The Omaha gentleman stepped in I see the governor , and on entering the recei lion room found it deserted , the private se rotary having stepped out. They Were Tnlkln Loudly.

The attorney general replied that ho ha n family dependent upon him and could m afford to give up the position. The governor stated that there were othi men earning u living outside of a pub ! ofilce , and that it was not a question of tl needs of the Individual , as the interests the state and the people must first bo co fdtlcrcd , mm that , in the interests of goi government , the officials who had proven u faithful to the public trust must o.

The gentleman In the reception roe states that Hastings immediately came o and passed through the room with his slou hat drawn dcwn over his face , his ban' ' clinched and his general appoiranco : indlca Ing u state of combined perturbation of mil und exasperation , The governor also stepped out into the r ccptlon room , and seeing the visitor at roalUlns that the conversation was knon \o at least thrco parties , remarked : "Well , you heard what was siid : ? " The Omaha gentleman said that he h been made an unwilling listener , and t pressed regret that ho had been placed , such u position.

The delay In the announcement of the lirst mentioned and more generally known en gagement is , I also hear , due to the desire ol the princess of Wales rather than , as is gen crully burmlsed , to any objection on the part of the queen. Already , It is said , the settle ments of the future Lady Uosebcry arc being discussed , though It is not at all likely that there will bo any hitch upon this score.

Nr.w YOHK , March 'Jl.-Culoncl Elliot Fitch Shepard , editor of the Mail and Ex press , died suddenly this afternoon at his homo , 2 West Fifty-second street. His death followed the administration of ether by Dr. Charles McHurney and his family physician , Dr. .1. W. McLano , who wore about to inako an examination to ascert'iin whether the colonel's suspicion that he suflcred from stone in the bladder was eorrcvt. Up to this morning Colonel Shepard attended - tended to business In his usual way. Last evening ho merely told his maiugor , A. B. Dofrivce , that he probably would not be down on Friday , but he would be there Sat urday afternoon. Before the arrival of the doctors he complained of severe pains and called up the Mail uud Express and gave a number of instructions about the future con duct of the newspaper in case anything should happen to him. Later the distress which tic suffered left him , and when the phy-sU-ians and nurses came in ho was in good spirits. Ho induced his wife and youngest daughters. Marguerite and Alice , who were at home , to go olT to Searhoro for the day. His son , Klliot F. Shepard , Jr. , was a' , home. About 1 o'clock Colonel Shepard said ho was ready for surgeons , and they , with the nurses , began the work of nutting him under the influence of ether. Ho inhaled the drug two or thrco limes , when the physicians de tected dangerous symptoms and slopped the inhalation. Colonel Shepard sank rapidly , and for some time it was feared ho could not bo rallied. Powerful restoratives were admin istered. At the end of an hour's work with oxygen he was restored to partial conscious ness and continued apparently to rally until 1 o'clock. Then , without warning and for no apparent reason , ho began rapidly to sink. Oxygen trcatment > was resumed , but it wasof no avail , and nt4:20 o'clock ho died. Ho was unconscious and his death was peaceful. The cause of death as given by the physi cians wus cudema of the lungs. immediately before Colonel Shopard's death messages were sent Mrs. Shepard announcing that ho was very low and might not live. She reached the house at G o'clock. Immediate friends of the family soon began to arrive. There was a string of carriages continu ally ate thFifth avenue side of the house all evening.

