appeals to the association to make the maximum at 60 or 65 cents. It was suggested by few of the mem bers that the minimum be 60 cents and the maximum 75 cents per day for labor. The argument was put up by some that 60 cents was sufficient pay for the common laborer. The expert labor,' as it is termed, was to be given 75 cents. When a minimum and maximum was suggested, Capt. M. G. Sennett, of Cornerstone. made an amendment to the resolution mak- ing the the same as designated-75 cents-while the minimum was to be omitted. His amendment was car ried. Col. Corcoran, before the reso- lution was adopted made his argu- ment. He contended that the hands should not receive less than 75 cents per day for their services. He felt that they earned every cent they made and seriously objected to sug- gestions made by some of the mem bers of the Association to fix the scale of wages at a lower amount. He considered the fact that the planters were getting good prices for their staples and believed that the laboring people should get share of the pros perity. His talk was partially instru- mental in securing the adoption of the 75 cent maximum salary.

Two Chinamen Will Be Sent to Their
 Native Land from Helena.

HELENA, Jan. 30.-Judge Jacob Trieber, of the Federal Court, yester- day gave an adverse decision in the case of Lung Hop and Ming Sam, two Chinamen who were arrested some days ago on the charge of being in the United States without authority
 The two men were rivals and Lung Hop reported to the authorities that Ming Sam had no registration papers and should be sent back to China. An investigation followed and Lung Hop was hung by his own petard, the judg ment of the court being that they both be carried to Portland by the United States marshal and put on board a vessel bound for China.
 It is the second case of the kind to be prosecuted in Arkansas.

 The Republicans are determined to force through the shipping bill. If it cannot be brought to vote at this session the Republicans will see to it that one or more of the appropriation bills also fails, and an extra session will be called to pass them. Then when Congress has met-to appropri. ate-it can, of course, take up the shipping bill incidentally.
 Thus the President will be freed from the criticism of having called an extra session for the benefit of the ship owners and yet the ship owners will be benefited by the session he will haEc called. So everything will be lovely and the taxpayers will have to shell out
