Washington, May 10.-When the senate
met to-day bunch of La France roses
graced the desk to be occupied by Mr..
Patton, the new senator from Michigan,
appointed to succeed the late Senator
Stockbridge.
Senator Allen, of Nebraska, introduced
a bill to repeal the act regulating the use
of the capitol grounds, under which Coxey
and his lieutenants were prosecuted.
Senator Frye, of Maine, presented a
resolution of the National Statistical as
sociation in favor of thorough reform in
the consular service.
Senator Aliens resolution to investi-
gate the alleged police clubbing of May l,
came up this afternoon. Senator Teller
favored the resolution. Coxey was law
abiding citizen. He and his followers
trudged here through the rain and mud
and were entitled to respectful consider
alton. He did not indorse the statute
under which they were arrested and he
did not think the senate could refuse to
investigate the police clubbing. He him
self would furnish the names of witnesses.
Whether Coxey was crank it did not
matter, but his was not wicked scheme.
It only asked congress to provide work
for the unemployed.

bureau there are 1850 Chinese registered

TARIFF LEa1sLATIoN.
President Cleveland stated few days
ago to Archbishop Ireland, in the course
that he intended to exert all the influence
which rested with him to secure the
prompt passage of the tariff bill. There
have been rumors to the effect that the
president was getting impatient with the
delay in congress and was thinking Of
putting his own shoulder to the wheel,
but this is the first confirmation of them
that the public has had. Tho archbishop
himself Is authority for the statement.
IMPORTANT IF TRUE.
Indian Inspector Thomas P. Smith, Of
the interior department, has returned
from tour of official inspection of Indian
reservations. Since last January inspec-
tions have been made of all the agencies
in Oklahoma and Indian Territory.
Inspector Smith will probably be de-
tailed in few weeks to make inspections
of the Indian agencies in New Mexico and
Arizona, and to investigate charges filed
against Indian service employees.
