Several Arrests.

SELMA, CAL, Sept. 2.-Last night q
mod of vineyard hands and hobos, led
by T. R. Vincent, manager of the
Stroud vineyard, came into town and
made raid on the Chinese. The raid
was without the sanction of the people
of the town, and was led by drunken
hoodlum. The officers tried to stop
them before they had done any damage
but the mob was too much for them.
All the houses In. Chinatown
were broken into, the money tills
and trunks OF the Cinnamon were
opened and rifled. Clothing, cigars and
other goods we're stolen. The mob
marched through town, taking seven
Cinnamon with them towards Fresno,
when Constable Spencer ordered halt,
and no heed being paid to his orders,
opened fire with q Winchester. Six
shots were fred, one of them grazing
Vinzent's forehead and anotherigoing
through the hat OF one Of the gang. The
mob broke and ran, part of them going
on towards Fresno with the Cinnamon.
The officers secured help and team and
overlook them near Fowler. There are
now III mon under arrest and warrants
are out for several others. The China
men claim to have loat about 5000 in
coin besides other property.

CHARLESTON. S. c.. Sept. 2.-The
News and Courier has made careful
investigation of the condition of affairs

its reports have not been exaggerated.
The loss of life will aggregate 500 in

most of the homes, as we'll as growing
crops, and left the people in q destitute
state. The losa Of life aud property is
found to be greatest on st. Helena,
Ladies, Waesa, Coosaw, Paris, Dswfus-
kie and Dathan islands, These islands,
together with Fort Royal island, have q
population of about $4,000. most OF
wnom are negroes. The estimates at
this time as to the loss OF life
are incomplete. A great many
lives were lost that will never be
reported, as the bodies have been COW
cred or washed out into the ocean. Re-
ports show that there ia dire distress
among the colored people. Their homes
have been washed away and their crops
destroyed. There is no work for them
to do, and they are suffering for food.

and nine-tenths of the vessels in the

An Interesting Di.cu-sion of the Chi
nese Exclusfnn Act.
WASHINGTON, Sept. 2.-Voorhees this
morning, in the senate, gave notice that
he would move on M1nday to begin
the daily sessions at IL O'Clock instead
OF at noon.
The repeal bill was laid aside tenn
porarily, and Doph spoke in favor Of
his bill approprating 100000 for the
enforcement of the Chinese exclusion
act.
He then went on with statement Of
the evil influences and undesirable fea-
lures OF Chinese immigration. reciting
the disastrous effect of Chinese compe-
tition in the western states.
Dolph reviewed in detail the legisla-
ton and treaties relating to the subject
and the conditions which led up to the
enactment of the Geary act. The pro-
vision for the registration of the Chinese
was drawn by himself and intended to
be within the limits OF the treaty, and
is not onerous. The provision req hiring
Chinese laborers in this country to reg
lister and obtain certificates was not in
serted for the purpose OF preventing any
ODlutb6 dutnOktL0u WV CAlotiAB
laws to enter the United States and re-
side here, from doing SO. 1t was not in
serted for the purpose of securing the
deportation OF Chinese. 1t was inserted
for the single purpose of enabling the
government to go designate Chinese
laborers in this country entitled
to remain here that they might be diB-
tingushed from those being smuggled
across our borders. There had been q
great deal of absurd talk and ignorant
criticism about the provision. He was
more responsible for the provision of
registration than any other man in the
United States, for he drafted it. The
talk about the provision being degrading
was absurd. In every state in the union
voters were required to register in order
that they might lawfully be entitled to
vote, and yet there had been no sagges-
tion that it was degrading. AS deporta-
ton of the Chinese was not the purpose
OF the law, it was not incompatible with
the intention of the act to extend the
time in which Chinese may register.
White (Dem.) OF California said the
Senator from Oregon (Dolph) seemed 10
have been treated badly in the senate
before he (White) came here, in failing
to have his name attached to the Geare
act. The bill which the senator from
Oregon introduced had nothing in it
with reference to registration. He was
not the father of the registration idea.
because that idea had been incorporated
into the original house bill. There was
not enough money appropriated to en-
force the act, and therefore he favored
some legislation to enable the law to be
carried out.
Dolph asked whether all the money
appropriated for executing the act had
been expended.
White said he had figures, and pro-
ceeded to give them. Since 1889 $780,

DELAYS ARE DANGEROUS,
The Repeal Bills Chances
in the Senate.
Efforts Made to Press 1t 10 an
Early Vote.
Silver Men Not Alarmed Over the
Situation.
Chinese Exclusion Discussed in the
senate-"Our Steve" Takes q Hand
Rv the Associated Pres,

By the Associated Press.
WASHINGTON, Sept. 2.-Notwithstand-
ing surface indications, the signs all
point to an early effort ON the part of
the advocates of the repeal bill to force
early action upon that measure. The
silver senators do not seem alarmed over
the immediate situation. When spoken
to upon the question they say but little,
but seem to have look upon their faces
which indicates that they may know
thing or two the world at large has not
become familiar with. While none of
them will admit in terms that they have
any intention of filibuatering, they
say with singular unanimity that
they expect and intend to ae-
cure a full and free discussion
of the question in all its phases before
vote can be taken. 1t appeared twice
during the week that the silver men
might run ashore suddenly for want of
speakers. That danger ia no more inn
minent, as the programme for next
week is to have at least one set speech
for each day, and to depend upon luck
and routine to consume the remainder
of the time.
The effect of the action OF Voorhees,
yesterday calling for vote by the sem
ate on the repeal bill will be to keep the
senators regular in their attendance I;
also to keep the silver men constantly
on the alert and on the defensive, for
thsy know that il at each pause in the
debate Voorhees, will be pressing for q
vote, they will be compelled to keep one
or more of their men in the chamber
ready to take the floor at moments
notice. The silver men will not allow
the vote until they are unable to hold
the floor longer. That is the point to
which the fight will finally be brought.
for the men from the silver states will
never consent to vote any other way.
1t is doubtful il the Democratic majority
would ever conaent to the adoption of
the eloture, no matter how leug the talk
might be strung out
The free coinage men seek to accom-
plish by delay the purpose indicated
by Vance. He urged the advocates of
silver to hold on a little while longer
and spoke of the improvement already
going on in business throughout the
country. The silver men hope. if they
can delay the vote long enough. that the
condition of the country will be SUI
ticiently improved to weaken the de-
mands of the people on the senate for
action, and in this way finally get the
advocates OF repeal to consent to sort
of compromise.
