Senate and House Begin Considera-
 ton of the Subject.
 WASHINGTON. April 5.--The senate has begun consideration of the Chinese exclusion bill, Mir. Mitchell (Or.) mak- ing the opening speech. He pointed out forcefully the necessity for the exclu- sion of Chinese laborerS and carefully and elaborately analysed the bill. He said that it had been constructed on the basis of existing laws in the light of experience and of the decisions Of the courts. While it's provisions were drastic, the bill, he said, ill some re- spects was more liberal than the Geary act
 The Indian appropriation bill was un- der consideration for time, but was not completed
 The house has begun consideration of the Chinese exclusion bill No oppo-. nents of the general principle of exclu- sion appeared, but members were di- vided ill their support of the two bills presented.s
 After some remarks by Mir. Adams
  Kahn (Cal.) made an exhaustive speech in support of the minority bill. He re- viewed the whole history of Chinese exclusion legislation and concluded as follows:
 We of the Pacific coast are perhaps more deeply concerned in this question than any other people. We feel their presence among us more than any oth- CT section of the country. Under the census of 1900 there are 4,091 ,349 in- habitants west of the Rocky noun. tains. Included in this population are 67, ,729 Chinese, while but 22, 134 Chi nese are distributed among the 71994,- 445 inhabitants throughout the other states of the Union.
 We have probably learned to know him better than our fellow citizens elsewhere. He is present, living, vital problem with us, and we feel that our cause is also the cause of the laborer and the wageworker in the eastern states. It is only the sordid and selfish, who prefer low standard of wages and low grade of morality-men who want cheap labor because it will in- crease their individual proits-who would open loopholes in the barriers we have erected after many years of hard, bitter practical experience"
 The senate committee on public build- ings and grounds has authorized a ia yorable report on the bill authorizing a new public building for Providence, R. l., at cost of S1,Oo0,000. Favorable reports also were made on the bills au- thorizing the erection of buildings at Findlay, O.; Meriden, Conn; Biloxi, Miss; Sterling, lii, and Flint, Mich. and on the bill providing for an addi- ton to the public building at Kalama. zoo, Mich.

The Year 1881.

The year 1881 was a chronological
oddly Of the oldest kind, besides being
a mathematical curiosity seldom equal
ed. From right to left and left to right
it reads the same. Eighteen divided
by 2 gives 8 as a quotient; 81 divided
by 9 gives 8; If divided by 8, the quo
tent contains a 8; If multiplied by 8,
the product contains two 9s; / and 8
are 8; 8 and 1 are 9. If the 10 be placed
under the 81 and added. the sum is 80.
II the figures be added thus-1, s, 8, l
1T will give IS as the result. Reading
to the middle from right to left or
from left to right it is 1S. and IS Is
two-ninths Of 81. By adding, dividing
and multiplying ten 9s are produced.
being one 8 for each year to the begin
ming Of the last decade Of the nine
teenth century.
No wonder the fortune %tellers, the as
trologers and the mathematicians
weave so many strange fancies around
that curious combination of figures. 1t

Shipton to end her prophetic Jingle

lived In Knoxville and for a long time
insisted upon spelling the name Nox-

lesson that when a few years after

could prevent him from spelling the

After a few years. residence there
the judge moved again, this time to

MANY I'LL At MANILA.
Report on Health of Army Shows
Increase In Sickness.
DEADLY WORK OF CHOLERA.
This Dread Disease Has Invaded
Our Troops Largely ms the Re-
suit of the Drinking of
Infected Water.

Washington, Aug. S.-SurgeOn Gen
cral Forwood has just received a re-
port from Lieutenant Colonel T.. +.
Harvey, chief surgeon of the division
Of the Philippines, giving a detailed
account of the health of the troops in
these islands. The report shows a CON
siderable increase in percentage OF
violis report. In south Philippines sick
hess has increased in quarters. sta
ton hospital and department hospital:
but. the report says, the reason for this
cunnot be indicated ut this time.
Cholera has attacked two officers and
S!Hty-tWo American soldiers and one
native. Most of these eases occurred in
la@una and Hutanaas. The cause III
the ln2.iolit" Of Instances has been the
drinking Of Infected water. and Il few
eases were dine to food contaminated
either by handling or by flies. In Sa-
mar and l.oyte Solne cases are report
cd. but the disease has not spread
widely. In the (nmarines Sur the
epidemic seems to have been stamped
out, but in Lnguna and Batangas and
the adjacent parts of the province of
Tayabas cholera has spread in virulent
epidemic form, many cases having oc-
Cured without report.
Outside of Manila a total of 1867
cases has been reported, with 1920
deaths. In the city there have been
1850 cases, with LOO deaths. Colonel
Harvey says that the additional de-
mand upon medical officers has been
met in the most satisfactory manner
The report says the people in the small
towns are very ignorant. They con-
slider cholera a visitation of Providence
and cannot be induced to take proper
precautionary measures.
During the month covered by the re-
port the total sick was 2,265. being Z
per cent of the command present (31,-
O5O), and during the same period there
were 10 deaths, including 81 from
cholera and one killed in action.

