Pacific coast senators and representatives who have been giving special attention to a bill for the exclusion of Chinese have perfected a measure which will be Introduced in both houses in a few da j a- It is much more comprehensive than any bills that have been presented heretofore on the subject, most of which simply provide for excluding Chinese . or re-enacting the Geary law. The bill under consideration contains 45 pages. It does not limit itself to any term of years, as did the Geary act. but if passed in its present form would be perpetual unless repealed. The bill declares that all Chinese, other than citizens of the United States or those who are secured in coming to and residing in the United States under the present treaty with Chin, shall be refused admission and returned to the country whence they came at the expense of the transportation company bringing them.

Penalties are provided for not complying with the provisions of act. $1,000 and one year's imprisonment being the minimum with a liability to forfeiture of vessels violating any of the provisions of the law. The only Chinese persons permitted to enter the United States under the act are those who have become citizens by birth ana naturalization, and officials of the Chinese government, teachers, students, merchants, travelers for pleasure or curiosity, returning laborers who must have. certificates, 'Jr, doatfciad.. ns chantsTv Chinese coming, as above enumerated must have certificates with a photograph attached. The secretary of the treasury is to ask the Chinese government for the list of names of clt officials other than diplomatic and consular officers who desire to visit the United States. The words "United States" wherever used in this act, it is provided, shall be deemed to mean "the lands and water included in the United States and its territories, the District of Columbia. Hawaii, Porto Rico, the Philippines and any and all other territory or possessions now owned or hereafter acquired by the United States." Provision is made for the registration of all Chinese now in the United States, to be completed within six months after the passage of the act.

After all the smallpox scare in which the health department and newspapers of this city were blamed for "covering up the facts," which was not the case at all, it appears that this city and county has been more free from the loathsome scourge than almost any other county in the state. The facts here were not hidden at ail. There was no attempt to cover up the existence of the disease by anybody business men, health office or newspapers. The trouble was there were people who seemed to have made up their minds? that we mudt bav an epidem ic of " smallpox here, and would not believe other wise, and when the facts did not justify their expectations and pre dictions distorted and misrepresented in order to justify the stories thev had told. The report of the state board of health shows that there was more smallpox in Indiana in December than at any time in the state's history 287 cases as shown by the records of the office of the state board of health. In November there were 186 cases, which means an increase of over 100 cases in December. "This increase in smallpox," said Dr. Hurty, secretary of the board, "was caused by very cold weather, largely. The mortalitv was low, however.only seven deaths occurring. This goes to show that the disease if in a light form in Indiana, The largest number of cases last month in any one county was in Jefferson, where local health authorities reported eighty cases. Some of the rural doctors in that county, Dr. Hurty says, have not yet recognized the disease as smallpox. In December twenty six cases were reportea from Koscuisko county, twenty from Spencer, nineteen from Wabash, nine from Dearborn, thirteen from Monroe and fifteen from Marion. The rest of the counties had only one or two cases, including Richmond. SHOYEUORKS. It is Now Believed the Trust Has Closed it For Good. It is now regarded as certain that the trust, which recently purchased the Richmond Shovel Works, has closed the factory for good. They sent word two weeks ago that the works would be opened on Monday last week, then that tbey would open up yesterday. The works did not open yesterday and men who have . been employed there say they have no information, no way of getting any here, and do not expect but that the works are closed for good. Another Subsidy for the C. R. & M. Dewey township, Laporte county, voted Saturday to aid the Cincinnati, Richmond & Muncie railroad to the extent of $13,000. The railroad company, in consideration of this subsidy, will build through the township and also strike LaCross, which is rapidly becoming one of the best railroad centers in Laporte county. - ' .-., -
