questioned on the subject, said: 'As

anything in my official capacity, bux
personally l think it is an outrage and
an insult to Chinese residents in this

1t was bad enough to stop further i'm

movement has not even the shadow of a

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


the Presidential Race.
WASHINGTON, May 9.-Judge Chip
man, representative from Michigan and
a staunch Cleveland man, said yester-
day that he was told by man who was
a close friend of Cleveland and who had
an interview with the eX-president n
few days ago that there was reason to
believe that Cleveland might soon with
draw his name from the presidential
canvass.
1.-The man with whom / talked" said
Representative Chapman, lis perfectly
reliable and the sum and substance of
it is this: Cleveland is not in selfish
attitude. l 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. l
have had no recent talks with him my
self, and what l say of Mr.. Cleveland's
doubtful attitude, learned last night
from a mutual friend who went person
ally to see Cleveland. No, do not care
to give that gentlemans name either.

office during Cleveland's administra-

Hudson. the editor of the Topeka Capt.

the train went down there was no such
babel of cries and horrible confusion of
groans that one usually expects. The
storm was raging at its height and the
night was very dark. Work was COM
menced at once on the wreck. but the
