COMMENT OF LONDON PRESS.
The Will of Cecil Rhodes a Peculial
 and Remarkable Document.

London April 5.-The London papers all comment in various terms of eulogy on the remarkable character of the munih- cent bequests of Cecil Rhodes and the strong personality displayed in his testa- | mentary dispositions.
 Seldom" says The Daily Chronicle,
 has a human document of more curious interest been given to the world. All the romance of his character. his passion
 or patriotism, his ideal of public service and his conception of the use of money as a means of enforcing his ideas are stamp ed indelibly on this statement"
 The Daily Mail says:
 We venture to think that the testa- ment of Cecil Rhodes will pass into the story of his life as the greatest and mo- blest deed he ever accomplished Peculiarly noticeable IS the general absence of comment on MT. Rhodes's be- quests of scholarships to America and Germany. Except The Daily Telegraph. which describes them az most charac- teristic," almost the only other paper touching on this subject is The Daily Express, which considers the endowment of American scholarships to be most re- markable in view of the fact that Cecil Rhodes bestowed quite 50 per cent more scholarships in the United States than in the British Empire. Great, therefore. as the imperial ele- ment of the scheme is, there seems to be meaning in it which is even greater, says The Daly Express and the paper asks: Docs it not anticipate and aim the
 unity of the English speaking world?" According to The Daily telegraph, the will of Cecil Rhodes deals with total of 16.00OO00.
 In an editorial The Times says that
 Cecil Rhodes has furnished a modern
 parallel to Caesars will, as depicted by
 Shakespeare. The Times, like the other
 papers. merely mentioned the fact that
 the United States will be able to Have
 hundred scholars permanently a OK ford" and it says it thinks the rules for
 the selection of these scholars to be both curious and business like

EXCLUSION OF CHINESE
SENATE AND HOUSE ARE CON-
 SIDERING THE QUESTION.
Quay Desires the Admission of Celestials Who are Converts to Christianity and Defendants
 of the Foreign Legations.

Washington. April 4.-The Senate to- day began consideration of the Chinese exclusion bill, Mir. Mitchell (Ore) making the opening speech. He pointed out force fully the necessity for the exclusion Of Chinese laborers and carefully and elab- orately analysed the bill He said that it had been constructed on the basis of
 existing law in the light of experience and of the decisions of the courts. While its provisions were drastic, the bill. he said, in some respects was more liberal than the Geary act During the consid- eration of the Chinese exclusion bill. Minister Wu was in the diplomatic gall rery and took lively interest in the proceedings.
 A concurrent resolution was adopted providing for the appointment of a joint committee of the two branches of Con- gress to attend the ceremonies incident to the transfer of the I,'mai,.s of General William S. Rosecrsns of California to their final resting place In Arlington cemetery, near this city. The committee on the part of the Senate was named as follows: Senators Foraker. Spooner, Proctor, Bate and Pettus. The reading of the Chinese exclusion then was be- gun and valious and committee amend ments and amendments in phraseology were agreed to.
 MT. Quay gave notice of the following amendment as an additional section: That nothing herein contained shall be construed to exclude Chinese Christians or Chinese who assisted in the defense or relief of the foreign legations or the Pc Tag cathedral in the city of Pekin in the year 19O0."
 In response to an inquiry by Mir. Quay. MT. Penrose. in charge of the measure said he could not accept the amendment as not d member of the immigration Committee was in favor of it..
 How many Chinese will that amend ment let in?" inquired MT. Mitchell
 T hope it would have the effect" re- piled MT. Quay "of Christianzing the entire Chinese Empire"
 Tt would let in at least million, suggested MT. Mitchell.
 Quite likely 35O,000, ,000" interjccted MT. Hale.
 Without concluding the reading of the bill, the Senate, at 5:l5 D. m. went into executive session and at 5;lS adjourned.

HISTORICAL REVOLUTION.
Count de Keratry Tells of His Rela-
 tions With Marshal Prim.

Paris. April An interesting historical revelation has been made by Count de Keratry, former prefc2t of police at a banquet given by the Aero Club in honor of the thirteen surviving aeronauts who left Paris during the siege of that city in 1S70-7I.
 The Count. who descended at Frilon, near Bar-lc-Duc. department of Mouse, after q perilous journey said he was en- trusted by the national defense govern ment with q mission to Madrid. where he was to try to persuade Marshal Prim to proclaim d republic in Spain. Keratry had in the balloon sixty million francs. in treasury bonds, which detachment of Prussian Uhlans nearly captured. The army corps of 5O.O0O men which Spain was to place at Frances disposal. Marshal Prjm refused to undertake the task, although SeIor Castelar and other Span ish republicans supported the proposi- tion Marshal Prm was assassinated three months afterward and his murdere- was never discovered.
 Marshal Prim organized the movement which in September. 1868. resulted in the flight from Spain of Queen Isabella. He subsequently becames minister of war in the provisional government and furnish ed the pretext for the Franco-Prussion war of 1s7O-71 by offering the throne of Spain to Prince Leopold of Hohenzol- Tern. In the autumn of 1870 Marshal Prim obtained from the Spanish Cortes the election of the Italian Prince Amadeus Duke of AOsta as King of Spain.
