A QUEER SCHEME.
.Senator Slater Invents a X.eg:is
J,aive 'Sovvliy.
The Right of Residence does not In
clude the Privilege of Earning a
Living The Doctrine to be ap
plied to the Chinese in America.
Special Dispatch to the Oresonian.
"Washington, May 18. Senator
Slater has prepared and intends
shortly to introduce a very novel
bill, which, although apparently at
total variance with the stimulations
of the Burlingame treaty, is really,
he says, drawn with the strict letter
of that treaty, whose guarantees,
both direct and indirect, relate
solely to the rights of travel and
residence, lie contends tint the
n-ht of residence does not neces
sarily include unrestricted rights
to procure in this country the
means of maintaining its cost, and
be theiefcre bel'eves that he has
discovered an effectual mode of
putting a stop to Mongolian immi
gration y legislation, without ab
rogating any treaty.
llis new measure is not likel yto
be regarded with much favor in
congress; but if his view should
prove to be corivct there would
be no constitutional obstacle to
state legislation of precisely the
same character. The bill at all
events is a legislative curiosity.
It provides that after July 1, 1880.
it shall not be lawful for any sub
ject of the Chinese empire to en
gage m, carry on, or work at any!
manufacturing or mechanical busi
ness, or to own, lease or work any
mine, or to own or lease any real
estate for any purpose other than
' tjhat. of lawful commerce, and- for-:
places of residence, or to conduct
any farm, garden, vineyard or
orchard; or to own, have or keep
an v herd of cattle, horses, sheep,
r r!
fronts or swine for the purpose Ol
makiiiff profit bv the increase of
product or use thereof; or to keep !
any hotel or restaurant except lor
the use or accomodation of Chinese

by a Chinaman is to be punishable ;
by a fine of not less than SIUU.
or imprisonment in the penitenti- !
i i
ary not exceeding six months, or
both hue and imprisonment; ana
also by forfeiture of all property
used or invested in the prohibited
business.
The second section makes it un
lawful for any person, corporation
or company to employ any Mon
golian subject of China for any of
the above named purposes, except
as interpreters, or teachers of Chi
nese language, and imposes a line
of 100 for each offense.

Tim hll pnnpliulf; with the fol-
inc. bill concludes wun tne ioi
lowing proviso, which is intended
to cover all treaty requirements:
Provided, that the citizens of
China as respects the right to
travel or reside in the United
States, shall enioy the same privi
leges, immunities and exemptions
while so traveling or residing m
the United States, and shall be pro-
tected in person and property in
the same manner as the citizens ofj
foreign nations are entitled to by I
trMt.v ctiniilation with such for-
ei'ni nations, and not otherwise.

Several large owners are about to
take their farms and work them
selves. Several Scotch landlords
have reduced rents twenty and
thirty per cent. This is owing in
partto bad harvests, but chiefly by
the vast food importation from
America.
