Washington, Feb. 20.—Sinoe the publication in a local paper several weeks ago, of the news that tbe secret service detectives would report all government clerks who frequent pool rooms and other places where gambling is indulged in to the ohiefs of the bureaus in which the sporting-inclined clerks are employed, there has been a perceptible falling off in the number of government employes in these places, For tt long time it was a sourco of muoh trouble in some of the departments as to what could be done to induce the clerks who were afflicted with the mania of "playing the hones" to give it up, for in many instances they were valuable clerks and were ruining themselves and bringing their families to want by sinking their salaries in tliecoffersofpoolroom sharp). After consideration, it was decided to "shadow" all patrons of gambling establishments, and note those in government employ. If, after being warned, the clerk doea not cease gambling he will be dismissed. Members of the house get all sorts of requests from their constituents, Some want seeds enough to plant their farm lands all over; some want books enough for a library; some want only an autograph. One member, who haa a district near here and endeavors to comply as far as possible with all requests, was looking over his mail the other day, when suddenly he threw himself back in his chair and exclaimed: "I though it would come to this." A colleague turned to bim quickly to know what the trouble was. Tbe stricken member handed him a pos tal card on which was written: "Dear sir: Please send nv partment of agricultut'*nf Yours, .to." m munm Opposition (orkliiese. Washington, Feb. 20.—In behalf of the Laundrymen's National Association, Senator Mitchell to-day presented their memorial urging the exclusion of the Chinese from this country. The memorial asserts that there are 6,234 American laundries in the United States, employing 93,- 645 hands and paying them $29,- 217,260 in wages annually, having $14,730,000 capital employed, and doing an annual business of $65,- 027,200. It represents that from theso establishments emanate no immoral influences and seeds of no physical, moral or religious leprosy, but, on the contrary, that they are healthful factors in moral civilization and an organization of American industry. The memorial says that the Chinese empire, which was for many centuries shut upas a vast empire of monstrous political, social, moral and superstitious propagation, appears now to be ridding itself of a large surplus population by strong organizations formed to cast the pernicious fruitage of its corrupt system upon our shores. The asso oiation believes that tbe 250,000 Chinese at present forced upon us are but a vanguard of an army to come, unless the wise provisions of the Mitchell Ohinese Exclusion bill are adopted. It it stated that of the 250,000 Ohinese here, 98,000 are laundrymen, and their laundries to-day number 12,973, more than double the number of those conducted by Americans. They employ no American help, Three-fourths of them are controlled by the Six Companies, whose agents exist in every hamlet in the land, making weekly collections from each laundry and reminding those people, wherever thoy go, that they are still the slaves of the Ohinese government, as they are of the hideous vices of that coun try. Of tho $26,983,840 which they draw annually from tho country, many millions are expended in Ohina for means to indulge in national vices, and to hire slave labor to com- peto with American laborers. Many of the laundries are opium-dens of the lowest type. The 60,000 wage- woman employed in American laundries might have their number more than quadrupled if these Ohinese seed-beds of leprosy could be closed, Thoy assert that the Chinese, for economy sleep on their customer's washing. Tho economy argument, however, they say is really trifling compared with the gross, immorali- ties which everywhere attend them and the pngan rites with which they continually insult every Christian sentiment. The Chinese are declared to be the one people from whom our oountry has the least to hope aud the most to fear. Attention is called to tha fact that the Chinese are rapidly spreading themselves over all parts of the country, especially through the Atlantic sea-board, where opposition to their coming is constantly increasing as they become better known, and the east, it is said, is vying with the west in demanding their total exclusion, The memorial concludes: "To avert all these evils und dangers, therefore, we solemnly pray you to grant the relief herein which all classes of American citizens are asking by adopting the Mitchell Anti-Chinese bill," The memorial is signed "on behalf of all American citizens and all American institutions," by Oliver Kreed, of Philadelphia, President; O. N. Oarr, of Philadelphia, S. A. Bowden, of Columbus, Ohio, O. H. Jewett, of Salem, Mass.; O. A. Royce, Springfield, Mass.; and T. Byres, of Louisville, Ky. BY TELEGRAPH.

