THE MORNING OREGOXIAX, WEDNESDAY, JUNE 28, 1905." CURED BY HIS ORDER President Remedies. Chinese Exclusion Difficulty. NEW SYSTEM WILL BE USED Transfer of Examination of Chinese "Visitors to. Diplomatic and Con sular Service Will Effect a Reform. SEATTLE,- Wash., June 27. (Special.) Chinese newspapers telling of the action of Interior merchants in supporting the "boycott the seaport traders proposed against American goods were received in, Seattle yesterday. All along "Washington, street Chinese merchants and the mem bers of the colony with nothing else to do burled themselves within the pages of Canton and other interior papers. Chinatown was in an ecstasy of excite ment, the news from the Orient creating as much of a stir as the reading of the President's letter. The executive order demanding that Chinese merchants and students be treated fairly was communi cated to all the Chinese in the colony, but the news did not spread with the rapidity that the tale from Canton did. The interior Chinese merchants have voted to sustain any boycott or other action that the merchants in Shanghai, Hongkong. Amoy and other seaports take. That is the gist of the story told in the Chinese vernacular press. The meetings of interior merchants were declared to have, been unanimous in sentiment and enthusiastic in tone. "Chinese merchants say they will not boycott American goods for some time; maybe not for two months," it was vouchsafed at the Wah Yuen Company, and Ah King added: "If the Chinese mer chants and students will be treated as men of other nations there will be no boycott." That is the story they tell at the Quong Tuck Company: what Louis King says and what Chin Tan Indorses. Chin Kee was satisfied with the President's letter as a temporary expedient: he be- : lleved It meant more In the future. In fact that is the sentiment In Chinatown. A revision of the treaties between China and America is anticipated by the local Chinamen, but they have Implicit con fidence In President Roosevelt. Blame Immigration Officers. "The trouble is not with the Cabinet.' cald Chin Kee yesterday. "It lies with" the immigration officers. I have been back to China several times, and every time I have to go to a detention station and lie there until the immigration offi cers are ready to let me go. "Suppose I come back. I am put in a room and all my clothes taken off. A physician looks me over and my clothes are boiled in water. Shoes and hat, are no-good any more. An Olympla Chinese merchant came back a short time ago with his wife. She was treated Just like him by the doctors. She got very much frightened, and when they let her go to Olympia she got sick and died. She died Just because they frightened her so much in the detention-house. See Ah Jim: he's been at Sumas more than two weeks, and the immigration o"fficers know he has the. right certificate. "Chinese coolies will not come to this country now. We do not ask that Chi nese coolies be admitted, but when our merchants and students and their ser vants come here we do not want them put in detention-houses and held there because the Immigration officers are cranky. "President Roosevelt's letter is very good, and I think that the Chinese mer chants will not boycott American goods now. But they want a new treaty, too. The President s letter Is good until a treaty can be made. "We have a tologram saying the Chi nese Consul at San Francisco and thevSlx Comoanles have a cablegram from Shanchal saying that the guild will boycott American- goods if the Chinese are not treated better. They are icry strong, too, and if the President's letter is not obeyed they will boycott Amen can goods: maybe In August." At the Wah Yuon Company the com nlalnt of mistreatment goes further. Ah Jim, the Chinaman held three weeks at Sumas. despite the regularity of his pa pers, is a membor of this firm. Ah Jim's Story. "It is not only the immigration offi cers whom we find fault with." it -was said at the Wah Yuen Company. "We want to be let alone elsewhere. Why can't we be treated like any other for elgner. If we go to the depot or are in a small town we are mistreated. Why Is It? The Chinese are behaving them selves. They are not making trouble. "Our advices from China say that .the merchants there have a strong organlxa tlon. which will resent any treatment not as cooa as that given to other loreign ers. We want to bo Just as good as they arc. If America will allow us to come like they can. we will be .satisfied. We are wllllngto get our certificates, but if they are rlcht we want them accepted We do not want Immigration officers, be cause they are cranky or want to see how much they can do, to stop us." This was stated by a Chinese merchant who has abandoned Chinese dress and who sneaks with almost the same fluency as an American. Ah King added to this statement, saying: "If America is willing to treat our merchants and students without rude ness that is all we ask. The President's letter will satisfy Chinese people If the Immigration officers do as he says. What we are afraid or Is that the immigra tlon officers will obey for a short time and