WASHINGTON, Jan. 20.-The decision in
the case at Duluth does not cause any
alarm among supporters of exclusion.
Commodore Power. of Helena, Mont. said
if there is anything wrong with the law the
people of the Pacific slope and their repre-
sentatives in congress would see the defect
remedied. Representative Geary thought
the decision would not stand. Representa-
tive Oatef, of Alabama, member Of tho
judiciary committee. said if tho report is
correct, Judge Nelson was treating the
Chinaman as citizen. Senator FELTON,
was of the same opinion. but added unless
the Chinese were excluded from western
states condition would arise that would
cast the labor troubles of the east into the
shade. The Chinaman was against every
man. He never became a citizen and was
utterly unamerican and an altogether un-
desirable accession to the population of
any part of the country. II was serious
matter with the people of the far west, and
if this law Is insufficient to eradicate the
evil something stronger would have to be
forthcoming.

LONDON, Jan. 20.-Dr. Cornelius Herr was

detectives assigned to make the arrest went
about their work very cautiously, as sl-
though 1t was reported that Herr was sick.
IL was thought from his previous record,
both In America and France. that he might
be shamming illness and would take the
opportunity to escape. 1t was known that

tectivss were informed that he was too i'll
to be seen, but they insisted and followed
the porter to the door. Mrs. Herr re-
sponded TO the knock. ard after some par
Icy the detectives announced their official
character and insisted on being admitted to
the outer room. Mrs. Herr retired to her hus-
bands sleeping apartment. She came out
in few minutes, her face showing signs Of
grief and agitation, and she could hardly
restrain her tears % she said: "Gsntlemen,
DR.. Herr is too Ill to get up. You are well
como to 60 in and see for yourselves" The
detectives entered the sleeping room. Herr
was in bed. He had Just been propped up
with pillows by his wife. His face looked
pale and wasted, his eyes were sunken and
he bore every sign Of being very sick

he said In weak tones. as II it was difficult
for him to talk. "You 500 my condition.
I am willing to 60 with you If 1t is possible
for me to be movsd.' Tho detectives
looked at the man and concluded that it
would not be proper to take further action
without medical advice. The doctor who
had been attending Herr was called in. He
declared that Herx was In such serious
condition he could only be removed at the
imminent peril of his life, and from pres
ent appearances ID would be impossible to
remove him for some time.
The detectives telegraphed this sta te-
ment to London, and were told TO rem ain
with the prisoner. but to take no act ion
relative TO his removal without further in
structions. The detectives then took
turns In watching, one remaining near the
sick man, while the other found what rest
he oould within easy call. Herr, notwith-
standing his illness. has made energetic
preparations to contest the effort to extra
dits him TO France. He retained Lewis, a
we'll known solicitor, and Sir Edward
Clarke and Gill as counsel In the case.
Some surprise is expressed that Herr
should now prepare to contest the extradi-
tion to the last point, when before his ar
rest he protested his readiness to surren-

AKIN TO PANIC.
Tecling Produced in Paris bv the Arrest
of Herr,

Fecling Produced in Paris by tho Arrest
of Herr.
PARIS. Jan. 20.-The sole topic Of CONVEX
Cornelius Herr, the prospect Of his return
to France. and the possibility that he will
reveal the evidence which he holds excites
general apprehension. Outside royalist
and sooialistio circles tho arrest is regarded
with feeling closely akin to panic. The
gravest fears exist on account of the senate,
whose members are believed to be threat
ened nc ore seriously than all others through
Herz's return. Everybody feels that the
worst will come out as soon az Herr shall
come before the examining magistrate.
An interview with Herr was published
here. He protested earnestly against the
suspicion that he had been the agent in
France of the triple alliance. The only
foundation for such report is the statement
made by Bohutel, brother of his first wife.
who long ago attempted TO extort money
from him on the threat to denounce him as
Prussian spy. and who had even sent doc
uments to Gen. Roulanger, then secretary
of war, endeavoring to establish the accusa-
tion. Boulanger felt so little confidence in
Bohutel's statements that he declined to
inquire into the charges and handed the
documents to Herr. Herr said he was will
ing to submit these documents to n com
mittee of investigation of the chamber of
deputies. and if the committee refused to
examine them, he would lay them before a
jury of honor. So far from being
traitor to France he is passionstely devoted
to France and had gone to much personal
trouble to serve French interests. In seek
ing to detach Italy from the triple alliance
he went to Rome, cultivated the friendship
of Crispi. He exchanged letters with
Crispi, which he is ready to produce before
Il jury of honor.
Herr showed the interviewer letter
from Gen. Menabrea, formerly Italian
minister ut Paris, written in flattering
terms, introducing him to Crispi. Herr
also showed other letters. written by Gen.
Mennbrea. while ambassador, expressing
high esteem TOR Herr. Herr added that he
took Menubrea's own son into his employ
ment at q salary Of 1000 francs q month.
and spared neither pains nor money to
gain Menabrea over to the side of France.
In conclusion, Herr stated that no act OF
corruption could be traced to him. During
the whole Of the alleged campaign of COR
ruption. no was never in France. having
been travelling abroad at the time. As to
tho future. he preferred suicide to prison.
