WASHINGTON, March 29.-No decision will be
reached by the President On the Chinese bill until

the meantime giving the subject careful considera-
ton, and it is stated by some of the Presidents
friends that no one really knows his purpose re-
gardng it, if indeed he has really come to a conclu-
sion.
The bill was first referred to the Secretary of
State for Lis views, which were, it is understood
that the exclusion for so long a period as twenty
years was virtual violation of the treaty, and
called for veto The bill had not been referred to
the Attorney General up to to-day, and it is not
certain whether there will be any formal reference
Of it to that officer. Those of the Presidents friends
who have taken special interest in the subject and
have been anxious that he should sign the bill are
as confident as ever that there will be no Veto

regarding retaliatory action by the Chinese Govern

The fact is that the chief thing which interests

decided not to make any nominations to the
Cabinet before next week. The instructions
given to Mr.. Trescot by the present Secretary
of State are the subject of much comment at
Washington. The President is considering the
Chinese bill thoroughly before signing or de-
Gliding to veto it. The debate in the House yes
terday upon the Tariff Commission bill was
not spirited.
