nant at the passage by the United States
senate of the amendment to the Chinese
exclusion bill Vice-Consul Wing, when
questioned on the subject, said: ''As
for myself it would not do for me to say
anything in my official capacity, but
personally think it is an outrage and
an insult to Chinese residents in this
country that viii not soon be forgotten.
1t was bad enough to stop further inn
migration from China. in obedience to
the clamor of political demagogues
and tiInid cranks; but the latest
movement has not even the shadow of a
reasonable excuse, except to gratuit-
ously insult every Chinaman in this
country, many OF whom have been here
for years and are thoroughly Ameri-

CURED by mourners at funerals. a fact
sufficiently well known before to have
originated the proverb: lone funeral

tie doubt that the luclzless prince

Prince Victor of Hohenlohe, and a
general protest has arisen against the
custom which demands that mourners
shall stand bareheaded at the grave in

that many deaths can be traced directly
TO this practice, and point out that the
dead cannot be benefited by the suffer

STORY ABOUT CLEVELAND.
Possibility That He May Withdraw From
the Presidential Race.


WASHINGTON, May 9.-Judge Chip
man, representative from Michigan and
staunch Cleveland man, said yester-
day that he was told by man who was
close friend of Cleveland and who had
an interview with the eX-president a
few DAYS ago that there was reason to
believe that Cleveland might soon with
draw his name from the presidential
canvass.
''The man with whom I talked" said
Representative Chapman, sis perfectly
reliable and the sum and substance of
it is this: Cleveland is not in a selfish
attitude. believe that he can get the
nomination if he will take it. There is
no doubt of his popularity with his party,
but after the nomination comes the
question of his election. This question
Cleveland is as much alive to as anybody.
Nor does he overlook the situation in
New York. Cleveland is not going to
take the nomination if it threatens party
defeat. He will think first and last of
his party. His mind is by no means clear
that it is either best or expedient to name
him. He is still considering it. For
this reason should his conclusions go
that way he may announce his with
drawal. No, do not wish to be quoted as
having any opinion in the matter of
what is best for Mr.. Cleveland to do.
