EXCLUSION OF TIIE CHINESE

The President Steus tlio Dill Recently Passed by the Donse and Senate, o - And Sngjpsts a Flan for Complete Protection of Chinamen Now En Route$ Also, Indemnity for the Rock Spring Riots. TAsnrxGTo:, Oct L The President sent tn following message to Congress today: "I have this day approved House bill No. 11,336, supplementary to an act entitled: An act to execute certain treat atipolaMons rtlatiog to Chinese, approved the Cth day . ': May, 1832. "It seems to me that some aoejrestions and recommendations may properly accompany approval of this bill. Its obiect is to more effectually accomplish by legislation the exclusion from this country of Chinese labor. The experiment of blendinc the social habits and national idiosyncrasies of the Chinese laboring classes with too of the (treat body of the people of the United States has been proved by the experience cf twenty Tears, and ever since the Burlingams) treaty of lS&o, to be in every sense unwise, impolitic and Id jar ions to both nations. Witb the lapse of time the necessity for its abandonment has grown in foree, until those having in charge the government f the respective countries have re-solved to modify and sufficiently abrogate all these features of prior conventional arrangements which permitted the coming of Cninese laborers to the United States. In modification of prior contentions, the treaty of Not. 17, 1630, was conelnded, w ft ere by, in the first article thereof. It was agreed tbat the United States should at ttill regulate, limit cr suspend the coming of Chinese laborers to the United States, but not absolutely prohibit it; and under this article an act of Coo press, approved ou May 6, 1832 (see VoL 22, p. 58. Statutes at Large), and amended July 5. It 34 (VoL 23, p. 115. Statute at Large), impended for ten years the coming of Chinese laborers to the United States, and reg.tilated the going and coming of such Chinese laborers as were at tbat time in in the United States. It was, however, soon made evident that the mercenary greed of the parties who were trading in the labor cf this class of the Chinese population was proving too strong for the just execution of the law, and that the virtual defeat of the object and intent of boto law and treaty was being fraudnleatly accomplished by false pretense and perjury, contrary to the expressed will of both governments. To such an extent has the successful violation of the treaty and the laws enacted for its execution progressed, that the courts in the PaciQo Btateshave been for sometime past overwhelmed by the examination of cases of Chinese laborers who are charged with having entered our ports nnder fraudulent certificates of return, or who reek to establish by perjury the claim of rior residence. Such demonstration of the inoperative and inefficient condition of the treaty and law bas produced deep seated and increasing discontent among the people of the United States, and especla'ly with those resident on the Pacific coast This has induced me to omit no effort to find an effectual remedy for the evils eomplaiDed of, and to answer the earnest popular demand for the absolute exclusion of Chinese laborers having objects and purposes unlike our own and wholly disconnected with American citizenship. "Aided by the presence in this country of able and intelligent diplomatio and counsular cScers of the Chinese government and the representations made from time to time by our minister in China nnder the instructions of the iJepartdect of State, the aetual condition of Eublic sentiment and the status of affairs in the Tnited States has bean fully known to the government of Chita. The necessity for remedy las been folly appreciated by that government, and in August, 1S36, our minister at Peking received from the Chinese foreign oGce a communication announcing that China, of her own accord, proposed to establish a system of strict and absolute prohibition of her laborers, under heavy penalties, from coming to the United States and likewise to prohibit the return to the United States of any Chinese laborer who had at any time gone back to China, 'in order' (in the words of the communication) 'that the Chinese laborers may be gradually reduced in cumber and causes of danger averted and lives preserved.1 This view of the Chinese government, so completely in harmony with that of the United States, wa,by my direction, speedily formulated in a treaty draft between the two nations embodying the prepositions so presented by the Chinese foreign office. The deliberations, frequent oral discussions and correspondence on the general questiocs that ensued have been iully communicated by me to the Senate at the present session, aod as contained in state executive document O, Tarts 1 and 2, and Senate executive document No. 272 may be properly re ferred to as containing a complete history of the transaction. It ii thus easy to learn how the joint desires aod unequivocal mutual understanding cf the two governments were brought into articulated form in tne treaty, which, after a mutual exhibition of plenary powers from the respective governments, was signed and concluded by tte plenipotentiaries of the United Slates and China at this capital on March 12, lzsx. Being submitted for the advice and consent of the Senate, its confirmation, on the 7th day of May last, was