A MORGAN VICTORY.
beiief That Admiralty Has Accepted
Ship COmbine'n Offer.

London, Aug, ~S.-Iteplying in the
mousse OF commons to Il request Of Lord
Charles Beresford for assurance that
no binding agreement would be con
Guided between the government and
the shipping combination without the
agreement being approved by parlia-
ment, the premier, a. J. Balfour, said:
Il do not think it possible to negoti-
ate on this or any other subject if the
proposed terms are to be publicly dis
crSSed before the government has
agreed to them. The government. how
ever, is most anxious to take the house
into its confidence at the earliest pos
sible moment
MIR. Balfour's reply has particular in
terest, us Belfast dispatches
that the government has accepted ].
Pierpont Morgan's offer to give the adj
miralty claim on all the combines
ships. AS evidence of the acceptance
1t is stated that the government has
chartered the COrinthic, the first ship
built for the combine. which has just
been completed at the Harland-W Wolf
%shipyartls,
Inquiries made curing the day show
that belief is general that J. Pierpont
MOrgnn's offer practically has been ac-
ccpted. The Belfast dispatch may
SLIGHTLY anticipate the technicalities re-
CURED to clos" the agreement or may
not allow for changes inserted since
the offer was originally made, but
ther" appears to be little doubt that
the spirit of the scheme is acceptable
to the cabinet. j. l.. Morgan n Co.
when asked concerning the reported
agreement adopted the same nOncom-
initial attitude as the premier, Mr.. Bal
four. in the house of commons.
The question of organizing an Aus
tralinn-Canadian shipping combine for
a service between Canada, England.
Australia and South Africa to compete
with the American combine organized
by j. Pierpont Morgan has again been
the subject Of a prolonged conference
between the Australian premiers and
Sir Wilfrid Laurier and other Cana
dian ministers. No definite conclusion.
1t appears. has been reached concern
ing the project. i.

stand back.
Several persons were allowed to see
the body, and then trouble began. Ev-
cry one wanted a relic, and in a short
time nothing was left but the body.
Some one even picked up the blood
stained handkerchief which had been
used by Tracy to keep from bleeding
to death.
Many locks of the d~esperado's hair
were carried away, and in some places
his head had been made bald. His
trousers were cut into strips, and be-
fore they were divided they were cut
into smaller pieces. Many Of Tracy's
cartridges were divided among the
members of the posse, and those that
could got at the buckskin bag.

A Wonder In Penmanship.

Among the curiosities preserved BY
the Minnesota Historical society Is a
autographed copy of an engrossment
of the emancipation proclamation. The
eDgrosser, one w. II. Pratt Of Daven-
port, Ia, was so very skillful In his
manipulations of the pen that he sue
ceeded. by careful and exact shading
of the letters. in producing a very ex-
cellent portrait of Abraham Lincoln,
the author Of the famous document, IN
the center of the copy. In other words,
the lettering itself is made to form a
portrait Of Mr.. Lincoln. There We're
probably a large number of them orig
inally struck off, but copies of 1t are
now very rare. AS a specimen OF pen
work it Is certainly very unique.

announces that he has issued sum-
monses against Whitaker Wright and

Financial corporation, limited. In the
same report the receiver says that for
the present it is not proposed to prose-
cute the directors of the London and

The city, however, is displaying the
deepest interest in the London and
Globe group of companies. and the de-
mand that the public prosecutor act is

The Total Public Loss.
Probably the full extent of the mon.
ey lost to the public by the company
will never be known, but financial ex-
perts now estimate it at upward Of

The flotations for which Wright was
responsible aggregated forty-one, with
the enormous capital of Sill, $4,000,
and with few exceptions all these COM
panies are either in liquidation, have
been absorbed or are defunct.
What the shareholders will recover
from the crash may be imagined from
the announcement that the creditors of

5 per cent and that nothing remains
for the shareholders.
The compulsory liquidation of the
