CHINESE I'vCliUSlOX. j The Matter Before llio S?nnto-Mr. Slier. man's Strong Fo?Uio;?. , AVashington, D. Ce, April 21. House ^ bill to prohibit absolutely tho coming , of Chineso persona into tho "United I {jtato was talien up for consideration. ( Mr. Chandler moved to amend it by , making the term of exclusion fifteen | years instead oi ten years. v , Mr. Dolph said he disagreed with Mr. ; Sherman, who had expressed tho opin ion yesterday that the ex4i.9.lll1^1,exc!lI(" Kion act would not expire till ltU4. lie quoted certain provisions of tho act ot 188-1 (amendatory of the act ot 18S-) and aruued that his construction of the law wiia the correct one and not Mr. blier-1 man's construction of it. 1 Mr. Sherman opposed the hou?e bill. | "When that bill went beforo tho commit-1 tee on ioreign relations it had been fair Iv considered and it had been deemed best, on the whole (instead of passing that severe law) to postpone action upon it and to provide for the continu- j ance for ten years of _ the present regu- ( lations restricting Chinese immigration. His own opinion and advice was that tho senate should agree to an amend-1 mentextending tho presont legislation j fur ten years and let the the bill ns thus | amended no to a conterenco committee where the matter might bo fully con sidered, and if additional legislation should bo deemed necessary it could bo recommended by tho conference com mittee and brought beforo1 the two houses for approval or disapproval. The house bill, Mr. Sherman added, was against tho spirit of American civ ilization, contrarv to all tho ideas that had been taught "as to tho rights belong ing to every man, oi overy race and clime, and unchristian. A telegram was road by Mr.Frycfrom C. P. Huntington, dated San l'rancisco, April 10, in which he said: "Since my arrival hero I have learned what cilect'tho passage of the Geary bill would nnvo on both Chinese and Americans. Thousands of Chinese in transit, across tho United States, land ing at ports under regulations inndo by tho secretary of tho treasury in Jan uary, 1S83, have paid American trans portation companies sineo the restric tion act over Soo0,000 for transportation alone. Should that bill become a law this traffic would go to foreign com panies via Canada and Panama. Since tho passage of tho restriction act tho custom house records show 32,000 more departures than arrivals at this port. Hundreds of wealthy Chinese mer chants representing lirms hero have gono to China and other countries on business under faith of existing laws, having property interests here valued at hundreds oi thousands of dollars. The Geary bill would debar them from returning and virtually conliscato their property. "I trust that tho pood business sense | of tho American pooplo and love of fair , play and justice will find expression in Congress suiHciontly strong to defeat | this wickod bill." . Mr. Sherman resumed his nrguinont ( i in opposition to tho bill. It admitted, no said, Chincso persons who were duly .1 accredited to tho United States govern-1 inunt, but what; ho asked, would Chinese diplomats come to the United States for it all other Chinese people were to be excluded? The passage of such a bill, ho said, would bo suro to , break oil' nil diplomatic relations bo hyeen tho United States and China. ?Vhnt then, ho aseed, would becomo of i American commorco? Inclosing, Mr. Sherman denounced the bill as a violation of tho treaty with China, and said that any nation which violated a trcatv unduly and without ?nuso would bo regarded as acting "gainst tho civilization of tho world. .

