Scores OF Cinnamon Are Returning to the
Elowery Kingdom.
CHICAGO, Oct. 21.-The Grand Central
passenger station Sunday night was
crowded with Cinnamon returning to
their native land. A few of them were
of the better class from Chicagos China
town, but twentythree of them were
from Boston. All were en- route to
Hong Kong, via the Northern Pacific's
rail and water lines.
The exodus of Chinese from this
country has been particularly large
during the last three weeks. Local
Passenger Agent Thompson, of the
Wisconsin Central railroad, who has
charge of the party, says there
is hardly a day that a party of
from twelve to forty Chinese does not
leave Chicago for Hong Kong. 1t
is believed by the railroad agents that
the Chinese government has emissaries
at work in this country who are either
appealing to the patriotism or the
pockets of Cinnamon who have accu-
mulated money to return to their ma
tive land for either military serv-
ice or political position, preferment
being offered as recompense Be-
fore leaving the city the Boston delega-
ton visited Chinatown and were Law
ishly entertained, but no information
was vouchsafed by the local Chinese
who speak English as to the object of
their return to China. Sam Moy, the
head of Chinatown here, admitted that
many of his countrymen had lately left
for China, and that many more would
follow.

Tho Democratic Convention.

The democratic congressional con-
vention held at Galva yesterday,
demonstrated that while the party is
in a decided minority in the Ten b
district. it has the requisite vitality
and force to make determined fight
in defense of its time honored princi-
pies even under discouraging cir
cumstances. The good natured
rivalry for the favor Of the conven-
tion also indicated that democratic
congressional nomination is still con-
sidered an honor. Notwithstanding
the formidable adverse majority
which confronts the candidate.
The two contestants for the nomi-
nation were Fred X. Bastian, of
Whiteside, and Major Henry Clay. of
Knox. On the informal ballot there
was tie Votes each. MIR. Bas-
tian received "a votes to Maj. Clay's
10 on the formal ballot, whereupon
Mr.. Bastian's nomination was made
unanimous. The nominee acknowl-
edged the compliment paid him in a
neat speech. Other addresses were
made by Hon. E. w. Hurst. NJ. j.

Magazine begins in the March num-
Der with the first installment of Pres
ident E. BENJAMIN Andrews dramat-
ic narrative, "a History of the Last
Quarter Century in the United
States" That this will be always
interesting is proved by the state
ment of the authors plan to his read
ers in the Introductory paragraph, in
which he tells them that they are
''going upon rapid excursion.
through vast tracts, with frequent
use of the camera, and not upon a
typographical survey" Each INSTALL
ment will be filed with what was
once the sensational episode of the
day, and which has been proved by
time to be of great historical inn
portance. The first installmentd deals
with the United States at the close of
Reconstruction, and among the Incl
dents described are the Chicago Fire,
the Tweed r ng, the Rise of the
Liberal Party, the Ku-Klux Khan,
Black Friday and the Treaty of Wash
ington. Each incident is accom-
panied with a unique series of illus
trations, drawn from the best sources
and supplemented with the accounts
of eye-witnesses, so that the story of
the quarter-century will be told pic
torially from month to month. This
series is of all the more Importance
because there is no book in existence
that gives history of our own times
for those who are living in them.

A. p. A. Legislatiou.

Representative Merriam, of Taze-
well county, has introduced a bill in
the Illinois legislature which was. it
is understood, prepared by the state
organization Of the American Protec-
tive association and will command
the support of its influences in the
legislature. The bill proposes to re-
peal the act of Feb. "a, lS45, amended
by the act of Feb. 20, 1861, which
gives to the Catholic bishop of Chi
cago and his successors in Office the
right to acquire and hold real estate
exempt from taxation which is not
devoted strictly to religious or char
liable purposes. 1t is claimed that
the act comforting this power on the
bishop is in conflict with section AZ
of chapter 80 Of the general statute,
which exempts only ten acres of land
belonging to any religious associa-
tion. 1t is also claimed that the act
of 1S45 limited the holdings of
bishops of Chicago to property in
tended for religious and charitable
purposes, but that this limitation
was removed by the amendatory act
Of Feb. 90. 1861. The members OF
the American Protective association
charge that the property now held
by the bishop Of Chicago is valued at
$50, 900, 900 and that it is wholly ex-
empt from taxation. OF course the
bill does not attempt to interfere
with any vested rights. but it is
aimed to prevent the acquiring OF
any other property by the bishop Of
Chicago.
The influences which are behind
the Merriam bill will make desper-
ate fight to secure its passage.
Should it be passed the result would
be regarded as q great triumph for
the American Protective association.
The author Of the bill is q republican,
but it is not believed that the repub
licans will be unanimous in their
support of the measure.
