He Cost of Chinese Deportation. Carlisle Presents Some Figures. Over Ten Million Dollars Will Be Needed. How the Figures Will Apply to This State. Talbert of South Carolina Ventilates His Views Legislation in the Senate The Ways and Means Committee-Cherokee Strip Trouble.

By Telegraph to The Times. WASHINGTON, Oct. Associated Press.) The Secretary of the Treasury Bent the Senate a revised estimate of the cost of the deportation of the Chinese now in the United States, ln'afecordanca with the provisions of the $eas law. The statement is supplementary to that of September 12, and increases the estimate of the total appropriation necessary from $6,000,000 to $10,335,000. portion of this increase, $1,360,000, is due to the fact tfiat the steamship companies have increased their rates of transportation of Chinese from San Francisco to Hongr Kong, from $35 to The remaining portion of the increase is due to the fact that the first estimate did not include the expenditure in the courts, which, the enforcement of the act renders necessary.

First Auditor of the Treasury gives the opinion that $35 per capita will prove a low estimate of cost under this 'head in California, while the amount will be greatly increased In the other States. As an example of the maximum of such costs, the Auditor instances the fees of a United States friarshal in a deportation case in that State, in which the fees reached $450. The Auditor thinks that $70 is a fair average, of such costs, outside, at the the expense of confinement, which is from 60 cents to $1 per day, and it would therefore increase the amount necessary indefinitely." 1 attempt to secure a night, session of the Senate is now postponed until next If Senator Voorhees fails in the effort or fails in retaining a quorum, the Senate will be In better mood for coming to an understanding. It is understood that some Republican advocates of repeal will decline to assist the Democratic coworkers to the extent of sitting up nights with them. Senator Pugh, says the silver men Invite the test, and When it is once begun, they will themselves see the session is made continuous.

The greater part of the talk of compromise is still on the line of Faulkner's amendment with the bond provisions added. There is, however, a new proposition looking to the continuation of the Sherman act for the definite time of two or three years, but the suggestion has not met with general favor on either side. FIFTY-THIRD CONQRBSS. EXTRA SESSION. WASHINGTON, Oct.

the Associated Press.) SENATE. Senator Blackburn of Kentucky substituted an amendment to the bill repealing the sliver purchasing clause of the act of 1S90. It strikes out the Voorhees substitute, leaving the bill as it passed the House, and then provides for the free coinage of silver of American The Secretary of the Treasury is authorized, on the first day of each month to establish, the selgnorage to be charged for the following month, which is to be the difference between the market price of silver bullion and the minted value after coinage. This selgnorage is not to be coined, but is to be sold by the Secretary of the Treasury for gold, to be used for the purpose of maintaining the parity of gold and silver, Senator Allen of Nebraska, 'offered a resolution, which went over, calling for information as to whether the government has, since March, 1875, borrowed, any money. Thtf resolution heretofore offered by Senator Peffer of Kansas for a select icortimlttee to Inquire what legislation is -jiacessary to remove the banking sys- of the country, was taken up, and Senator Stewart of Nevada spoke on He confined himself to a criticism of the Secretary of the Treasury for falling to purchase 4,500,000 ounces of diver per month.

The debate was continued by Senator Peffer. Senator McPherson of New Jersey moved the reference of the resolution to 'the. Committee on Finance. It was so referred by a vote of 35 to 28. The resolution offered some days since by Senator Morgan of Alabama Instructing the Committee on Judiciary to report whether any provisions of the coinage act of 1873 were in force, was laid before the Senate, and was agreed to without discussion.

Th repeal bill was taken up this afternoon. Senator McPherson of New Jersey gave notice that he woujd ad-, dress the Senate upon the bill on Mon day. Senator Call of Florida resumed his speech against the bill, which was begun on Wednesday. He made a lenginy 'argument in advocacy of the amendment suggested by him requiring all silver bullion in the treasury be coined into dollars, half-dollars and quarters, at the existing ratio of 16 to ui," He also looked with favor on the4, amendment proposed by Senator Blackburn, and a lengthy discussion ensued between, Senator Dolph of Oregon and "himself, as to the effects of these amendments.

The very ground upon which they were built was torn and rent.

The pier has disappeared. Only a heap of oyster shells marks the spot where it stood. Not a leaf remains upon the luxuriant shade trees, and the trees, for the most part, are prostrated, and growing fields are blotted from the face of the landscape.

red paint; Prof. Putnam Replies to the Strictures of Miss Sicktls. WASHINGTON, Oct. 6. (By the Associated Press.) In a report to the Commisloner of Indian Affairs, Prof.

Putnam, in charge of the ethnological exhibit at the World's Fair, denounces as falsehoods the charges made by Miss Slckels, chalman of the Universal Peace Union, that brutal and cruel exhibition of Indian dances were given at the fair. The accusations are characterized aS a misrepresentation. There has been' no representation4 of the Indian sun-dance, and there has not been a single Indian tribe of the United States which has taken part In any exhibition except the Navajoes, who have been quietly sitting In their huts, weaving and making silver work. Indians from Vancouver Island, who are entirely outside of the Jurisdiction of the United States, have given exhibitions, performing ceremonial songs and dances. One ceremony consists of jucrglery when the Indians pretend to beat themselves with clubs and appear to become covered with blood.

These clubs have little tubes, made of kelp, filled with red paint. This paint is forced out when the tubes are pressed against the body, and this gives the appearance of blood. Even this exhibition, which la purely jugglery, and of the same class as the Jugglery of the Hindoos and others, is in itself of considerable scleptlfic importance and Interest, as illustrating a custom which has been in "AxlBtence with these people from time tftimemo-rlal. It was performed once, rind then by the wish of the Indians themselves, without the previous knowledge of the commissioners, and they were directed not to give the exhibition again. INTO LINE.
