President Roberts, uf the Pennsylvania
railroad, is a great stickler for discipline.
Some time ago, while on his way to
Harrisburg, the conductor of the train
bowed as be passed without asking to
see his ticket. On coming through the
train again Mr. Roberta touched his arm
and said:
“ W hy did you not ask for my ticket?"
Rather abashed, the conductor replied
that he presumed he had his pass.
“ Do you know who I am?" uext asked
Mr. Roberts.
“ Yes, sir,” replied the conductor; “ yon
»re the president of the road."
“ Granted that 1 am. It is your duty
to allow nobody to ride over this road
without showing a ticket. Always hear
that in mind."
The conductor promised to do so in the
future and passed on. After the next
station had been passed he again eauie
through the train for tickets and, com
ing to Mr. Roberts, stopped and de
manded to s e e his ticket.
"That's right, my man,".said the presi
dent, putting his hand in his breast
pocket. Then he grew red in the face,
and as he felt in pocket after [KX-ket his
face became re d d e r . He had left his
pass at home. The conductor never
moved a muscle of his face, hut stood
with outstretched hand waiting for the
ticket. Mr. Huberts was too proud to
hack ont, ami finally asked in a meek
voice, “ How much is the fare to Harris
burg?" Ou being informed- lie [mid over
the money, which the conductor took
without a smile, giving him a rebate
check good for ten cents.

OBJECTIONS TO THE HIM..
Having referred to some incidents
which 1 deem relevant to the subject, it
remains for me to submit a specific
statement of my objections to the hill
now under consideration. This bill con
sists of two sections, excluding the one
which merely appropriates a sum suffi
cient to carry the act into effect.
The first section provides for the im
mediate coinage uf the silver bullion in
tlie treasury, which represents the eo-
called gain or seigniorage which would
arise from coining all the bullion on
hand, which gain or seigniorage this
sections declares to he $55,156,681. It
directs the money so coined, or certifi
cates issued thereon, shall be used in
payment of public expenditures, and
provides that if the needs of the treas
ury demand it the ¡Secretary of the
Treasury may, in liis discretion, issue
silver certificates in excess of such coin
age, not exceeding the amount of the
seigniorage in said section authorized to
be coined,
,
President sent to
the House the following message vetoing

who have supported this bill would lead
me to approve it if I eould believe the
public good would not he endangered,
and that such action on my part would
be a proper discharge of my official duty.
Inasmuch, however, as I am unable to
satisfy myself that the proposed legisla

conception of the obligations and re

M c C re a ry R e g is t r a t io n A r t s .
W v s iiin g t o n . —When the first mud
dled report of the new Chinese treaty
was published Senators and Represent
atives who favored the restriction of
Chinese immigration took alarm. They
thought it meant the undoing of all that
had been done in the past ten years to
shut out the torrents of Asiatic invasion.
Acting on this idea, many of them
criticised what they understood to be its
provisions, hut now that the text of the
treaty is known there has been some
thing like a revulsion of feeling. It now
appears that the essence of the treaty is
the establishment of reciprocal relations
between the two nations in regard to
prescribing terms on which the people
of one nation may reside in the other,
and for exclusion where either may deem
it wise.
It has long been known that the Chi
nese wanted to remove the stigma of
having her people subjected to exclusion
laws and residence regulations by this
country, to which the people of no other
nation were subjected, and to which
Americans in China were not subjected.
The tiest ell’orts of Chinese diplomacy
have for years lieen directed to securing
the removal of what the Chinese rulers
regarded as an invidious and humiliat
ing distinction. By this treaty till» dis
tinction is removed. By it Chinese and
Americans are placed on the broad level
of equality in respect to exclusion from
or residence in the alien country.
c h in a ’ s
AGREEMENT.
To secure these reciprocal relations
'China has agreed to recognize the pres
ent laws of the United States relating to
Chinese as of full foree and to cease pro
testing against their enforcement.
The President and Secretary (iresham,
on the other hand, to remove the fric
tion between the two nations and pro
mote commercial intercourse (for it is
understood a commercial treaty will fol
low if this one lie ratified), have agreed
to these reciprocal relations. The real
question in the inimlsof many is whether
the game is worth the candle.
Following is the full text of the treaty:
W h e r e a s , On the 17t h day of Novem
ber, A. D. 1880, and of Kwangsii, the
sixth year, tenth moon, fifteenth dav, a
treaty was concluded between the United
States and China for the pur|>OHe of reg
ulating, limiting or suspending the com
ing of Chinese laliorerB to and their res
idence in the United States ; and
W h e r e a s , The government of China,
in view of the antagonism and much-
deprecated and serious disorders to
which the presence of Chinese lalsirers
has given rise in certain parts of the
United States, desires to prohibit th*
emigration of such laborers from China
to the United States; and,
W h e r e t s , The two governments de
sire to co-operate in prohibiting such
emigration and to strengthen in other
ways the Minds of friendship between
the two countries; and,
W h e r e a s , The two governments are
desirous of adopting reciprocal measures
for the better protection of citizens or
subjects of each within the jurisdiction
of the other; now', therefore, the Presi
dent of the United States has appointed
Walter Q. Gresham, Secretary of State
of the United States, as his plenipoten
tiary,and his Imperial Majesty, the K l o
pe ror of China, has appointed Yang Yu,

joint resolution in
troduced by Dolph to abrogate the Clav-
ton-Bulwer treaty reads as follows:
“ Resolved, By the Senate snd House
of Repres-ntatives of the United States
in Congress assembled, that the conven
tion concluded April 19, 1850, and pro
claimed July 6, 1850, between the
United States and Ureat Britain, rela
tive to a ship canal by way of Nicaragua,
Costa Rica, the Mosquito coast, or any
pnrt of Central America, commonly
known as the Clayton-Bulwer treaty, Is
no longer in force.”
Mr. Dolph, speaking upon his resolu
tion, said :
‘ ‘ The introduction of this resolution
does not indicate any opposition on my
part to the Nicaragua canal. On the
the contrary, I am in favor of it. When
ever we have made an attempt to do
anything in this or similar matters this
treaty arises like a buybear to confront
us. The treaty is not in force, and never
has lieen. Great Britain has violated it
lie and again, and I believe that we
ought fiy legislation set it aside and ab
rogate it entirely. Then we can go ahead
with these projects untrammeled by any
conventions of this sort.

to the House a communication from the

the immediate necessity of additional
appropriations for the fiscal vear of 1894
for the expenses of United States Courts
as follows:
Fees of witnesses........................................... $ 200,000
Fees of Jurors...... ............................
50,000
Support of prisoners..................................... 276,000
United States Marshals, the Attorney-
General says, are fearful the Judges will
adjourn the courts unless money is fur
nished for jurors anil witnesses. He also
says there is not a district where a United
States Court is hekl that is not in need
of money for the support of United
States prisoners. The jailers are needy
men. They supply their own money for
food for prisoners and guards in protect
ing them, and they ought to be paid
promptly.

to learn if there was any basis of truth
in the report cabled theUnited States in
regard to a revival fiy Peixoto of the im
perial decrees of 1838 and 1851 relating
to the treatment of foreigners or natives
who set up a revolt. No one here knows
anything aMmt it, and it can be posi
tively said that no decree has ever neen
issued by l’eixoto ordering executions
without the form of a trial. A general
southward movement of the government
troops in the State of Sao Paulo is an
nounced. It is believed the rebels are
retreating. An afternoon paper declares
General Saraiva has lied to Uruguay.
The defeat of General Saigado is con
