April -I A vetoot
the anti-Chinese bill reached the senate
ate at 1:20 : p. m. The prsMtdent says
that ho is fully persuaded that the
bill is is violation of the treaty , and
other remedies for the alleged evils
should bo found if ho accepts the bill
as nn expression of opinion from congress
gross that the immigration and rest
dunce of Chinese in this country nro
injurious to the people.
In negotiating the second treaty
the Chinese commissioner told China
that he would not consent to the ex
clusion of nil Chinese from the United
States , and the United States com
miasiouors agreed to substitute for the
word "prohibit1 words "regulate , "
"limit" or "suspend. " China then
g.wo her views that classes > , t Chinese
who onioyed the provision of the
Eurlingnmo treaty were entitled to
the priviledgo enjoyed by most na
tlons. The system of personal pros
pects was undcmocratic'nnd hostile to
our institutions. Tlio bill also made
provisions that the Chinese trade was
valuable nnd p recent crowth , and
needed more liberal legislation. On
motion of Mr. Farley the message
was laid on the table and ordered
printed.
Consideration of the bill giving the
St. Louia & San Francisco railroad
the right of way through the terri-
torj' of the Choctaw nation was re
sumed. Further consideration of the
bill was deferred until to-morrow.
On motion of Mr. II ill the Colora
do bill , admitting free from , duty ! ir-
ticlea for the mining exhibition at
Denver in 1883 , was taken up and
passed.
The following nominations were
Bent to the senate yesterday and con
sidered in executive ression :
John J. Piatt , of Ohio , for consul
at Cork ; D B. Scarles , United States
attorney of Minnesota : Benjamin T.
Simpson'United States marshal of
Kansas.
HOUSE.
The committee on territories re
committed the Alaska bill to a sub
committee , with orders to prepare a
bill for a simple government and no
delegate. They also authorized the
bhairman to give passage of the Da
kota bill under suspension of the
rules on the third Monday in April.
The house committee on elections
adopted a report in favor of Lynch
and against Chalmor in the ShoeString
String district of Mississippi.
The house spent the entire after
noon on the army bill , discussing the
paragraphs transferring quartermas
ters' claims to the court of claims and
retiring army officers at C2 years of
age , but arrived at no conclusion , ex
cept to amend BO as to allow ofllcors
to retire at 35 years' service , if they
desire.
The pros-dent sent a letter from
Frelinghuyson regarding American
citizens in the British prisons. It
says that negotiations have been go
ing on for months between the two
governments , and that on the 22d of
March only three American citizens
remained in prison in Ireland. Since
that date O'Oonnoll ' , Hunt , Walsh ,
Dalton and White , imprisoned in
England , have boon roloased. Nego
tiations are still going on to release
the remainder , and are likely to bo
successful.

1IOW THE DOSIJ WAS TAKEN.
WASHINGTON , April 4. The veto of
the Chi.icso bill is the solo topic to
night. Politicians nro divided as to
the effect. It is concluded that the
bill will not pass over the veto. The
democrats think it will redound to
their benefit. The Pacific delegation
lias boon disappointed and are almost
nmd. Miller thinks it a great mis
take from a republican point of vioiv ,
but doubts not that California will
'
take the matter in her own hands and
keep the Chinese away. Is
Farley eays the democrats ot Cali
fornia can stand it if the republicans
of the whole country can. Bayard
will vote to sustain the bill , also ;
Book , Pondlotan and nearly all the
democrats. Beck says the bill is. kill- '
d , and ho does not suppose anything
can bo done. Jones says the presi
dent puts himself in a silly light m
suggesting any form of bill that would
auit him. The republicans generally
are satisfied , except Miller , of Cala-
fornin , and Hill , of Colorado. Jones , bo
of Nevada , la not hero. Miller , of
Now York , Sawyer and Vnlo , of the
aoven republicans who voted for the
bill , will now yoto to sustain the voto.
Paoheco , of California , said he very
much regretted the matter , as it would
cause great agitation on the Pacific
coast and injure business and upset
things in general. B/osecranz
said ho supposed they would have
to stand it , but it was pretty tough.
It was the deathblow politically to
these bringing it about. Hewitt said
lie presumed it would bo passed with
n ton years clause insted of twenty.
It would hardly pass the house over
C the veto , oven if it did pass the aon-
ate , and there was no disposition to
push in this matter. Moore , of Ten
nessee , who opposed the bill , had
doubts even of its passage with the
.ten years clause. Carpenter , of
Town , who opposed the bill , did not
believe it would injure the party , for
no parly could bo injured permanent
ly lor refusing to do wrong. Ooortro ,
of Oregon , thought it n dangoroui
blow to the Republicans ; it was nn
injustice to the Pacific const nnd the
people of that section. Willis , of
Kentucky ; , a champion of the bill ,
SAYS it insures the Pacific coast to
the Democrats. Kobinion , of Massa
chusetts , was satisfied with the veto ,
and was sure it would not hurt the
party prospects. No party could af
ford ( o do a wrong not for efi'cct.
Williams , of Wisconsin , chairman of
the foreign nfl'airs committee , was
pleased with the vote , and , while ho
would oppose the bill with even n five
or ten years clause , ho presumed that
such n bill would pass. If the Chi
nese were to bo excluded , ho thought
it should bo by treaty to thnt effect ,
by which China would keep her sub
jects nt hcine. Page , of Californin ,
refused to express himself on the
subject. Kosson thought this the
only construction n thinking man
could roach , Ho thought tlio ton
years bill would pass Vith n change

