WAWISOTOX , O. C. , March 21. It Is likely
that u radical reform in the matter of the
privilege afforded member. } of extending
their spacchoi in the Houord will result from
the Investigation Into the transgressions of
Mr. Walker of Massachusetts. Ever since
the session opened there has boon n warm
political rivalry between the republican nnd
democratic representative. ! of the Bay state ,
nnd Mr. Walitor at times has had sovcral
lively bouts wlthMojsrs. Hoirand Williams.
Willlumt' Uiijmrllnmcntnry Itpiunrki.
Near the oloiu of hH tarllT speech In tbo
house last weak Mr. Walker had Just reached
nn Impassioned flight ot oratory when his
tlmo ot debate expired under the rules. As
Is the custom the house Indulgently granted
him leave to extend his spaocb In
the Hocord. Ho did oo In a very
lavish manner and added elaborations
to the speech by requesting the insertion of
headlines calculated to rivet the attention of
the reader , such as "Hot Shot for Mug
wumps : Hoar nnd Williams Shown Up , "
etc. In addition lo this Mr. Waluor , in his
extended speech , charged tno speaker with
gag-rule methods , accusing him of having
packed the coinage committee with the lioo
colnnco men nnd boldly asserted that the
democratic representatives from Massachu-
HCtts li.ul gained their scats by fraud.
Immediately after the appearance of this
speech in the Hecord .Mr. Williams called
attention to what ho assorted was an Infrac
tion of the rules nnd , alt r n lively debate ,
Mr. Walker's whole speech wa.i referred to
the committee on printing , with int > tructlons
to report on Its propriety and us to wnethor
It should bo stricken from the Congressional
Hecord.
Ordered It Stricken from Iho Hecord.
The committee today submitted a report
which reviews the speech in dctiil nnd pre
sents a a resolution , declaring that Iho house ,
dooming it its duty to see that tbo courtesy
nnd decorum demanded by parliamentary
law and practice should characterize tbo
debate and conduct of members nt all times
in their otllcial relations , hereby expresses
Its disapproval of the unparliamentary lan-
auago used by lion. Joseph Walker , n rep
resentative ot Massachusetts in that pot-
lion nf his speech printed In the Hecord of
tbo 17th Inst. , but which was not dcliveiod
nn the floor , and considering it impracticable
to separate the unp.irllamcntury portions of
the speech from such parts ns may bo parlia
mentary , recommends that Iho whole of Iho
undelivered portion of the speech bo ex
punged from tbo Hecord.
Mr. Uoutciio ot the ropuolicau side ob
jected to the consideration of the report and
Chairman Hlchardson of the committee on
printing finally agreed that it should bo
printed In tbo Hecord nnd bo culled up for
consideration tomorrow.
Tboro is little doubt that Mr. Boutollo nnd
other republicans will defend Mr. Walker ,
although the report of the committee recom
mending the eradicating of tbo remarks was
unanimously concurred in by both Hides.
Mr. Enloo stated that ho bad information
that there wns a ring in the coast survey ,
and presented a resolution asking for u state
ment on the subject uy the secretary of the
treasury. Passed.
Army Appropriation lllll.
Tbo house then went into committee of the
Vtholo on the army appropriation bill.
A long discussion took place during the
consideration ot the bill over a point of order
raised by Mr. Cruin ol Texas against a proviso
vise In the bill , that hereafter no money np-
preprinted for nrmv transportation shall be
used in tlio payment of transportation ol
troopi nnd supplies of the army over the non-
aided lines owned , controlled or operated by
tbo Union Pucillo railway or by theSonthcrii
Pacific over lines embraced in Us Pacific
system.
The chairman , In the cloar-cut language
which always charactcrl/.os his remarks , sus
tained the point of order , the principal
ground for his decision being that the proviso
vise made a permanent law.
Then Mr. Outhwalto offered an amend
ment mailing the same provision , but making
It apply only to the present bill.
This wan agreed to and the committee hav
ing arisen the bill was passed.
f. Considered the Free Wool lllll.
. The house Ibon wont into committee of
the whole , Mr. Blount In the chair , on the
free wool bill.
Mr. Goodnight assailed the protection sys
tem.
tem.Mr. . Snodgrass of Tennessee consumed his
tlmo In opposition to the bill donating $5OUO-
000 to the World's fair. Ho contended thut
representatives in congress in making this
appropriation would violate the constitution
and would do so in direct violation of the
oath which the members took at the bar ol
the houso. The committee then rose and the
house adjourned.

WASHINOTOX , D. C. , Mirjh 21. Mr. Tsui
xwo Gin , the Chluoso minister , hai prepared
a letter to tbo secretary of state urging an
ently response W the various communica
tions that the Chinese government has sent
to Hits government , with reforonej to the re
striction of Chlncsu tmmlgratija. Owing to
the continued illness ot Mr. tilnlno the latter
lias not been scon , but there is ht'.lo doubt
that it will bo forwarded to the State de
partment within n very few days.
The Star tonight prints nn Interview with
the minister In which he says : "For several
yean , iu fact over since I have been In this
country , I have boon endeavoring to seeuro
bettor treatment 'for my people at the hands
of the United Stains. To this end I have for
warded a number of letters to the State depart
ment statlni ? our position , but as yet I have
received no satisfactory answer. If the
United States wishes to put n atop to
Chlnow Immigration it should be done by
moins of a trcaly with my country. For the
United States to agree to n treaty providing
for Ilia admission of Chinese and then to
override it by congress is hardly acting in
good faith. Ono sldo has nil to say and the
other side is not considered nt all. By your
constitution you encourage Immigration nud
insure fair treatment of nil alike , and yet
your treatment of the Chinese is inconsist
ent with the constitution nud the principles
laid down bv George Washington. "
"Thoro is ono quotlion I would like to nsk
you , " said the reporter. "If the UniUd
Stales puts further restriction on Chinese
immigration will China exclude Americans
from her territory i"
The answer was u long tltno lu coming and
was n ulplomaiio ono :
"It seems to mo that the Amencani should
consider the situation uud withdraw from
China of their own free will. I will answer
your question by asKing you ono. Suppose
that the American minister in London should
say to Iho Chinese minister : 'You keep nwn >
from the American legation. I uou't want
you here. ' Do you think iho Cninoso minis
ter would visit thn legation again , nnd do
you think the minister would expect much 01
a welcome at the Chinese legation I You
may draw your own inferences. The Amer
ican people are talking a great deal about
reciprocity just now. They should remember -
bor that reolprpcU.v works two ways. "

WAsnixornx , D. C. , March 21. The text
of Lord Salisbury's last note on the Bering
sea quo < > llon Is still kepi n profound secret.
It is believed it lit not satisfactory. There
js , a Krnwiug sentiment' that the Unlteil
States will bo compelled to take energetic
measures to protect the seals.
It Is Impossible to obtain any ofllcinl in
formation concerning the note received Irom
Lord Salisbury yesterday on the Boring sea
question. The unusual rellceonc.i of iho
ofllcluls on Iho subject is said to bo in accord
ance with strict instructions , direct from the
president , that the communication shall bo
withheld from the public at least until nftci
its submission to Ibo senate.
General Foster , who Is representing the
State department in this matter , had two in
terviews with the president on the subject
today , ono early in the day and the other in
the afternoon , nnd the impression is general
thut they considered the character of tbo re
