Siegelstein of this county rendered a
verdict in connection with the wreck

CHINESE QUESTION MAY
DISRUPT THE CONGRESS-

Portland, Ore, Aug. I7--Unless i'm
:dications fail the sessions of the Trans
Mississippi congress will be rent by
dissension before the congress is
twenty-four hours older Utterly an
stagonistic views are held by the dele
cations representing California and
other western states and those repres-
enting Oregon and Washington on the
subject OF Chinese immigration. This
fact first became manifest during Cow
5ernor Chamberlain's address. The.
Oregon executive had hardly finished
"a perfunctory welcome to the congress
when it launched al, emphatic distum
to the effect that while the commercial
interests OF China are valuable, the in
Aux OF a horde Of Chinese coolies into
the Pacific coast states is too high a
price TO pay for it, and this. he said
in effect, would be the result If the
exclusion laws were not administered
with the utmost strlngency. 4 5

Governor Mead expressed
similar views of the subject
Governor Pardee, of California, in
responding for his state, displayed an
evident desire to eyade allusion to the
subject Of Chinese immigration.
The fight probably will be initiated
before the committee ON resolutions,
where it is almost a foregone conclu-
sion the sentiment Of the different
sections of the coast will be presented
