CHICAOO , May 11) ) . Emory E. Storra
returned to Chicago to-day , after an ab
aonco in Now York and Washington of
nine weeks.
"What news do you bring back with
you ? "
"Encouragement very material for
the friends of Arthur ; I will not aay that
he ia my choice , but if ho were and I do-
aircd somebody else above him , I should
bo obliged in justice to concede that ho
is gaining strength all the timo. I have
collateral clientage in Now York , and I
been spending seven weeks with the
solidests business men there , they all say
Arthur is tha man of their choice ; one
after another. The solid and conserva
tive business interest , pronounce that
Arthur is the safest man of all. "
AN ILL WIND.
"What effect has the Now York panic
had on the presidential question ? "
"It has had the very decided effect of
strengthening sentiment for Arthur ; it
has had the effect of convincing the
people that by conservative administra
tion can recurrences bo avoided , and it
has had effect greater than all , showing
the danger of a change in the policy of
the administration and thn risk run in
placing at head of nation } , 'lo man who
is too inexperienced 'or r'ato success
fully steer the craft. ' $
KANSAS FOB HIM.

ceived hero aud within the state within a
few days from both Senators Plumb and
Ingalls saying that they favor the nomi
nation of Arthur on the ground that ho is

Arthur will hayo fully halt of Kansas'

CASSIDY ON TIIjDEN.
THAT PA01FIO COAST VISITATION.
WASHINGTON , May 19. RsprosontA'
tivo Cassidy , of Nevada , to-day said the
visit of the Pacific coast delegation to
Tilden Bomo wcoka since has given rise
to many erroneous impressions through
out the country. This resulted , ho said ,
from the fact that all sorts of aliened interviews -
torviows wore published broadcast , which
never took place at all , with any mem
ber of the delegation. Continuing Cas
sidy said : "Tho visit to Gramorcy park
was
prjllELY SOCIAL ,
and originated in this way : Represent-
tivo Spriggs , of Utica district , Now \ork ,
is an old and intimate friend of Governor
Tilden , Judge SprigRS being about to go
to Now York , invited mo to accompany
him and wo wont together to pay our re
spects to the distinguished statesman
Later the party was enlarged to include a
portion of a delegation from California.
As the visit was purely social and wholly
' of propriety it
non-political' as a sense
was demanded that the delegation should
refrain from rushing into print , but Iho
object of the visit having been misinterpreted
roted and widely misrepresented , 1 fno
it is simply just to disclose
ALL THAT TOOK PL.U'H.
Governor Tilden received the patty with
great cordiality and the interview lasted
nearly an hour. While its true that one
of his arms is nfllictod his general health is
remarkably good , not too robust. Tlio
governor throw back the heavy folding
doors in presence of his visitors and mov
ed about with as much activity as a man
of forty. Ill's mind is as strong nnd clear
as over before in his life , as to his ability
to stand the fatigue and excitement of
the campaign , I think his chances in that
direction will bo as good as these of any
other man. The only reference made to
1'OLITICS
was when the member of the delegation ,
addressing Tildon said : 'Governor , wo
are all your friends. Wo are all Tildon
men , as are all democrats on the Pacific
coast. " In reply the governor said : 'I
am not a Tildon man , ' which was construed
struod by someof the visitors aaadoclara -
tion that ho would not bo a candidate for
the presidency. For my own part I left
Tildon in a firm conviction , judging from
all surroundings that ho
WOULD GLADLY ACCEPT
the nomination if tendered him by the
Chicago convention. I may bo mistaken
about it , but certainly came away with
that opinion. "
WASHINGTON NOTES.
THE LABOR IIUUEAU.
Special Dispatch to THE BEK.
WASHINGTON , May 19. While the
bill to create a bureau of labor statistics
wan before the senate to-day , Senator
Van Wycl proposed two amendments ,
\ a to appoint as commissioner a person
identified with labor interests ; the ether
to mixko inquiries as to all foreign immi
gration under contract , and , said : To
make this bill of any value , the chief
oflicor should bo 0110 identified with
labor.
rOUEION LABOH.
Why stop at inquiry into Chinese im
migration ? Direct it to all foreign
labor coming hero under contract. The
latter is more destructive of American
interests.
True it may interfere with the privi
lege heretofore exorcised by iron and
glass manufactures to supply contract
labor from Europe , and thus take the
bread from the mouths of our own people.
All the labor organizations demand the
above amendments.
You say they ask for this bill. See to it ,
when they ask for broad , you do not give
them a stono.
Wo can and should legislate to day in
the interest of labor , and not wait for the
creation of any bureau.
THE POSTAL TELEOUAPII.
Three-fourths of the American people
are demanding the establishment of
postal-telegraph ; forfeiture of unearned
lands by railroads ; the rescue of what is
loft of the public domain from the grasp
of companies , native or foreign , from
fraudulent preemptions , timber culture
and desert entries , and reserving the
same for homesteads for actual settlors.
These and many ether measures impera
tively demand , but receive but little at
tention in congress.
THE UAILUOADH.
The result of rccklesj and extravagant
legislation at the demand of railroads , is
upon us. This panic is worse than com
munism. Congress and the courts are
responsible.
THE COUKTS
have been ready to supplement when
congress failed to yield to all the do-
inauds of greed.
The result of our laws and their ad
ministration has boon to produce riots
in Cincinnati and panics in Now York

