Objections Against the Restriction Act
Presented by the Ministea.
WASHINGTON, May 7-On inquiry at the
Chinese legation to-day it was ascertained
that the published statement is incorrect
that no protest has been made to the State
Department by ths Chinese Minister against
the exclusion bill passed by Congress on the
sth inst. The Minister says he called In
person at the department on the morning of
the 9th, and in the absence Of Secretary
Blaine saw Assistant Secretary Wharton,
and notified him he would send to the de-
partment at once written protest against
the bill, which he asked might be laid before
the President Immediately. The writteI
protest reached the department at o'clock
today
The Minister states that he objects to the
bill mainly for the reason that it Tenews the
Scott law; that it deDTiYes Chinese of the
Tieht Of bail in habeas corpus cases; that it
requires the registration Of Chinese labor
eTs, which il is practically impossible for
them to comply with. They must all prove
by white witnesses that they were lawfully
entitled to De in The United States when the
hfst exclusion law was passed in 1882
Every Chinanan must produce before the
Collector Of Customs white witness who

registration entirely to the discretion Of the
Collector and provides no way of compelling

Blust register and produce his evidence In
the district where he resides. His white
witness may be 5000 miles away.
Senators who carefully examined the bill
announced in the Senate that It's practical
effect would be 20 compel all Chinese la
boTeTs 70 leave the United States within the
year fixed for registration. Sherman, chair
man OF the Foreign Affairs Committee, said
that this registration is similar to the slave
regulations in force before the Civil War
and to the tickei-of-lesVe Of the Australian
convict system. The Minister said G. csc
features Of the blll are in direct violation
0i the treaty Of 1850, which guarantees
Chinese laboreTs In the United States the
treatment OF subjects. He further says that

THE WORK OF CONGRESS.
An Intern ationaI Question to Come u
in the Senate.

An Intern ationRI Question to Come Up
in the Senate.
WAS HINGToN, May S.-The House will
be engaged in the consideration of the ap-
preparation bills most Of the week, in all
probability.
In the Senate certain matters Of national
interest are to figure. among others being
the Choctaw and Chickasaw claims bill.
The vote upon an amendment authorizing
the payment TO the Indians Of about S.
O00,O will be taken tomorrow.
The naval appropriation bill will be called
up for consideration on Tuesday.
At the earliest opportunity Senator Frye,
by instruction of the Commerce Commit
tee. will report the House bill to encourage
American p-buiiding, which provides for
the admission TO American registry OF the
Inman line steamers. An effort will doubt
less be made TO secure immediate action
upon the bill, which will give rise to a prob
able long and heated discussion, as it is eX-
pected the question Of free ships" and the
protection Of American shipbuilders will be
eUme up.
The bill providing for the punishment for
violation of the treaty rights OF aliens viii
be brought up by the Committee on Foreign
Relations at the first opportunity and VIII
likely give rise 20 mucn ueDaIes InFOlF-
ing, as it does, questions Of national and
State sovereignty.
II the Senate takes ND the calendar dur
ing the week the first bill is that providing
for Notifications and other seacOast de-
fenses, and with 1t may be considered the
bill making an appropriation for the pur-
chase Of siles for Notifications.
Senator Morgan has given notice OF his
intention to speak on the Presidents COM
munication relative 10 the bi-m0netaTy con-
ference, which is on the presiding officer 5
desk, and probably the opportunity viii be
utilized by several Senators interested in
the silver question to set forth their views
upon this phase Of it.
The sundry civil bill will probably
be taken up in the House tomorrow and its
consideration will require several days.
An effort will be made 70 secure e0nsidera-
tOn for the anti-OptiOns bill as soon as
the suudry civil bill is disposed Of. but
the anti-options bill is vigorously opposed
by many members, who will use every en-
deRvOr TO keep it in the background.
The Notifications and DOstofiee appr0pTi-
ations bills are also on the calendar. Only
three regular annual appropriation bills
remain TO be reported to the House
the legislative, executive and judicial, the
agricultural, and the deficiency bills.

bered that on the previous evening he had
placed his wallet beneath the mattress Of
his bed aud had forgotten to remove it in
the morning. Rather than telegraph his
plight he took the first train back and
casually remarking that he had concluded
not to go East, asked for the room he had
vacated the previous day.
''The man who had it last night has just
g0ne." said the clerk, handing Lawson the
key.
Sauntering carelessly to his room, the
cattleman locked the door and neryously
tore open the bed-clothes. His pocket
book was where he had left it, and it still
contained something like $4,000. The
mattresses had not been turned.
When Lawson was at the Palace last
week he asked for his key at the desk one
night. The clerk could not find it,, although
the ranchman was confident 1t had been
handed in. The room was searched without
