Provisions of the Chinese Exclusion Law De-
fined by Secretary Carlisle.
WASHINGTON. March 22-Secretary Car
Isle has replied to certain inquiries as to
whether he will enforce the provisions of
the Chinese exclusion act as follows:
First-As the act of May 5. 1892. entitled IAN
act 10 prohibit the coming OF Chinese persons
into the United States" has not been repealed Ii
will be enforced SO far as lies within the power
of this department
se~cond-Section ID OF the act approved May 6,
1852. entitled A act 10 execute certain treaty
stipulations relating TO Chinese" provides chat
thereafter no State court or court OF the United
States shall admit Chinese to citizenship, and all
laws In conflict with this act are hereby re-
pealed." This provision OF law is IN full force,
and the naturalization OF Chinese is therefore
Illegal.
Third Chinese merchants established in bust
ness in the United States who may depart there
from with the intention OF returning thereto,
will be permitted to land upon submission To the
collector of customs at the port OF first arrival. of
evidence sufficient TO satisfy him of their identi-
" as such returning merchants. Chinese per-
sons, not of the exempt class, as for instance,
laundrymen, residing in the United states. and
who may depart therefrom, will not be permitted
70 return.

of their gallant fight. The river at once
became a scene of turmoil. and for q long

Some slight collisions occurred. but
no accident of a serious nature
resulted. oxford has now won for four
years in succession. For the four preced-
ing years Cambridge was the victor. The
Oxford boat carried 1.471 pounds and the
Cambridge boat LAT.
The Oxford and Cambridge race was of
added interest TO Americans this year by
reason of the prospective appearance of
those famous crews in America and against
our Detted Harvard OF / ale. the comparison
OF time made at home and abroad being a
matter of Importance. In the four-mile
race Harvard and Yale have never
eqnaled the time made by Oxford last year

many of the members received IL with

resolution declared that the documents

Ballestrom hac finished reading the reso-
lutions, Ahiwardt protested that the ac-
ton of the committee deprived him of the
chance of proving his case. Again the
House laughed at him..
Herr Richter stated that he geatly re-
ioiced that the Parliamentary system en-
abled such short work of Ahlwardt and
his charges. which proved his want of
moral stability. Herr Richter's remarks
were several times interrup pied by applause.
Baron Won Manteufell said that the men,

for the whole affair really rested upon the
electors, who considered Ahlwardt fit to sit
in the Reichstag. His presence in the
House was one of the consequences of the
Infamous secret ballot.
Throughout the whole scene the greatest
excitement prevailed, and the members
showed by their every action. after the re-
port of the committee, that they placed
not the slightest confidence in the grave
charges made by Ahlwardt. The intense
interest OF the people in the proceedings of
the Reicbstag suggested the popular ex-

States Senator from that State. Mr.. Bur-
gard, q member of the lower house of the
Kansas Legislature from Wyandotte coun-

his story as follows:

Purvis. Miss.. on the New Orleans North
western railroad, one hundred miles south
of Meridian. was destroyed by incendi-
aries last night. Shortly after mid
night the torch was applied to five
buildings in different portions of the
town. and within two hours time almost
every store and residence In the place was
wiped out. The people ran panic stricken
into the streets and the greatest excite
meDt prevailed. The Western Union tele-
graph Office was burned and p~articu-
lars are meager. but from the pas
sengers who passed Purvis on q
north-bound train this afternoon it was
learned that the confagration is the result
of q bitter feeling between the white peo-
pis and the negroes, out of the ar.
rest of q negro preacher. The negroes fired
the town IN revenge. A posse of citizens
left Meridian for Purvis late this after.

AS TO MISUNDERSTANDING.

Mr.. B,ssell Ssys accommodation of Con-
gressmen VIII Not BE Ignored
WASHINGTON. March 22.-Five members
of the Missouri delegation In Congress-,
headed by Representative Bland, called at
the Postoffice Department. to-day and had
a conference with Postmaster general Bis
sci. The delegation desired some express
sion from Mr.. Bissell as to what weight
would be given to the recommendations of
members of Congress in the appointment of
~postmasters. 1t had been repeatedly
stated In the newspapers. 1t was said, thai
congressional influence. was to 90 for moth
ing, and this statement had been so often
epeated that it had become the general
belief throughout the country that the
recommendation and influence of q member
of Congress was o: no particular value to
an applicant. Ii was an elm EMBARRASSING sit
uation for u mem Der TO be placed IN. and il
was hoped that the Postmast ter. general
would give them q definite answer on these
points.
Mr.. Bland stated q hypothetical case.
There were in q certain town half a dozen
applicants for the postmastership. They
were all good men-equaliy good-and each
had filed in the department q petition
signed by a respectable number of reputa-
Bile citizens. The question which Mr.
Bland desired answered was. whether the
recommendation of the member of Con-
Rress for that district would decide the
contest in this candIdate's favor.
Mr.. Bissell listened attentively to all that
was said. but declined to decide questions
of this character until an actual case in
volyinQ the points under discussion was
prosented. He did not think he could
Justly be held responsible for what b ad
been published In the newspapers, and he
called attention to the fact that thus far
not a single postmaster had been
appointed who had not the indorse-
ment of the member of Congress.
That ought TO be taken as cot elusive
evidence that newspapers sometimes made
mistakes. and that 1t was by no means his
intention TO ignore members of Congress-.
He thought. however. that the question of
candidates should. In q measure at least,
be decided by the people of the locality.
They were more interested than anyone
else, and undoubted their wishes should he
consulted and gwen very great weight.
What be most desired was that he should
have the benefit of the advice of the peo-
pie as we'll as that of their Representatives
in Congress. No one would in any sense be
ignored. and 1t was folly to suppose that
the assistance. advice n recommends
tions of men of suoh high character as
were the Representatives of the people in
Congress were not earnestly desired. HIS
great aim was to give the people of this
country the best possible postal service In
every branch.
Nh. Bisseil said he had understood that
the statement bad been published that no
women were to be appointed to post
masterships. and that newspaper men
were also to be Disseminated against.
Neither of these stories was true. and he
regretted their publication. He bade tho
delegation good day. and hoped they would
come and $50 him whenever they had my.
