RESPITE To Chinese.

WASHINGTON CRY, Sept. 1l,-Attor-
ney- General Olney has instructed
United States marshals to take no fur
Their steps for enforcement Of the Geary
law pending specific instructions to the
contrary from Washington City. These
instructions do not apply, however, to
Chinese already in progress of deport-
alton by due process of law. j, Hubley
| Ashton, of counsel for the Chinese, APP
piled to the treasury department today
for a stay of proceedings in the case Of
the Chinese recently ordered back to
China by the district court at Los An
gees He was referred back to the de-
partment of justice and there informed
| that the department would not interfere
in cases already passed upon by the
United States courts. The new Chinese
minister to this country, Yang Yu, was
at the state department today, and it is
understood WAS informed by Secretary
| Gresham of the intention Of the admin
istration to suspend further action un-
der the exclusion act pending action of
congress on the bill introduced by Rep
resentative Everett, extending to Sep
TENDER /, 1894, the time in which Chin
ese may register. The change in the
attitude of the treasury department,
which last week was contemplating IN
structions for endorsements of the Geary
law, il, it is bolieved due to the strong
protests of the Chinese government,
coupled with the intimatlon thai in the
event of such action that govelnme ut
would no longer assume responsibility
for the future safety of Americans IN
Chinese territory,
Hoar introduced a bill in the senate
today amending the Geary Chinese ex-
cluson act, extending the time for reg
istration three mo tbs after it's passage
and repeating that portion requiring
that witnesses identifying Chinese shall
be white. The bill continues in force
the first six sections of the Geary act
until treaty can be made with China
for the regulation of Chinese emigration,

work. Four more clerks we're added 10
the working force and many more certi-
feates we're issued than yesterday
The total today reached $500. Many
bomeseekers, despairing Of obtaining
certificates here, have departed for Or
lando, Just over the south boundary OF
the strip. Yesterday 2,725 certificates
we're issued there.
The line in front of the booths held
its place all last night. Men, women
and children, negros and Indians, we're
hacked in a common mass. Today a
system of numbering the persons IN line
was adopted and those having numbers
were allowed to go and come at Will.
This proved a great convenience.
At Saltwater, 20 miles east of Or
lando, 1000 certificates were issued
Yesterday and about the same number
today Many more people are waiting
at both places. The scarcity of water
and intense heat have caused the death
of several children. Trains of wagons a
mile in length and in squads of 40 and
so passed through Guthrie to day
bound for the strip and hundreds ar
rived on the trains. The South Chero-
kee Indians have chosen a most desira-
BILE site for their allotment, and several
of them have combined to establish a
string Of towns along the Santa Fe.

'ecial Correspondence.

SPVSlai correspondence
WAsHINaToN, September, 1898.
The majority in the senate has not
yet been entirely subdued by Mr.. Cleve-
land, but that in the house is so
thoroughly under his control that it
accepts as final and unquestionable his
slightest intimation. Ever since
Springer, OF Illinois, WAS made chair
man of the house cmmlttee on banking
and currency that committee has been
considering several financial bills, and
the announcement was made on the
authority of Springer that it would at
once report one or more bills to the
house. Well, it will do no such thing.
Mr.. Cleveland has ordered that no bill
dealing with financial matters shall be
reported to the house until further
notice from him, and the members of
Springer's Committee and those of
BANDS Coinage committee are, like the
rest OF the house, idling their time away.
There are several reasons for Mr.. Cleve-
lapd's muzzllng these house committees.
1t had been reported to him that
majority of Springer's committee had
informally expressed themselves against
the repeal OF the tax on state bank cur
reney, measure which he may yet
have to recommend in order to get the
votes on certain southern senators for
the Voorhees, repeal bill; and he also has
the idea that the vote on repeal can
soon be forced in the senate and that
congress can then be made to adjourn
as 1t is not probable that the ways and
means committee will be ready to report
the tariff bill much, if any, earlier than
the regular session. But the chief rea.
son is that he has not vet decided what

Only the smoIdoring embers of the

fire which broke out in the building
shortly after 10 o'clock last night com
pletely destroyed the structure in less

has such a conhagration been witnessed
in this city. In ten minutes after it
was discovered the flames broke through
the immense dome surrounding the
structure and the flames leaped higher

yeloped, Lighting mp the entire city and

HER NAME is ESTHER


Mrs. cleveland Decides Upon the Name
OF Der New Baby-Win Be Christened
Early.
WASHINGTON, September 14.-Esther
is the name chosen for baby Ruth's sis
ter. 1t was so announced by President
Cleveland this noon, and the bright 1T
tie newcomer, about which so mucn has
been said, will, it is understood, be
christened as soon as Mrs. Cleveland Is
able to take her to the church. DR..
Sunderland, of the First Presbyterian
church, where the Cleveland family
worship, will, in all probability, per-
form the ceremony christening
the little one Esther. This name Is
known to be favorite OF Mrs. CleVe-
land. After baby Ruth was christened,
she remarked in the presence Of num-
Der of friends that il she ever had an
other daughter, she intended to name
her Esther. Mrs. Perrine, Mrs. Cieve-
lands mother, wanted TO name the new
conner, but Mrs. Cleveland insisted and
after family conference the President
decided that Mrs. Cleveland should have
her say, and so it will be Esther. As
soon as this decision was reached the
President came into his Office and In
formed Secretary Thurber, and he at
once informed the press.

MURDER As AN OCCUPATION.