Every county in tlio Btato was represented by a full delega tion, and 3,000 enthusiastic Democrats from throughout tho stato crowded the galloriea and aisles. Among tlio Democratic leaders wore Senators Turpio and Voorhees, Hon. William English, vico presidential can didate on tho Hancock ticket, Con gressmen Jason Brown, CJcorgo W. Cooper and W. D. Bynum, a dozon ex congressmen, and all tho Btato delegates to the national convention. Tho convention was called to order by Chairmun Ta^gnrt, of tho stato cen tral committoo. After the call of dele gations by the secretary the various committees were announced and made their report, A pormanent organiza tion was perfected and United States Senator Turpie was chosen chairman of the convention. After thanking tho convention for thehighhonor contcrred Senator Turpio said: THE SrKECII OF A DEMAGOGUE. "The time is earnest. Tho duties of tho day and tho hour are grave, serious and important. This convention has convened to namo candidates for the dillerent stato oflicos to bo filled by election in November noxt, also as the representatives of tho doctrines, prin ciples and policy of tho Democratic arty, and to take such action as may o most conducive to those intorests and to tho public welfare. This con vention, therefore, among other things means the absoluto freedom and equali ty of elections in tho several states. It means the condemnation and overthrow of all force bills and federal returning boards. This convention also means tho reduction of tho rates of tariff taxa tion and the adjustment of those rates, so that tho public burden shall not rest in the first instance upon tho daily necessities of men, but in some decree upon their wealth and their ability to pay and bear thom. [Applause.] "It means that tho laborer, tho me chanic, shall be entitlod to hold and en joy his earnings, and that no law.shall compel him to divide these without re turn, among the ruthlcs3,banditt of tho tariff trusts mid combinations. (Great applause.) "This great assemblage to-day has another significance. It designs the crazo of public expenditures and tho political death and burial of all advo cates and supporters of that mammoth extravagance, the billion appropriation bill; and especially it indicates tho political obsequies of that very domuro and reticent hillionist who resides at present in tlio executive mansion at Washington, and who signed and ap proved the bill, and without whoso name and signature this enormous draft upon the people's money could never have boon paid, mado or presented. [Applause.] rURE UUXCOMHE.. '"Tho billioniats, great or small, must perish together. They have for gotten the tax payers; the taxpayers .will remember them in judgment with out mercy (Great applause) and be cause wo favor the return of administra tion of the government to tho line of strict economy and the highest integri ty wo shall liavo more of tho public funds to expend for necessary objects and purposes. This convention means' that tho pensions of tho soldiers and sailors, their widows and orphans in tho war for tho union, shall be promptly and punctually paid as allowed by law. Tho army ponsions shall bo generous ly provided for, but tho taritF pensions, tho tar ill' subsidies and monopolies, shall be rejected, finally and absolutely repealed. (Great applause.) "Tho flesh and the blood and embodi ment, tho complotest personification of the errors, falsehoods and fallacies of tho Republican party, is now an incum bent oi tho presidential office. At tho opening of tho presont session last De cember he sent a message to tho peoplo through their representatives in Con gress assembled. This messago was sent in a period of much depression. Tens of thousands of1 workmen were waiting for an increaso of wages, as promised after the passage of tho Mc kinley law, when other thousands were waiting and are still waiting yet in vain for work or employment, at any wages, which had also been promised as tho result of that measure. .There aro some verbose and misty predictions, mysteri ous prophecies about the benefits to be conferred upon this portion of mankind by that very attenuated and shadowy sham miscalled reciprocity. [Ap plause.] "Keally, to read this message care fully,vono would think that the peoplo of tho United States had no methods of escapo or refuge, or release from tho executions and extortions of McKinloy ism except in somo favor which might be shown them and confer upon them by tho special grace of tho Brazilian ministry. or some other good hearted diplomatists of tho foreign powers. [Laughter.] "Yes, the President sent such a mes snco to tho people last Decomber, and. in November ensuing tho people will send a message to tho President. [Laugh ter.] "it will bo tho same message as was sent to another ruler in another age: 'You have been weighed?weighed in the balanco and are found wanting.' " [Cheers.] Till; NOMINATION'S. Immediately nftor tho speech of Chairman Turpio and the adoption of tho report of the committee on creden tials tho committee on resolutions re ported tho platform, which, was read amid cheers.

