CHINAMEN CAN'T COME In
THE SENATE REFUSES TO RECON.
SLIDER IT'S VOTE.

William E. Chandler Cast the Decisive
Eanot-Mr. Blair Greatly Surprised
by His Colleagues Action, but the
Latter only Smiled-Cleveland's POSI-
sible Courses.
WASHINGTON, Sept. 7.-The hour Of
o'clock having arrived, this afternoon the
Senate proceeded TO vote on Mr. Blairs mo-
tton to reconsider the vote passing the Chi
nese exclusion bill The motion was re.
jected by vote of 90 yeas to 81 nays, so
the bill remains passed, and now goes to the
President for his approval. The vote was
as follows:
Yeos.-Messrs Bate, Blackburn, Blair, Brown,
Call, Cockren Edmunds, Evarts, George, Cor.
man. Hampton, Harris, Hoar Jones Of Arkan-
sas, Morgan, Pasco, Pngh. Sherman, Wilson of
Iowa and Wilson of Maryland-2o
N1Rs.-Messrs. Allison, Berry Chandler
Coke, Dolph, Farwel Frye. Hearst. Hiscock,
Jones Of Nevada, Henderson, Mitchell. Payne,
Platt, Plumb. Spooner, Stewart, Stockbridge,
Teller, Vost and Walhall-21.
CHANDLER SETTLED IT.
William e. Chandler sent the bill annul-
ing the certificates given to Chinese
formerly residents here, but now in China)
to the President by his vote. Mr.. Dawes,
who might have defeated 1t, did not vote,
and was not paired when the motion to re-
consider the vote by which the bill was
passed was voted on.
On Friday last, Mr. Blair, who made the
motion, announced that his colleague Mr..
Chandler, was in favor of the motion, and
that ho would, therefore, pair him with one
of its opponents, which he did. When Mr..
Chandler voted against the motion TO re-
consider to-day, Mr.. Blair felt called upon
to get up and explain that his announce
mont about Mr.. Chandler's position, Friday,
was by Mr.. Chandler's authority MI.
Chandler only smiled at this
THE TRIO FROM THE SLOPE.
The Pacific coast trio Messrs Stewart,
Mitchell and Jones, who have carried this
bill through in the Senate by sheer hard
work, got hold of Mr.. Chandler as soon as
he got back Saturday night, and persuaded
him that it was good politics" to vote
against reconsideration. "It makes US solid
in California" they said, "where we would
DO hurt by reconsideration, and it may put
the President in "A hole"
The latter suggestion carried Mr.. Cband&
ler's mind. The question among the sena-
tors tonight is what the President win do
with the bill. 1t is the intention TO send it
to him tomorrow, but he will hardly get 10
in time for consideration at the cabinet
meeting, SO it Is probable that he will
not act upon it until the end
of the week. The general expectation
seems to be that he will sign the bill, or else
let it become a law without his signature,
but a stringent veto would not surprise the
shrewdest senator's. The Presidents action
will depend on hearing of further informa-
tion from China. Minister DENLY has been
asked to cable an account of the present
situation at once.

intended by Miss Cornelia Jackson of
Atlanta.
No charity is half so sweet and gracious
as that which needs no promptlngs other
than the impulses Of noble hearts. The
charitable spirit of Battery Parks little
folks is certainly commendable.

sonville Not to Their Liking.
CHARLESTON, s. c., Sept. 17.-The dump
ing of 400 yellow fever refugees at Hender-
sonville has caused much uneasiness here,
as quite a number of Charlestonians have
summer residences in that vicinity. The
city was very prompt. however, to estab-
lish quarantine, wEich will be rigidly en-
forced. 1t will probably be mauy years be-
fore Hendersouville will again try TO follow
Atlanta's example, and invite yellow fever
refugees to come in. A gentleman, who re-
turned from Hendersonville here with his
family to day, said that scme enthusiasts,
who had been reading the Atlanta
Constitution, and its boasts about
the opening OF the city's doors 4 to
refugees thought it would be good thing
for Hendersouville to initiate Atlanta. Tho
idea was that about score of northern
mllliunaires, who had settled in Florida,
would be induced to come to Hendersonville
and settle there spend their millions and
develop the place. Instead of that they
find train load Of 500 people in needy cir
cumstances, many of them refugees and a
good many of taeln already down with the
fever upon their hands for at least two
months. A good deal OF Indignation is felt,
especially by the Charleston residents OF

Justice Fields Declines to Revoke or
Tighten the Sentence.
SAN Francisco, Sept. 17.-David s.
Terry, formerly justice of the supreme
court of California, who was recently com
mitted to jail for six months by Justice
Field of the United States supreme court
for contempt in assaulting the marshal dur
Ing during the progress of tho Sharon case
in the United States circuit court Il
few days ago, petitioned to tho
court for a revocation of this sentence.
Justice Field announced the decision of the
court to-day and denied the petition. Judge
Terry claimed in his petition that he did not
intend to say or do anything disrespectful
to the court, and that he did not assault the
marshall until that officer had first assaulted
him.
GIST OF THE DECISION.
Justice Fields decision, which was very
lengthy, reviews the circumstances of con-
tempt and declares that when the marshal
undertook to execute the order of the court
and remove Mrs. Terry from the court
room for her language to the court,
Judge Terry interfered and struck
tho marshal and that afterward
Judge Terry when just outside OF the
court room drew knife, which he was
prevented from using by a deputy and
the petition declares that Judge Terry's
statements are not in accordance with the
facts as they occurred under the immediate
observation of the court, or with the
accounts Of other parties present.
4 DEADLY WEAPON.
He also declared that Judge Terry vio-
lated the law by coming into the court
room with n deadly weapon concealed on
his person, and as an attorney committed
an outrage upon professional propriety
which rendered him liable to be disbarred
Justice Fields decision concludes as fol-
lows:
Therefore, considering the enormity of
the offenses committed, and the position of
honor once held In this state,
which aggravates them to degrees not
imputablo to the generality Of offenders,
the court, With proper regard 10 be shown
the dignity and ma jesty Of the law, and the
necessity of impressing upon all men that
forcibls resistance TO the lawful orders of a
court of the United States, will not go un-
punished, however high the offender !
cannot grant the prayer Of the petitioner,
and it is accordingly denied"

NEW YORK, Sept. 1.-THE result OF the
autopsy on the body of Prof Proctor was
forwarded to the health board to-day. 1t
states that decomposition was SO far ad-
vanced that it was impossible to arrive at
the definite cause of death. The organs
presented no evidence whatever Of perni-
cious remittent fever, or other form of
malarial disease such as, even in
the condition of decomposition pre-
sented by the body, would ordinarily
be apparent The kidneys showed the
