CHINESE EXCLUSION
Republican Promise Carried
California for McKinley.
SO SAYS E. J. L1VERNASH
San Francisco Man's ArjjHment for
Stricter Immigration Law In-
t estimation of the Metcalfe
Charges.
WASHINGTON. Jan. 25. When the
foreign affairs committee of the House
resumed Its hearings today, on the sub
ject of the re-enactment of laws prohibit
ing the coming Into this country of Chi
nese, it was informed that if it had not
been understood fully by the people of
the Pacific Coast in the last National
campaign that the Chinese would bo ex
cluded by a Republican Administration
and by a Republican Congress, Cali
fornia's electoral vote would have been
cast for Mr. Bryan. This statement was
by E. J. LIvernash, assistant manager of
the San Francisco Examiner.
In the course of his argument, Mr. LIv
ernash particularly supported the section
of the proposed act which prohibits the
coming of Chinese into this country from
the Philippines or other insular posses
sions of the United States.
Mr. LIvernash insisted that the people
of the Pacific Coast were particularly In
terested because they looked toward
China and toward the Chinese in the
Philippines with apprehension and sus
picion. In reply to an Inquiry as to how
many domiciled residents in the Philip
pines or In Alaska, for instance, could be
prevented from landing in the United
States, Mr. LIvernash stated Incidentally
that "if there ever was an English crown
colony under the American flag, it is
Alaska." There, he asserted, the rights
of American citizens were invaded con
tinually, and protests against such con
ditions were of no avail.
In conclusion Mr. LIvernash asserted
that the breaking down of the Chinese
exclusion law was urged particularly by
the Canadian Pacific Railway and the
Pacific Mail Steamship Company. He
strongly urged the committee not to ac
cept as disinterested the ex parte state
ments of these corporations, which, he
said, were financially Interested in the
immigration of Chinese.
Gorman Gutzstad, one of the represent
atives of the Pacific Coast Anti-Chinese
committee, said that the Chinese come
into competition with American skilled
labor, notwithstanding the popular im
pression to the contrary. In cigar-making,
in shoemaklng and In the manufac
ture of ladles furnishing goods the Chi
nese seriously have undermined white
labor.
The committee adjourned until next
Thursday.
CUBA'S SUGAR INDUSTRY.
Colonel Bliss GhcM the House Com
mittee Some Facts.
WASHINGTON, Jan. 25. Colonel Tasker
Bliss, of the United States Army, detailed
as Collector of Customs at Havana, was
before the ways and means committee to
day concerning Cuban reciprocity. Speak
ing of the condition of the Cuban sugar
industry, he said it was greatly depressed.
The Havana banks were refusing further
credits to the planters, and when this
occurred it was sure evidence of distress
of the plantations. He estimated the sugar
industry of the island at $200,090,000, and
said about three-fourths of the people
were dependent in one way or another
on it.
Colonel Bliss presented tables designed
to show how a tariff readjustment could
throw practically all of the Cuban trade
Into the hands of American producers.
Representative Newlands. of Nevada,
suggested that without our political con
trol of Cuba, there might be servile labor
to, compete with American labor. He
added: "Arc the Cuban people prepared
to come into political relations with the
United States?"
"I think a great majority of the Cubans
are ready to come in," Colonel Bliss re
plied. "As a territory or a state?" asked Mr.
Newlands.
"They would be glad to come In as a
state or a territory, or under the military
authority almost any way In order to
come under the authority of the United
States."
Louis Place, head of the Cuban delega
tion, made an earnest statement contro
verting the claim that the reciprocity
movement was Instigated by the United
States sugar Interests and contending that
the Cubans had. long urged and expected
these concessions. "Cuba is fighting its
own cause on Its own merits," declared
Mr. Place.
CHARGES AGAINST METCALFE.
Conflicting: Testimony Places the
Senate Committee In Quandary.
WASHINGTON, Jan. 25. The subcom
mittee of the Senate committee on pen
sions, which has been engaged for the
past week in making an Investigation into
the charges against General W. S. Met
calfe, who has been nominated for the
ofllco of Pension Agent at Topeka, Kan.,
probably will make a partial report to
the full committee at its meeting" next
Monday.
Tho sub-committee finds itself in some
what of a quandary, because of the con
flicting nature of the testimony. The
conclusion so far reached is that Filipino
prisoners were certainly killed and that
no steps were taken to punish those who
killed them, but that General (then Major)
Metcalfe did not know of the killing until
after it had occurred.
To Desift-nate an Acting? President.
WASHINGTON. Jan. 25. The Senate
committee on judiciary today authorized
a favorable report on Senator Hoar's
joint resolution proposing an amendment

