the supreme bench of New York, can
not now be determined: but in any
event there is little cause for alarm
on the part Of republicans. On the

telegraphy. The current opinion is
that it would be desirable in case OF
war. especially along the seaboard,
where stations for the receipt of WI e.
less messages are springing up. The
weather bureau has been doing some
of this work. and not long ago the Sec
getary of agriculture announced TO the
president that a clerk In his depart

Notwithstanding China's objection to
the manner in which her subjects are
excluded from this country. congress
will make still stronger the exclusion