IMFEKIAL FABUAMBNT, London, Feb, 28 It the house of common, to-dsy Sir James Ferguson, under foreign secretary, in reply to a question by Mr. Bryce concerning the statement of Le Temp* that England was negotiating with Turkey for an advantageous position commanding the Dardanelles, said there was no foundation for chat or any other statement that any port in the Dardanelles had been ceded to England. Mr. Smith moved the adoption bf the rule enabling the speaker to order the withdrawal of disorderly memben or ask the house to decide upon their conduct. Mn Dillon objected to placing the honor of the memben at the mercy of anyone, even of the speaker or the chairman of the committee. The house itself ought to punish disorderly memben, and should consider the provocation such members had received. Major Saundenon, Dillon Slid, had boasted at a recent public meeting that in every speech he made in the house he had taunted the Parnellites. Major Sauhefenon: "I said I bad done so ou some ocossiona." (Derisive laughter and cheering). Mr. Dillon, continuing, taid that Major Saundenon had alio declared he would repeat his conduct in the future: Such conduct would necessarily aggravate the difficulty of maintaining older. Tlie rule would tend to make the speaker a party tool, instead of as presented, an imper ial friend of the house. If the Parnel- lite memben were treated with civility the rule would be unwarranted. Mr. Morley said that the punishment proposed seemed quite appropriate and not too harsh. Mr. T, P. O'Connor opposed the rule as an insult to self respect. The amendment to omit the clause of the rule excluding suspended memben from the precincts of the house, was rejected by 125 to 86, and an amendment that such exclusion should apply only when the speaker or the chairman may decide, was negatived by a vote of 117 to 89. The rule was finally adopted by 134 to 74. The rule empowering the speaker or chairman to stop a speech after warning the member speaking against persistent irrevalence or tedious repitition of arguments, was carried without a division. CANADIAN ENIERFKISB. Ottawa, Feb. 28.—George Hamilton leaves hero to-night for Japan via the C.P.B. and Vancouver,with a large lot of samples of clothing, etc., from W. E. Sanford & Co., to open up trade for that firm in Japan. THIS MOBmS'S DK8PATCHK8. THE STBIIE ON THE C. B. & (J. Chicaoo, Feb. 21) The entire suburban service of the Burlington road is in full operation this morning and running on schedule time. Reports from all along the lino are moro cheerful.

London, Feb. 29. — Arrangements forthe Sullivan-Mitchell fight have been completed. Harry Bull was selected for stake holder and each side put up £400 so that the £1000 are now up altogether. B. J. Hugh was selected as referee and Mitchell will select the place For the fight. THE OBBAT STRIKE. Chicaoo, Feb. 29.—This morning telegrams have been sent all along the line of the Chicago, Burlington and Quincy road announcing that all idle men must return to work to-day or they will no longer be considered employes of the company. This is understood to mean that open war is to bo made on tho brotherhood of locomotive engineers, which ordered the strike, and that striken will be dealt with as individuals. Chief Arthur says the men are prepared to meet the company and oven some concessions might be made, but he emphatically declares the main demands will be adhered to. At Aurora in thit state last night a mob surrounded a train and made vain efforts to disconnect the brakes. Inconsequence of this attempt notices have been posted at various depots warning striken to keep away. Despatches from all ewer the Burlington system show clearly thst the deuMiuIUed condition of the road here is duplicated or wone at nearly every point, Scarcely half a score of men of tbe vast system having stoek to the oompany. It has been learned tbat of those injured in yesterday's ae* cident at Napierville and Fulton junction, two employes in tbe latter wreok are almost certain to die. THE CHINESE EXCLUSION TEEATt.

