WASHINGTON, May s.
The fact that President Arthur had
signed the Chinese bill was communicated
to representative of the associated Press
this afternoon, through an indirect but
entirely trustworthy channel, very soon
after the important event occurred. The
President did not, however, send any
notification of his bill to the House to-
day, and this delay in transmitting the
customary official notice seems TO indicate
that he has made mp his mind to accom-
pany the notification with a special
message such as was outlined in these
dispatches of Saturday, namely, one to
show that the fourteenth and fifteenth
sections of the bill are not really obnox-
ious to Eastern criticism, but are simply
declaratory of the existing law concern
ing the naturalization and of the unmis-
taxable intent and purpose of the treaty
as to what classes are included III the
general term "laborers" Tomorrow
will be regular Cabinet day, and if the
President still adheres to the idea of
sending in such message, it will doubt
less be then read to his constitutional adj
visers with u view of perfecting the argu-
ment or its phraseology or possibly of
determining whether or not any such ex-
PLANTATION ON the defensive action of his
party is actually advisable.
The Supreme Court of the United
States denied the petition for writ of
habeas corpus in the Mason case. The
court martial have full jurisdiction to
try him and the proceedings within their
| jurisdiction and the sentence not in ex.
cess of its power

Minnesota is excited over two attempts
to blow up, with internal machines. was
made about two weeks ago in public
hall when large audience was present,
but the machine missed fire. Saturday
night terrific explosion aroused the
citizens, when it was found box of ex-
plosives had been placed in the basement
of building in the east end of the
bridge, which is occupied by DIR. Greaves.
The basement walls were completely out
and good deal of damage done to the
medicine in the office. Nothing else was
injured and nobody hurt. Some citizens
connect these acts of deviltry with the
raid once made by James and Younger
brothers.
