SOMETIMES AS GOOD AS THE BEST Comment of Senator Murphy Dur- ing Wednesday's Game. OF THE PLAYERS ae NOTES “This Washington team,"’ remarked Sen- ater Murphy last Wednesday, as he sat in @ private box, “rooting” for New York to win, “remind me of the acrobatic clown at the circus. He {s invariably in the way of some other performer, who is out to vault over the herd of elephants, and occa- sionally he cuts loose and does some of the neatest tricks of the show.” The Senator had as his guest? Senators Hill and Smith, Col. Harvey, Assistant Secretaty McAdoo, Professor Brisbin and Fred May... The en- tire party were anxious to see the New Yorks win, and they frequently encouraged “Tot” Murphy, Westervelt and other mem- bers of the team who pleased them. The Senator's remerk about the Washingtons was suggested by a conversation to the ef- fect that the Washington team can't or won't (gke a commanding position in the league race, but they unexpectedly turn up in the pathway of some of the leading clubs, like Boston, New York and Balti- more, and take a game with apparent ease. One of the umusing features of Wednes- day's game was the horrible failure of big Amos Rusie, in the role of a savior. The score stood 12 to 10 in favor of Washing- ton, and New York had the last inning. Two men were on bases, and two hands out. A hit meant two runs and a tied game. Rusie was sent to bat in place of Wester- velt. As the mountain of Indiana flesh: arose from the players’ bench, the members of the New YorX team howled with delight, and every member of the team sprang for- ward to assist him in selecting @ bat that would strixe the lick that would win the game. Amos smiled confidently at his comrades, with a smile something similar to that one worn by the famous “Casey,’ whom DeWolf Hopper occasionally refers 10 when in company. “He's the boy to “The game is all over “He's dead easy, Amos,’ These were a few of the exclamations of the New York players as the wonderful pitcher advanced tow: the plate. He smiled contemptuously at Umpire Tim Keefe, when the latter called “one strike.” When the second strike was called Amos looked positively frightened, and when the next ball came sailing in the direction of the plate he struck at it wildly and popped up an easy fly to Joyce. It was a clear case of “mighty Rusie has struck out.” 2 A base ball writer for one of the New York papers has just discovered that Mer- cer ts a promising young pitcher, and that Charlie Abbey is a capable outfielder. Wash- ingtonians have been aware of the fact ever since Manager Schmelz introduced us to Mercer, and Abbey gave promise of be- ing a winning ball player during his brief career in this city last season. Washington knows good ball players when they come this way, but they are not always permit- ted to linger here after they develop win- ning qualities. Mercer and Abbey are all right. So are McGuire, Selbach, Cartwright and several other members of the team. It is unjust for local fans to abuse Frank Ward as they do. He is a hard-working, earnest player, and he tries as hard to win as any member of the team. He is not a Star second baseman, but he gets in many timely hits, and he is the best man in the team on the base lines. < In spite of the great (2) work George Te- beau bad beer doing f Cleveland since he won his release from Washington, as soon as McAleer recovered from his’ injuries, “White Wings” was sent to the bench, President Young is to be congratulated upon the selection of Tim Keefe as a mem- ber of the staff of umpires. Tim uses ex- cellent judgment, and best of all, he does not believe in protracted debate between the umpire and the players. Umpire Dan Campbell tcok offense at be- ing guyed by a crowd in Philadelphia, and straightway tendered his resignation. In the meantime McQuaide had been restored to duty, so that when Campbell concluded that he would like to recall his resignation he discovered that it was too late, “Tot” Murphy continues to be @ Taverite with the Washington audiences. He is am- ply qualified for a place on the New York team, for he appears to be one of the most skillful batters they Nave. At feast that wi the way it appeared here. Give the little fellow a chante. *~ Tim O'Keurke dif not Nate mtich trouble in winning his way to the bench. Why. he should have been brought het is a ‘mystery to those whe watened his work with Lo-vis- ville, and also durtng his short stay in thls city. He may be willing, but he does not go about his work like a well-regulated ball player. Surely he is. not an infielder. »: Paul Radford is back in right field and Hasamaear ts doing bench