The President sent to the Senate while
in executive session a message trans
hitting the report Of the Secretary Of
State in reply to the Dolph resolution
OF inquiry concerning the attitude Of
China with regard to the extension OF
time for the registration Of Chinese
laborers. The report says:
"Whle the government OF China has
not formally requested that the time
Or registration provided for in the
Geary law be extended, and no formal
assurance has been given that II ex-
tended Chinese laborers in the United
States will take out certificates as pro-
vlded by the act, the Chinese Minister
has repeatedly asserted In conference
with the undersigned that his country
men residing in the United States at
the time of the passage OF the act, on
the advice OF eminent counsel and In
good faith, refrained from registering

would be unjust to deny them another

PARoLING A CRIMINAL.
An Experiment That Is to DO Tried BY
Massachusetts Author ties.

Massachusetts Author ties.
The experiment OF parolIng prisoners
confined in the State prison under the
habitual criminal act, is TO be tried in
the case OF a man who has served five
years of his twenty-five years sentence.
Warden Bridges recommended that he
should be paroled, on account OF his
good conduct, and the Governor and
Council, In whom the power is vested,
decided unanimously in favor OF
granting the parole. The condi-
lions are, first that he shall not here
after lead an idle and dlssolute life;
second. that he shall not visit any bar
room or gambling house or associate
with persons of bad character; third,
that he shall not violate any laws Of
the commonwealth, but shall here
after lead an upright, industrious and
laW-abiding life. Should he violate
any OF these conditions he will be i'm
mediately taken back to Charlestown
and there confined until the last day
Of the twenty-five years sentence has
expired. So long as he obeys his con-
dltions he will be allowed so roam
about the country at his will without
interference by the State officials.
He wac sentenced in Worcester, Au-
gpst IS, 1883, for breaking and entering
and for the larceny Of an old overcoat,
the property of his brother-in-law Hav-
ing done a sentence in the New Hamp-
shire State prison and q three years
sentence in the Massachusetts, Reforma-
tory. he came in under the habitual
criminal act, and received a sentence Of
twenty-five years.
He figured prominently In the move
ment In Septem Der, 1891, to prove the
habitual criminal act unconstitutional.
Through his counsel he maintained
that it was not according to the Con-
stltution that he should be punished for
an offense for which he had served a
sentence, or for something done before
the passage OF the law itself. Neither
could it be right, his counsel contended,
to punish man the second time for the
same offense. The court decided the
act to be constitutional boston Tran
