Washington, Oct. l.—The following is
the President’s message to congress to-day
with the Chinese bill: •
To the congress: I have this day approved
House bill No. 11,336, supplementary to an
act entitled, “An act to execute certain
treaty stipulations relating to the Chinese,"
approved sixth day of May, 1*82.
It seems to me that some sugges’ions and
recommendations may properly* accompany
my approval of this bill. Its object is to
more effectually accomplish by legislation
the exclusion from this country of Chinese
laborers. The experiment of blending the
social habits and mutual race idiosyncrasies

the request of the Chinese plenipotentiary,
who expressed satisfaction, fn 18*6, as ap
pears in documents heretofore referred to,
the Chinese foreign office had formally pro
posed to our minister the strict exrlusion of
Chinese laborers from the United States
without limitation, and had otherwise and
more definitely stated that no term what
ever for exclusion was necessary for the
reason that Chinn would of itself take steps
to prevent its laborers from coming to the
United States.
In the course of the negotiations that fol
lowed, suggestions from the same quarter led
to the insertion in behalf of the United
States, a term of 30years, and this term upon
the representations of the Chinese plenipo
tentiary was reduced to 20 years, and finally
so agreed upon.

find it pitched near a spring, just t-> tlie
right of the road. Approaching it, wc are
surprised and pleased to see the whole
place cheeriul'y lighted with hanging lan
terns. There are five large circul r tents,
three of them arranged as sleeping r oms,
one as a dining room, another as a kitchen.
In each sleeping tent there are two camp
bedsteads comfortably furnished, a dress
ing table on which ure basins and pitchers
end candles burning in silver-plated can
dlesticks; an Oriental rug covers tin
ground and camp-chairs stand invitingly
about. Each tent is covered on the inner
side with a lining of dark blue, on whiph
figures are wrought in Oriental designs in
white and yellow and red. The dinner,
whoa announced, is a new surprise. A
table brilliantly lighted, covered
with the whitest of cloth
and furnished with a service
that would do credit to any hotel, stands
ready to welcome us. The dinner L> served
hot and in courses. There is soup, meats
of various kinds, vegetables, fruits, nuts
snd coflee, and a merry meal it is. At C
in the morning we are called to a break
fast of hot rolls, broiled chicken, eggi,
ham and coffee. On coming out of tlie
tent when breakfa t is over we are sur
prised to see that three of the tents hav
already disappeared, and, by the time w.
are started on onr way evety vestige of the
camp is gone. It will be many a day be

by three horses. It was about 1 o’clock on
a day in April that we left the city,
headed by our dragoman on horseback,
-orgeous in ' his dress, wearing on his
head tlie gay-colored silk kefliyeli of
the Bedouin sheik, and carrying at bis
side an immense Turkish sword. The
outskirts of Jaffa are exceedingly
attractive. On either side are fine resi
dences and beautiful gardens, while groves
of orange and pomegranate, palm, lemon
and fig cover all the region. Many of the
trees are in blossom as we pass, and the air
is delicious with perfume. Emerging into

ture. 1 had seen her on my last visit to
New York several years ago. She was»
massage operator, and she had customers,
or patients, in several wealthy ftmilies.
'i he sight cl her was enough to scare one
for she looked like a witch. Nevertheless!
ladies with most sensitive nerves hired her
to rub, and pnnch, and knead them. They
imagined tliat_ she possessed peculiar
electrical merit. Anyhow, she was
an adept at her work
and two or three great physicians habitu
ally recommend her. She charged $2 an
hour, but pretended that a single hhura
work exhausted her vitality for the day,
and that therefore tier price ivas not un
reasonable. She was shabby in dress at
first, but she managed, by means of hints
and devices, to get her patrons to give
discarded clothes to her. Well, a little
while ago she was found helplessly weak
and ill in her rooms and was taken to the
hospital to die. I have personally invest
igated the case of old Mother Jarvis, and
1 find that she was a miser of the most ex
treme type. She lived in absolute want
and squalor, friendless and alone. For
forty-three years she had occupied the
same two mi.erable room:. Their fur-

consisted of rags, except a sample gown in

A remarkable story of unrequited love
comes down from the house of correction.
For weeks a woman giving the name of
Maria ^rnith made the life of a busiuess
man miserable, and he did not know
what minute he might be shot down in
the street or uflon leaving his house,
located on Drummond street, near
Seventeenth. * The woman has been ic the
employ of a sewing machine company
which the gentleman manages, near Fif
teenth and Chestnut streets, and from the
nature of her business she was thrown in
close and constant contact with him. He
often noticed that the woman was more
than usually attentive to his wants, but be
regarded her simply ar a very dutiful
girl, and often spoke words of encourage
ment lo her. Her attentions grew more
annoying, and dually she was discharged.
Her dismissal, however, was not the
remedy and Miss Smith started out with
renewed vigor. Notes were showered" on
the machine man, one after tbe other, im-j
ploring his forgiveness, and asking him to
meet h- r. She waylaid him oa the streets,
and, in order to escape her, he retorted to
all sorts of trickery.
The infatuated woman rang the door
bell of his hou e repeatedly, and otherwise
annoyed the man she loved until he was
compelled to cull on the police. As the
former employer refused to make, a com
plaint against the vomaa the police were
powerless to arrest her. A special officer