duty for the prese: Paul is hitting the ball timely and is covering right garden with his usual ability. Ev club taat. visite Washiagton h: words of commendation for Jim McGuire, the sturdy catcher of the Senators. This season's work ranks right “up among the leading catchers of the league, and if there are many better men behind the bat than he is they have not shown up here. Jim is catching, batting and throwing better now than at any period in his base hall careér. It is said that his salary {3 among the lest paid to catchers in the league. In appreciation of bis faithful work President Wagner will probably reward him appro- priately when the season is over. Certainly he deserves generous treatm: at. the hands of the home m * one of the most valus team, and he never causes any trouble on or off the field. Ruste and Westervelt the s have a trio of the swiftest pitchers in the Jeague. Meekin is the hard- est man to handle, because there is some- thing in bis delivery that punishes hi catcher more than either Rusie or Wester- velt. There is a perceptible weakness in New York team when Farrell and Doyle are on the bench. If Meekin, Farrell and Doyle should be spirited aw: from the Gt $3 there would be nothing left of their pennant prospects, Poor old Philadelphia is having more than its share of ill luck this season. In addition to losing the cervices of several of its best players, it is deprived of its beautiful home by fire. It is understood that the manage- | ment will sustain a loss of over $7 | irctuding what {t will lose in attendance at the temporary grounds that have been se- | cured to piay out the Jule until their SHPO OPPIOPODOO DODD PCOPOEOSOEESOE PH POOO | own park is again avai It is said that Mike Sullivan might be nore effective In the box if he displayed a | little backbone.

News of the Players. Messrs. Byrne and Hanlon are angry be- cause it was intimated that Brooklyn lost twice to Baltimore Wednesday in order to injure New York’s pennant chances. The charge was absurd. When New York lost on Wednesday, be- cause German's delivery was pounded by the Washingtons, the New York papers spoke of the Giants’ Hstless playing. When they won the next day they were said to have braced up. Funny. In Thursday's game some one called out, “The same old Farrell!” when the duke popped up a foul. Some time later, when Farrell rapped out a double and then fol- lowed it with a single, one of Charley’s friends sarcastically sang out, “The same old Farrel At the Polo Ground, New York, on the four days when games were payed there last week 46,000 spectators were present. Some of the Philadelphians are “souring” on Arthur Irwin’s management. He has not done as well as Harry Wright. How old Sam Wise and Joe Mulvey would fit in at second and short on the local team! The presence of Senators Hill, Smith and Murphy at the New York games was the eccasion for many columns of ridiculous description of their actions. It can be said that they made no such spectacles of them- selves as they were described. Senator Hill's sole recreation is attending a ball game. He is a quiet, but much-in- terested spectator, and his observations are terse and infrequent. Senator Hill used to play ball years ago, and his former partner, John Stanchfield, was pitcher on the Amherst nine while in college, and later of the best amateur team Elmira ever had. On Menday next the Detroit league team and the D, A. C. champions will cross bats on the grounds of the latter club in Detroit. ‘The proceeds of the game will go to Charley Bennett. Bierbauer’s batting lately has been great. He has pot missed a hit or more in the last fourteen games. In these fourteen games he made twenty-nine hits, including six doubles, four triples and one home run, a total of forty-six bases. His batting aver- age for the fourteen games is .490, President Von der Ahe of the Browns re- turned to St. Louis from Louisville. The boss president said. that Second Baseman Quinn, who was spiked in one of the last home games, will join the team at Cincin- nati, Frank Ely, the Browns’ great short top, who went to Girard, Pa., to see his sick’ wife, will also report for duty in Cin- cinnati. The Boston-Philadelphia series resulted in a tie, each club winning six games. Pitchers Quarles and Campfield have been released by Wilkesbarre. Scranton has signed Campfield. Capt. Robinson of the Baltimores. said that his team woud win two out of the three games to be payed with the New Yorks. Arthur Clarkson has been reinstated by the St. Louis Browns. Kleinfelder, the old-time Athletic player, died last week in Philadelphia. ‘Those tweive