United States Senators Elected.
General Miller was elected In'
the Sacramento assembly on Wed
nesday to fill the vacancy on Sena
tor Booth's expired term. This
news conies to us in the Stilla-Uafs-Posten
of January 10th. Fair
is also elected in Nevada.
The Telegraphic Beal.
It is understood the telegraphic
nnmhitintion was ellecteu on a
basis of $S0,000,000 capital for the
new company of which the West
ern Union is to have SoS,O00,(J00;
American Union, Slo,')0(),000; and
the Atlantic and Pacific. S7,000
000. The present capital of the
"Western Union is about 341,000,
1)00; of the American Union, 15,
000,000; of the Atlantic and Pa
cific, $14,000,000. Thu it will be
seen that "Western Union gels a
scrip dividend of 40 per cent.
The American Union goes in at
par and the Atlantic and Pacific
is put in at 50. It is undeniable
says the Graphic, that this move
ment has been engineered tlnough
out by Jay Gould, who to-day
holds a greatly preponderating
control of the entire telegraph
system of the county. It is a
movement in which he has check
mated his opponents completely,
and it is estimated that his profits
sum up into the millions. The
present movement in telegraph
stocks was begun in the latter part
of November by Vanderbilt, who
ran the stock up from about par to
104A to enable him to unload,
which he did all the way down to
00, as he saw the preparations the
rival line was making for a severe
and protracted competition. From
00 the stock was carried down
some 33 per cent, by Goulds
short sales. The speculative
movement 1.13 dormant for a few
days, but assumed activity by the
&ale of one block of 20,000 shares
at 7SJ, seller CO days, and another
of 10,000 shares on a similar op
tion at 7S. Wall street was mys
tified as to the purport of the
transaction, but the speculators
generally were induced to put out
heavy lines of shorts. From this
.point the stock began to advance,
and immense transactions were
the order of the day. There is
little doubt but that Gould and
Vanderbilt have bee acting in
concert in. a buying movement,
although it is believed that Gould
is by far the largest buyer, as he
appears to have dictated the set
tlement which was made on the
13th. The first section of the new
American Union cables will prob
ably be laid in May, and the whole
system be finished in November.
Whatever is the upshot of the
amalgamation project of the land
lines here, says a New York dis
patch of the 14th, these new ca
bles will certainly be laid, as there
is a demand for more wires to Eu
rope, and the property will always
be in request, owing to the in
creased demand for cable facilities.
The old cable companies have
offered the projectors ol new cables
every inducement to discontinue
their plans.
The opal mines of Queensland
bid fair to rival at no distant day
the far-famed depositories of that
gem in Hungary. Opals have
been found in many localities, but
Jiave not yet been worked to a
profit. Those obtained from Lis
towel Downs were beautiful in ap
pearance, but too thin and scaly
to possess much market alue. A
Tesident of Winton has recently
discovered some opal ground
Svhich promises to be really remu
nerative, and has found some speci
mens, among which is a solid angu
lar cream-colored specimen on
which great reliance is placed. It
Is said to indicate great heat, and
to afford strong grounds for believ
ing that large-sized commercial
opals will be found beneath the
surface.
The Chinese Treaty.
Following is the text of the
treaty signed at Pekin on Septem
ber 17, 1SS0, by the commissions
plenipotentiary of the United
States and China, respectively.
The first, which provides for the
future regulation of Chinese immi
gration, is in these werds:
Whereas, in the eighth year of
Ilsieng Feng, a. n. IboS, a treaty
of peace and friendship was con
cluded between the United States
of America and China, to which
weie added, in the seventh year of
Tung Chili, a. i. 1SC8, certain sup
plementary articles to the advan
tage of both parties, which supple
mentary articles were to be per
petually observed and obeyed;
and
Whereas, the government of the
United State-, because of the con
stantly increasing immigration of
Chinese laborers to the territory of
the United States and the em
barrassments consequent upon sueli
immigration, now desires to nego
tiate a modification of the existing
treaties which shall not be in di
rect contravention of their spirit,
now
Therefore, the President of the
United States of America has ap
proved James B. Angel I of Michi
gan, John F. Swift of California,
and William Henry Trescott of
South Carolina, as Ins commission
plenipotentiary, and his Imperial
Majesty the Emperor of China, has
appointed Pao Chun, a member of!
his Imperial Majestys privy conn- J
cil and superintendent of the board
of civil office, and Li Hung Tso, a
member of his Imperial Majestys
privy council, as his commissioners
plenipotentiary, and the said com
missioners have conjointly ex
amined their full powers and
having discussed the points of
possible modification in the ex
isting treaties, have agreed upon
the following articles in modifi
catien:
Article I. Whenever in the opinion
of the government of the United
St Hies the coining of Chinese laborers
to the United States, ur their residonce
therein, affects or threatens to ati'ect
the interests of that country r to en
danger the yood order of the said
cimtry or of any locality within the
territory thereof, the government of
China agrees that the government of
the United States may regulate, limit
or suspend such coming or residence,
but may not absolutely prohibit it.
The limitation or suspension shall he
reasonable, and shall apply only to
Chinese who may go to the United
States as laborers, other classes not
being included in the Hmitatior,
Legislation taken in regard to Chinese
laborers will be of Mich a character
only as is necessary to enforce the
regulation, limitation or suspension of
immigration, and immigrants shall not
be subject to personal maltreatment
or abuse.
Article n. Chinese subjects, wheth
er proceeding to the Uuited States as
teachers, students, merchants, or from
curiosity, together with body and
household servants, and Chinese labor
ers who are now in the United States,
shall be allowed to o and come of
their own free will and accord, and
shall be accorded all the rights, privi
leges, immunities and exemptions
which are accorded to the citizens and
subjects of the most favored nations.
Article in. If Chinese laborers, or
Chinese of any other class, now either
permanently or temporarily residing
in the territory of the United States,
meet with ill treatment at the hands
of any other persons, the government
of the United States will exert all its
power to devise , measures for their
protection, and to secure to them the
same rights, privileges, immunities
and exemptions as may be enjoyed by
the citizens and subjects of the most
favored nations, and to which they are
entitled by treaty.
Article iv. The high contractins;
powers having agreed upon the fore
going articles, whenever the govern
ment of the United States shall adopt
legislative measures in accordance
therewith, such measures will be com
municated to the government of China.
If such measures as enacted are found
to work hardships upon the subjects
of China, the Chinese minister at
Washington may bring the matter to
tho notice of the secretory of state of
the United States, who will consider
the subject with him, and the Chinese
foreigu office may also bring the mat
ter to the notice of the L mted btates
minister at Peking, and consider the
subject with him, to the end that
mutual and umpiauhed benebt may
result.
In faith whereof the respective
plenipotentiaries have signed and
sealed the foregoing at Peking, in
English and Chinese, being three
originals of each text, of even tenor
and date, the ratification of which
shall be exchanged at Peking within
one year from the date of its exe
cution. Done at Peking this seventeenth
day of Novombor, in the year of our
Lord 18S0. Kuang Hsu, sixth 3'ear,
tenth moon, fifteenth day. Signa
tures of Chinese commissioners.
