CHINESE EXCLUSION.
The Vice Counsel of the Chinese States
Their Position.

SAN FRANCISCO. March 27.-The Chi
nese vice counsel states that the position
of the Chinese on the Geary exclusion
laws is as follows: sit is expected that
when the law goes into effect arrests will
be made. Then the matter win be taken
to The United States Supreme court,
which will enjoin the enforcement of the
law till its constitutionality is determined.
The men who framed the laws are becom-
ing daily more fearful that it Will not
stand the test OF the courts and if attempts
should be made to enforce it before its
constitutionality is determined the
United States will be asked some ques-
lions by the nations of the earth that it
will be hard to answer. With affairs in
Hawaii in the present condition, an i'm
broglio with China is not desired by
Cleveland and his cabinet.''
Manager Tine of the six companies says
advices received from Washington are
that Cleveland has assured the Chinese

WASHINGTON. March 27.-Mr. Cleve-
lands right to the presidency was dis
puted today by Mrs. Thurston, an old
lady who not only considers herself owner
of the United States, but OF the kingdom
of Great Britain and Ireland as well. Mrs.
Thurston was among those who shook
hands with the president at the pub
lie reception in the east room
this afternoon. She grasped Cleve-
lands hand in firm grip,
and poured forth her story, much to his
embarrassment. Mrs. Thurston said she
wanted Cleveland to take charge OF her
possessions under a deed of trust to be
handed over when she received her an
nuity of several hundred thousand dol
lars which will enable her to live in the
style befitting her rank and possessions.
Her opportunities for a private audience
to arrange details were politely parted,
and after keeping the line waiting for five
minutes Mrs. Thurston moved on with
the parting remark that she would re-
turn.

official papers on the score that they
were personal letters, and for this offense
his resignation was requested. Theee

STARTLING DISCOVERY.

to Have Never Been Coded.
DETROIT, March 27.-something in the
nature of a startling discovery has been
made by II. F. Chapman, son of Congress-
man Chapman. in regard to title of the
lands OF a large part, if not the whole of
the upper peninsula of this state, and if
the conclusions are borne out by more
minute investigation and sustained by the
courts, every acre of land in the peninsula
west of the Sault and Mackinac to Mon
treal and Menominee rivers, and from
Lake Superior to Lake Michigan and straits,
inclusive of city and village lots, will be
handed over to the rightful owners, the
descendants of the Chippewa Indian ma
ton of the Lake Superior region. Chip
man asserts that his Investigations have
convinced him that no cession of the
upper peninsula lands was ever made to
the United States government, and there
fore title deeds in every registry of deeds
in the region indicated are worthless as so
much blank paper.

stated in Certain Cases.

WASHINGTON, March 27.-Fourth As
sistant Postmaster General Maxwell to-
day indicated a.line OF policy which will
govern him in the selection of about
SO, 900 fourth class postmasters this year.
s'In the first place. said he, 81 don't
propose to permit unsuccessful politicians
to dictate appointments. Ex-congress-
men and men who ran for Congress and
were defeated will not control appoint
ments under me. In state swhere there
is not Democratic senator aud the dis
tricts are represented by Republicans in
Congress, state, district or county, Dem
ocratic committees will be asked to make
a recommendation for postmasters. We
want to deal with live Democrats, men of
influence, not worn out politicians.
Men and women who held postofices
four years ago, will not be appointed if
new blood can be found. The mo ex'
rule will apply in the selection of fourth
class postmasters. Of course if we can
not get Democrats who have not held
offices to accept them, we will reinstate
old postmasters and permit Republicans
to hold offices. We are now ready for
business and changes will be made as
rapidly as possible. "

WASHINGTON, March 27.-The United
States was defeated in the Supreme
Court today, in an effort to secure
the removal of the barbed wire
fence case originally installed in the First
judicial district of Arizona, the United
States alleging that Colin Campbell en-
closed 800 acres of public land without
color OF title thereto and asking an order
for removal. The plaintiff was successful
and Campbell came to the Supreme Court
for relief. Justice Brown delivered an
opinion of the court, reversing the
Judgment of the supreme court
of the territory. This upon the
ground that Campoell's claim
was under the Mexican grant of four
square leagues of land which by some I'M
known means was changed into four
leagues square in survey. constituted q
color of title which removed the land in
question from the public domain of the
United States and therefore exempted it
from the law governing the removal OF
the offenses.