will then go right back and do what they have always done. Local Chinese merchants Insist that the immigration officers have not bothered thorn recently. Their first protest to the Chinese Minister at Washington and the oblect of Chin Gee Hee's visit to the National capital was to prevent repetl Hons of the frequent raids made in Chinatown. All the big merchants agreed yesterday that the immigration officers' attitude hore had been much more satis taotory and they were confident of the future. Boycott Threat Xot Serious. Despite the anxiety shown by big ex porting houses and shipping men ana tne half-satisfied attitude .of Chinatown. Charles H. Baker, promoter of a system of electric railroads in China, Is confident the boycott Is not a serious threat. He said yesterday that he would go on with his preparations as though nothing had happened, and does not believe that any stumbling blocK win be put in his way by the Chinese. Mr. Baker Is associated with prominent Wall-street capitalists, and will be Teady early in the Fall to make a preliminary trip to China. Ho goes East next month to confer with his associates. "As near as I can learn the excitement is not serious." said Mr. Baker. "It seems more like & local crusade. Pos slbly the boycott is being encouraged by other interests; certainly the movement is not as widespread as reports Indicate. "The Chinese have a pretty good basis for protest, but they will not go to the limit of boycotting American wares. Our railroad project has not been threatened, and there is no likelihood that anything will be put in the way of it. Personally I believe the -whole "thin? Trill blow over soon." Mr. Baker will to East to organize his Initial party for the Chinese trip and to confer with the other capitalists inter ested In the electric railway project.

A surprise greeted the people today in the cae of John W. Richards, indicted for murder for the killing of his brother- n-law. SanforJ Skinner, by shooting him In tho back on June 1. and then killing his sister while she pleaded for life and blew her brains out after she had fallen from a mortal wound. The surprise was that Richards be fore trial withdrew his plea of not guilty and pleaded guilty to two In dictments charging him with murder in the second degree. On this plea he was promptly sentenced to a life term in the penitentiary. This course of procedure was taken upon recommendation of the grand Jury who reported that they had received additional evidence in tho case which made it extremely doubtful If it would be possible to convict Richards of murder In the first degree, deeming that he had provocation for the act which would Justify tho Jury in giv ing him a verdict for second-degree murder. The court therefore allowed the first indictment to be withdrawn and the prisoner pleaded guilty and was sontenced. LAND FRAUDS IN IDAHO. Believed That Grand Jury Is Called ! on That Account. BOISE.

Is here to prewnt to the Attorney-General the contention of the combination of rmall stockmen that the law Is being grossly violated In the leasing of state lands to the big stockmen of Eastern Washington. Mr. Kauffman has been retained as attorney by the email stocx owners association, which Is- headed by B. S. Weed, of Ellensburg. 'If the Attorney-General of the state declines to act In the matter," mid Mr. Kauffman today, "we shall adopt some other method of getting the situation Be fore the courts. The enabling act wnicn prohibits the leasing of more than one section to a single person or company Is being grossly violated. Stockmen who have control of railroad lands have had Tom. Dick 3nd Harry lease the Inter vening Motions of state lands and In this way have secured control or wnoie townships which they put under fence for their own benefit. In some cases the lessees have assigned many sections to one firm or individual. In our own county the firm of Babeock & Benson has obtained scores of assignments- and j are holding great tracts of state lands la their own name. T shall lay the matter before the At torney-General. He might proceed to se cure a cancellation of the leases, or I be lieve could maintain an action for tres pass against the lessees or assignees. I am retained by an association or we smaller stockmen of Kittitas and Yakima Counties. We are interested only in the grazing land situation, but I am Informed that the same condition exists cast or us In reference to agricultural lands. I was In Olympla a short time ago to ob tain information to report to my clients and I have now had prepared maps of all the townships In our section of the state which show the exact status of all stale lands." It is understood that if Mr. Kauffman is unsuccessful In securing the co-operation of the Attorney-General, he will bring an action In the Federal courts. The case may take the form of an attempt to set aside the grant to the state of the lands Involved, on the ground that the compact with the Government has been violated by the state In Its Ignoring of the enabling act requirements that not more than one section. of granted lands shall be leased to an Individual.
