TROUBLESOME CHINESE PROBLEMS. The Subject Up in Senate and House The Rock Springs Massacre Discussed. The Senate. THE CHINESE QUESTION, aC. In the Senate to-day, Mr. Mitchell submitted @ concurrent resolution expressing it to be the sense of Congress that negotiations should be entered into between the United States and Chinese governments with a view to securing such modification of the present treaty with China as may result in stopping the coming of Chinese to this country except in the case of diplomats and their servants, and except also in the ease of persons at sca’ driven to seek & place of shelter, ‘The concurrent resolution was referred to the committee on forelgn relations. ‘Mr. Stanford gave notice that on the 27th instant he would submit resolutions in respect to the death of his late colleague, Mr. Miller. THE INTERSTATE COMMERCE BILL. Consideration of the interstate commerce bill was then resumed. The bill having been completed as in com- mittee of the whole, the question was on agree- ing in the Senate to the amendments agreed to in cominittee, A protracted debate arose on the various amendments, especially the amendments to the long and short haul clause. In the course of the debate Mr. Ingalls said the bill was be- coming more and more metaphyseal us It pro- eceded, Mr. Miller remarked that {t would not be metaphysical to practical ratiroad men. Mr, Ingulls replied that the trouble was that Senators were not practical railroad men, but, were dealing with practical raliroad questions House of Representatives. The messages from the President yesterday Presented to the Senate were to-day submitted to the House and appropriately referred. ‘The Speaker laid before the House a commu- nication from the Grand Army of the Republic, inviting the members of the House to attend the Decoration Day ceremonies at Arlington, Referred. Also, @ communication from the 5th army corps of the Army of the Potomac, inviting the House to visit the battieflelds of South Moun- tain and Antietam on the 17th and 18th insts, Reierred, Mr, Collins (Mass.), from the committee on the judiciary, reported a bill extending the Jurisdiction of the Court of Claims for the use of patents und patented Inventions against the United States. House calendar, Mr. Hainmond (Ga,), from the same commit- tee, reported a bill to simpilly the pleadings and procedure In criminal cases in the courts of the United States and the District of Columbia, alendar, CHINESE INDEMNITY FOR THE ROCK SPRINGS MASSACRE, In the morning hour Mr. Belmont (N. ¥.), on behalf of the committee on foreign affairs, called up the joiut resolution providing an in- demnity to certaia Chinese subjects for losses sustained within the jurisdiction of the United States, ‘The resolution was considered in committee of the whole, Mr. Belmont gave a history of the Chinese massacres at Hock Springs, Wyoming. None 61 the persons engaged in the outrage appeared tobe American citizens. Rock Springs con- sisted of two settlements; one inhabited chiefly by Welshmen and Swedes, the other by Chinese, all receiving tie same rate of pay. For cist years the white and Chinese miners had lived peaccably. Last summer a strike was at- tempted to be organized by the white miners, in which the Chinese refused to take part, The evidence was clear and Satisfactory that noother cause of offense was .ven. Oni the 2d September the white miners to the number of 150 armed themselves with rifles and made an attack ou the defenceless Chinese, killing 28, wounding many others ana burning'and plundering theirquarters. By the Passage of this resolution the United States would express Its sympathy with the victims of a Wrong that the United States could not prevent nor foresee, It must be clear that the result of mob violence had only to be made known to the House to meet with the con- derination which {it merited. All considera- tions as to the responsibility of the federal gov- ernment in its relations to state and territorial Jurisdiction should be waived in the periorm- ade: ofa plain duty, Mr. Felton (Cal.) thought that if the commit- tee on foreign affairs had expended its time in mining the causes under which these out- Tages arose, if it had looked to the history of the past, it would have found that these out Tages Wel ‘he natural result of Chinese immi- ration. he committee should bave addressed its attention to remedying the evil rather than Wo palilating and paying for scenes like this, Mr. Morrow (Cal.) said that, standing alone, the measure Was of doubtiul propriety; but considering the relations between China and the United States and the necessity for further legislation and further treaty stipulation abso- jutely probibiting the immigration of Chinese subjects he was disposed to think that the benevolence of Congress might be an act of wisdom. ‘The whole affuir at Rock Springs lad been dis- graceful iu the extreme, and could not be ex- cused nor iguored. The most that could be said was that no cilizen of the United States had been engaged in the massacre, but this did not right the wrong that had been committed on American soll, Our national fame was in- volved. The question arose why did the fed- eral government assume the obligations of a local and territorial community, The answer was that no local obligations were assumed, but that because the local authorities had fuiled to enforce the law the United States would, under the peculiar clreumstances of the case’and as an act of benevolence satisty the claimants, ‘The people of the United States, and especially the people of the Pacific coast, Were