runs in one inning which the Bostons made off Maul Monday is the single inning record of the year. A peculiar accident occurred during the progress of the game with Providence at Syracuse recently. McCauley, in being put cut at second base, was struck on the head and knocked senseless. He revived in a few minutes, but asked foolish questions, 2ppearing to be somewhat dazed. He would not be ordered out of the game. Hugh Duffy is quite lame with a touch of. charley horse. Pitcher Lucid, who will jofn the Brook- lyns and be experimented with against the Bostons, is not the Lucid who was for a short time on the Pittsburgs’ pay roll. He is aa ex-amateur of Boston, who has lately dene good work for the Haverhills of the Eastern League. NEXT YEAR'S LOCAL TEAM. Probable Composition of Washing- ton’s 1895 Ball Nine, shington correspondent of the Sporti-g Life, who holds an official posi- tion on the local ball club, writes as fol- lows about the probable local team for next year. According to his prediction Washing- ton bas little chance of being anything bet- ter than a tail ender in 1895. He says: “The Wagners and Manager Schmelz are alreedy laying plans for next year. Jim MeGuire will, of course, be the ranking catcher, and it is perfectly safe to predict that Maul, Mercer and Stocksdale will be three of the five or six pitchers with which the next season will be started. Ed. Cart- wrigh’ is sure for first base. Abbey, Sel- bach, Radford and Hasamaear should feel secure if they keep on playing good ball, and Scheibeck, with a little bracing up. ought to make himself solid. Joyce does not seem to be satisfied here, but he has no one to blame but himself if there has been anything disagreeable for him in his con- nection with the team during this season. it is a bet somewhat better than dollars to doughruts that Frank Ward will not re- main here. He has succeeded in making himself very unpopuiar with patrons, not only by his rather tough actions on the field at times, but be second base for ‘shucks Regarding Manager Schmeiz's trip to se- cure more minor league players with which to clirch Washington's grasp on twelfth place, he says: “He shipped the Senatoria! aggregation home from Boston and remain- ed in the wilds of New England to take per- sonal cbservations of the work of several of the more promising youngsters in the New England and Eastern League teams. Mr. Schmelz has a habit of picking up likely youngsters occasionally, and his friends here feel sure he will come back In a few days with the signed contracts of several embryo base bail stars in his inside vest pocket.” DEFEATED IRWIN'S, MEN. use he cannot play Mercer Pliched Well and the Loeat Team Played Good Ball, As yesterday's base ball game was the last one prior to a shert trip to Philadet- phia, where the home team plays today and Monday, the Senatcrs appeared before the spectators in their iridescent away-going uniforms, ard the aspirations of the pen- nant-seeking Philadelphians received a sud- den cheek from thei hands. -The -brilliant- hued crimson caps of the local ciub fairly dazzled the € of the Quakets, so that they could not hit the ball safely more than once an inning—with one exception—and during the whole game only one of the erst- while cripples succeeded ir making the cir- it of the b id crossing the plate. his was big Sam ‘Thompson, who secured first on an error and reached third on another, coming home as Grady hit past ce. ps another of Arthur Irwin's men could get past third during the rest of the game, i very few got even that far. However, was sharp fielding that prevented their it sccring on several uccasions, especially in the ninth inning, when they had men on second and third, and a hit meant two run: Thompson was the first mar up, with the score 4 to 1 for the Senatcrs, but he hit to Ward and was easily thrown out at first. Hallman then stepped up to the plate and cracked out a single. Grady followed him and hit to Ward, giving an excellent chance double p! but Ward fumbled and Hallman reached third safely and Grady lad no trouble in making first. Joe Suili- van sacrificed and Grady ran down to sec- i. ery nerve was strung to its highest ten- mn, and the hearts of the sffectators beat fast, for there was a possibility of tieing the score, or at least coming dangerously ar dobn so. Turner took Carsey’s turn at the bat, and every eye was tiveted on him. The stillness was intense. He hit the ball with terrific force and Hallman and Grady started for the plate, while the hearts of the onlookers sank within them. There were two out, Turner's hit looked good for two or three bases.

