In the las hours of the Mate senate. James Kime of Tander ru expelled from the b'.'dy and Seuator KubN was reprimanded. The pretext for unseat ing Kui.e. whose term does not end for two years. was that he had been unable to en tirely rid himself of the postmasterhip at ins home. lie resigned as soon as he learned of his election to the Legislature. Tne department declined to relieve him im mediately. and he turned the office over to h's bondsmen. The Kepublican majority had papers from Washington to the effect that Kluxe was yet technically a federal othce-holder. Kabis was mixed up in the alleged po.soninj: and attempt to ibducv Kime at .k critical stage iu the senatorial content. He vras tried by a committee se cretly and at no time was allowed an op portunity to defend lumelf. He and hi friends declare the whole thing is a con spiracy to punish him for refusing to vote for a certain senatorial aspirant.

San Vnincisco special: Collector Qulnn of tins port is preparing his dray net to ccop iu about SMitfO Chinese ou the 5jh of next May, when the Geary exclusion sict provides that, those coolies who have not been reg stered shall be shipped back to China. The Chinese by that date will have been given a y*»ar' in which to have their photographs t.tkw» and be tegistered. Of the 30.000 in this city. Oakland, and other places in Collector Quinu's district, .iust s^ixty-one have registered. If they yere nil to decide, to register at once, not one-tenth could be accommodated in the interval. The Chinese merchants laugh at the law. but they won't smile when they learn of ^mini's preparation-. When the sixty dep uties appointed to register Chinese were discharged, the tir.-t of the year, the Chi|silver nese thought the iaw had collapsed also. The Collecior. however, has made all plans for the biggest round-up of Chinese on that May morning ever seen in ti.is country. By hiding a large force he will arrest simul taneously several thousand Chinese. Those found without passports will be-bundled into express wagons, with their baggage, and taken to the wharf. There four tugs will convey them to Goat Inland iu the bay. directly opposite San Francisco and three mile* away. There temporary buildings \N ill J. he iter them fill they ran b? shipped on the China steamers. The tugs will be provided with an armed auard and a tug tilled with crack riiie shots will patrol around the island. In ihU way it is esti mated that 20.000 Chinese may be comfort ably house on the i-iand at small expense. Collector Qulnn said: "The moment the Chinese see we moan business they will lose no time in getting into the courts, for we propose to slwip them out of the country as fast as possible. There i- no question about the cons-iitutionality of the iaw. That has been decided in the District Courts of Mich-' igan and Louisiana and aUo by Judge Me Kemu of tne Circuit Court here during the trial of the Ctinese who were Mivugirled in Monterey. 1 do not think the Chinese have a foot left to stand upon. A large major ity of them will have to s:o back to China, and if they were to start in to register to morrow the work could not be finished with one hundred deputies working ten hours a day. We still have on Land %M.:00 of the appropriation, and with this amount of money we can do some good. 1 think. The American war ships can be brought into teiiuisition iu the deportation ef the men. and it will only be a matter of time when the country will be free from the Chinese. "Made Doctor* to Order.