'JO, Victoria papers still continue to boom Port Angeles, whicli is the point whore the straits ferry connecting with the island railway extension is supposed to roach the American side. But it is stated that tho actual crossing has not yet been determined. There arc already two 01 three town sites laid oil', and the people who nre anxious to serve tlieir country by making lots of money without working for it, are at a loss to know just whero to place their capital. We don't take much stock in the boom. At best it will nover amount to a great deal. A despatch from Omaha, dated tho 27th inst., says that as the weather is now becoming moro favorable the blockade on all tho Pacific lines is likely to be raised, the obstructions to traffic having been temporarily removed. The despatch further states that between three and four thousand cars have been held in the blockade. One hears vory little about blockades on the American Pacific roads, but this despatch indicates very clearly, nevertheless, thot they have suffered oven more than our own rond during the past winter. When all the circumstances are considered it must bo admitted that the 0. P. K. has done remarkably well. On the first page of this paper to-day wo reprint a petition which has been prepared for congress on the question of Ohinese exclusion. The language of this petition goes as far as the most anti-Chinese declaration wo have seen on the Pacific coast; and as it is signed by the representatives of an eastern organization, we infer that the people of the east are beginning to get new light on a grievance which they have hitherto accustomed themselves to regard as an unwarranted fancy in whioh the people of the Pacific coast showed an extraordinary lack of patriotism. We must confess that the petition is, perhaps, more highly colored than the actual circumstances would honestly justify. As a rule the Chinamen who come to this coast are far from what they ought to b6, but some of them ore very much better than the picture painted of them in the petition. The Toronto Mail and the Montreal Herald, having received the full text of the fisheries treaty, pronounce it a surrender of Canadian rights. The former, is one of the most independent and ably-conducted newspapers in Oanada: the latter is the organ of Hon. Peter Mitchell, at one time minister of marine and fisheries in the administration of Sir John A. Macdonald. Indeed it is most difficult to see how any other conclusion could be arrived at. We are not able to find in the whole treaty a single substantial advantage gained to Canada. If there is one, we should be glad if the Colonist or the Herald (the only papers in British Columbia that have approved of the treaty) will be good enough to point it out. The statements made by Secretary Bayard, published in this paper yesterday, fully bear out these views. Mr. Bayard claims that the treaty secures to American fishermen every reasonable thing that they asked. If the treaty is ratified by Canada as it now stands, and the United States refuses to admit our fish free of duty (which Mr. Bayard seems quite certain will be the case), the Oanadian fisheries on the Atlantic will be of very littlo value to the nation. Our local ootemporary is suffering from a fit of blues again. In his issue of this morning he wrestles magnificently with tho corruption which is said by Mr. Humphreys to prevail among members of the government and their supporters in the legislature, and tells us for the hundredth time that the people of British Columbia, as woll as their representatives) are not fit to exist in decent society. Because specific denials have not been recorded against the numberless charges brought up by Mr. Humphreys, our cotemporary innocently assumes the charges to bo true I Poor, guileless soul; how conscious innocence must have obscured his natural perceptions with the mantle of a beautiful charity I His wonderful leader this morning closes with the emphatic declaration that no constituency on the mainland would elect the provincial secretary. Wc have a recollection that precisely the aame declaration was made by the same organ previous to last general election, when that gentleman was returned by Westminster district at the head of the poll. We are afraid our cotemporary does not permit his judgment to dictate the sentiments Which appear in the editorial column of Mb paper. We suspect that neither the electors nor the members of the house are so idiotic or so corrupt aa biaintensely partisan pictures represent them. His unhappy declaration a month ago that 14 members of. tha-iagislature wero pledged.*) vote againat tha government haa not been rediied, and the failure of his carefully arranged sur- prise seems to have bean too much for him. Bri ws ttW>oie he will ■XLJiiiBMlUlilJlMftilg rage and rant away to the end of the chapter, heedless of tho spectacle. We have a great denl of respect for a man who 1ms well-defined convictions and isn't afraid to defend them, evon. at tlie risk of being accused of partisanship; but we arc suro no ono either believes-or respects tho wild political declaration's of the looal party organ.

Winnipeg, Man., Feb. 27.—Further reports have been received of terrible distress existing among Canadian Indians in the fur north. The Rev. W. Spendlove, a missionary from north of Mackenzie River, is in the city, and tells of many hardships. Ho haa beon in the-district for nine years aud tho journey down occupied eighty or ninety days. Mr. Spendlove thinks that the country in the far north will never be populated to nny extent, aud that it is the greatest nonsense to suppose that where the live or six thousand Indians and a few white people almost starve to death, Icelanders or any othor people could eke out a livelihood. These 0,000 pooplo aro scattered over an area of 700,000 square miles. From Peace River Mr. Spendlove heard of coses where Indians had died of starvation nod their comrades had subsisted on their flesh. Reports havo been coming in stating that deer were killed iu thousands iu the north. Mr. Spendlove says that this is not so nowadays For the past two years theso animals have been very Boarco for some reason or other, and hence the destitution. Mr, Spendlovo was so run down with want and suffering last winter that ho had to come away to regain strength. So it will bo seen that the country is not one flowing with milk aud honey. These cases of destitution have beon repeatedly brought to the notice of tho Canadian government at Ottawa, but nothing has been done to aid the sufferers, and tho feeling against the ofliciula is intense.

No bcc- rot is made of tlm exact character of thu proposals nr.r of the official opinion that thuy will bo summarily rejected. Tho tint asks a substantial recognition of the rights of Rusmi to contral Bulgaria nud Roumeliit. Prince Ferdinand and tho sobranje are to be wiped out, uud a Russian commissioner, with a Turkish colleague, ia to reorganize the government and the army.nnd control tho elections for a new .sobranje. Russia further claims the right to occupy the principality until tho czar deems it proper to withdraw his troops. The impossible nature of theso demands aggravates the situation. It is reported that Princo Bismarck has advised Count Schouvaloff tn urge tho Russian govornment to refrnm from officially presenting them to Austria, on the ground that they would certain* ly meet with preempt-ry rejection without discussion.