Schiebeck, the next man to bat, was sent to is base on balls and preceded Mercer to | the plate, when the young pitcher made his splendid home run drive to left. ‘The game was pretty throughout and akounded in brilliant plays. Mercer gave and was such a puzzle to the hard batters from the city of brotherly love that they secured but seven hits. This was one more than the locals got, but the Senators were fortcnate in bun theirs in the first and seventh innings, and thus won a well-con- tested game. WASHINGTON. 00 oo rung—Washington, 2.

In the fifth inning Schet- beck hit a hard one to left, which, had it not been caught, would certainly have net- ted two bases. Delabanty, however, made @ magnificent run and caught the ball with his very finger tips. The other two outs in this same inning were made by this valua- ble left fielder of the Phillies. Cartwright is a swift runner; for a man of his size it is rerurkable that he can cover the ground so speedily. It is always interesting to see him steal a base, and he very frequently does it successfully. In yesterday's game, just after his rattling two-bagger, he took a big lead off second, and was stealing third when Radford hit the ball. What the result would have been if the ball had not been struck cannot, of course, be known, but many of the fans think that Cartwright would have made his base. Mercer addad to his increasing popularity by bis excellent pitcbing. He held the visitors down to seven hits, and kept them so weli scattered that, with the good sup- port he had, runs Were impossible. His home-run drive was most Uimely, and he was roundly applauded when he finished the circuit, and also at the beginning of the ning wheu he went into pitch.

Many Speeches by Northern Repre- sentatives in Favor of It. Yesterday afterroon patriotic services and a blue ad gray reunion were held in the House. The occasion was the consideration of the Senate amendment in the sundry civil bill making an appropriation for a gov- ernment exhibit at the Atlanta exposition. Several rousing speeches were made in favor of {t by republleans, Mr. Cannon of lilirois leading the way. Gen. Cogswell of Massachusetts, Gen. Sickles of New York, Gen. Grosvenor of Onto, and Mr. Everett of Massachusetts were among the northern men who favored the amendment on patriotic grounds, as tending to cement the bond of union between the north and south. Mr. Bryan of Nebraska and Mr. Lafe Pence of Colorado delivered short but eloquent appeals for the appropriation. Mr. Williams of Mltots, Mr. Dockery of Missouri, and Mr. Snodgrass of Tennessee opposed the amendment. The result of the discussion the adoption of a substitute proposed by Mr, Cannon, appropriating $200,000 for the exhibit. ee The Newark at Cape of Good Hope.

