WASHINGTON, Oct. 6.-The secretary of
the treasury has sent TO the senate revised
estimate Of the cost OF the depor tation Of
Chinese now in the United States. in 40
90 dance with tho provisions Of the Gsary
law. The statement is supplementary to
that Of Sept. l., aud increases the estimate
of the total appropriation necessary from
$6, ,OOO, 900 to $40 33G. coo. A portion Of this
iucrcns 81. 800. 900. is due to the faot that
steamship companies have increased their
yates for transportation OF Chinese I. ON
$50 to SAL The remaining portion of the
increase is due to the fact that the first
estimate did not include expenditures of
courts, which the enforcement of the sot
renders necessary.
Tho first auditor of the treasury gives il
as his opinion that S35 per capita will DO a
low estimate of the cost under this head in
CaifJt mia, while the amount will be greatly
| in creased in other statas. As an example
of the maximum Of such costs tho auditor
instances she fees Of the United States

In which the fees reached $3.50. The audi

for rejecting, whether intention
ally or net, upon the manhood
and independence OF the members OF
the West Virginia Senate. The letter
referred TO was from Hon. Harvey st.
George Tucker, of Virginia, the Chair
man Of the Special Committee appoint
ed by the last Congress to investigate
this subject OF Senatorial elections ana
one of the ablest champions OF elections
bv the people in the present Congress.
I have had some correspondence on
this subject with Mr.. Tucker and the
letter was a personal one stating that
on the 10th of this month
resolution proposing an amend
ment to the Constitution, whereby
II. :. Senators should be elected by the
people, had passed the House without
division and it was hoped the Senate
would act soon upon the matter; mean
ing the Z. s. Senate and not the West
Virginia Senate. The resolution passed
by the Senate was not acted upon with
undue haste. When introduced II laid
over under the rules, was printed in the
Journal, noticed 10 the press, came up
in its regular order and passed almost
unanimously.
That no good reason was given for
its passage, as charged, is due to the
fact that no good reason was given why
it should not pass; in other words there
was no lengthy discussion because there
was no opposition. Eleven States have
passed resolutions by their legislatures
similar to the one passed by the West
Virginia Senate. California at the last
general election submitted the question
of elections Of Senators by the people
to a popular vote, and out Of three hun
dred thousand votes only thirteen thou
sand were recorded adversely.
AS mentioned above the House OF
Representatives has endorsed the prin-
chile and there is unquestionably a
strong sentiment throughout the coun-
try behind this movement. 1t is big
question, wherein there is ample room
for honest differences of opinion, but in
view of the facts recited above 1t can
hardly be maintained that the action Of
the West Virginia Senate was "hasty"
extraordinary" or "unheard Of"
