Fast Cruiser OF English Build.

WAsHISGToS, May 16-With sOms in
terest naval architects in Washington are
awaiting further particulars Of the per-
formance Of . remarkable cruiser built in
England by the Armstrong; She is
named the Pisdmonte, and il said to have
made nineteen and . half knots under
natural draft and over twenty -ons knots
with forced draft The vessel measures
$50 tons. and carries engines Of 1850
horsepower, neatly treble the pro-
portionats horsepower Of the new
gunboat Yorktown. From the in
formation received at the Navy
Department it appears that the hull of the
ship weighs but 80 tons, and the lightest
possible construction. verging closely on
weakness, is indicated. Elements Of safe
ty and coavsnienes, such as double com
plets bottoms and handy coal bunkers
have been sacrificed for the sake Of light
ness in the new vessel account in large
measure for the wonderful speed said to
have been attained Nevertheless, al
though the ship was built for the Italian
Government, the British naval authorities
made strenuous but unsuccessful efforts to
purchase her from the builders

be equal to a speed Of four miles per min

ing Prof. A A Dolbear OF Tufts coli
lege, who announced that he was
thoroughly satisfied OF the success Of
the system. The inventor, John G. VIII

chine consists OF magnetic car. hanging
from q single rail, where it follows a streak
Of electricity. With one horse power it Is
said that one ton can thus be transported
q distance OF !, 40 miles day At n cost Of
thirty cents. This, in mail matter, would
represent some :, So, 600 letters, and By
this system packages Of mail could be sent
OF every i've minutes II necessary,

eIares the Chinese Exeiusion Act to Bo
Constitutional
WASHINGTON, Nay 1.-THE United States
Supreme Court on Monday rendered 4 de-
eision affirming the constitutionality Of the
Scott Chinese Exclusion act Chae Chang
Ping returned to this country shortly
after the passage OF the Scott act
which declared invalid the certificate
emitting him to return The col
lector at San Francisco refused TO al
low him to land, md suit was
brought in the United States District
Court to test the constitutionality Of the
Scott act, under the authority Of which the
collector acted The California courts
upheld the constitutionaIity OF the act
and from this decision the case came
here on appeal The court aifrms the
Judgment It holds that Congress has the
power TO abrogate treaty, and in support
Of that view cites the authorities Of the
courts on the subject, holding that the
propriety Of such action is not a matter
for judicial cognizanee, but that it is
matter for the political department. Con-
gress it says. has the power to exclude
aliens from the country whose presence =
deemed inimical TO our interestz
As TO the objection that the act Is In con-
fiict with treaties. the opinion, which was
given by Justice Field, says:
1T must be conceded that the act Of 1853 iS
in contraTention Of express stipulations OF the
treaty Of 1858 and Of the supplemental treaty
OF 1850, but il is not on that account in
valid or to be restricted in its enforcement
The treaties were Of no greater legal
obligation than the act Of Congress- By the
constitution laws made in pursuance thereof
aud treaties made under the authority OF the
United States are both declared 10 be supreme
Law Of the land. and no paramount authority is
given TO one over the other; the last expires
sion Of the sovereign viii must control"
The opinion says that the exercise Of the
powers Of government delegated to the
United States can not be transferred nor
hampered by any consideration Of private
interest. and adds:
The exercise OF these public trnsss Is not
the subject OF barter or contract Whatever
license, therefore, Chinese laborers may
