Nothing New.

WASHINGTON, Oct. st is said at
the treasury department that the case
of the Chinese, Gee Hop, who claims
admission into this country on the
ground that he is a. naturalized citizen
of the United States, presents no novel
features. The law is very plain on that
point. The act approved May 6, 1882,
provides, That hereafter no state
court, or court of the United States,
shall admit Chinese to citizenship, and
all laws in conflict with this act are
hereby repealed"
AS to Gee Hop having a passport
signed by the secretary of state, the
department knows nothing about it,
nor is it Of any advantage to him. The
act prohibiting courts from admitting
Chinese to citizenship was passed in
1882, eight years before Hops pass
port was issued, hence they are null
and void, and were so at the time they
were issued, as was also the passport.
If Hop belongs to the prohibited class
he will not be permitted to land.

Gay refused to confirm the appoint
ment of the new receivers for the
Northern Plastic Railway company or
accept the designations of the old re-
ceivers, Cakes. Payne and Rouse.
The application for the removal of

erals Burnett and Bristow, and
Henry Stanton. counsel for the North

The confirmation of the appointment

the ground that he was an intimate

NELSON HELD.
The PiIfering Attorney Will Go Be-
fore the Grand Jury.

The swindler and law advocate, Mar
cellus Nelson, is now resting where
the glitter of jewels on sunlight do
not penetrate. His form is going to
anguish there, too, until the grand
Jury takes him in hand for the steal
ing of Mrs. Ella Ongman's watch.
chain and gilt attachments.
Mrs. Ongman told the court yester-
day when the case came up that the
defendant pilfered the articles on Sept.
% while on visit at her house. On
that date she needed a lawyers ad-
vice and, having heard of Nelson's le-
gal acumen, called on him for assist
ance. He accompanied her back to
her residence, where he remained for
about two hours. During this stay
the expounder of the law took strong
fancy to the gold watch, and on TAX
ing his leave took the jewelry with
him. The next morning Mrs. Ongman
went to Nelson and threatened to bring
in an officer if he did not return the
articles at once. Thereupon the astute
attorney, after denying any knowledge
of the theft, offered to go with her to
the police station and report the loss.
Mrs. Ongman Indignantly refused to
listen TO this proposition and told him
she would have him arrested imme-
diately.
What did he say to that?" asked
Attorney Harrington

ATLANTA, Ca, Oct. S.-When Cham
pion James J. Corbett was shown the
dispatch announcing that both houses
of the Texas legislature had passed
the ant-prize fight bill he said: "In
the absence of definite information as
to the exact text Of the bill which the
Texas legislature passed cannot very

CHICAGO, Oct S.-When the news
OF the action the legislature had taken
on the prize fighting question at
Austin, Texas, yesterday, reached the
sports round town they were knocked
silly. Governor Culberson and every
BODY that had any connection with the
massage of the bill were denounced in
strong language. Those that had been
In communication with President Dan
Stuart Of the Florida, Athletic club for
the last month doubted the press dis
patches and still retained faith in his
ability to pull the fight off as adVer-
tised. J. NJ. McLain, one of Stuart's
business partners, said that with the
exception Of a, brief telegram which be
received early in the day and which
had 10 bearing on the doings of the
legislature, he had not heard from
Stuart.
Regarding the prospects Of the
Florida Athletic club holding the fight
elsewhere he said that everything
looked so rosy to have it take place as
advertised he was not prepared TO
make any statement as to the future
rloings of the club. He was thunder
struck when informed OF the action the
legislature had taken and could not
understand how the passage Of the bill
was accomplished. When asked II the
fights would be declared off for good,
he said he thought that Stuart was a
determined man, and having gone thus
far, would see the thing through. Ar
engagements, he said, have in a minor
way been perfected to transfer the
fights TO the Indian Territory or to
Mexico. He thought Stuart would
much prefer the former place, but if
the Indian Territory should be barred
against them he would undoubtedly
bring the men together on the other
side of the Rio Grande.
About a, month ago Mc1ain, at
stuart's suggestion. looked over the
ground in Mexico Tor a, place to pull
off the contests should circumstances
prevent their taking place in Dallas
or any other part of Texas. What sue
cess McLain met with on that trip
could not Ne ascertained as he would
not discuss ghe question.
McLain, upon his return to the state,
reported to Stuart and as Mexico has
time and again been spoken of as a
likely place for the fighters to settle
their differences, the probabilities are
that the fighting scene Will be shifted
from Texas to Mexican soil.
All the parties that had made ar
Dallas while surprised, did not appear

said they had received no word from
President Stuart notifying them to
stop selling fight or train tickets for
the special. and therefore would con-
rinue booking passengers as heretofore.

SENSATION OF THE DAY.
London Thoroughly Excited Over
the Condition of Affairs,

London Thoroughly Excited Over
the Condition of Affairs.
LONDON, Oct. 3.-The critical con-
dition of affairs at Constantinople is
the sensation of the day here, and all
the dispatches from that city are read
with the greatest eagerness: Many
important messages are known to have
been received at the British foreign
Office from Sir Phillip CUrrie, the Brit
ish ambassador at Constantinople, and
the feeling here is not entirely favor
able to the Armenians. The appoint
ment of Kiamie Pasha as grand vizier
recently announced, is regarded at the
foreign office as a happy circumstance,
at the present juncture of affairs. He
has the reputation of being one of the
most broad-minded and enlightened
statesmen of the Ottoman empire. .
In spite of the assurances TO the con-
trary of the Armenian committee Of
this city, the belief prevails in official
circles here that the rioting at Con-
stantinople was really a deliberately
planned uprising brought Sbout by the
Armenian agitators in order to bring
e.bout direct interference upon the part
of Great Britain, France and Russia, in
| the administration of Armenia
The st. James Gazette points out this
afternoon how the events which have
occurred at Constantinople were cor
| rectIy foretold by the Associated Press
which, in a, dispatch published here on
April 10, told how the patriotic party
of Armenia had been fomenting a gen
! eral revolt, and that the leaders pro-
missed that THE chief attack would be
made in the city of Constantinople it.
| self, and that the bulk of the fighting
would be borne by the Armenian resi-
dents therein. The Associated Press
added at that time that the leaders had
even gone so far as to declare that the
first attack would be on the palace of
the sultan, and that the reign of
Hamid would come to a sudden end.
| Finally it was stated that there were
men who believed that in the over
throw of the sultan, the Armenians
would be encouraged by the younger
and more progressive generation OF
! Constantinople Turks.
