Exoitamant on tha Coast.


SAN FRANCESCA Oct. 1.-The news
of President Cleveland's approval of
the Chinese exclusion bill was received
here to-day with a marked degree of
interest. Large crowds cOngregated
around the newspaper bulletin boards
and discussed the situation. The Chi
neSe manifested considerable excite
ment. The principal subject of discus
sion here is as to what effect the meas
ure will have upon the several thous-
and Chinese who have arrived here
within the past year and beeu released
by the federal courts on writs of habeas
corpus and are out on bail awaiting
examination, and also on the thous-
and or more Chinese who are now on
their way to this port. About two
hundred Chinese arrived here Satur-
day on the steamer City of New York
The Belgic will be due next Thursday
with eight hundred. Three other
steamers are now on the Pacific with
over thousand celestials bound for
this port.
Collector of the Port Hager, ex-
pressed himself to-day as being doubt
full of the bills effectiveness, the pres
ent bill he said. is intended to exclude
Chinese. So was the restriction act,
but did the restriction act exclude
them? If the same principle is ap-
piled to this bill as was apple d to
the other. l don't see that it
is going to be any great i'm
provement; if the courts can continue
to land Chinese on writs of habeas
corpus AMI allow them on our soil that
will abrogate any kind of restriction
attempted by congress- When they
are allowed bail, they arefin the eoun-
try and they then forfeit their bail and
remain here IL spite of the law. The
collector concluded by stating that in
all probability when officially informed
of the passage and approval of
the bill to refuse landing TO Chinese.
whether bearing return certificates or
not, unless writs of habeaS corpus were
issued by the courts, in which case the
matter would be out of his hands.
United States District Attorney
Carey stated that in his opinion the
bill could not affect the 5000 Chinese
now out on bail, but he believed that
those now on their way here would
be refused landing. He further stated
that he did not believe writs of habeas
corpus would be issued except, posi-
| bly,, in one or two cases in order to
make test of the matter.
Demonstrations were held in this
city and other places in this state this
evening to celebrate the passage and
| approval OF the bill.

The Samoan Question.

WASHINGTON, Oct. 3.-The Samoan
question has reached point which
makes its satisfactory settlement a
matter of great concern to the United
States. The most careful attention is
now being paid to it by the government.
President Cleveland has recently taken
hold of the subject. There is reason to
believe that it will soon be laid before
the cabinet for consideration. The re-
cent course OF Germany in Selling and
carrying off the Samoan king and set
ting I'D an insurgent in his place, GER
tainly appears fragrant violation of
the agreement between that govern
ment, Great Britain and the United
moan islands shall not be disturbed.
At last accounts the Samoans had re-
volted against the king set up by
Germans and had him and his party
cooped up in their capitol. 1t is easy
to see that complications more serious
than any that have gone before may
follow the present situation, and there
is strong feeling here that it is time
for the United States to take decisive
steps toward curbing Germany's ag-
greSSions. The continued independ-
ence and neutrality of the Samoan
Islands is of high Importance to this
government, especially, because the
islands will be practically in the track
of all vessels using either of the pro-
jected Isthmian canals. Opinions are
divided as to the best course for this
government to adopt, but from what
can-be learned in state department
circles, a move of some kind may be
expected soon and it will not be in the
direction of consenting to any further
aggressive violations of Germany's
agreement.

Jacksonville's Plague Takes Fresh hold in its
Work of Destruction.
JACKSONVILLE, Oct. 1.-The ScouTge
has increased in force again, and the
new cases reported for twenty-tour
hours number ninety-nine, Of which
twenty-five were whites and seventy
four colored. There were ten deaths.
Total number of cases to date, 2,275;
total number of deaths, 276. The mer-
curry last night fell nearly to the frost
line. It is cold tonight, but frost
before the last of October would break
the record for the past sixteen years.
The citizen association to-day referred
to the executive committee the ques-
ton of asking people Throughout the
country to discontinue contributions.
| Up to date there has been received
here s., SIC, S67. The distributions have
been 81, PA. 64S, leaving a balance on
hand of $162,2l9. The demands OF the
INDECENT have speadily grown from
ten thousand to thirty-two thousand
per week, but it is believed they viii
now decrease with the more stringent
measures adopted to prevent imposi-
ton on the part of those who have
practiced the grossest frauds to obtain
more rations than they were entitled TO.

