WARRINGTON, Sept. 80 - Assistant
Secretary Hamlln has issued the follow
e instructions 20 the collector of Gus
toms at San Francisco, concerning the
Chinese held for violating the Geary

"ChInese persons, whether convicted
under the Geary act or previous acts,
must not be received by you, but

ses incurred by the marshal in the

Chinese appropriations. Make the best
temporary arrangements practicable
with the steamship Companies as to

WASHINGTON, Sept. 29.-Ir the senate
Cameron of Pennsylvania presented
petition from Philadelphia manufactur-
ers asking legislation To retain the
protective tariff and integrity ofsilver as a
money metal, as heretofore St MT in these
dispatches.
He said the signers re presented 575.-
OOO,O00 in capital and yearly product
uf Sl5O,OOO,OOO.
The repeal bill was then taken up.
HarriF, democrat, Of Tennessee, spoke
against it. He dec 'ared it practically
a.saut Il gold staGGa46 o. ti.s. Szft,T
silver juld only be used as fractional
currency. He favored the coinage of
IL American silver but hoped Sherman
would JON him in the BlaudAllison act
ld going back to that amount of
coinage if not more.
5 sherman said he believed tie contia-
u=d purchase of silver, either under the
Fiand- liisOn act or the act Of 1890
would even tually drive gold from
rculatiOn and never be the only stand
ard. Free coinage would have she same
result, so he favored abandonment of
the system.
Continuing Harris quoted from
speech by Voorhees, last February, in
which be SAID be would have voted to
take up Sherman bill some days prior TO
that but for fact that. ats prssage would
undoubtedly demonetize silver and leave
IL supported by not one word of leglsls-
tion." Harris said in conclusion
he would accept any reasonable COM
promise.
i he speech of Senator Cameron in
favor of the free coinage of silver
coz Iuues the attraction here. The
repuo olican league at the reading yester-
day attempted to censure Senator
Cameron for his course, but was defeat
ed by a two-thirds majority. The
explanation IF the failure to censure
Cameron and indeed the explanation of
the attitude be takes is furnished by
The Intelligence that has reached here.
S, me members of the manufacturers
circulating petition TO the senate look
ing to the consolidat on of the interests
of protectionists and free silverites,
many signatures being pr, duced.
Ihe scheme is to defeat the new tariff
bill and give to the silver men the first
free coinage of silver upon the payment
OF owners of selgnoroge absorbing
three-fourths of the differences between
the market d. ndon) pr ce of bullion
and It coined value; second, the pro-
hibition of foreign silver for coinage
purposes except at seignorage that will
absorb all the difference between the
market prise and the mint value; and
third, thu international monetary con-
ference including ell the nations of the
world except gold monOmeIallist coun-
tries, for the purpose of arriving at an
international agreement. The claim is
set up that it is in the interest of sil
yer protection and that by this means
they will pervent adverse tariff legisla-
ton and secure more liberal s. liver leg
islation. 1t is an alliance suggestion
which is traught with great possibili-
ties IL it is practical, it's successful
operation whould mean the breaking
down Of party lines, perhaps, and would
end the readiustment of party poll
cies.
There was more talk Of silver COM
promise about the senate to day than
has been heard for a week A promin-
ent reput licsn senator occupied a
greater part of the day in trying to get
senators to agree to the propo, ition for
the purchase and coinage of S3,000000
Of silver per month for the next three
years, but met with many obstacles.
The supporters of the president asserted
that he would accept no amendment
whatever, and silver senators made the
objection that to place the limit of
purchase at time within Cleveland's
admistration would be to simply post
pone the blow, and it might almost as
well fall now.
Senator Faulkner, who was engaged
in canvassiug his proposition, met with
no better result than in the case of the
republican senator. Nothing was ac-
complished in any direction, but the
events of yesterday and today caused
many more senators than usual to assert
today that the compromise offered is
the only way out of the present entan-
clement.
IN THE HOUSE.
In the house debate on the Tucker
bill, repeating the federal elections law,
was resumed, Lacker, of Iowa speaking
against it. McLaurins of South Carroll
ma replying said he in favor local self
government in States. Wilson of
Washington wanted to know if the de-
