of His Antioptiou Measure.
Washington Xewi.
Washington, Oct. 10. Tho resolu
tion offered yosterday by 3Ir. Dolph
(Rep., Or.) calling on the stato depig
ment for information its to whether the
Chinese government bad requested an
extension of the registration of Chines'"
laborers under the Geary bill was laid
before the senate and 3Ir. Dolph sot out
to make a speech upon it, but was cut
off by a suggestion from Mr. Sherman
(Itop., O.) that tho resolution referre 1 to
executive- business and has to be consid
ered in private session. Mr. Dolph at
tempted to argue that tho rule was not
applicable in this case, but he was again
cut off by tho ruling that a matter bo
fore tho senate involving ex-eufcive busi
ness required tho presi lin j officer to or
der the galleries cleared an I the doors
closed. The miing did not at all suit
Mr. Dolph's plan, which was to have
his speech made in opjn session and re
ported, but ho had to yield. Tho gal
leries wero accordingly cleaved and the
doors closed.
The doors were reopened at 1 1 :50 and
the silver purchase repeal bill was then
taken up, Mr. McPhnrson (Dam.. N. J.)
arguing in support of tho bdl an I de
claring bis belief (a belief which was
shared, he said, by two-thirds of the
people who had any opinion on tho sub
ject) that the Sherman law was the
main and only cause of the business
troubles.
The resolution of Mr. Dolph. calling
npon the state department for informa
tion concerning the repeated requests of
the Chinese government for the suspon-'
ion of tho enforcement of the exclusion
act, was passed It was intimated in a
shorn speech mado in urging the parsing
of the resolution that this request should
be made. Tho whole matter will here
after be discussed behind closed doors.
In tho House.
Mr. Onthwaite (Dem., O.), from the
committee on rnlc-s, introduced in the
house a resolution for tho immediate
consideration of a bill amendatory to tho
Geary Chinese exclusion act. Ho gave
notice that ho would call tho resolution
up tomorrow. (
Tne house then proceeded to the con
Bideration of routine business. A bill
was introduced giving certain settlors in
Oklahoma the right to commute their
homestead entries. At 1 o'clock the
house proceeded , under tho special or
der, to the consideration and vote on the
Tucker federal election bill and amend
ments thereof. Tho first amendment
was rejected yeas, 1 01; nays, 193. The
next vote was on tho Lacey amendment,
which strikes fiom the repealing, clause
the criminal sections of the statutes.
Tho Lacey amendment was defeated,
yeas 90, nays 192. Mr. Fitch withdrew
bis substitute. The Tucker bill was
passed by a strict party vote of yeas,
200; nays, 101. The Popu'ists voted "with
the Democrats in tho affirmative. At
2:43. immediately after the passing of
tho Tucker bill, the house adjourned.
Hatch Hopeful of Ills Measure.
Washington, Oct. 10. The hope of
passing an antioptiou bill through the
house is still entertained by Chairman
Hatch, of the committee on agriculture,
and he will soon have a consultation
with the leading advocates of the meas
ure. He has not yet introduced a bill on
the subject, partly because ho wishes to
make a fight to have it referred to his
committee and parti' because bo is con
sidering some changes in the text of tho
measure. Colonel Hatch does not re
gard tho amendment adopled in tho
bouse rules requiring bills purporting to
raise revenue as well as actual revenue
bills to be referred to the committee on
waj's and means as of the slightest im
portance. Other members do not agree
with him and think tho new rule will
kill any effort to revive the antioptiou
nuisance.
State ScIiooU if Mines.
Washington, Oct. 10. The senate
committee on public lands authoiized a
favorable report on the bill to aid the
state schools of mines of California, Col

eral lands in each of tho states mentioned

vagabonds swoaped down upon tho
country southeast of Rock Springs and
cleaned up nearly everything in sight.

Million of rtmhets of Wheat Destroyed by
Kad TA eather In Washington.
Spokane. Wash., Oct. io. Reports
coming in show that about 3,000,000
bushels of wheat have been totally de
stroyed in this state, and that at least
3,000,000 bushels will have to be graded
down to about half price. The heavy
rain for tho last three days has in many
sections knocked down tho crop that ro
main3 uncut, and beforo it can be
harvested it will sprout and bo destroy
ed. In the northern part of tho Big
Bend country a heavy snow fell, destroy
ing all crops not harvested.

from the rain and snow will reach ?2,
500,000, but they estimate that tho

nearly 10.000.000 bushels, which is
about tho same as last year. In north

CATTLE KINGS HOLD SWAY.
lIoTt- They Have Keen Given Lenses to Val
uable Indian Lands.
Guthrie, O. T., Oct. 1-J In the bill
introduced in congress by Delegato
Flymi, providing for tho ratification of
the Kiowa and Comanche treaty, and
pretending to provide for tho early open
ing to settlement of their 3,000,000 acres
of land, appears tho following significant
clause:
"Leases mado in pursuance of the
laws of tho United States of any part of
said reservation which may bo in forco
at the timeof the ratification of congress
of this agreement shall remain in force
as if this agreement had not been made."
The real meaning of- this edauso is,
that though' congress may ratify the
treaty at oncft and pay for tho lands, tho
settlers wiil be kept out of the best por
tion of the lands for two years by tho
Texas cattlemen who have them leased
and are pasturing their herd ? there.

recognize the nomination.