accompanied by two amendments, which that body engrafted upon it. On the 12th day of the game month the Chinese minister, who was the plampotentiary of his government in the negotiation and the conclusion of the treaty, in a note to the Secretary of State, gave his approval of these amendments, 'as tbey did not Iter the terms of the treaty,' and the amend' tnente were at once telegraphed to Chink, whither the original treaty bad previously been lent immediately after its signature on March 12. "On the 13th day of last month I approved Senate biU No. 3C0-1, 'to prohibit the coming of Chinese laborers to the United States.' This bill was intended to supplement the treaty, and was approved in the confident anticipation of an early exchange of ratifications of the treaty and Its amendments and the proclamation of the same, upon which event the legislation so approved .was, by its terms, to take effect. No information of any definite action upon the treaty by the Chinese government was riceived until the 21st nit, the day the bill which 1 have just approved was presented tome, when a telegram from oar minister at Peking to the Secretary of Stcte announced the refusal of the Chinese government to exchange ratifications of the treaty, unless further discussion should be Lad with a view to shorten the period stipulated in the treaty for the exclusion of Chinese laborers and to change the conditions agreed on whieh should entitle any Chinese laborer who might go back to China to return again to te United States. By a note from the charge d'affaires ad interim of China to the. Secretary of State, received on the evening cf the 23th ult (a copy of which is herewith transmitted, together with the rep!y thereto), a third amendment is proposed, whereby the certificate under which any departing Chinese laborer alleging j the possession of property in the United States i irould.be enabled. to return to this country, should be granted by the Chinese consul instead of the United States collector, as had been provided in the treaty. The obvious and necessary effect of this last proposition would be, practically, to place the execution of the treaty beyond the control of the United States. Article 1 of the treaty, proposed to be so materially altered, had, in the course of the negotiations. ben settled in acquiescence with the request of toe Chinese plenipotentiary and to bis expressed satisfaction in 1SSG, as appears in the documents heretofore referred to; the Chinese foreign ofSce had formally proposed to our minister Rtriet exclusion of Chinese laborers from the United States without limitation, and had otherwise and more definitely stated that no term whatever tor exclusion was necessary, for the reason that China would of itself take steps to prevent its laborers from coming to the Unitad States. In the course of the negotiations that followed, suggestions from the same quarter led to the insertion in behalf of the United States of a term of -thirty years and this term, upon the representations of the Chinese plenipotentiary, was reduced to 'twenty years, and finally so agreed upan. Article 2 was wholly of Chinese origination, and to that alone ewes its presence in the treaty. "And it is hsre pertinent to remark that everywhere in the United States laws for the collection of debts are equally available to all creditors, without respect to race, sex, nationality, or place of residence, and, equally with' the citizens or subjects of the most favored nations, and with citizens of the United States, recovery can be bad in any court of justice in the United States by a subject of China, whether of the laboring or any other class. No disability accrues from nonresidence of a plaintiff, whose claim can be enforced in the usual way by him or by his assignee or attorney in our courts of justice. In this respect it cannot be alleged that there exists the slightest discrimination against Chinese subjects, and it is a notable fact that large trading firms and companies and individual merchants and traders of that nation are profitably established at numerous r iota throughout the Union, in whose hands every claim transmitted by an absent Chinaman of a just and lawful nature could be completely enforced. "The admitted and paramount right and duty of every government to exclude from it borders all elements of fot eign population which, for any reason, retard its prosperity or are detrimental to the moral and physical health of ita people, must be regarded as a recognized caoon of international law aod intercourse. China herself has not descended from this doctrine, out has, by the expressions to which I have referred, led us ae&ftisBtlj to rtly upon such action on her part

