WasinoToN, D, C., Jan. 28.—The bill to reg- ulate the fminigration of Chinese passed the House thia afterncon by more than two-thirds majority. Thers wasa great deal of Damocratle trickery in connection with the passage of this measure, Last night the Democrats leld a caucus at which it was determined Lhat po Re- publican should be allowed to speak, except against the bill, and thut no amendments should be permitted to beoffered, The Democrats alao determined thot Martin I. Townsend, of New York, who was the only Republican who had siown a deslre to SPEAK AGAINST TNE DILL, should have the entire half hoyr that would be ot the disposal of tho Repulstican side. When the blil came up the Democrata refuscd to allow even technieal amendments, as was requested by several Republicans. ‘The previons question was carried, atd Townsend was giveu his hall hour. Of this, Page, of California, was allawed by Townsend ten minutes to favor the bill, and was the only Repubtiean permitted to speak in favor of ft. The effoct of this partisan actlon on the part of the Democrats was that many Re- publicans voted agafost tho bill on sccount of the management which waa the result of the Democratic caucns, believing that the Repub- Hlean Benate would so amend the Lill that they COULD VuTE FOR IT on the final passage. The LIl was cotsldered by Conger nuel othera as imperfecl. 1t {s fear- ed that {t can bo construed to proliblt the entry fnto our harbor of u Chinese vessel-of-war or of commerce, as such vessel would carry mors than Bfteen persons, the maximum allowed by the bl that it would even present the entry of a Chinese Ewnbaysy that had more than fif- teen~Chinamen fn the suite; that, worcover, it would pevent bringlng s wrecked Chifneae erew {utofport, uud vivlute bumanitarian law.
