me, done nothing, felt almost like one

done nothing to merit it.
That night, with the government ON.
Ger. and the rheumatic old man who had
represented in himself for many years
the constabulary of Ethelton, l took
position in the wood commanding a view
of the old stump, which at my urgent
request, they had not examined.
The hours passed on, past the witch
ing hour of twelve, and still nothing the
peared, and nothing was heard save ap'
dismal hooting of an owl on tree near
by. My companions had lost faith IN
me, and thought my story either a fabri-
cation, or else what l had seen was the
result of heated imagination, and were
preparing to return. was disheartened
but had not lost faith, it would walk
again. Urged by me they resumed their
seats. and we had scarcely relapsed into
stiffness when, softly and noiselessly as
before, came the white robed figure
through the woods.
With bated breath we watched. It
moved directly to the stump, put in some
parcel, and was about to leave when the
officer seized it. The ghostly visitor
proved to be the aged postmaster, who
was afterwards proved to be confirmed
somnambulist, and in the hollow stump
was found every missing letter, together
with many other small articles. 1t is
probable that this somnambulism re-
suited from or caused his illness.
What became of Miss Cornell! She is
no more. On the other side of the table
as write sits Clara, my wife, and in the
corner, doing in his chair, sits the white
haired somnambulist.

WARRINGTON, March 3l.-The Cabi-
to the confederation and diDou1oion Of
the Chinese immigIation bill. It n I'M
defstood that No conclusion was reached
In regard to It, and that the subject will
again be considered at . Cabinet meet
ing Monday.
There h much speculation tonight -
to the Presidents attitude towards this
bin, but nothing positive n known with
regard to his intentions. The California
Senators and Representatives who have
had interviews with the President
seem M. ne confident tonight than they
did last night that the bill will be
signed.
The drift Of outside opinion late to-
night seems to be in the direction of q
veto, and in support of this 1t is MAIN
tanned that in view of the Presidents
reticence to friends Of the bill and even
to his most intimate friends. their ex-
pectatiOns of approval must be founded
to y certain extent on his consideration
of the bill.
The Senate to-day passed the bill in
troduced by Senator Hill, of Colorado,
to allow adverse mining claimants to
make necessary affidavits by authorized
agents in the local district or else in per-
son before the clerk of any court of rec
ord. The present law, as construed by
the Interior Department, requires oaths
to be made in person and in the districts
wherein the claims are situated.
The President announced at the close
0fthe Cabinet meeting that u special
session will be held Monday, when the
Chinese bill will he disDOsed of. We'd
nesday is the last day the President can
hold the bill.
Senators Miller, of California, and
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 are
of the opinion that the bill will he re-
turned to Congress with y request that
the 10 year clause be reduced to ten,
when he will sign 1t.
