WASHINGTON, Sept 2l.-Nord was received
by Secretary Bayard, late in the evening, that
the Chinese governments has finally rejected
the convention The reasons for the action of
the Emperor and his council are not given, but
there il little doubt that the presp,tancy Of the
American administration In rushing o measure
through the House solely for political effect had
a great deal to do with the action Of the Celes-
tials. In any event the President has been
helped out of a very unpleasant predicament by
the action taken by tho Chinese. IL Mr.. Cleve-
land himself had had 3 string attached to the
Chinese Emperor he could not have used him as
q puppst more effectively. His Serene Hiehuess
has played into the hands Of the President of
the United States. and the President is. in con-
sequence, relieved from strain that promised
TO break him all up. Mr. Kileore took the ex-
elusion bill TO him to-day. and Democratic mem
bers of the House were, in consequence, very
with IL; but the news from China will prevent 1
him from passing another sleepless night and
will probably give all the ground be desires for
attaching his signature TO this measure in the
quickest possible time.
