Evidently the Work of the Man Who Re
Gently Robbed New York Banks.
MONTREAL, Oct. ia young man walked
into the Bank OF Quebec early yesterday
afternoon. He carried an empty soap box,
and no attention was paid to him by the

any one else in the bank. The teller's atten-
tion was distracted for an instant. Then the
soap box was thrown upon the floor, the young
man reached over the guard railing, picked
up bundle Of bank notes and darted into
the street. When the bark clerks recovered
from their astonishment and tried to give
chase the thief had disappeared The poles
were notified and detectives put on the case,
but without success mp 30 last night The
bank officials refuse to tell how much was
stolen, but rumor and remarks dropped by
the teller while excited places the amount at
from IS, 900 to $1,000

the same afternoon was captured after

PARIS, Oct l6-The chamber OF deputies
reassembled yesterday Cen Boulanger was

The introduction Of the bill was greeted with

pressed the belief that ths nation desired that
the constitution be revised The republic, be
said, would remain It's existencs was beyond

was not proposed by revising the constitn-
ton to destroy republican, tnztitutions, but 10
improve them. The reviaon WINS rather
aimed against royalist plots and plots for the
creation OF a dictator . isst H
NJ. Floquet added that the bill proposed to
grant tho ministers legal period during
which they should remain in power. The
ministers would thus be less preoccupied with
votes OF the chambers. At the same time the
chambers would always possess the right to
impeach ministers. In concluding. he said
he was convinced that an agreement would
be obtained for the proposals from Republi-

JOHN MUST STAY OUT
The Chinese Exclusion Bill
Declared Constitutional.
JUDGE sAwYEHs OPINION GIVEN.

Over $4,000 chinsmep Affected by It.
Those In the Harbor and on Aie Way
Must Go Bsck--The Cass WIN be Car
ricd 10 the United States Supreme Court.
SAN Francisco, Oct 16.--Judgo Sawyer,
in the United States supreme court, affirmed
tho constitutionality or the recent Chinese
exclusion act, and held that all Chinese now
in the harbor, as well as those now on the
way from China, nauat BE sent back
Counsel for the Chinese gave notice that
they would appeal the cases 70 the United
States supreme court. 1t IL estimated that
-, 900 Chinese are affected by tho decision OF
tho court, as there are still over $1,000 return
certificates outstanding, and IL is believed
there are about 1900 Cinnamon in their
native country who had lived hers before the
restriction art was passed, and who before
the passage OF the exclusion act were entitled
70 re-enter this country az prior residents.T
About 900 Chinese have arrived here since
the exclusion bin became a law. and about
200 others are now on their way from China.
The decision OF the court declares that the
language of the act il clear and capable OF
bearing but one construction. 1t begins TO
operate from the moment IL wns approved by
the president and although the petitioners
IN these cases were upon the high seas at that
hme 1t nevertheless operates upon them.
There is no specific contract between the
United States government and individual
Chinese laborers by which the latter should
be entitled TO return after once having this
couutry,a return certificates Is not a con-
tract but only an instrument Of evidence TO
establish the identity Of party already en-
titled TO certain privileges under contract t,e-
tween the United States and the Chineae gov
ernnents--conferring rights and privileges
as long as they are in force. T.ft NsNs
The court holds that the right Of congress
10 legislate In such matter as to control and
repcal stpulations os treaties has been
clearly recognized, the net OF congress upon
amy subject within its legislative p0weriis as
binding hpon the courts as d treaty on the
same subject; both are binding, exoept,as the
latter one conflicts or interferes with the
/ former Nf3
Upon the point urged by counsel for the
| Chinese that the act is unconstitutional on
account of ita being an ex post faeto law, the
court states; I'VE do not find any element OF
OK post facto law in the act There is moth
ing In the nature OF an offense In China
mans departing from this country, and his
departure is not made an offenss, and there
Is nothing in the nature OF the punishment or
Of the penalty imposed for the act, OF having
departed from this country. In providing, in
the interest Of the people OF the United States,
That Chinamen who have left this country
shall not be permitted TO return, congress
simply ropaals prior law founded upon the
stipulations Of the treaty with China"