in co-operation with us as would enfore the exclusion of Chinese laborers from our country. This co-operation baa not, however, bven accorded us. Thus from the unexpected and disappointing refusal of the Chinese government to confirm the acts of its authorized agen and to carry into effect an international agreement, the main feature of which was voluntarily presented by that government for our acceptance, and which had been the subject of long and careful deliberation, an emergency bas arisen in which the government of the United States is called on to act in self-defense by the exercise of its legislative power. I cannot but regard the expressed demand on the part of China for a re-examination and renewed discussion of the topics so completely covered by mutual treaty stipulations as an indefinite postponement and practical abandonment of the objects we have in view, to which the government of China may justly be considered as pledged. The facts and circumstances which I have narrated led me, in the nerforroance of what seems to me to be my official duty, to join the Congress in dealing legislatively with the question of the exclusion of Chinese laborers, in lieu of further attempts to adjust it by international agreement. But while thus exercising our undoubted rights in the interests of our people and for the general welfare of our country, justice and fairness seem to require tbat some provision should be made by act or joint resolution under which such Chinese laborers as shall actually have embarked on their return to the United'States before the passage cf the law this day approved, aod are now on their way, may be permitted to land, provided they have duly and lawfully obtained and shall present certificates heretofore itsaed permitting them to retarn in accordance with the provisions of existing law. Nor should our recourse to legislative measures of exclusion cause ns to retire from the offer we have made to indemnify such Chines subjects as have suffered damage through violence in the remote and comparatively unsettled portions of our country at the hands of lawless men. Therefore, 1 recommend that, without acknowledging legal liability therefor, but because it was stipulated in the treaty which has failed to take effect, and in a spirit of humanity befitting our Nation, there be appropriated the sum of 276,619.75, payable to the Chinese minister at this capital on behalf of his government, as fnll indemnity for all losses and mjuries sustained by Chinese subjects in the manner and nnder the circumstances mentioned. "G rover Cleveland. Exicrrrvx Mansion, Oct. 1, 1S33." ' RAZOR AND TIIE REVOLVER.

John Schneider, Attacked by m 3 la a and Woman, Is Badlj Wounded. John Schneider, colored, who came here about four months ago from Milwaukee was found at 7 o'clock last night at the corner of Washington and West streets, lying on the sidewalk,bleedinafrom several wounds made with a razor. lie was taken to the police station in the patrol wagon, where Dr. Dodges attended him. The lower part of his right ear had been cut off and on the right side of his neeic deep gash six inches across, ing the jugular vein. Ue was a also slightly cut on the lower part of the abdomen. In explaining how be was tbes wounded, Sehneider said that, returning from Frank Buck's saloon, on West Washington street, he was goine to his room at John Barber's, on New York street. Near George Zapfa saloon, on Columbia street, ho met Martha Johnson and entered into conversation with her. Ue had been talking bat a few moments, he says, when Rachael Jackson, colored, came out of the house and, stepping opto the Johnson woman, knocked her down. She regained her feet and came at the Jackson woman again, aod as she did so, he caught her arms and held her. While he was holding her, Joe Campbell, a barber on Fort Wayne avenue, came np and ordered him to release the woman, at the same time pulling out a razor. Schneider says he released the woman, and started to leave, when Campbell made an effort to detain him. Then Schneider began running, followed by both the Jackson woman and CampbelL The latter overtook him aod tried several times to use the razor. When the pursuing woman came up with him she caught Schneider by the arms and helped Campbell throw him down. She then held him while Campbell began slashing bim with the razor. He states tbat his escape from being murdered was owing to some persons in the crowd yelling that Campbell was killing a man and for some one to go for a policeman. Campbell was arrested and brought to the station. He hadadsep cat on bis head, wbicb, he claims, was made with a stone thrown by Schneider. Ue denied having had anything to do with the cutting. Schneider afterwards stated that he had thrown a stone at Campbell while he was pursuing him. All the parties concerned will b9 arrested. Schneider was taken to the City Hospital. He says ho acquired his German name by being raised in a family of that name and nationality. For the past wsek be has been digging trenches for the Trust Company. Ue is thirty-five years old and unmarried. A r.ates House Servant Shot, About noon, yesterday, while in the room of the hotel used by eervants of his class, Edward .Barry, colored, a scrubber at the Bates House, was shot. The bail, a 32-calibre, entered the left side about midway betwesn the hip and shoulder, and ranging to the front passed out on the left siJe almost epposite where It entered. He was immediately removed to the City Hospital Barry first said that Charles Essley, a colored waiter, did the shooting, but later on asserted that another waiter, Charles Gsst, shot him. A bell boy, who claims to have witnessed the difficulty between Barry and Gast, nays they were playing cards for money, and that the quarrel arose over 10 eents which Gast said Barry owed him. Gast could not be found by tee police yesterday afternoon, as the matter was not reported to them until an hour or two after the occurrence. - s AMUSEMENTS. 