the disability of both the President and
the Vice-President.

Governor of Hawaii, Intimating that the

mors that he .Is about to resign.
An Offer to Gage.
WASHINGTON, Jan. 25. A representa
tive of the Bankers' Trust Company, of
St. Louis, called on Secretary Gage to
day and Indicated that the company

The New Service Rifle.
WASHINGTON. Jan. 25. General Croz
ier. Chief ot Ordnance, has prepared a
paper In regard to the new Springfield
magazine rifle, practically adopted for the
9
Army? in which he gives some Inter
esting sta'tlsxJcs" to show the superiority
of that arm." These figures show, among
other things that the new United States
service rifle has an Initial velocity of 2C00
feet per second, against 200O feet for the
Krag-Jorgensen, 2200 for the Mauser and
2145 for the German .military rifle. Al
though stronger and superior in other re
spects, the new service rifle, including
bayonet and fcabbard, Is lighter than
either of the other arms.
The President's Callers.
WASHINGTON, Jan. 25. Among the
President's callers today was Judge Tach
ereau, a distinguished member of the Su.

REGARDED TOO SERIOUSLY'
No Political Aspect to Prince Hen
ry's Visit.
NEW YORK, Jan. 25. Commenting on
the visit of Prince Henry to the United
States, the Berlin correspondent of the
Tribune says:
Prince Henry's mission to America is
regarded here as a good-natured attempt
of the Emperor to make himself agree
able to a friendly Nation whose power,
wealth and Influence in the world are
steadily increasing. Possibly he remem
bers that the visit of the Grand
Duke Alexis to America left a permanent
Impression and created an amiable prej
udice in favor of Russia, but It is not
probable that he has planned a counter
stroke to offset the English concessions
to America and Lord Salisbury's good
offices in the Spanish War.
Diplomatic opinion here Is that" Prince
Henry's visit is regarded too seriously
at Vienna, Paris and London, and that
the British Government allowed Itself to
be drawn too easily Into making half rev
elation of the Important services "ren
dered to the United States In the critical
period. It is denied strenuously by the
officials that there Is any evidence that
Germany was behind Austria-Hungary in
proposing European Intervention In Cuba.
Tho diplomatic theory here Is that the
German Emperor is not playing a deep
game in having his yacht named by a
fellow sportsman's daughter, with Prince
Henry as a witness.
The Emperor is clearly taking a strong
personal Interest In tho affair and doing
everything possible to dignify the mission.
Prince Henry Is undertaking the mission
with great spirit, and is said to be look
ing forward with great pleasure to meet
ing an old friend, Rear-Admiral Evans.
As the Prince- will visit Harvard Col
lege, it will be a graceful act for the
corporation to confer upon him an hon
orary degree. The Emperor's gift for
the German-American Museum at Har
vard will be a more costly and comprehen
sive exhibit of German art than is gen
erally supposed. It helps to explain tho
royal mission for the yacht launching.1
The Emperor likes to pay compliments
and do things In a handsome way, and
his motives are not necessarily self-interested
nor closely calculated ln the .ap
proaching International" episode.
. ,
THE FRENCH VIEW. ,
Clever Move on Kaiser's Part to Se
cure Good Will of Americans.
NEW YORK, Jan. ' 25. The Paris cor
respondent of the Trlbuno comments upon
the visit of Prince Henry to America, as
follows:
The mission of Prince Henry of Prus
sia to tho United States elicits from
the French press many comments, the
trend of opinion being that It Is a"n ex
ceedingly clever move on the part of the
German Emperor to win the good graces
of the American people and induce them
to enter cordially into his Imperial sys
tem or policy In the far East and South
America. A sort of splder-and-fly motive
Is attributed to the mission, and as to
what may be the final outcome of the lm-
Derlal tmns-Atlnntlr. vnvatri lha ennMn.
eus of opinion here Is thai the Intention
of the Kaiser to establish "a new era of
political friendship between the United
States and Germany will not be realized."
The Temps alludes sarcastically to the
last mission with which Prince Henry was
entrusted when he proceeded to China as
"the mailed fist" to defy the yellow peril.
The Inference to be drawn from the lead
ing article In the Temps is that on the
present -occasion Prince Henry of Prussia
goes forth as the hand of Iron wearing a
"glove 4 velvet to seek what compromise
can be made with the American peril."
The Temps concludes by laying stress on
the zealous rivalry shown by England
and Germany, indeed, by all the powers of
Europe, to win the friendship of the
United States, a rivalry which is deemed
natural, creditable and highly flattering
to the American people.
The papers of both Paris and Berlin
teem with descriptions of anarchist ac
tivity in Chicago owing to the voyage of
Prince Henry.

