THE Pacific Coast members of Congres Andivary little ground for encouragement In the President's statement concerning the negotiations with the Chinese Government In regard to the subject of restricting Mon- golian immigration. They remark that this portion of the Message is so extremely general and diplomatis in its form of ex- pression that, although it may mean some thing practical, it may also mean practically nothing. They intend, therefore, to seek for a clear interpretation from its author, and if it be not satisfactory, to mature their plans for legislative action accordingly The California Representatives do not intend to introduce say considerable number of new measures immediately, but will take an early opportunity to cousalt with each other and with the Pacific Coast Bonsters as to the best means of attaluing, by bar monious and concurrent action, the objects in which all have a common interest. The principal subject for determination is, of course, the question as to what will be the best form and character of the bill upon which all can most effectively unite in an earnest and persistent effort to procure Federal restriction of Chinese immigration. All are hopeful that, with the aid of the rocant practically unanimous vote of the people of California, and the increased en lightenment of Eastern public opinion upon the subject, success may be attained during the present session, and all announce that no individual exertions shall be spared to

IN SUMMARY JURISDICTION,

The Message of President Hayes to Con- greas contains an important item in regard to their late Treaty with Japan, to the effect that it is likely to be imitated by other Powers, We cannot find any con Armation of this view, and believe the President has been misioformed by his Foreign Secretary.

The negotiations between the Telegraph Construction and Maintenance Company of the Hong Kong-Manila telegraph cable will, it is expected, be shortly completed.

EUROPEAN SENT TO JAIL FOR PERJURT.

Defendant swOTO be paid this balance in September last, and called as he witness Corporal Ruflin who swore to seeing the Chinaman receive money from the defendant on one day in that month. He saw a $5 note and some aliver pasa.

This alleged payment the plaintif fatly denied. The case bad been before the Commodore, who after enquiry refused to bave anything to do with It, and then plafatiff had been forced tuto Court where only he could get any romedy. The defendant, it was proved, said, when before the Commodore, that the ring was not gold, It was only washed with gold; that be had bought it for $450, whloh amount he had pald

The Master-at-arms on board the Fister Emanud gave evidence of the defendant admitting to the plaintiff on 2nd or 3rd November that he was due him a balance on the price of the ring of between $6 and $7, and he then promised to pay that amount at the Now Year. He had no doubt as to the Be also depored to the defendant's date, story before the Commodors. A Sergeant of marines corroborated this evidence.

All Honor gave judgment for the amount $6.80 with costs, although, he said, he had no idea how the plaintiff was to get his money. The defendant had been guilty of wilful and corra,t perjury, and would be contenged to three months' imprisonment with hard labour. Bad he any reason to urge why he should not thus be punished-!

Defendant had nothing to may save that he had paid the money.

The Judge said this was as plain and as gross a case of perjury as he had ever heard. He would be ashamed of himseli wore he ever to commit a Chinaman for perjury before this Court and allow this man to go

The Corporal persisted in saying that he saw money pass between the parties. He

did not know what it was for.

The Judge reminded the witness that, according to the version of both the plaintiff and defendant, there was no other tranzao. tou or dealings between them than the purchase of this ring, so that it was impos- sible he could have seen the money he stated pass between them. He certainly did not believe bis evidence. He believed he had