1JCASD OPERA-HOUSE JOHNSON A FLAVIN. Johnson & Slavin'e Minstrels entertained a very large audience at the Grand last night, with an excellent performance, in which several new features were introduced. Carroll Johnson was in bad voice, the result of a severe cold, aod his singing was therefore not up to his usual standard. Bob Slavin in his specialty is tim&ly inimitable, and with the Slbini family of bydelists and acrobats furnishes the features of the performance. The work of the Selbiois is simply marvelous, and the usoal minstrel features, dancing and singing, are fairly good. Hughey Doherty, an old-time favoritie, also received a hearty welcome and scored his usual hit 'jiuldoon's riCNIO" AT the pack. The current attraction at the Park is the Humphrey & Crossley Dramatis and Specialty Company, which presented "Muldoon's Picnic" to two large audiences yesterday, and the performance was received with much laughter. It was preceded by the amusing farce, "China vs. Germany. Metsrs. Sam Ryan, Harry Gibson, little Byou Carew and others bad the principal parts. The specialties and singing of the company made a hit. They will remain all week, alternoon and evening. NOTES. Bartley Campbell's best play, "The White Slave," will be at the Grand the latter part of this week and the advance sale will bejin today. It will be given a special scenic Broducion. "Fashions," the new musical comsdy by Gratton Donnelly, author of "Natural Gas," will be seen for the first time here at English's to-night The company is one of the best engaged in such work. It includes the Irwin Sisters, Flora and May, Hilda Thomas, Ella Jerome. Charles V. Seamon, Charles Jerome and others, who can sing and danee and do various other amusing things. The company played in Detroit last week, and the Freo Press of tbat city, says tbat the performance is much funnier than that of "Natural Gas." There is & good advance sale. Looking for a Librarian. The library committee of the school Doard has no yet decided upon whom it will recommend crthe position of city librarian. At present the only persons spoken of in connection with the position are Miss Marsee, Albert Yohn and Meredith Nicholson, of the Evening News. On former oemsions newspaper mjn have been spoken of in connection with the position, but none have ever held it. When Mr. Hooper was appointed, Dan. L. Paine, of the News, was a candidate for tho position, and A. G. Matthews, now of the Memphis Appeal, was at one time offered the place. 'I feel that we shoald be very careful about making a selection," said a member of the school board yesterday. "There are several things to be considered in connection with the appointment. We should select a person who will take an interest in the library and continue in the position for years. The appointee should have a thorough knowledge of books and authors, and shoald b a person with good executive ability. The library is one of the finest in the West, ar.1 in a resident city like Indianapolis shoald te a great feature. The librarian should know the wants of the people, aod if he properly cares for them the institution can be made a wonderful educator."

AFFAIRS OF THE RAILWAYS. Tho Future of tho Wig Fonr. M. E. Ingalb, president 'of the Cincinnati, Indianapolis, St. Louis Chicago road, and of the Chesapeake & .X)hio, has been in New York for some time, and in an interview with a reporter of the New York Bulletin regarding the relations of the two companies, he spoke confidently of the'.'prosptcts of both of the roads under hia control, which shortly will be merged inta a new through line from Chieago to the Atlantic seaboard by the completion of the new Ohio river bridge, upon which satisfactory progress is being made. Mr. In trails ays that the earnings of the systems are making good gains, and tbat the report of-the Chicago road will show earnings considerably above dividend payments. He is satisfied tbat the completion of the bridge above mentioned will lead to a considerable iucrease in the tonnage of both roads. There is room for development in both instances. .The advance in the stock: of the Cincinnati, Indianapolis, St. Louis & Chicaco bas been one of the features of the stock market for a month past, and it is raid to be based upon the fact- above mentioood. Besides these, however, the company is now reaping the benefit of its refunding scheme. In 16S6 the new mortgage tor $10,000,000 at 4 per cent, was authorized, the bonds to be issued to retire the 7 per cent obligations of the compsny as they mature. This would require 49,000,000 of the new fours. The : remaining $1,000,000 bonds are reserved for other purposes, especially the purchase cf new equipment as needed. The Situation wttli the T., Sc. L. fc IL. C. President Callaway, of the Toledo, St. Louis & Kansas City road, U( In New York in conference with the friends of the property. As to the completion of the road through to St. Louis, Mr. Callaway can say very little of a definite character as yet Contractor Leland, who is widening the gauge to standard, still says that he will have the work completed this season, though his contract with the company makes the middle of 1859 his time limit Mr. Callaway himself does not see how the work can be well finished this season; but bis road is now doing a through traffic, having made the necessary contracts with the Bee-line