Undesirable Babies Disposed OF For q
Reasonable sum-The Butchers Cap
tured
VIENNA, September IA sensation
has been caused in this city by the ar
rest OF two women living in separate
villages, in the district Of Kuttenberg,
Bohemia. which recalls the terrible
tragedies enacted last year and SINH
larly horrible style. The two women,
it seems, were engaged Systematically
in the business Of numbering children
whose parents desreded TO have
them got out of the way, either
because Of deformities or be-
cause the parents were too
poor or too heartless 10 take care Of
their children, or because the children
were illegitimate and source of re-
preach to their friends. The heartless
women, il Is added, not only did thrlv-
ing trade In numbering helpless babes,
but also contracted to dispose OF their
bodies most effectually and guaranteed
secrecy and an effectual disappearance
for stated sums OF money. The price
usually charged for the murder of a
child was five forms. The two women
seemed TO have done a large trade and
are reported to have saved consider
able sums OF money as the fruit Of their
inhuman work. The discovery OF this
wholesale system of baby numbering
was brought about by an accident, or
the women might have continued their
prosperous business for years. So safe
did they feel themselves from detection
that one OF them kept regular ledgers
I'm which was inscribed the sum re-
celved, the person the money was re-
ceived from, the age and description OF
the child, aud the date ii was disposed
Of. By the help OF this horrible record
of crime, the authorities anticipate not
only convjcting and effectually dispos-
ing Of these two female fends, but they
also anticipate being able to make
large number OF arrests and bring num-
bers of others TO the bar OF justice.

The nsrslonment of Pants.

While there have been many changes
in the styles Of coats and Waistcoats,
trousers have down to the present not
greatly changed. Diodorous Siculus
saws of the Belize Gauls that "they
wore close trousers, which they called
braccae." The Roman invasion brought
bare legs to Britain, and the braccae Of
the Gauls were discarded for the new
order of things. When the Romans took
leave and were succeeded by the Saxon,
the braccae was compromised by style
Of short drawers reaching half way
down the thigh and stockings coming
nm 10 meet them. The drawers were
called breech or hose.
The time of Elizabeth saw the cover
ing of a mans leg develop into con-
spicuous part of the attire Of a gentle
man. The cavaliers wore what were
termed the petticoat breeches, and knee
breaches followed the absurd petticoat
uattern. Trousers for intHntry were
introduced into the Britis5 army Sep

The Wording of an Advertisement AL
lowed a LandIady to Crawl Out of a
Perplexity.
A London gentleman advertised for
apartments at fashionable watering
place and received many replies. He
pitched upon one, chiefly because it
mentioned splendid "Sea view" and
as it was not convenient for him to
leave his business to see the apartments
he closed with the offer by post, sending
a substantial deposit, says TIT Bits.
When the time came for him to take
his holiday he duly arrived at his desti-
nation and was surprised to find that
not glimpse Of the sea was obtainable
from any window OF his apartments.
81 thought you said there was a
SPLENDID sea view?" he said, angrily, to
the landlady.
$50 there is, sir, replied the landla-
dy, drawing his attention to a picture
on the wall-a really excellent painting
Of the sea.
"Why, you-er-er-What do you
mean by such a swindle?" gasped the
gentleman. 1 meant view OF the
real sea-"
ooh, did you, sir?" coolly said the
landlady. "If you refer to my letter
you will see that l distinctly stated
there was splendid sea view in the
drawing room. Had / meant view OF
the real sea l should have said there
was a splendid sea view from the draw
ing room. Icannot think how an edu-
Gated gentleman, as you evidently are,
could have made such an egregious err
ror"
The gentleman was so taken back
that he was not equal to arguing the
point and rushed out OF the house mi
nus his substantial deposit.

Catherine de medIois Doctor.

Pharnelius, like many other physi-
clans, was much addicted to philosophy
and mathematics, but having taken to
medicine he speedily attained a great
practice. Henry II as dsuphin and al
terward as king was his constant friend.
Among the most grateful Of his patients
was Catherine de Medici, who believed
that his skill had saved her from state
OF childlessness, ana who gave him on
the birth Of her first born $1,000 order
ed that a like sum should be paid to him
at the birth Of each succeeding son or
daughter. I think that Cardano liked
Pharnelius better than he liked Syl-
vius. He says he was pale, lean man
of about so, who loved his study and
was full Of domestic affection. He was
the professor medicine in the university
and the first court physician, but ne
must have puzzled Cassanate greatly,
for he had an undisguiSed contempt for
court society.

why Flowers sleep at Night.

Why should flowers sleep? asked Sir
John Lubbock In 1.-THE Beauties OF Ma
ture and the Wonders Of the World We
Live In" Why should some flowers do
so and not others? Moreover, different
flowers keep different hours. The daisy
opens at sunrise and closes at sunset,
whence its name days eye.
The dandelion Ceontodon) is
said to open about Z and close
about 5; Arenaria rubra TO be open
from to 3; the white wster lily (nym-
phRa) from about Z to 4; the common
mouse ear hawkweed (hieracium) from
S to 3: the scarlet pimperne (anagaIlis)
TO wakeu at 7 and close soon alter 3;
Tragopogon pratensis to open at in
the morning and close just before -,
whence its English name, "John go to
bed at noon" Farmers boys In some
parts are said to regulate their dinner
by It. Other flower, on the contrary,
open in the evening.
Now. it is obvious that flowers which
are fortified by night flying insects
would derive no advantage from being
omen by day, and, on the other hand,
that those which are fortified by bees
would gain nothing by being open at
night Nay, it would be distinct dis
advantage, because it would render
them liable to be robbed OF their
honey and pollen by insects which are
not capable of fertilizing them.
| have ventured to suggest then
that the closing of the flowers may have
reference to the habits of the insects,
and it may be observed also 10 support
of this that wind fortified flowers do
not sleep, and that many OF those flow
ers which attract insects by smell open
and emit their scent at particular hours.
Thus Pesperus NATIONALS and Lychnis
vespertina smell in the evening, and
Orchis pifolia is particularly sweet at
night.
