Quarter.
Especial to the Press. /

WATERvILLE, August 18.-The report
that Nelson made mile In 2.1o at Independ-

about a mile in 21O has been received here.
Superintendent Littlefeld of Sunnyside
Farm not only says the report is not true,
but that it is impossible for any horse to trot
a mile In 2.10t Saturday and another on Sun
day In 2.10
h0rsemen that G. FL. Nelson. who is noted
for the good care which he bestows upon his
horses. should so abuse the king of stations.

WASHINGTON, Nov. l6.-Concerniug
the Law in the case of the United States
excluding Bew, a Chinese laborer. upon
the subje,t Chief Justice Fuller says 1t
will be seen the case involves a construc-
ton Of the Chinese restriction act and
the treaties between the United States
and China The Chinese restriction act
as amended made the Identification of
Chinese other than laborers who were en-
tirely excluded in a mode provided, the
sole evidence of their right to enter the
United states. Manifestly the question
involved as to whether the act should be
construed in view of the treaties. Is one
of gravity and importance, and involves a
matter of International concern. The
case it holds has no connection with the
Chinese case heretofore decided and re-
lied upon to exclude Bew. for the reason
in that case the man was a laborer and
not a merchant. The court is therefore
OF the opinion that there are sufficient
grounds shown for a writ of certioari.
