ITS EFFECT ON THE COAST.
The Recently Passed Chinese Exclusion
Bill.

The news of President CleveIand's
approval of the Chinese exclusion bill
was received at San Francisco on the lst
IA st. with marked degree of interest.
Large crowds congregated around the
newspaper bulietin-boards and dis
cussed the situation. The CHI
nese manifested considerable ex-
citement. The principal subject of
discussion is as to what effect the meas
ure will have upon the several thou
sand Chinese who have arrived there
within the past year and been landed
by the federal courts upon writs of ha
beas corpus, and are out on bail await
ing examination; and also upon the 3,
0C3 more Chinese who are now on their
way. About 200 Chinese arrived on the
steamer city of New York. The Belgic
is due with 500. Three other steamers
are now on the Paci6c with over ] 900
Celestials bound for San Francisco.
Collector Hager and lawyers generally
think the bill will not be effective be-
cause the Chinese will continue to be
landed on writs of habeas corpus as
heretofore. They are allowed to give
bail and fOrfeiting this thev remain in

TIE FREDERICK DIARN.
Comments of the Press on the Attitude
kiSnl lrrl

Comments of the Press on the Attitude of
Bismarck.
The London News of the 2Sth says it
is stated that the publisher of the
Deutsche Rundschau has given to the
public prosecutor in Berlin the name
of the person who contributed the cX-
tracts from Frederick's diary, and
that the contributor is not
politician. The whole Vienna press
censures Bismarck for his action in con-
nection with the publication of the ex-
tracts. The papers say that his pur-
pose is to root from the hearts of Ger
mans the memory of Liberal emper-
or. The Berlin correspondent of the
Times believes that Frederick's s diary
was revealed by DR.. Gefincken,
of Hamburg, the confidant of Fred
erick, and a frequent contributor
to English magazines on German poll
tics The Standards Berlin correspond
ent says that if the person named by
the Deutsch Rundschau proves to be
the contributor, an action Will probably
be directed against him-probably for
treason-in the imperial court ut Leip-
sic. The publisher of the Rundschau
had 10000 copies ready for sale.
The Times gives prominence to let
ter signed "Jurisconsult," " pointing out
that Prince Bismarck in saving that the
Crown Prince Frederick was not Ell
trusted with state secrets argues against
himself whilst his own reference TO the
old empercr's distrust of Frederick and
the British court is much more like the
diyulging of state secrets.

This morning the whole city was again
startled by the news that two more mur-
ders had been added to the list of mvs-
terlous crimes that has recently been
committed in Whitechapel. At an
early hour it was known that another
woman had been murdered and a
report was also current that there was
still another victim. This report proved
true. The two victims, as in the former
cases, were dissOlute women of the
poorest class. That the motive of the
murderer was not robbery is shown by
the fact that no attempt was made to
despoil the bodies. The first murder
occurred in narrow court of
Bernsrs street. at an early hour
this morning, beneath the windows of a
foreigners Socialist club. concert
was In progress ana many members of
the club were present. But no sound
was heard from the victim. The same
process had been followed as in other
cases. The woman bad been seized by
the throat and her cries choked, and
the murderer, with one sweeping cut,
had severed her throat from ear to ear
A man on entering the court stumbled
over the body which YVES lying only two
yards from the street. A stream of
warm blood was flowing from the body
into the gutter. The murderer had evi-
IDENTIFY been disturbed before he had
time to mutilate his victim. The
second murder was committed three
quarters of an hour later, in Mitres
Square, five minutes walk from the
scene of the first crime. Policemen
patrol the square every ten minutes
The body Of the unfortunate woman
had been disemboweled, the throat cut
and the nose severed. The heart and
lungs had been thrown aside, and the
entrails were twisted into the gaping
wound around the neck.
LONDON, Oct. 2.-rhe CORPSE of wo-
man was this evening found in vault
on TIE site of the projected Opera
House, on the Thames embankment.
The Lead and arm had been severed
from the body and an arm Is missing. The
news spread like wild-fire and thou
sands upon thousands of people rushed
to the scene. The Thames embankment
and adjacent streets are crowded with
agitated and surging masses. The ex-
element throughout the city is fearful.