ABOUT CHINESE EXCLUSION Oorrcspomlonco on the Subjaot with the Government of Ohiua , ACTING SECRETARY V/HARTON'S / LETTER Ho IteplliM to the Nimu-rom Protest from lililiri Condition of Chinamen In the I'nllod ' Stiiten und Other Conn- trios Colltl-nMod. WASUINIITON , D. C. , March 21. The volume ) of correspondence with foreign gov ernments for 18112 , Just published by the State department , contains the llrat exposi tion of the views of thu government us expressed - pressed by the late administration upon the Chines" restriction and exclusion acts of ISSOuml IhlU , made Iu response to repeated protests by the Chinese minister residing in this city. Tsui Kwo Yen's last communication on the subject was dated November " , IS',12. In it ho referred to previous communications by both himself -ind his predecessor , as far back as January 2(1 ( , ISS'J , to both Secretaries Blnlno and Foster , and stated that on Octo ber fl , Ib'.HI , Mr. Bluino had expressed the hope of being able "at an early date to con voy to you the views of the president In ample and formal manner , " but that ho had not yet received the promised statement. To this communication Acting Secretary Whurton replied on December 12 , closing the correspondence to the date of preparation of the volume. He says tint the net of Octo ber I. 1C8S , ( the Scott law ) was brought about thy the rcvrotublo failure to complete the treaty signed at Washington , March 12 , 1HS3. The fuduro of that treaty , through the withholdment of the Imperial ratifica tion by China , says Mr. Wharton. exerted n , prejudicial influenceon American senti- incut. Mr. Wharton calls attention to the fact that the position of the Chinese in other countries and of the foreigner in China Is different from the relations existing bo- twfcn other natives and foreigners when brought into contact with well other , duo to the inherent immisjibint.v of the Mongolian and Caucasian races. Passing by the spe cial occasions of grievance by reason of acts of lawlessness Mr. Whurton proceeds to dis cuss the legislation which forms the basis of the protests tiled. He says : "While more precisely providing- for the exclusion of new coming Chinese la borers from our shores , in pursuunco of u l ollcy In regard to which the negotiations of Immediately preceding years huvoshown the governments to be in substanti.il accord , the new legislation aimed to meet the case of the Chinese subjects actually residing and labor ing in the United States by providing the means whereby their right to remain and enjoy the privileges of the residence stipu lated in the existinu' Ironies should bo eon- llrmcd to them by an orderly scheme of ttu Individual identification and certification. 'I ho statutes completely aim to protect the pei-sous and rights of all Chinese persons entitled - titled to residential privileges , as it does to prevent their fraudulent enjovmont by these not entitled thereto.1 Neeckslly lor the I.eglilatlon. The necessity for this legislation , Mr. Wharton observes , was duo to the fuel that herotoforci existing temporary legislation was about to expire , and the further fact that negotiations fora fuller international accord on the general subject had failed under conditions which urousU a belief that the uttiuule of China was obstructive und the claims' of China uuroasonablo. ' Mr. Wharton continues : "It is rcgrotablo that the attitude of the Chinese themselves ippcars to bo ns much ono of defiance of the provisions of the statute as that of your gov ernment is of protest against it in advnnco of a fair trial of its workings. "As for the charge of uneonstitutlonullty , brought against the penal provisions of the act in question , that Is u matter to "bo du- tormlnod , as yoiMiro doubtless aware , only by the Judicial branch of the government , which is us freely open to the Chinese sub ject us to the citizens of the United States. It is the duty of the oxecutivu to enforce the law and no executive power exists to evade or repeal it. "Tho province of thn executive branch in this dis-junsion is to bring about a bettor understanding of the matter and to reach a good accord as lo the principles involved , * Some such an accord should not bo fur to seek. Asjousay in your note of Novemoc.r b : 'It is conceded that the imperial gov ernment lias not encouraged the emigration , of its people from China to the United States , but , on the contrary , In the negotia tions between the countries on the subject , it has , in the most friendly manner , yielded to the suspension of emigration. ' ChlnuM I'oMtlon Should Ho Aniluiihle. "It is , perhaps , unfortunate that the tangible expression ot the friendly disposi tion went no further than the negotiations which preceded the collapse of the treaty , signed in 18SS. I HPO no reason why u better- understanding may not bu brought about whereby tlio position of China shall l > o ono of amicable eonc.urreiiro toward a rational and practical end. rather than ono of ob struction to the working of measures the adoption of which has been in a laigo degree forced upon the legislative power of the United States by the conduct of the Chlnesa people in this country and by the attitude of the imperial government in their regard.