deeply con- cerned in the relations between the States and China, aud the ifle coast de- manded that the immigration of Chinese labor- ers should absolutely cease. He was in favorof the resolution because it would strengthen the Executive in an attempt to secure the consent of China to puta stop to immigration, Mr. McKenna (Cal.) expressed his horror of the outrage perpeurated at Rock Springs. The House in its excited sympathy was apt to con- sider as “ican” a refusal to indemnity the victims, Butit was notclearto him thatan outbreak of race antipathies, in which no Americans | participated, notwithstanding it was made horrible by arson and murder, had any claim upon the consideration of Congress. ‘The groaning calendars of the House should ad- monish members that there were othef uses for the $147,000 than bestowing it in benevolence or squandering it in romantic and showy comity. Mr. Rice (Mass.) was unwillin; pression should go out that the fn that the im- louse was pass- ng this resolution as an act of benevolence oF anything eise than an act of international obli- gation. ‘THE ARMY APPROPRIATION BILL, Pending further discussion the morning hour expired, the committee rose, and the House again went into committee (Mr. Springer of LiHinols tn the chair) on the army appropriation ‘The District in Congress, A HALF MILLION FOR IMPROVEMENT OF THE POTOMAC, In the Senate to-day Mr. Ransom submitted the following amendmnt, to be proposed to the river and harbor bill: “For continuing the improvement of the Potomac river in the vi- cinity of Washington, with reference to the improvement in navigation, the establishment ofbarbor lives, and the raising of the flats under the direction of the Secretary of War, and in accordance with existing plans, flve hundred thousand dollars, Provided, that no Part of the suit hereby appropriated: shall be expended upon or with reference Clee fares in respect of which the title of the United States is in doubt, or in any respect of which any claim adverse to the United States hus been made.” THE WATER WORKS EXTENSION TUNNEL. The House sub-committee having in charge the appropriation tor the Washington water work extension met to-day and further pressed thelr inquiry as to the best_ method ot conduct- ing the work. Major Ludlow was before them, He pretty generally eperoeen of the method in which the work has been done, and preferred brick to concrete lining. BILLS REPORTED TO THE HOUSE. ‘The bill to probibit any but skilled and U- censed engineers from being placed in charge of steam cngines in the District of Columois: ‘Was reported to the House yesterday.

ARREARS OF TAXES, In the Senate to-day Mr. Ingalls introduced 6 bill, which was referred to the District commit- ‘tee, to direct the District Comuniesionore to pre. | perce. list of all taxes on real Property subject taxation upon which taxes are in arrears on. July ist, 1886, and each year thereafter, in- cluding all taxes due to the late corporation of ‘Washington and Georgetown, the county and the District; and the Commissioners shall pub- lish the list, with notice of sale, in a pan hiet of which not less than 5,000shall be clreulated. The Commissioners shall on the first Tuesday in September, 1886, and each year thereafter, give notice by advertising twice a week for three conseentive weeks in two daily newspa- pers of the District that the. phiet has been printed and copies may be ‘Mt their office, und that ifthe accrued taxes are not paid b: the day flxed for sale the property will be sol at public auction three weeks aiter the publi- cation of the first notice. Capitol Toptes. RAILROADS AND COURTS, Representative Reagan, of Texas, will intro- dace a bill in the House and attempt to secure its passage this session providing tltat railroads shall not be operated by recetvers for a period exceeding one year, and Gefining more mi- nutely what acts shall be construed as con- tempt of court. The purpose of the bill is to prevent a repetition of the acts of the judge of the court in the case of the Texas Pacific, where it was held that all the employes of tho rail- road became officers of the court, and could not stop work or exercise any other privilege of an American citizen without being subject to im- prisonment for contempt of court. MILLIONS PAID TO FOREIGN SHIPS, An official statement to Congress by Mr. N. Bell, superintendent of foreign mails, shows that from 1848 to 1885, inclusive, the sum of $82,184,950.57 was paid t» vessels carrying the American flag for ocean transportation of U.S. mails, GEN. ROSECRANS’ DEFENSE, Gen. Rosecrans has sent to the Senate com- mittee on finakce a written statement in answer to the charge that he was connected with certain alleged land frauds in California, He does not deny the transaction, but says he did nothing which was not, according to the advice of his lawyers, perfectly legal, and that his action has since been sustained by the courts. The transuctions covered about 800 acres Of land in the vicinity of Los Angeles. THE INTERSTATE COMMERCE BILL occupied the attention of the Senate all of yes- terday without a final vote being reached. Several amendments were adopted. A reprint ofthe bill containing these was ordered. One amendment provides that the restrictions of the bill as to reduced fares shall not apply to ministers of the gospel, members of agricul- tural conventions and army and society meet- ings, Another provides that the word unlaw- tul be applied to discriminations condemned by the bill so as to bring breaches of its pro- visions withiu the technical meaning of the penal clause.