for the use of its tracks to St Louis from the present terminus of its own standard gauge line. Ex-President Quiffley is expected to return from Europe soon. The result of his trip abroad is not definitely, known, bnt it is reported to have been not as entirely successful as sxpected. The report comes to us indirectly from a reliable authority that Mr. Quigley went abroad to negotiate a block of the company's bonds to pay for the work now being done. Mr. Callaway cannot give particulars as to this, but says that if Mr. Qnigley is negotiating bonds be is doing it as the agent of the contractor and not of the company. Personal, Local and State Notes. The Chesapeake & Ohio road has asked the Indianapolis car-works to bid on GOO boxcars to be delivered by Jan. 1. President Layng. General Mansger Beach and other officials of the Bee-line, will start on their annual inspection trip Oct -2. A meeting of the presidents and general man agers of the roads composing the Union Railway Company has been called for Oct. 10 at noon. The Tare Haute ear-works yesterday commenced ou a contract to build 500 gondola cars for the Buffalo, New York & Philadelphia road. Geo. Maekay has been appointed agent of the Blue & Canada Southern line at Milwaukee, and A. Walton agent of the 'same lines at Omaha. General Manager Bradbury, of the Lake Erie & Western, has so far recovered from his recent illness that he was at his headquarters most of the day yesterday. The troops of people who are flocking to see General Harrison are also contributing handsomely to the prosperity of the roads in the Central Traffic Association. The Local Freight Agenta' Association yesterday at their monthly meeting elocted Colonel S. F. Gray chairman of the association vice J. Q. Van Winkle resigned. The question of wages between the railroad companies centering here and their yardmen and switchmen still hangs fire, but indications are that it will be adjusted agreeably 'to both parties. September closes with a very handsome Increase in earnings with the Lake Erie & Western road. The aggreeate earnings of the last five months of this year bid fair to reach a million dollars. The New York & New England road has. adopted fcr its standard passenger engines the same build of the heavy fast express engines now in service on the Indianapolis division of the Pennsylvania hoes. Wm. A. Wiggins has been appointed traveling passenger agent for this immediate district for the Cincinnati Hamilton & Dayton lines. He arrived in the city yesterday and will at once assume the duties ot the position. The round-trio rate to Columbus, O., yesterday was dropped to $2, and the rate to Pittsburg via tho Bee-line round trip to $4, still the general passenger agents cf the two lines claim that the relations between the two roads are of a friendly character. The Cincinnati, Hamilton Sc Dayton company Is placing under the roaches and baggage cars which are run in its fast trains a truck which i3 abont one-third heavier than the ordinary truck, and paper wheels. This improvement is to go on as fast as the coaches can be brought into the shop, until ail are thus substantially equipped. On Sunday night the Wab?.sh railway commence running their vestibale limited express trains from Toledo to St. Louis. They are run as first sections of trains Nos. 42 and 43, and are most magnificently appointed affair, they consist of a combination, a coach, a chair and two sleeping cars, and run daily. Toe chair cars are marvels of the kind and among the finest in the country. V. T. Malott has just closed his fifth year as vice-president and general manager of the Union Railway Company. On the evening that he was elected to that position he said, to a reporter of the Journal, that his election meant a new Union Station at Indianapolis. To tne question, "How soonl" he answered: "Within the next five years." It would require patience, he said, as there was much preliminary work to do in the way of securing proper legislation. In railroad circles the opinion prevails that before the week closes there will be a general restoration of rates ordered. Calling a halt in thsse greatest of railroad wars certainly would be a good thing. If the pledge to maintain rates can be kept, the railroads will be able to derive signal advantage from the movement of the 1833 crops, ordinary merchandise, and livestock traffic, not to mention the passenger business. The roads will need all the benefits which can be derived from the next six months' business to repair the damages of the struggle of the last eight months. Uewevor, rates are rarely ever fully restored to the level from which the cms were made, and there is a general belief that so far as passenger business is concerned 2 cents a mile is to be the rate of the future. In 1S87 a committee was appointed which has bad frequent conferences to bring about the adoption of a uniform .classification, but so radically different have been the; views ef the Eastern and Western members of the committee regarding the matter that they have finally thrown up the job in disgnst - It is hardly probable another effort will be made by the railroads in this direction, notwithstanding the desire for a unification of the Eastern and Western classifications. Nothing but legislation will likely force the adoption of such a measure. THE SCOURGE OF DISEASE.