The sioux Commission Rsuts.

CHICAGO, Oct. Judge John V.
Wright, law officer of the interior de-
partment of Washington; Capt Il. IL.
Pratt, United States army, Rev w. j.
Cleveland. cousin of President We've
land, who constitute the Sioux COM
mission. are in the city. In describing
the work under the bill providing for
the sale Of the Sioux reservation, they
said that the five days council with
the Indians from all agencies was dig
nified but manifested the best feelings
towards the commission. Red Cloud
is not ready to accept the terms of the
bill without some amendments. Gall
was not present because he said he WAS
too fat to stand "a wagon ride from the
agency to the council and Young
Man-Afraid- of-bis-Horses at the
agency was suffering from BriglIt's
disease. Most of the objections Of the
other Indians were reasonable, being
based mainly on methods whereby
monev for the lands was to be paid
them. They have received offers
from railroads i'll the past proposing to
give them 10000 COWS and
bulls. the consideration being
II right of way through the
lands. In 1882 the Edmunds
commission made similar offer. What
money be placed to their credit, the in
terest being paid yearly. They ask that
the government buy the land outright at
fifty cents an acre. They care not
what the government in turn sells for.
This would take s., SOC. 900. Some of
the land would be sold for $125 an acre,
while some would not be sold at all,
The government would favor the pur-
chase on these terms. but proposes to
make payments as fast as the lands are
sold. The Indian leaders desire to go
to Washington To consult with the pres
ident, so the commission decided to let
them do so. Their chieftains will pass
through Chicago on this mission a week
from next Thursday. The commission
will then go back to the reservation and
go to work again.

by legislation the exclusion from this

MINNEAPoLIs, Oct. S.-Flour has

examining a sunken steamshiD.

SAN FRANCISCO, Oct. 3.-Recently
the Pacific Coast Steamship company
employed Victor Hinston, a profess
sional diver, at $3.50 per day. to go
down and examine the machinery of
the steamer City of Chester, which was
sunk in the waters of the Golden Gate
last August by a collision with the
Oceanic. The diver located the vessel
in fifty fathoms, cut in two as if by an
immense saw. While looking into the
steerage the first thing which met his
eyes was the form of a man. Further
aft he saw another victim of the wreck
on his knees, grasping a third man
around the waist. The diver returned
to the surface and reported his disc0v-
cry to the officers, but nothing could
induce him to return to the wreck.

HISTORY OF THE WORD ETERNAL.
BY REV. J. W. HANSON, DID.
Chicago

1t is no less remarkable than aston
ishing and encOura ging that criticism
and scho larship in all churches, even
in those most hostile to our conclusions,
are advancing along the lines our
scholars have followed for a century
past. This is especially true of the
moot words over which the keenest
conflict has been waged. Little by
little, even when struggling against the
tendency in our direction, concessions
are being made until it seems as if all
the lines now being pursued by schol-
ars and critics of all schools, were con-
verging to the position we have for
long occupied.
a new illustration appears in The
Expositor" London, Holder & Slough
tom for April, in an able Article writ
ten by Rev. F. Kendall, NJ. A, late
Fellow of Trinity College, Cambridge,
entitled "HistOry Of the Word 'Eter-
nall"
The author declar es, as our own
church has long contended, that ai0niOS
should not be rendered everlasting, as
its meaning is not duration without
end, but rather pertaining to the aeon
to which it refers; that ai0n contains
the sense of life and time, and not of
eternity; that ai0ai0s and aion are in
correctly translated everlasting and
forever; that eternal laioniOnl life'' de-
notes the permanent life in Christ, and
not the endless existence of the soul,
etc. He betTays but one instance of
lack of information on the theme,
namely, when ne says that he has not
traced back the adjective further than
the time of Plato, not seeming to be
aware that classic literature before
Plato does not contain it, and, therefore,
that it is probable that Plato invented
it. He afirms that the substantive
does not signify eternity but the dura-
tion of that which is spoken of, as a
