EXCLUSION WAS THE TOPIC PRESIDENT ROOSEVELT AND CAB INET HAVE SERIOUS DISCUS- 8ION OF QUESTION; Seem to be Mora Troubls Over the Administration of the Law Than In the Law Itself. Washington, June 24. Chinese Im migration to this country and the exe- cutlon of the Chinese exclusion laws constituted the principal topic of (lis ussion at yesterday's meeting of the cabinet. It was the last meeting of 1 the cabinet to be held before President Roosevelt shall leavo Washington for the summer. The situation is regarded both by the president and the members of his cab laet as serious. As Secretary Taft phrased It, there seems to be more trouble over the administration of the law than in the law Itself, in fact, he expressed the belief that top much time was spent in developing evidence against Chinese who presumably were entitled to enter the country. The president made It clear at the meeting today that he was determined ' the Chinese should have fair treatment under the law, whenever they applied for admission to this country at any port. He believed this was not only in ' the interest of American manufactur ers and business men, but no more ' than Just to the Chinese. While no definite decision was reach- - d at the meeting, It wa3 the gen erally expressed opinion that the amic able diplomatic and trade relations Which this country has always main- ' tatned with China should be continued If possible. To this end Secrtary Hay will take action on behalf of this coun try. The report that the commercial -guilds of China have entered Into a hard and fast agreement to boycott American-made goods has had a dis turbing effect on American producers Interested In tfie China trade. It will be the effort of this government to en deavor to correct any misrepresenta tion that may exist In China as to the too harsh enforcement of the Chinese exclusion laws. There is no disposi tion to exclude from the country any of the classes of Chinese who are ex- -empt from the operation of the exclu sion law. Secretary Metcalf of the department -of commerce and labor, who has direct .upervislon of the Immigration bureau, -does not believe that unnecessary 1 harshness Is used In the enforcement of the law, but Is investigating the subject with a view to correcting any evils of administration that may be de veloped. He pointed out at the cabinet meeting that the United States' trade with China in cotton goods alone for the ton months of the present fiscal year had aggregated $21,000,000 as against $3,000,000 for the previous fis cal year. He hoped this trade would not be disturbed through any misunder standing and expressed the belief that It would not be. All the members of ' the cabinet were present at the meet- ' Ing. It was the last cabinet meeting probably which Secretary Morton will attend as he expects formally to sever its connection with tho administration m the 80th instant. Acute Rheumatism.