The old troubles were atred, throwing off accumu- lated bitterness, Mr. Grosvenor, of Ohio, who was one of Gen, Hazen’s attorneys in his last court-martial trial, moved to strike out the pro- visions in the army appropriation bill, which was under discussion, for the support of the Judge advocate general's oflice. He said the department would be remembered for its errors, Mr. Wheeler, of Alabama, who 1s an ex-con- federate general, admitted the past errors of the judge advocate general's department, and instanced it in connection with the statement that Gen, Hoit bad been appointed for the pur- pose of striking down Gen, McClellan. Mr. Hepburu accused Gen. Wheeler of slan- dering President Lincoln, Gen. Bragg dented that there was any slur on. Mr. Lincoln in what Gen, Wheeler had said. ‘The geutlemen on the other side liked to shield themselves by dodging behind Mr. Lincoln's great coat. It was Mr, Stanton, not Mr. Lil coin, the gentleman from Alabama had re- ferred to. Gen. Wheeler denied that he had ever ut- tered a word against Mr. Lincoln, It had be- come his duty in this House todefend Abrabam Lincoln agaiust the assaults made by republi- cans tu their efforts to crush and destroy the bravest man that had ever led their armies to victory. Ithad become his duty to deiend the reat general, U. 8. Grant from gross charges rought against him on this tloor—chi sin pagning his motives, his integrity and his ability. He had made no charge against Abra- ham Lincoln. ‘The charges had been against the arch-conspirator, Mr. Stanton—[hisses on the republican side]—who had sought and at- tempted to break down officers of the army who had not sustained the lineof policy he had Sought to inaugurate. ir, Hepburn said that this “arch conspira- tor” had been at the head of the federal army. ‘He was the man who had directed the maneu. vers of thaturmy.

GRISWOLD, OF THE ANACOSTIA COMPANY, opened the hearing with an argument in be- halfof permission to extend his route so as to afford direct access to the markets, He con tended thatsuch an extension would be only Just to the company, President Hurt, of the W.and_G. company, objected, us the streets near the market are al: ready occupied, TRE PROPOSED TRACTION RAILROAD, Mr. Boyer, engincer of the projected Traction company, address¢d the committeo in support of his bill, which he said had been favorably re- ported trom the House committee. He ex- plained the mechanism of the proposed road and sald this plan of roads had met with un- ifled success in other cities, He added that negotiations Were In progress among the incor- Dorators named In the several pending bills to consolidate upon one compact and adequate system. He asserted that the Traction com- pany wouid provide the people of Washington with a system of transportation far superior to that now existing; that it would afford superior facilities and comforts and would. establish its fyatem without coming Into conillet with exist ing lines, Mr. Read, attorney for the Traction company, also presented whathe claimed to be the supe jor merits of that system. He maintained th: their plan could Ye carried out without inter- fering with the horse railroads now in oper- ation, even where the routes of the two would come’ together or cross, ‘They could be oper- ated without any clashing. DIDN'T KNOW OF A PROPOSED CONSOLIDATION. Mr, Tyrrer, of the North Washington Cable compan: said he was not aware of pending ns for aconsolidation of the two pro- able lines under the name of the Wash- tion company. He eXpresse the opinion that the North Washington Cable com- pany could construct and operate successfully a bie Tine with advantage to the public and profit to themselves, independent of the others, or they were willing to combine upon such @ fair and equitable basis as Conzress might pre- seribe, provided the main portion of the route prescribed in their bill was allowed. Mr, J. Paul, of the North itol and Boundary Cabie company, said they could not afford to build with an allowance of less than. three miles of their route, COL, W. W, DUDLEY EXPLAINED that while the subject of consolidation nad been discussed no definite agreement had been reached; that tle cable companies were willing to unite'and build one system, stilleach could construct and operate its route without inter ference with the other. It had been subsiantl- ally agreed that It would be better for the en- tire system to be comprised in one bill, as then its features would be inore easily understood. Messrs, Tyrrer, Paul, Boyer ind others sub- mitted retharks and comments, all going to show that nothing in the shape of a delinite agreement had been reached, but that matters were tending in that direction, and that a cou- solidation would very probably be determined upon, ir. Wm. Dickson explained that the detalis necessary toa definite consolidation had not been determined. CHAIRMAN INGALLS WANTED TO KNOW ifthe proprietors of the new roads were pre- pared, in the event of favorable action by Con- ress, to begin Work promptly and push ahead in earnest The reply from the representatives of the several companies was that they meant. busi- ness; that immediately upou the granting of a charter the work of organization and construc- tion would be commenced and pushed forward to completion, It was finally agreed. to allow the representa- tives of the projected roads further time for consideration of a plan of consolidation, A CABLE CONSOLIDATION BILL. Senator Harris sald he would introduce a bill which had been prepared by representatives of the Washington Traction and Cable Electric Companies for a consolidation of their routes and {uterests, and have it printed. It was un- derstood that it should be Introduced merely as @ basis for tature action, and not as represent- ingany finalagreement. The bill will be printed, and, at another meeting of the sub-committee, tw be held withina few days, such changes will be made as are deemed desirable.
