SENAToT GRAY, who had in charge
the bill to amend the Chinese Expul-
sion act, succeeded in getting it
through Congress in its closing hours.
Its immediate passage is to relieve those
Cinnamon who are carcerated in San
Francisco, and to prevent the arrest
and CONTINENT of thousands of others.
1t suspends for six months the expul-
sion provisions of the Geary act, and
aecords to Chinese residents that much
additional time TO establish their right
to remain in this country. Cinnamon
failing to register within six months
are to be deported, as under the for
mer act, except that the requirement
of white witness is removed. The
word "laborers" in the act is construed
to mean skilled and unskilled manual
laborers, and the term merchant" is
defined to mean a person engaged in
buying and selling merchandise at
fixed place of business carried on under
his name. The photograph require.

An increase of tax on manufactured

will swell that amount to about $780,

THE actual resumption of the coin

dered, but the San Francisco and New
Orleans mints have been instructed to
get ready as soon as possible to coin
the silver bullion in their vaults.
When all the United States mints be-
gin coming silver over one million dol
lars a month can be turned into the
treasury as seigniorage. Owing to the
decided increase in gold production,
not only in the United States, Tut
abroad, there will be less foreign de-
mand for American gold this year than
ever before, consequently more of it
can be used for domestic coinage.

Planting Nut Trees.

Mr.. John G. Bailey has done a wise
thing as landowner, a feature that it
would be well for other owners of farms
to follow, especially as the country is
getting so bare of trees. He has pur-
chased 1000 walnut trees to plant along
fence rows where there are not hedges,
on his several farms. He has also
bought a lot of chestnuts for plant
ing, with a view of alternating the wal
nut trees. In addition to the roadside
and line fences, there are corners and
waste hill.sides on most every farm
where nutting trees might be grown to
an advantage.
