Rumors Discr eai,ed.
| WASHINGTON, Marsh 27th.-Ru-
mors that President Arthur in
tends to veto the Chinese bill are
extensively circulated and find
some believers, but all the MEM
bers OF the Pacific Coast delegation
continue to feel cheerfully conf.
dent that he will on no account
fail to sign it.
The Star this evening says: The
rumor published in many papers
positively asserting that on ac-
count of the passage of the Anti
Chinese bill by Congress, the Chi
nese Minister would remove the
Legation to Madrid, is untrue. He
was originally accredited to Spain
as well as to this country and he
will 60 there this spring, but his
wife will remdin here until he re-
turns, and so will certain gentle
men of the Legation. 1t will be re-
mem mbered that the former Chinese
Minister, Chin Lau Pin, after re-
maining here few moHtbs went
to Spain to present his credentials
and then returned to Washington
to live.

text of the bill which has just

NEW YORK, March 27th.-The
Posts Washington correspondent
says: It Is certain that Secretary
Hunt is to leave the Navy Depart.
ment. He told a friend recently
that the President had decided to
remove him. At the time Of this
conversation the Secretary did not
know whether or not the Presi-
dent had any other place which he
designed to offer him. The gen.
eral impression is, however, that
some position of trust and profit |
will be rendered to Hunt. It is
now understood that the President |
decided to make the change some |
time ago but Hunt only know of
his intention within O few days.
The question of his successor ma.
turaliy excites great interest. w.
E Chandler is supposed to be the
coming man, He is very strongly |
backed by outside influence and
would be very acceptable to navy
| officers.

CHICAGO, March 27th.-The
Tlmes'S Washington special sends
an interesting dispatch founded on
the Presidents invitation to ex-
Secretary Blaine to his State din.
ner. 1t quotes Chauncey M.
Depew, the Presidents former in.
innate, as saying that it shows
Arthur's consummate tact. Depew
describes the President as an
adroit, fsr.seeing and eminently
tactful man. with plenty of re.
sources for emergencies. He will
make none Of those dangerous
small mistakes and he knows bet
ter than almost any New York
politician how to fight man po.
litically and keep OIL good terms
with him personally. He has not
allowed Blaine, therefore, to be-
come personally estraDged and
will not allow 1t. So long as
Blaine fights like gentleman he
and Arthur will be as close as they
always have been personally and
have mutual respect and ad-
miration for each other.