At this juncture an amusing incident of the day occurred: J^nrgo sized por traits of Gray, Cleveland and Hendricks had been suspended In n row above tho stago during tho .'proceedings. Sudden ly tlio portrait of Gray boi-'an to swing, probably impelled by slight draughts 0j air, and llnally turning with the face to tho wall, rested in that position. In stantly thoro was a wild yell o[ applause from tho Cleveland man who regarded this as an onion of the retirement 0f Isaac l'ussoy Gray from tlio presiden tial arena. Frantic attempts Wore made by tlio Gray men on tho stage to restore tlio picture to its original position, but it persisted ropeatediy in swinging back with the face to tho wall. Another draught of air caught Clove land's portrait, and it, too, began to swing to one side. Immediately thero were deafening jeers of delight from tho Gray men", but their enthusiasm was short lived. Tho portrait only swung half way round mid when it stopped facing the ladies' Bailor}-, and the fair admirers of the cx-l'rcsidont applauded "this unconscious deference to their sex, the Cleveland men caught it up, and tho lato mishap Was made tho occasion for another enthusiastic Cleveland demonstration. The great contest of the day began when the nomination of a candidate for governor was declared in order, John G. Shankiin, of, Eviinsviiie, Mason J, Xiblack, of Vincennes, and Mortimer Nye, oi I.ttporto, were each placed in nomination, with the usual manifesta tions ot' enthusiasm, but th? wildcat demonstration of tho day took place when Claude .Matthews, of Clinton, Was presented as "tho farmer candidate." At the conclusion of tlio iirst ballot ho was within a few votes of tho nomi nation, tlio result being, Matthews, <>1S: Shankiin; 300; Niblack,' 173, and Nye 150. Immediately two counties changed their votes, giving him forty-seven votes, and his nomination was assured. On tho motion of tlio frieads of Shank lin, Nye and Niblack, the nomination of Mr."Matthews was made unanimous. Amid great enthusiasm Matthews was introduced and in a brief speech thanked the delegates. Mortimer Nye, of Laportc, was nomi nated lieutenant governor. Tho following candidates wero then nominated by acclamation and tho convention adjourned: Secretary of State?Wm. It. Mvers. Auditor of State?Joim Oscar Hen derson. Treasurer of State?Albert (Jai|.

Tlio compromise agreed on at tho series of conferences of Democratic bodies of Indiana was carried out to tho lettor in tho state convention to-dav. G rover Cleveland is endorsed as the logical candidate of the Democratic party, and in the ovont that tho national convention dacms tho nomination of Mr. Cleveland inexpedient, tho delega tion is instructed to uso every honor able effort to secure tho nomination of Gov. Isaac P. Gray for tho presidency. A "Priest's LIW Suit. Rome, April 21.?Tho libel suit brought by tho priest, Amalfitano, against Cardinal Qreglia, after a week's hearing, ended to-day in tho aquittal of ? tho cardinal.

MBIER'S TESTIMONY la tlio Murdor Trial bosun Yostor day Aftornoon. THE ONLY WITNESS TO HIS CRIME Gives Iter Evl(lonco??Tilttlo Katio Yoho Tells How Hep Sister was Kill ed by Ilcr Husband, While tlio Mur derer Listens Apathetically-?Tho Court Rpom Crowded to tho Doors with nil Interested Audience. Tlio second day of tho Maior murdor trial is over, l'or ton Holid hours yes torday tho court room was packed with on oagor audience, which listened at tentively to tho evidence. Tho prisoner maintained tho same passivo'attitudoof tho day before. Ilia expression was a perfect blank* and only at ono time did ho Boom to display tho slightest interest iu tho ovidcrico given by tho witnesses for tlio state. This exception occurred while his wife's sister, littlo Katio Yoho, was giving hor testimony. On this little girl Maior kept his eyes fastened, casting them down and resuming his stolid attitude when ho observed . that ^ others were watching his behavior. Katio was tlio last witness for tho stato, with tho exception of Charles Morrow, Maior s follow workman, who testified that jMaier did not como to tlio bako shop tho night of tho killing. Katio was nervous, whether mado so by tho un usual position in which she was placed, or by tho steadv stare with which Maier regarded her. ller testimony was given in a very low tono of voice, and had to <)q repeated by Steno grapher Garvin, so that the court and* jury could understand her roplics to tlio questions propounded. In re lating tho story 0? tho killing on the cross-examination, she never varied from the story she told in answer to tho prosecutor's questions. Messrs. Atkinson and Conift treated the child with the greatest consideration, and when thoy wore informed that she had almost fainted after leaving tho room, refrained from recalling hor to tho wit ness stand until to-day, when it is sup posed she will be more lit to, resume giving her evidence. The chief interest of the day centered in tho tostimony of tho defendant. He was tho first witness called by the de fense, the attorneys for that side not being thoroughly acquainted with tho evidence each of their witnesses was able to give. The defendant apparently did his best to help out tho insanity theory, on which his hopes for his neck are based, all his answers tending to show that he did not remember tho lulling of liia wife, tho blow on his head, received when a bov, rendering him, at tinies when ho was excited, totally irre sponsible for his actions. THE TESTIMONY IJEGUX. Tho Story of tho Murdor told in tho Circuit Court I'cHterihiy. / Dr. Reed Baird was tlio first witness called for tlio sUitO.; ,IIe.said lie had been practicing medicine for about ten years, lie had known tho defendant JIaier for about a year.
