Attack Of Indigestion.

WAsHINGTON. jan 6.-Great excitement
was caused in the Department of State THIS
forenoon over the sudden illness OF Secre-
tary Blaine The nature Of the Illness IS
not at present known. but it is said to be
due altogether to a temporary stomaehlc
arrangement. The alarm subsidized about
noon. when the Secretary, who was at
tended by physicians from the War and
Navy departments, was reported resting
quietly and being entirely out Of danger.
The Secretary was removed to his home IN
a carriage. He is now reported to be much
improved and il is expected he Will be able
to be out tomorrow.
Secretary Blaine's slight attack of Illness
while at his desk at the State Department
to-day soon passed off. but the incident
caused the greatest excitement for time,
and the entire department was quite de-
moraliZed for a couple Of hours. The Sec
rotary was at his desk in the great dlp0-
matte eeeptiOn-T0om where he tranezlcts all
his business while at the department., ana
about noon he began TO feel unweI. lie
rang for the messenger, and was soon sur
rounded by his assistants Nausea WAS the
most marked symptom, but the attack
seemed TO pass rapidly, and in about an
hour the Secretary was sufficiently recoV-
cred to be taken 20 his house IN carriage

opinion that the Secretary had rather ever

ANTI-CHINESE ACT.
Bill introduced by Congressman Outline Of
California.

WASHINGTON, Jan. 6.-Mr. Cutting has
introduced in the House the Chinese Ex-
clusiOn Bill that he had previously sub
mitted TO the Acknowledgement and a jus
tice of the Supreme Court, securing their
approval The first two sections are copies
of bill reported by the committee to the
House of Representatives at the last session
OF Congress, with the words "laborer or
laborers" substituted for "perSOn or per-
sons"
Section is a substitute for Section o.
the act of May 6, 1882, as amended by the
act Of July 5, 1884, with the change
that the section shall apply to persons OF
the permitted class coming to the United
States for the first time
This change, Mr.. Cutting says, is In ac-
coTdance with the decisions of the United
States Circuit Court of the Ninth Circuit,
and the regulations OF each succeeding Sec
TetarY of The Treasury from the passage OF
the administratOry act of July 5, 1884, 10
the decision of the Supreme Court in May,
1891. Up to that time the courts and sew
eral Secretaries of the Treasury had made
n distinction between those coming" and
those returning" to the United States.
This specially affects merchants, some OK
whom came 20 America as labOrerS, but en-
gagged in mercantile pursuits and bought
property.
Mr.. Cutting says: I'VE regard the men
who have just entered upon mercantile pur-
suits as merchants as much so as those who
have been reared to that occupation. To
say that persons of this class shall not re-
turn to this country except upon proof
which it is impossible TO obtain, Is TO exclude
those most entitled to come in or compel
them to resort to the procurement of some
unreliable certificate such as has been
issued at Canton and Shanghai, and which ,
have given the customs officers at San
Francisco so much trouble"
Provision is made for the punishment Of
those guilty of perjury in swearing to the
eligibility Of Chinese to land and defining
what shall be called perJury in such cases.
Section s is copied partly from the commit
tees Exclusion Bill, with additions that
persons found crossing the boundary line
of contiguous territory may be apprehended
without warrant and taken before the
United States Court or a United States
Court Commissioner. This is now prac-
ticed, and if not allowed the object of the
law in preventing the influx of Chinese
across our borders would be entirely de-
feated. The other sections of the bill ars
almost literally copied from the committees

PARIS. Jan. 6.-Tbe action Of the Gov
ernment nov that Bulgaria in effect has re-
fused to grant its demands, is eagerly
awaited. An exchange Of notes between
the powers is actively proceeding. 1t is
stated here that Bulgaria sent copies of her

LONDON, Jan. ct appears the French
Government sent to the different European
ambassadors in Paris a circular asking
them TO point out to their G yernments in

Foreign Minister, and the whole French
Cabinet would appear if Bulgaria should
not give satisfaction to the French Govern
ment In such case, it was pointed out, the
Cabinet would be forced to resign under the
TeprO0f that il had acted rashly. Russia,
it seems, admitted this view Of the affair,
while England and Austria tacitly agreed
that Bulgaria must give some sort Of salts

lated. Germany and Italy maintain a re-
served attitude

Statement Of a Witness Who Followed the
Prisoner to the Jail.
DENVER, Jan. 6. - Doctor Graves has
been sustained in his denial of the confss-
sion that he is alleged to have made. On
the night that Graves was taken to jail
John Adams, President Of the
Dimond q Adams Manufacturing Com
pany, followed the officers, being Gu
rlous to see how Graves would act.
He heard the language used. but the words
were those of the deputies, who, Mr..
Adams said, piled Graves with questions, at
the same time suggesting answers. Graves
seemed to be surprised by the verdict and
he did not know what the men were saying.
Mr.. Adams said Graves merely answered
Yes" or ''NO" 10 the questions in an alb
sent-minded manner. Mr.. Adams waited
until now without saying anything because
he did not wish to get mixed up with the
affair.
Mrs. Graves had a relapse to-day, ravng
wildly at times. Tomorrow Judge Furman
will make a motion ins the State Supreme
Court for a new trial. 1t Is not thought that
it will be granted In case it is not, Graves
will be sentenced Saturday and taken to the
penitentiary to await the results OF his APP
peal to the United States Supreme Court.