WASHINGTON. Jan, 25. It was decid

All Parts ot the State.
OMAHA, Jan. 25. One of the heaviest
blizzards ever "experienced In Nebraska
Is raging at seemingly all points in the
state tonight. Reports Indicate that the
loss to livestock will be heavy, as not

tically impossible. All trains due from

clogging .snow which threatened time and
again to prevent further progress of the
trains.

would not agree fo their publication.-" ''
-The-following'is" the1 reply'fronfl Aus
tria: ' ' . kt y
"The British Government has" made no
Inquiry. Should such an Inquiry be made,
Austria's answer would probably be ac
cording to the answers of the other pow
ers." From Gormany came the following re
ply: "We have nothing to add to what was
said to you on Tuesday."
The following was received from St.
Petersburg:
"Should a request for publication be
made by Great Britain, Russia will will
ingly consider the matter. No such re
quest has yet been received."
UNFAIR TO THE COLONIES.
Australasia Complains That Meat
Contracts Go to Argentina.
SYDNEY. N. S. W., Jan. 25. The plac
ing of contracts In Argentina by the
British War Ofllce, to supply meats and
other produce for the troops In South
Africa, has engendered extreme Irritation
throughout Australasia. This action of
the Imperial authorities is regarded as
evidence of reprehensible Indifference to
the claims of the colonies, as ill accord
ing with tho expressions of imperial sol
idarity, ac poor repayment for the sac
rifices of the colonists, and generally as
grave Injustice. Most of the Premiers of
Australasia and the Premier of New Zea
land have cabled to the imperial govern
ment strong protests In practically Iden
tical terms, saying that the two colonies
are able to supoly the War Office require
ments In South Africa three times over.
Both colonies, it is pointed out, have
more meat than customers, and when
they are doing all In their power to build
up and strengthen the Empire, It Is In
comprehensible that trade Is given to for
eigners, especially Argentina, thus bring
ing Into the field a keen competitor with
the people of Australasia. The Premiers
further dtclare that they feel such action
Is wrong, and unfriendly, and that the
blunder should be promptly retrieved.
Prince of Wales at Berlin.
BERLIN, Jan. 25. The Prince of Wales,
who has. come to Berlin to represent King
Edward at the celebration of the anni
versary of the blrh of Emperor William
next Wednesday, was received with great
ceremony on his arrival this evening by
Emperor William, the British Ambassador
and numerous distinguished personages.
The station was filled with a brilliantly
uniformed guard. The Prince and the
Emperor, side by side, passed down the
line of the guard, while the band played
the British anthem. The Emperor and
his royal visitor afterward drove in a
state carriage to the palace, where they
dined with the Imperial family. At Em
peror William's special order, an unusual
number of police occupied the streets.
The crowds, however, were email and
showed little interest.
The Worcester Church Row.
LONDON, Jan. 25. The efforts by ap
peal to the courts to prevent the con
firmation of the election of the Right Rev.
Charles Gore to the bishopric of Worces
ter attract wide attention. It is under
stood that King Edward is deeply inter
ested in the indignant objections to his
nominee, and It is quite prqbable that the
ancient form for the confirmation of pre
lates may be abandoned, thus avoiding
giving ecclesiastical agitators the oppor
tunity of making disturbance. Com
menting on the affair, the Globe says:
"The right of the King to appoint bish
ops of the national church Is too firmly
established to be contested, and In these
days there is no fear of the right Tjelng
abused." ,
Thinks France Is the Sufferer.
LONDON, Jan. 25. The report of the
Isthmian Canal Commission at Washing
ton favoring the acceptance of the offer
of the Panama Canal Company to sell
Its property and rights to the United
States for $10,000,000, causes some com
ment here. The Saturday Review says:
"The Americans cart do one thing to
perfection they can drive a hard bar
gain. The sufferer on thl3 occcaslon is
France, which was completely hood
winked by the American bluff. The PanT
ama" directors have agreed to sell their
rights for 140.000,000, and the United States
will Jump at the proposal. The Amer
icans have made a very good bargain,
better, perhaps, than is seemly in Inter
national dealings."
Ambulance Corps Was Not Neutral.
THE HAGUE, Jam 25. The Minister of
Foreign Affairs, In the first Chamber of
the States General, today said he had
done his utmost to secure the release of
the Dutch Membere of the Red . Cross
Society who are held as prisoners in Cey
lon, but was forced to admit regretfully
that those persons had placed themselves
in an almost Indefensible position by car
rying Boer letters. The fact that these
documents were of no importance did
not alter the violation of strict neutral
ity. The case, the Minister said, was
bound to have an Important bearing upon
the question as to what service a neu
tral ambulance corps might render In fu
ture wars.
Ne Occasion for the Scare.

