ESPECIAL TO THE SENTINEL
WASHINGTON, April Ex-senator Farley,
in conversation with your correspondent
this afternoon, says he will not press any
amendment to increase the term beyond
10 years, because he believes any such at
tempt would j~eopardize the enactment OF
the bill. He will, however, make an eff
fort to have the sections prohibiting Chi
nese naturalization, and defining the term
Chinese laborers retained in the bill, and
he is confident that they will be retained.
Congressman Berry, in speaking of the
new bill to-day, expressed great dissatis-
faction, not only because the term of sus-
pension is reduced to 10 years, but also
because it provides no punishment for
those Chinese who may continue to slip in
unlawfully, and more especially because it
provides no check upon the issuance of
certificates by the Chinese Government e1-
cept on the good faith of China, which he
does not believe in. While, however, he
strongly prefers the original bill in all
these particulars, he says he would rather
nave Chinese immigration suspended for
only a day, than not have it suspended at
all. Therefore he hopes the present bill
will be passed, as there is no chance to get
any other during this session.

The Fitz John Porter Case.
PHILADELPHIA, April 19.-Counsel for
Fitz John Porter state that they never
took the position that the President had
the power to annul or set aside the finding
Of the court-martial, and the approval OF
the sentence dismissing him from the
army. They concur in this respect with
the opinion of the Attorney General, but
their view was that the President, under
the ~pardoning power, can remit that por-
ton Of the sentence which, by excluding
him from all offices under the Govern
ment, is now being daily executed, and
that Congress can by law restore him to
the army. They supposed the President
would exercise the %pardoning power, and
would carry out the recommendations of
the board Of inquiry, composed Of Gener-
ais Seoield, Terry and Gally.
