Washington, March 26. The Re publicans of the ways and means com mittee are still struggling with their bill to-day. They have restored hides and raw silk to the free list, but no change has been made in sugar or wool. The great fight is now over the sugar question, thongh there are a hundred and one other little items io annoy them. It is believed that there will have io be some change in the sugar schedule from that first an nounced. The sugar men are growing confident and express the opinion that the cut will not be below 2."5 per cent. The committee will probably go back to the specific form or duty whether or not thev make any changes. DrCIIiIMl A OCESTION". Asked li) a Chlnamin in XebratVa. Special toTHK Astokiak.1 WASinxaTOX, March 2G. Assistant secretary Tichnor has written the fol lowing emphatic letter to Quong Lee at Plattsmoulh, Nebraska: Sii:: The department is in receipt of your letter of the 10th inst Further in relation to the question submitted in your letter of the 17th ult whether yon can send to China for your wife and children. You state that yon intend to become a citizen of the United States, and have made declaration of such intention, and you intimate that yon are wealthy, but you fail to answer the question proposed to yon in the department's letter of the "1st inst, as to the nature of yonr occupation in this country. From the endorsement of the district judge S. M. Chapman on your letter, it ap pears that you are engaged in the laundry business, but such occupation does not exclude you from the class or laborers nor can you claim immunity for your relatives from the Chinese re striction acts by reason of any inten tion to become a citizen of the United States, since the law, act of May G, 18S2 prohibits the ad mission of any Chinese persons to cit izenship. As your wife and children do not appear to have resided in the United States, they cannot be ad mitted to entry other than upon the production of a certificate from the Chinese government declaring them to be persons other than laborers, the certificate being under law sole evi dence permissible to establish the right of entry into the United States.

The house committee on territories to-day decided to postpone all consideration of bills for the admission of New Mexico and Arizona as states and appoint a sub committee of five to examine the con stitution of New Mexico and report to the committee upon thequestion of the admission r the two territories. The Democrats regard this action as indefi nite postponement of the admission of these territories. The Republicans say, on the contrary, that the chances of New Mexico securing statehood nre greatly incro:iscd. Arizona, they say, will probably have to present :i consti tution for the consideration of con gress before her case will lit acted upon. An Oreqoa Mail Uoute Ktcmlci1.

Many a child has gone astray, not lecausb there is a want of home, but simply because home lacks sunshine. A child needs smiles as mnch as plants need sunbeams. Children look little beyond the present moment If a thing pleases they are ant to seek it; if it displeases they are apt to avoid it If homo is a place where faces are sour, and words harsh, and fault find ing is ever on the ascendent, they will spend as many hours as possible else where.

Wilson came with an unbroken record, and was ex pected to make a hot battle with Choynski, who is game and a clever fighter. Wilson weighed 183 and was in good condition. Choynski was in perfect trim at 169. Mike Lucie was the referee. In the first Wilson showed himself remarkably quick, and started to force Joe. The latter would either retreat or duck and suddenly turning drove his heavy right on Wilson's nose which started it to bleeding. He repeated this a few times when Wilson settled down a bit and was badly jabbed. and towards the end of the round was knocked down with a heavy one on his mouth and went to his corner in bad shape. Kound 'z Wilson came up spry again but was very cautious. Choynski was the first to lead, when Wilson ducked and throwing out his right shoulder threw Joe heavily. He was up in a moment and kept jabbing away on Wilson's bleeding nose. Wilson seemed to lose heart at the poor showing ho was making, being almost unable to touch Choynski. Joe finally got in a heavy smash on Wilson's mouth, which took him off his feet, his head rebounding from the floor, where he lay until counted out. More Railroads fr Seattle.

Is a single person more likely to be happy than a double one? Are bach elors and maids happier than married folk? It is a big question, and per haps will find as many voices in the negative as in uie ainrmauve. xne single person cannot be as unhappy as tne uouoie one, and aitnougn tne oiiss of married iife, such as I at first de scribed, is great; so is, also, the mis ery of an ill-assorted or disastrous marriage. The lonelines of a loving heart is hard to bear, and the longing for protecting and sympathetic companionshp is verv sorrowful and depressing, but the burden of en forced companionship with a husband who has become on object of aversion and terror, is a great deal harder to bear, and the slavery of dependence upon an unwilling and grudging master is far more bitter and unen durable. It is, after all, a good deal like gambling. You stake your dol lar, and you may win five, or you may lose all. Probably the wisest plan, certainly tho most obvious advice is: Don't put up your dollar! Mrs. Frank Leslie, widow. The Latest Petticoat. The latest petticoat is straight from Paris and is untrimmed.
