Mr. Bayard insisted the mnssage was unfinished business. ) After discussion of the point of order to take the veto message from the tible , Mr. Harris moved to post pone all unfinished business until to morrow. Mr. Bayard siid thorojras great excitement - citoment in California and ho wanted ; Q know what the senator ? from Oali- 'ornia thought as to imtnoJiato action. Mr. Farley said a riot might break out to-day in San Francisco and urged 'mmcdiato action. Mr. Sherman remarked there was 10 danger of an outbreak or violence" , tie thought the usual business oughl o bo proceeded with and the Chinese ) ill referred to the committee on for eign relations. . , ; Mr. Farley did not think any good could result from referring or post poning the matter. ItHvas a question whether the bill could Vo passed over the veto or not. j- Mr. Sherman thought other legis lation might'tako place which would not conflict with the president's ' views. Mr. Farley strenuously objected to any postponement. His colleague had introduced a bill before ho knew whether the present measure would become .a law or not. The introduc tion of the bill was J3r/v jatur'o. Mr. D.iwos opposou present'cdnBicl- oration of the message. Mr. In alls urq'od that if the ques tion could not bo disposed of by the now bill , it ought to bo considered and disposed of now. After further debate unfinished busi ness was laid aside and the veto mes sage was taken up. Mr. Sherman moved to refer it to the committee on foreign relations. In the debate as to reference , the chair hold that reference would not carry out the spirit of the constitution , inasmuch as bills referred were sel dom reported. Mr. Morgan appealed from the de cision of the chair. Debate ensued , and Mr. Morgan withdrew his appeal , stating that the senate evidently desired to vote on the question. Mr. Sherman urged the objections to the measure were sufficient to cause thorn to pause and have the question fully discussed in the committee. Mr Sherman spoke half an hour in favor of reference , urging that the bill opposed the spirit of the treaty , and that the Chinese government had a perfect right to regard it as a viola tion. AVhilo wo should regard the in terests of California's citizens , wo should not pass a law that is a disgrace to the statute books nnd antagonistic to the letter and spit it qf the consti tution Mr. Garland contended that the committee could give no further lighten on the matter. The only question was whether the bill should or should not pass over the voto. Mr. Morgan said it appeared that the Chinese minister had boon al lowed to make suggestions in regard to the pending legislation , and the president accepted thorn in vetoing this measure. It was strange that that the ideas of the Chinese ambas sador should have more influence with the executive than the majori ties of both houses of congress. IIo ' supposed'it wah simply an effort to smother the bill. Mr. Bayard contended that reference enco was wholly and utterly useless. If the bill was to die lot its friends say so , but do not undertake by refer ence to change its features. All that could bo done now was to vote whether to make it a law ever the voto. Ho objected to the language used in the message , saying there was no justification for it , cither in fact or committee traditions of communica tion and dignified and respectful con sideration of ono branch of the gov ernment by the other. The language was an impugnment of these who passed the mcaauro after careful de liberation. Ho denounced the Bur- lingamo treaty as a humbug. The same spirit as led to it wanted to present a measure to fail. There was no word word in the vote message of sympa thy with citizens of the Pacific coast , but that was a Chinese message from beginning to end. IIo earnestly hoped the bill would pass over the voto. A motion to refer the bill was lost bv IB to U2 , as follows : „ Allinuativo Messrs. Aldrich , AH Platr , Sawyer , Sherman and Wiudom.

A communication was received from ; ho president transmitting the report of the secretary of state in regard to the resolution of March 27 as to the American citizens in British prisons. The report cites British parliament ary action in the premises in March , LS81 , and gives Blaino's ( then sccro- ary ) instructions to Lowell , in which 10 said : "If American citizens , while within British jurisdiction , offended against British laws , this government vill not seek to shield them from the egal consequcnco of their act , but must insist upon the application to ; hbir cases of those common piinci- tics of criminal jurisprudence which n the United States secures to every o every eno who offends against ho laws , whether an Amori- an citizen' or a foreign ubject , that the accused person shall mmodiatoly upon arrest for a specific crime or oflonso upon which ho is hold , > o offered an opportunity for speedy rial bcjoro an impartial court- and ury. Those are essential to every iriminal prosecution , and necessity like to the protection of innocence and to ascertain guilt. " The report further says that Michael Boynton was found not to have boon n American citizen and doubt is ex- jresaed as to Henry Mahonoy's nntu- alization.

J5oth York and New York nro jubi- ant ever the results of the election. [ have waited until the votes were Bountod to-nigS * . Itoth towns have gone temperance by strong majorities. The record of York on the temper ance question is well known. It has joon from the first almost as a unit. New York , on the other side of the railroad truck , was organi/.od and run ndopondont , and on purpeso proba bly , to show the people of York and the rest of the world that saloons wore of prime importance , and that no community could thrive without them. For a few ycara they gave the subject n faithful test. They had the decided advantage of position. They might liavo soi/ed the favorable moment and secured tho' seminary and won the day. JJut they began with a saloon first , and the very ground scorned poisoned by their influence. No monet ot wealth came in , and , though they had the depot and four fine elevators , and by far the finest location , they saw the old town go nhoad of almost any young city in _ the state , while they stood still. To-day they have swept the whole thing clean and have elected a tem perance board by a fine majority , while old York has made the moat swooping record yet , electing her now temperance mayor , Stevens , by ever 175 majority , .Both towns fool jubilant - lant and will soon have a monster rat ification moot'ng. The whole tem perance question has .been ably hun died by the leading citizens , and it it recognized that at least CO per cent , has bcon added to their wealth by their fidelity to this cause. It hna been sqimroly tested that temperance is by far the snfost : and further , that there is money in it. I find , after a few months' absence , that this city is also on the boom. The line opera house is Hearing completion .and puonlo are oouring in to secure the advantages of the seminary. It seems good to got baok to this land of plenty after a residence for months in thu great Sihnrn. A fine rain has succeeded a terrible dust bll.n\rdand the prospects for crops are fino.
