certain-fo be Again Considered
BY the Cabinet on Monday.

WASHINGTON. March 31.-Ths Cabinet
meeting today was devoted chiefly to
q consideration and discussion OF the
Chinese Immigration bill. II 10 under
stood NO conclusion was reached with
regard to It. and that the subject will be
again considered at Q Cabinet meeting
on Monday. There Is much speculation
tonight as to the Presidents attitude
toward this bill. but nothing positive Is
known with regard to bis intentions.
The California Senators and Representa-.
tives who have bad interviews with him
seem more confident tonight than they
did last night that the bill will BE-
signed.
The President announced at the close
Of the Cabinet meeting that Q special
session will be held on Monday, when
the Chinese bill will bs disposed Of.
Wednesday 10 the last day the President
can hold the bill.
Senators Miller, OF Californis, aud
Jones, Of Nevada, called ON the Presi.
dent after the Cabinet meeting. Both
are sure there will be NO veto. Others
who visited the President think the bill
will be returned to Congress with Q 70.
quest that the twenty-yesr clause be re-
duced to ton years when he will sign Il.
The drift OF outside opinion late TO-.
night seems to be In the direction OF .
veto. In support Of this II Is main
tanned that. in view Of the Presidents
retiospos to the friends Of the bill, and
sven his most intimate friends, their q.
psctations Of approval must be founded
to o certain extent on his consideration.

Tho Star Route Thieves.

WASHINGTON, March d. lngsrsoll
this morning began his argument for tho
defendants In the Star route cases on .
motion to quash the indictment. 10
said that the indictment was not found
in accordance with tho law, and held
that the statutes OF Maryland OF 1772
were still in force in the District OF Co.
lumbis. Under this statute Colonel
Ingersoll held that the Grand Jury must
either find an indictment OF their own
knowledge or ignore II. After the pre-.
sentiment, by order Of the Court In this
case, he claimed the Grand Jury had no
jurisdiction.
Judge wylis said that the whole thing
hinges on the question 80 to whether
the law Of 1772 Ia still In force In the
District. II IL Is. then tho motion to
quash must b sustained.
Colonel Ingersoll then continued his
argument to show that the law spoken
OF was still in force.

Action upon the anti. Chinese bill was

but what the final result will b il Is i'm
possible to predict. The pressure being
brought to bear upon the President for

Arthur's action is doubtful. No matter

The excitement ct Washington is not
confined to the probable action OF Pres

nor the foreign policy Of Frslinshuyssn

them there for ten minutes, licking q

molten lead, and even swallowing it, as
well as many others more daring, with
out apparent injury, no one knows, nor
has he ever revealed the secret. In
fact, it is doubtful ifhe can himself ex-
plain the mystry; but he can and does
handle bars ofiron glowing with white

hickory or oak wood, walk barefooted

Wealth i'm walnut Trees.

Mr.. C.. b. Wilson, of Jacksonville,
ILL.,, drove me out to his farm some time
ago to see some black walnut trees.
"1hese trees" he said,. were planted
from the seed twenty years ago. l saw
them planted" / measured these trees
and they were sixteen inches through.
They would saw into timber foot OF
clear black walnut boards, and then
have the top limbs and stumpS
left. The stumps itself would
sell to-day for five dollars to be sawed
into yeneers. The boards would be
worth thirty dollars. "That could you
sell those trees for to timber men as
they stand?" / asked. L could
sell them for seventy-fiye dol
lars per tree, and ten
wears from now they will be worth fifty
dollars From these fact, came to
this conclusion: A black walnut tree
will pay Sl.25 per year for the trst
twenty years. A thousand or them
will pay 81, 200 per year. Now every
Illinois farmer has had it in his power
to make more money off OF row OF
black walnut trees around his farm,
than he can make on his farm, If sowed
in wheat. How can he do 1t? InlS
way: A farm of l60 acres would be TO-
$50 feet in circumference. Now plant
walnut tree four feet apart all around it
and YOU will have 2,760 trees which
will be worth twenty-five dollars apiece
i'm twenty years. Again, farmer can
set all his sloughs, low places, and all
hog pastures into black walnuts.- Two
thousand handsome walnut trees grow
ing on a farm would be worth fifty
thousand dollars in twenty years, and
would not interfere with the farm at
all.
Orange raising in Florida will not pay
| halfs well as black walnut raising In
Illinois. Elbow should black walnut be
planted?" I asked Mr.. Bates, nur-
seyman at Whitehill, Ill. "The easiest
way" he said, lis to strike the ground
with a common hammer in the fall,
make a round hole two inches deep and
drop the walnut in. 1t will cover itself
with leaves anddust. The debris over the
kernel will be so light that the sprout
will have no trouble in finding its way
out. "What would you do after they
come up in the spring." "Pd 60
around and put shOvelful of saw-dust,