ELECTION DAY IN TDK 'AV1TAL CITY.
Correspondence of Tlio Ortiiihn Jlco.
LINCOLN , April 4. The city oleo-
.ion to-day is exciting an unusual
amount of interest in this plnco of
nammoth majorities nnd one-sided
political contests. Bands of music
are perambulating the streets nnd
crowds of voters surround the three
polling places. The chances , of
course , favor the election of the
straight republican ticket , by a ro
apcctable majority. The coalitionists
expect to defeat Gaimes , the regular
nominee for alderman in the First
Ward , and elect Shaborg in his stead.
It is also 'vithin the limit of possibili
ties that Uon. Montgomery may defeat -
feat Bon Cobb for police judge. The
latter is young and inexperienced ,
having just boon admitted to the bar.
The chances ser the success of the
antis would bo greatly increased if
there were only some means of shut
ting Elder Miller off. His loud
mouthed advocacy of the ticket will
cost them a hundred votes.
The weather iv very favorable , for
election purposes , a hard rain last
night having laid the dust completely.
Yesterday waa certainly ono of the
neanest days that over dawned upon
; his place. The dust blue around in
dense clouds from morning till night ,
making it at times impossible to see

The governor is as non-committal
as over on the subject of an extra
session. Notwithstanding his serious
protestations of innocence on the
ecoro of further political ambition ,
there is no question in the mind of
any close observer here that ho wants
to go to congress this winter , and that
if ho dared to resist the overwhelm
ing popular sentiment in favor of n
meeting of the legislature he would
gladly do so.

and producing death , instantly.
Meanwhile the young Jnan had

several shots were fired between

liad ridden.
Hearing his other non coming
lown the stairs ho fired two shols

shot gun , ho could do no more and

A TREASURE TROVE
Jnearthed While Making an
Excavation for a Sewer.
A Genuine Bonanza Struck by "Cluck'
on Hagorty" Yeatordny.
The joy that permeated the frame
of Edward D.xntcs when ho uncovered
.he wealth of gold and glittering gems
on the barren isle of Monte Oristo ,
or that swelled in the bosom of Con
Jregan when ho turned up the won
derful treasures while digging u grave
'or n minor in the gold region of
juajnqunlla , must have boon a com-
j'mation of feelings similar to those
which surged through the breast of
tlr. John . Haggorty whenhorostod
lis oycs on a crock full of gold , silver
and paper money which waa found on
iis promises yesterday. Mr. Hag-
; orty is an old resident of St. Louis ,
and drives a good business in poultry
and game at No. ! ) ll Broadway under
; hp firm name of Haggorty & Son.
His residence is at No. ! U1 Collinu
street , and has been for the past sev
enteen years. The house in which he
ivos is an old one , and in the days
when it waa n mansion with white
walls and clean appearance it was the
mme of Montgomery Blair.

and previous to hia departure from St.
liouis , sold it to Samuel Gaty , Esq. ,
rom whom Mr. Hngorty purchased it

Yesterday morning at half-past 11
o'clock two men employed by Mr.
lagcrty , named Daniel Shields nnd
Thomas Hiqgitia , while digging a
ronch in which to run n sewor-pipo
rom an outhou.so to the Collins street $
sewer , on llogerty's lot , struck tlipir
spades against something very solid ,
jhiolds stooped down nnd removed the
clay to find the dimensions of the ob
stacle met with. The obstacle proved
o bo a otono jar or crock , similar to
is termed "buttor'crock"and
vhnt n , ,
with the aid of his companion and the
> owcr of curiosity , ho unearthed the
ussel , which proved to bo decidedly
icavy and tested the strength of tie )

louse they proceeded to open the

.hickly scaled with wax. The cpvor

what they had only seen before in
airy-story books , a veritable pot of
{ old and silver. They inserted their
lands into the blackened metal und
lulled out whole hnndfulo of gold ami
ilyor coin. Tlioy rung them , bit >
.hem , teHtod tliom in every way ,
ookod at the dates , and when they
ound it wiia really good money they
actually cried out for joy. Just then
Tagarty appeared and took posses-
aioii. Ho brought the crock nnd the
coin into the lioune , brightened up
ho time colored metal , und turned
ho whole treasure out into a wash- )
lib. This revealed to his ga/.o a
small amount of Continental scrip- ,
rhicli was down in the coin. The
gold and silver and paper were sop- '
itatod. The paper nmountod to
tbout $200 , the silver , mostly in del
ors , with n few half-dollar pio'coa ,
was in such a quantity as to com
pletely conceal the bqtton of the
wash-tub , and the gold coin was in
oven

* Ire. Hagerty put the gold into a
dish-pan , which tilled out one-half the
space in the pun. The gold consisted
nostly of English sovereigns. Noth-
ng less than n soyoreign was found
among the cold coin. How much it
all amounts to has not yet boon nscer-
.aiiiud , Mr , Hagerty immediately
icld a love feast , and gave put coins
rrooly as mementoes to his friends ,
and during the course of the day pur
chased a house and lot on Broadway
of Marcus A , Wolff for seven thou
sand dollars.
A Republican reporter last night
about 11 o'clock , in company with
