National Associate. Press. SEITING UP PINS, WasHiNeToN, April 1.--A special correspondent of a New York paper sends the following: ‘‘The report which makes Secretary Folger a candidate for governor of New York sets politicians to wondering what is coming next.” This talk revives the story current at the time of his ap- pointment that it was in order to keep - a desk for Conkling, This report, however, does not obtain gereral credence. The gossip is that Folger has been already sounded and found inclined to regard the project favora- bly in case of an assurance of nom- ination, with the approval of both factions, Those who know him say it has long been his ambition to be governor, and it is said here Cornell can exile himself in any one of the several courts of Europe, if he indi- cates any desire in that direction to Arthur. THE CHINESE BILL, The probabilities regarding the Chinese bill is the principal topic of discussion here. There are all shades of opinions; those inthe best position to know insist that the bill will be signed. The Pacific const members, while they hold out stoutly that this will be the case, are really much ex- ercised over the matter and watch every movement with great anxiety. They admit that the cabinet is against the fiill, but insist that the president will sign it. Attorney General Brew- ster is said to be at work on a docu- ment relative to the bill; if so, it may be inferred that the document is a veto, for Mr, Brewster is rcported as Egl!l'somlly and officially adverse to ibe ill, There will be no cabinet nomina- tions until the Chinese bill is disposed of. The cabinet is cqually divided on the qvestion, Itis ascertained to-day that Attorney General Brewster's opinion isto be presented at thespecial meeting to-morrow: it will state clear- ly that the bill is a direct abrogation of the treaty, and that the president will expressthe opinionthat the treaty should be modified, if at all, in a less summary manner. Itis positive the president will not sign the bill, and 1t 18 thought to depend on the cabinet conference whether he vetoes or al- lows it to become a law without his signature. The Califorma delegation still believe it will be signed. Any ettort to have the bill amended would be Dbitterly opposed in the house, if such effort be possible, THE POTOMAC FLATS, There seems good ground to fear that notwithstandiong the benefit of last summer's experience, the Potomgc flats are to remain unimproved for the present, so much time is being taken up in congress providing for the Mis- sissippi flood and 1its consequences, and yet the river delegations are an- noyed by the failure of the bill to send a commission to the scene of the floods, and fears for the inadequacy of congressional treatment are enter- EAR. question of insanity, but it is not teared from this that final commuta- tion will follow, The Smithsonian_institute has re- ceived from Prof. Forester, of Berlin, the announcement of the discovery by Palisa of the 30th of March of a planet of the twelfth magnitude in 12 honrs and 52 minutes right ascension and 9 degrees and 9 minutes north declina- tion, with a daily motion of three min- utes, It is reported that Lieutenant Bradley, recently ordered from the war department to join his regiment will resign to escape court martial formlleged irregularities in the settle- ment of state claims, Senator Logan walked out to-day.

Puesro, Col., April 2.—Two noto- rious cattlo t hieves, W. T. Phabus and James W. McGreen, were taken from the county jail between 2 ank 3 o'clock a, m. yesterday by sixteen masked men and hanged to a tres on Santa Fe avenue.

National Assoclated Prose, Kaxsas Crry, April 1.—The trial of the train robbors is now progressing at Independence. John Land's full confession is published in the morn- ing papers. The points have all been given heretofore. Dick Little, one of the old James boys’ eang, who has been in the custody of the ofticers for some time, has made a full confession, and told everything connected with the gang and given full details of all their operations since the close of the war. The officers refuse to make the statement public, but it is known that he tells about all who harbored and fed and protected them during their vaids into Missouri. The officers have ail the names, and when known they will create a grand sensation. Other arrests will soon come, unless they have fled. Two will be taken in to-morrow. After the Blue Cut robbery the gang went to the home of the mother of the James boys in Clay county, where a quarrel took place and Jesse James killed Ed Miller, Then they went to Kentucky and stopped with the father of Jeff and Wood Hite. The old man Hite had a young wife, and Dick Little became enamored of her. This led to a quarrel between Wood Hiteand Little, and the for- mer was killed. Wood Hite beirg a cousin of Jesse James, the latter swore vengeance, but Little escaped and through his wife opened negotia- tions with tho authorities to surren- der. He was promised immunity if he would tell and assist in looking up the gang. The first result was the ar- rest and sentence of Jeff Hite to twenty five years in the penitentiary, for which $5,000 reward was paid. Of this reward, it is believed, the officers have given Little 8500. Little is kept closely by the officers. No one has been allowed to interview him.
