THE CHINESE BILL.
Protest Against Its Passage Made
BY Senator cullofn-
THIRTY-yIyE PENSION BILLS PASSED


Washington, April "a vigorous
protest was made in the senate yes
terday by Senator Cullom, of Illinois,
against the passage Of the Chinese
exclusion bill in its present form.
Coming from the chairman Of the
committee on foreign relations, the
protest made deep impression on
the senate. Senator Cullom, while
expressing himself as in favor of the
exclusion Of Chinese laborers, said
that many Of the provisions Of the
pending measure were in contraven-
ton Of our treaty obligations with
China. He urged that the United
States could not afford to ignore its
solemn treaties, although he con-
coded the authority of congress to
enact the proposed law if it saw fit
to do so.
Senator Patterson, OF Colorado, and
Senator Perkins, of California, sup
ported the pending bill, maintaining
that In no way did it contravene ex-
listing treaties, as by the convention
Of 1894 China had agreed that Chi
nese laborers should be excluded
from this country. The bill was
drastic in its provisions, they admit
ted, but no more so than was nee
essary to eliminate the possibility
Of fraud.
The senate then passed 80 private
pension bills and at $40 p. IN. adj
journed.
That was day Of debate on the
Cuban reciprocity bill which opened
in the house yesterday, and was dis
appointing from a spectacular stand
point. There were no sensational
clashes after the debate was actually
begun and none of the bitterness
which was expected to crop out on
the floor came to the surface. The
vote on the motion to 60 into com
mittee of the whole to consider the
bill, however, developed the lines
of cleavage and showed that the
democrats are quite as much divided
on the question as is the majority.
In the division. which is regarded as
practically test vote on the bill, ia
republicans and SO democrats voted
for the motion and Al democrats and
80 republicans against it, The vote
was in reality more embarrassing to
the democrats than to the republic
ans, as the members Of the minority
had called a conference at night at
which they desired to get together
on course of action. The vote
forced the hands of the democrats
as individuals before the caucus. Mr..
Payne, the republican leader, opened
the debate for the bill yesterday in
a strong speech which commanded
close attention from both sides of
the house. There were only two
other speeches. Mr.. Newlands, a
democrat from Nevada, took the posi-
| ton that the concession should not
be made to Cuba unless she were
invited at the same time to become
part of the United States. Mr.. Me-
Clellan, q New York democrat, who
was the last speaker, favored 50
per cent. reduction for the benefit
of Cuba, but gave notice that II the
rate of reduction was not increased
he would vote for the bill He con-
tended that reciprocity was in line
with time-honored doctrines, and
that while republicans might fear
II. democrats should not.

A PLATINUM STRIKE
Unusual and Promising Find Just Out
 From Prescott.

Platinum, the real article, has been found on the Moonlit Wanderer claim, eight miles east from Prescott and in the vicinity of the White Horse mines, says the Prescott Herald. An analysis made today of ore brought to the city by Mir C. A. Whipple of Prescott owner of the claim, shows a fair per centage of platinum, some gold and other precious metal. Further analy- sis will be made.
 Mir Whipple located the Moonlit Wanderer only recently, and his work upon the claim is represented by hoie some ten feet in depth. He calls it q: quartz claim. and the general forma- tion appears to by a cyanide and grail ite It was his desire to learn just what he was up against, which resulted in the analysis and the discovery of plat inun-
 Naturally, MT. Whipple is pleased. Platinum strikes are rare, particularly so in Arizona, and with the white metal are usually associated other metals equally precious.

The local company. the Sunshine Parafine oil company have ordered the mac him : cry to drill a well on their lands ad- joining those on which the well is now being bored.

 V. R. Salinger, of the Victor Mining company, operating at Walker. was in this office this morning, says the Pres cott Herald and reports things lively with the company. The Victor people have been developing their property at Walker for the past eighteen months, during which time they have erected two mills, Huntington and Merrall; the former is roller mill and the latter a drop-stamp, gravity mill The ore near the surface was so highly OK idized the gold would not plate. The company experimented with the cyan fde process, and also tried their ore with different methods Of treatment to extract the gold. As depth was attain ed the ore changed in character till now there is no trouble in milling The Victor is close corporation, being owned by several individuals.

Reduction Plants Ordered.

The Vidette is informed on good au- thority that the Nogales Copper com- pany has placed orders for two 1OO-ton reduction plants-one to be erected ar the Buena Vista and the other at the Pena Blanca mines, situated near No gales in Santa Cruz county. It Is the intention of the officers of the company to have the two plants in operation within ninety days. It is claimed there Is sufficient ore blocked out at the Pena Blanca and Buena Vista mines to keep the reduction plants ordered running indefinitely.
 The news of the erection and opera tion of two reduction plants within a few miles of Nogales by the Nogales Copper company, will be learned by our people with pleasure, for every line of business in town will be benefited thereby The company Is strong finan- cially and many thousands of dollars have been expended economically ana intelligently in order to develop the properties sufficiently to warrant tn erection of the plants recently ordered by the directors.

ALEXANDER AGASSIZ
One of the Remarkable Men Engaged
 in Copper Mining.

Alexander AgassiZ, president of the Calumet and Hecla Mining company for more than fifty years. presents a striking example of what one man may accomplish and live to attain by tar pursuit of the right methods of lite. says the Deadwood Pioneer-Times. Sixty-seven years of age, entitled to write innumerable degrees after his name, world renowned as a scholar and scientist and discoverer, he is still wig Orous and does a days work every day of his life. Occupying a chair of scl- ence at Harvard university, member of several important government com missions, and a large number of scieI, tific societies, prone to travel to the remotest corners of the earth where the interest of science is at stake, he finds time to pay regular and frequent visits to the great copper mine Tn the Michigan peninsula, where hundreds O, millions of dollars worth of raw copper has been extracted. and where the most extensive system of mining Op- erations known to the world is In vogue.
 It is at the Calumet and Hecla that the man may be observed in his true characteristics. There the unapproacn- able dignity of the college professor is laid aside, and clad in overalls, a sou- wester and a slicker, with a torch, ne descends to the deepest levels and slopes of the mine-deeper than it is possible for man to penetrate in any other mine on earth-and there tax, careful stock of everything. the ore re- moved since his last previous visit, tss ore in sight and its tendencies the methods of getting it out and the man ner of supporting the superincumbent rock and earth-even the zeal displayed by the miners themselves.

THE TOP OF OUR PROSPERITY.

The usually optimistic "Jim" Hill thinks this country has reached the top of its prosperity" Maybe so. But if the country can stay anywhere near it's present level of prosperity it will be all right for long time to come; for it is a very high top, and in some re- spects too high. We shall not be sorry to see prices refrain from going higher steel for example, and breadstuffs and meats, and fuel. They are all too high. The advance has gone too swift ly. The game has been overplayed by capital and by labor as well. A slower growth with a more gradual readjust- ment of conditions and relations would have been better for everyone in the long run. Enormously increased co:,- sumption and production squirting less violently and spreading over a longer period would have permitted the en- largement of volume without an ex- cessive burst of prices. When the new pressure was applied abruptly to the train of prosperity it jerked stability off its feet. There was a rush of labor for higher wages and of capital for higher earnings, and the shock. as always, fell on the general consumer, the public.-- New York Press.
