department against the Chinese exciu-
sion act. which has lust become law.
The protest indeed WAS tled at
o'clock yesterday with President
Harrison before ne had attached his
Signature TO the Dill in the hope that
he M ghs veto il IL 10 probable, how
ever, that the Chinese minister has
little expectation that any protest
would override the exlgencies which
compelled the President 70 sign the bill.
The protest declares this particular
bill 10 the most fragrant and direct
violation of treaty stlpulahons which
has ever passed congress. The
scathlng denunciations OF the
measure which were uttered on the
floor OF the two houses by the op-
ponents of the bill are turned TO good
account IN the protest as descriptions
of the real character OF the measure BY
American statesmen.

has grown, and from one clerk, with
which they began, the growth of the
business mas neces.itatcd the increase
of the number from time to time, until

the corps OF employees who have la
bored cheerfully throughout the heavy
season now about closed. the menu
served consisted OF soup, fish. frogs
legs, quail on toast, Strawberries and
cream, claret, coffee and cigars. At

twenty present was called upon for a
short speech by the senior member of
the firm. All enjoyed the dainty
viands and applauded 10 the echo the
responses made by the employees as
their names were called.
