WASHINGTON, April 3.-At the Cabinet
meeting to-day it was decided to return the
Chinese bill to the Senate with veto mes
sage on the ground that the twenty years
limit was violation of the treaty and sug-
gestions as to other notifications thought by
the President to be desirable. Secretaries
Frelinghuysen, Brewster and Kirkwood up
held the Presidents idea from the first and
Secretary Folger objected to the twenty years
limit. The Chinese minister is reported as
saying that this decision by the Cabinet is
one of wisdom and justice. The Chinese
would not SO much object to the ten years
limit, though they also hope for modifca-
ton of the clause that would practically re-
strict China's diplomatic representatives
from crossing or touching at port of the
United States. The disposition of the Chi
nese bill-removes the cause for delay in the
Cabinet nominations. Tt is now definitely
stated that Teller and Chambers names will
be sent in Wednesday for Secretary of the
Interior and Navy respectively.
Up to late hour the State department had
received no official notification of the death
of Minister Hurlburt.
1t is rumored tonight that President Ar
thur will nominate Governor Cornell as min
lister to England in place of James Russell
Lowell.
The Supreme Court to-day granted Mr..
Lyddy's petition in the Mason case and or
dered the rule served on the Attorney Gen
eral the Judge Advocate General, the keeper
of the penitentiary and the marshal of the
Northern district of New York to show cause
why habeas corpus should not be issued re-
turnable the 18th inst, when the jurisdiction
of the court will also be argued.
The Supreme bench now being full the
Chief Justice to- day announced assignments.
He also announced that no arguments would
be heard after the goth inst, and court would
adjourn for the term Monday, May Sth.
bill was introduced in the House to-day
by Mr.. Robson relieving the United States
Supreme Court of certain duties. 1t estab-
fishes federal Court of Appeal for the con-
sideration of cases where the sums involved
do not exceed $15, 900.
Scoville has prepared a petition to the
House asking that the bill to pay the medical
experts for the government be amended by
section authorizing the department of Justice
to audit and pay claims fer the legal services
of counsel for the defense.
The equipment of the money order depart
ment of the Postoffice department was
moved to the F street building to-day. The
present Office is 30 crowded that probe ct is
on foot to remove the land Office to the agri-
cultural department. 1t is thought strange
that the departments all so crowded
when nearly one thousand clerks recently
have been discharged from the census work,
the bureau of engraving and printing and
elsewhere.
