A PROTEST FROM CHINA.

Declares Chinese Exclusion from Phil
ippineS Opposes International Law.
Washington Sept. 19.-The imperial
Chinese government, through its min
lister here, Mr.. WI Ting-Fang, has
lodged with the state department an
emphatic protest against the military
order of General Otis excluding Chi
nese from the Philippines. Neither
the state department nor the Chinese
legation will give any information con-
corning the protest. but from entirely
reliable quarters it is now learned
that it insists that General Otis
action is contrary to international
law. in violation of existing treaties,
and in complete disregard of the
friendly relations which have been so
long maintained between the two cour-
tries Minister WI called at the state
department last Friday. and it is be-
lievcd ne submitted the protest in per-
son at that time.
General Otis order excerpts such Chi
nese as have previously lived in the
Philippines. and who hold certificates
showing this fact. 1t also eXcepus
Chinese officials. travellers. etc. eX-
cepted under the treaty between the
United States and China Provision is
made for registering the Chinese in
the Philippines, and their deportation
to China in case OF failure to register.
AS very few Chinese other than those
now in the Philippines come within
the exceptions, the effect OF the decree
is TO make the exclusion practically
absolute.
The Chinese protest is said to be
couched in most dignifed and courtc-
Gus terms, but to be SO pointed that
no doubt is left as to the deep UNI
bragg the Chinese government feels
over this order OF General Otis.

THAT CONFESSION cake"

Prosecutor Jenkins DcnounccS the
Whole story rs Nonsense.
Camden, Sept. 1G.-Nothing remains
of the Shaw sensation Camden awoke
Thursday to hear of the arrest of Il
prominent young citizen, Eugene OAR
nell. charged with being accessory
after the fact in the murder of Mrs.
Zane and Mrs. Shaw. upon the night
of Oct e 1891, and to read of con-
fession by Eli Shaw that he was guilty
of these crimes. The Witnesses who
were supposed to be ready to connect
Darnell with the crime and substanti-
ate Shaw,'s|co confession was Silas c.
Cline, astollgate keeper. and Mrs. Neil.
son, mother of the young woman to
whom Shaw was engaged at the time
of the murders. and an unknown man
living on Pine street. All but the
unknown" have been interviewed,
and all declare that there is not a
scintilla of truth il the story. Prose
cutor Jenkins declares that the whole
story is nonsense from beginning to
end, and there is not particle of
evidence to warrant Darnell's arrest. )"
Darnell, who is out on bail, declares
he will prosecute the conspirators who
caused his arrest and sue the paper
publishing the story for damages.