Ingalls , from the committee on judici
ary , the bill to establish another judicial
by dividing the Eight circuit , which now
embraces the dmtriotsof Minnesota , Iowa ,
Missouri , Nebraska , Kansas , Arkansas
and Colorado. The Eighth circuit under
this bill includes the district of Nebraska ,
Kansas , Arkansas and Colorado , The
Ninth circuit includes the district of
Minnesota , Iowa and Missouri.
The chair laid betoro the senate a re
solution , ottered Thursday by Morgan ,
directing the commit too on finance to
examine the cauo of the recent failures of
the national banks , and whether such
failures were duo to violation and evasion
of the law on Iho part of officers or directors - ,
tors of the banks.
Merrill moved to amend by substituting
fur the purpose of investigation by the
comptroller of currency for the finance
committee.
Mun an 8'iid the very reason why ho
moved to dissolve the duty of the com
niitteo was because the oflleera appointed
to see that thu bankn oumjiluu with the
laws had nut performed their duty. There
waa , for instance , .1 law againat thu over-
certification of choukH , which it had be
come notorious wus utterly disregarded

people of Now York had not boon alarm
ed , the .securities specially alFoctod had
boon those involved in transactions ex
posed by failures , but the confl
uence tn the standiml securities of
the country had not Buffered.
It was like the case of a storm , confined
to the locality of Now York city , and not
extending over any ether part of the
country. It had resulted in clearing the
atmosphere , and he behoved that at
present the commercial position was bet
ter than before the trouble.
Morgan said the fears of the senator
from Ohio ( Shotmiui ) were groundless , if
ho supposed any injury could come to
the proper business of country by the in
vestigation proposed. The business of
the country did not mean the operations
of slock gamblers.
Morgan criticised the action of the
noctutury of the troaury for his interfer
ence in the lalo trouble , and the otlicors
of the government generally , for not see
ing that the kinking laws were enforced.
\Vo might i > well , ho said , farm out the
credit of the United States to fnro deal
ers of Pennsylvania avenue , as to allow
the National lunks of Now York to farm
out their crotlit to slock gambling and
speculative operators. Tlio resolution
was referred to the committee on finance.
A resolution was ottered which wont
over until to-morrow , directing the committee -
mitteo on public lands to make inquiry
whether \ the Now Orleans , Baton llotigo
and rt Vicksbttn , ' R. R. expended money
rC to t influence congressional action. The
chair having announced regular order to
bo 1i 1 Iho Utah bill , Hoar consented to lot
1i it i go oTortompornrilyand the bill for the
creation of a bureau labor statistics was
taken t up.
Morgan addressed the senate in sup
port of Garland's amendment , which
places the collection of labor statistics in
charge of tlio statistical bureau of the
treasury department.
Van Wyck moved to amend by requir
ing that tlio chief of the bureau should bo
a poison identified with the laboring
classes aud prohibiting the importation
of foreign laborers from any country
under contract.
Pending the debate on the bill the sen
ate went into executive session and soon
adjourned. Before adjournment Halo
gave notice that to morrow ho would call
up thu agricultural appropriation bill.
The legislative , executive and judicial
bill , as reported by the house , makes the
appropriation $20,730,870 , an increase of
§ 83,190 over the current appropriation.

Tlio house then , on Motion of Randal' ' ,

The army and District of Columbia ap

nioved to suspend the f uleu and adopt a
resolution to make the sonata bankruptcy
bill a special order for Tuesday , Juno
10th.
10th.Culboraon
Culboraon , ( Texas ) favored motion.
WilliH thought iho bankruptcy bill should
nut be pasHed until the prehidontial elec
tion waa over. The bankrupt law was
demoralizing nnd promotive of dishon-
onty. At this very time Wull street was
in a maelstrom ot speculation and great
muni's were resting under a shadow of
disgrace on account of that speculation.
Congress should neb encourage this by
the passage of a buikrupt law which
would openito as injury to the public
morul , and would woik ruin to thous
ands of widows and orphans.
llnliui'H and Moulton opposed the bill ,
Collins said ho was not to bo deterred
from bin advocacy of the bill by any sug
gestion in to the imminence of the presi
dential election. Let it coma with all
ianuos that might bo involved. Ho dtd
not believu tha paaangu of a bankruptcy
act would militate against the intercuts of
