CHINESE EXCLUSION.
Another Effort to Save the administration
from an Awkward Dilemma.


Another Effort to Save the administration
from an Awkward Dilemma.
WASHINGTON, Sept l9.-The resolution re
ported by Senator Edmunds this morning from
the committee on foreign relations. insiructing
the President Of the Senate to withhold, until
further direction OF the Senate, the transmits
sion to the House of the Chinese restriction bill.
has not effected its purpose. The passage of the
measure was duly announced to the House when
the motion to reconsider was defeated. The act
was then enrolled, sigued by the Speaker, and
yesterday, about o'clock. was signed by the
President OF the Senate. The clerk Of the COM
mittes on enrolled bills took 1t last night over
to the House. but that body had q
journed and there Was no one to rsesss
it, so it remained In the custody of the Sers,e
committee over night, and was actually ia the
possession OF the Senate when the resolution OF
the foreign relations committee was reported.
The rules of the Senate, at first reading. seem
to provide that the defeat OF q motion TO recon-
slider shall he final disposition, so far as the
jurisdiction Of the Senate IL concerned, 10 any
pending question, though upon this point there
is room for slight difference Of opinion. Sem
ator Bowen. chairman Of the Senate COMMITTEES
on enrolled bills, after careful examination
OF the rule, held that the an
nouncement to the House Of the
passage Of the bill Was virtual
surrender Of its custody, and he took the re-
sporsibity Of permitting his clerk to proceed
In the discharge OF lis duty, as usual. There
upon, at quarter before / o'clock to-day, the
enrolled bill. duly signed. ready for transmission
to the President, was delivered TO the proper
officers Of the House.
The Chinese restriction bill seems to have
met with another obstacle. Representative XII
gore, acting chairman Of the House committee
on enrolled bills whose duty it will be TO carry
the bill to the President, has decided to hold It
back. as an act OF courtesy IN the Senate. 70
give opportunity for action on the resolution
OF the foreign relations committee.
