien goods and cause the start
ing up OF I'll establishments now idle.