A Base-Ball Game for the Benefit or Yellow Fever Fund. The Indianapolis Railroad Clerks' Association, at its last regular meeting, decided tok contribute to the relief of the stricken yellow fever sufferers of the South. With this object in view, it was decided to give a base ball game at Athletic Park on the afternoon of Saturday, Oct C, the proceeds to be devoted to t Dis good cause. Since the inception of the idea the members of tba association have met with the greatest encouragement, especially by the officers of toe various roads centering in the city, who have allowed their clerks a half noliday Jn the occasion. Besides this the officers have been most liberal in the purchase of tickets, and everything now tends to show that tbe undertaking will be pro ductive of good results for the cause of the suf ferers. Death of Jnitntliwo Law. .i W. L. Taylor, city attorney, received a telegram yesterday from McCling, Fla., a small town south of Jacksonville, to tbe effect-that an uncle, Jonathan Law, bad disd there of yellow fever. An effort was made to establish communication between Indianapolis and the town, with the hopes of having tbe body sent here for burial, but it was unsuccessfal. Mr. Law was formerly a resident of Indianapolis, and was at one time a member ot tbe Indiana Legislature. Diphtheria Abating. v Five new cases of diphtheria were reported to the city health board yesterday. The late cases

are ot a very mild type, and it is thought there will be no further spread of the disease. Bat few doathe are ocenring now. ,. CULLINGS FKOM TIIE C0UETS. Mrs. March's Alibi Somewhat Weakened by the Prosecution's Testimony. The c&se against Laura March, charged with obtaining goods from Born & Co. under false pretense, was np bofore Jadce Irvin, of the Criminal Court, again yesterday. The cass has developed some very remarkable features. Last week the woman introduced evidence to the effect that she was in Newton county, Iowa, when the goods were received from the firm. Among the witnesses who furnished such testimony was a physician from Iowa, who said he was attending the woman in sickness at that time, and also a woman who claims to be a sister of the accused. Yesterday there was positive evidence that the woman was in Indianapolis on the day the goods were received, and that they ware shipped to the Iowa town where Miss March claimed she was at the time, sick. There is some mystery surrounding the woman and ber alibi witnesses, and Judge Irvin is determined to go to the bottom of the case. There are several more witnesses to be examined today. A Queer Claim for Damage. Mrs. Kate Massooie wants $5,000 from Mr. Martin Breen because he caused her to fall, as she alleges, over a cradle in her home on the day of the last city election. Mr. Breen was acting in the capacity of a challenger at the polls in his precinct, and on entering Mrs. Massonie's house for the purpose of hanging up his overcoat, he stumbled and fell in the hallway. In getting out of his way Mrs. Maesonie fell over the cradle. The cause is on trial before a jury in Judge Howe's room, Saperior Court Grand .Jury In Session. The county grand jury convened yesterday morning for a ten days' session. The most important work before it is the investigation of the char-re of mnrder against Albert Eaton, arrested for the killing of Thomas Conaughtoo. All those who pretend to know anything about this ease have been summoned, and the inquiry will likely begin to-day George Stahl Iteleased. George Stahl, arrested Saturday charged with embezzlement, was discharged by the Mayor yesterday morning. The evidence showed that Stahl had received $10 from a customer, and he sent an employe out to get the money changed. The man did not return, aod the customer undertook to hold Mr. Stahl responsible. A Cas Postponed. The trial of Thomas M. Gruelle, and others connected with tbe Labor Signal, for criminal libel, has been postponed by Justice Alford. The postponement was made necessary because Mr. Spaan, attorney fcr the defendants, is engaged in the trial of a Superior Court case. The Court Record. SUPREME COURT. Hon. Win. K. Niblack, C.