The Agnews wellkhew they had no

Italian Government has no intention of

A HamliBR, Says Onkhtomsky.
ST. PETERSBURG, Jan. 10.-An Eng
lish newspaper a few days ago printed a
series of alleged secret documents com
municated by a certain Dr. Alexander
Ular, which, If authentic, would tend to
indicate that Russia instigated the "Box
er" movement, concerning Manchuria, or.
rather, that the first draft of It, giving
Russia extensive exclusive rights In Mon
golia and Turkenstan as well, waa pre
pared by LI Hung Chang and the Rus
sians before the Boxer outbreak. The
documents make liberal use of the name
of Prince Oukhtomsky and that of Mr.
Von Grote, who has been engaged in gold
mining- In Mongolia, with the aid of St.
Petersburg capital and American miners
and mining machinery.
"It is a pure humbug and He from be
ginning to end, as far as I know, and
certainly as far as It concerns myself,"
declared Prince Oukhtomsky. "Further
more, the unpreparedness of Russia and
the losses sustained do not indicate the
Russian Government was better informed
about the Boxers than the other pow
ers." Temperance Movement In Russia.
ST. PETERSBURG, Jan. 25. The

The MancliHrlan Treaty. '
PEKIN, Jan. 25. It Is expected that the
Manchurlan treaty will be signed within
a week. Diplomats here do not manifest
much interest in It, as they do not be
lieve any written treaties In the sllghlest
degree affect the policy of Russia in
Manchuria. A separate contract with the
Russo-Chlnese Bank secures to the bank
complete control of the railroads and

night announces that the government has
taken a decided stand In view of the ru
mors of an Impending strike upon dli tne
great railways In Italy. The Cabinet an
nounces that It cannot consider a rail
way strike, affecting, as It does, great
public Interests, In the same category
with a strike of ordinary workers, but
will class such an action as a strike of
public servants as punishable under the
penal code.
While determined not to allow a rail
way strike, the Cabinet recognizes the
right of the working classes to Improve
their own condition, and, therefore, the
government has approached the railroad
companies with a view of obtaining the
desired concessions, which it Is confident
It can do.
