A Washington dispatch to the Phlla.
delphla Press says; Minister Denly,
our representative at Pekln, has obtained
some important Information rcyarang
the Chinese policy OF future railroad con.
struction. He has learned, he writes the
state department, that the Chinese gov
ernment is bent on excluding foreign cap
ltal and foreign material from railroad
construction throughout tho empire This
policy has been determined upon despite
Minister nenhy's polite but earnest expo
sition OF American facilities aud cnter.
prise He believes, however that the
decision OF the government TO favor do
nestle capital and material aid cannot
survive. There are certain disadvantage
against which the Chinese promoters and
managers may not be able TO success
fully operate There is a lack OF eS-
perience, and there is a growing pressure
from the outside by those interested In
such matters. and who wish to partakc
OF the commercial advantages Of railroad
construction and control in China There
is superstition. also which must be
dissipated before any great amount OF
railroad work can be done In the Chinese
provinces, For instance. the road just
authorised by the government. the de
tails OF which are communicated to the
state department by Minister DENLY, will
run from Tien-Tsin to a point within
eight miles OF Pekin This inconvenient
terminal is selected out OF Difference to
native impression that the sacred PIE
clnct OF the imperial residences should
not be contaminated by the unholy pres
ence OF the modern locomotive. This
view will soon be dispelled, says Minister
DENLY. and the railroad win in few
years probably run beneath the walls OF
the Chinese capital"

Efforts to secure an amendment OF the
immigration laws In the direction OF re-
striction are being made in congress. A,
recent hearings by the house committee
on immigration. a number OF representa-.
tive citizens have appcard in advocacy OF
a bill introduced by Massachusetts,
member. which adds to the list OF ex-
cluded aliens all persons between fourteen
and sixty years of age who cannot both
read and write the English language or
some other language. The supporters
OF the bill advocated the educational test
as a moderate. rational. effective and
simple means Of further restricting immi-
grafton 10 the country. They thought
that the government had the right TO ex-
clude nlittrate persons from the country
and that this test, combined with others
of more general character. would in
all probability shut out large part OF
the undesired portion OF the present i'm
migration. would reduce :he total number
OF immigrants, and thereby greatly benefit
the labor market and help TO maintain
the rate OF American wages. II would
also shut ont in very large measure
those elements which tended to lower the
quality Of American citizenship. and
which now in many cases gather in dan
gerous masses in the slums OF our great
cities Action upon the question may
perhaps be stimulated by the fact that
immigration IS again on the increase

The reason tie Democrats are favorable
TO free silver in order to Kill the tariff bill
IS very clear Tney desire to relieve the
president Of the responsibility of vetolng
nr approving the tariff. bill. The presi-
dent is embarrassed by such a possibility.
H. knows that to approve the bill would
make him subject to severe criticism
within his party, and % v45o 1t would
make him guilty OF a crlDable disregard
Of the interests Of .he country, which are
suffering from the constantly increasing

and to save the president from dilemma,
the Democrats who have been loudest in
their protestations Of desire FOR sound

just as they did in 1s91 IN order to kill the
Force bill. The Democrats have this
time entered into an unholy alliance with
the PoDullsts, the most dangerous politi-
cal organization in the country. to kill
the tariff bill, and they do not care
whether they kill the credit Of the coun-
try at the same time or not

Tacoma has just finished the construc-
tion Of a smoke house % by "a feet. II
Will be capable OF smoking eighteen 10
twenty tons Of fish at a time. This is
an entirely new phase Of the fish busi-
ness for the company. Heretofore there
has never been but a very small quantity
Of fish smoked in the city. Since the re-
organization Of the company It has been
determined to provide fish for the market
in almost every form in which there is
a demand The smoked fish industry is
quite an important adjunct, as fish cured
in this manner are quite frequently called
for. The smoke house is a two-story
building and fish were already hanging
thicky in the upper story being smoked
yesterday. The company has decided to
smoke for the present the following varl-
eties: Sturgeon. herring, different kinds
Of cod, and halibut. The company is
putting up spiced herrnigs and sardines
In boxes Yesterday over three tons Of
fish were shipped. Some OF the shipments
went as far east as Chicago and st. Paul
A special effort is being made to intro
duce the shrimp caught in the vicinity OF
Tacoma. Milo Kelly, treasurer of the
company said yesterday that shrimp are
not found in any other part of the Sound
except in the immediate waters contigu-
Gus to Tacoma.