The Local Crews and Their Daily Practice Spins. MEDALS AND TROPHIES An opportunity to witness some boat- racing will be presented during the coming week that promises to exceed in import- ance enything of its kind ever held here. The three large boat clubs of this city have joined together and by their united efforts expect to hold the largest regatta that has ever been held on the Potomac river. The day set for the event is the 18th of this morth, and by that time it is expected that the interest in boating and boat-rac- ing will have reached a high point. The entry books, which will remain open until Tuesday, the 14th of this month, already contain the names of some of the best boat clubs in this section. A committee of three from each of the three clubs constitutes the executive committee of the regatta and all arrangements are perfected by this committee. A meeting of this committee has been called for Monday night at the Potomac club house, where all remaining details will be arranged. For the first time the medals and trophies that are to be presented to the winners of the races will be manufactured in this city. The Evening Star cup, which is emblengtic of the championship of the river, will be contested for by one of the best crews in the country, the crew from the Vesper Boat Club of Philadelphia. This crew will con- sist of Baltz and Ross, the champion dou- bles of America, and Hedley, the champion single sculler of this country, with another of their best men, making a crew that will be hard to beat. The Analostans, the pres- ent holders of the cup, are not expected to enter, and this leaves only the Columbias of this city to defend the cup, as the Po- tomacs do not intend to enter. Details of the Even The entries In the junior eight race con- sist of the Young Americas and the Fair- mounts of Philadelphia, the Potomacs, Co- lumbias and the Analostans of this city. The junior four race will have the Ariels of Baltimore, the Philadelphia Boat Club of Philadelphia, the Columbias and the Analostans of this city. The intermediate eight race will be run by the Fairmounts and Americas of Philadelphia, the Poto- macs of this city and the winner of the junior eight. In the “gig” race the Balti- more Athletic Club of Baltimore, the Cres- cents and the Philadelphia Barge Club, both of Philadeiphia,, will be the starters. The lower course ‘will be the one used. It was thovght at first that the upper course weuld hgve to be used on account of the dredging that was in progress on the lower pert of the river, but ail the stakes that have obstructed the river for the last three months have been removed and the course presents a beautiful smooth appearance. ‘The races will all be started oppesite the Analostan club house with the exception of the eight race, and this will be started one mile and a half down stream and the finish will be opposite the Analostans’ house. All the other. races will be three-fourths of a mile and ‘return while the eights will be a mile and a halt straight away. The upper course is the best in the fact that the spectators have a better view of the river from the shore, and also the excel- Aqueduct bridge would furnish lent place to view the races from. But the lower course has been officially meas ured and laid cff, so that it will be the course used. The steam launch Bartholdi will carry the judges and will also serve as the press boat. Mr. George W. Statzell, commodore of the Schuylkill navy, will’ referee the races and wiil be abv: the launch Bar- tholdi. z The Lecal Crews, The races will begin at 3 o'clock Saturday afternoon, thus affording the clerks in the departments a chance to witness the sport. The follewing are the members who com- pose the executive committee: L. A. Fisch- er, chairman; Cc. Whiting and H. A. Benner of the Analostans; J. T. Bivin, sec- retary; J. Grant and S. A memetz of the Columbias, and J. H. Doy treasurer; J. J. Nowland and N. S. Roulette of the 'Poto- macs. The captains of the local boat clubs have Ureir crews on the river every evening for practice, and some hard work is now being done. The Potomacs take a row from their club house down the river as far as the Long bridge and then turn and row back to the Aqueduct bridge. From the bridge they return to their club house and receive a gcod rub down. The Columblas may be seen issuing frem their house about 6 o'clock every evening and taking a spin up and down the river. All the members of this crew expect to win honors for this city, and are determined to waste no time in pre. ing for the event. The Analostans are to be found on the river every evening. Capt. Fischer has got- ten his men into excellent form, and the ease ard steadiness with which they send their boat along through the water marks them as important factors in all the races that they will enter. The Men Who W ‘The following is the crew that will repre- sent the Potomac Boat Club in the coming races: Von Dachenhausen, first oar; Spur- gear, second; Ball, third; Oliver, fourt » fifth; J. J. Nowland, sixth; W. seventh; Boyle, stroke, and Bar- ain, The Columblas will be represented by the following crew: Johnson, stroke; Clark, first oar; Jaquette, second; Stewart, third: Wells, fourth; Talmadge, fifth; Shicids, sixth; Carter, seventh, and the coxswain, who has not been decided on as yet. The junior four will consist of Ward, stroke; Colburn, third oar; Hecox, second, and Moar, first. The senior four, or as it is more-generaliy known, the “chippie four,” which has been 80 successful during the’ past three years will consist of the following: McGowen, stroke; Mann, third oar; E: n, second, and Blunt, first. The Analostans have not decided on the position of their men as yet, but the fol- lowing aré those that will compose the crew: Mills, Smart, North, Howard, Ross, Perry, Moore, Longstreet, and probably Capt. Fischer as coxswain. A great many entries have already been received for the singles, and an exciting struggle ts sure gto take place for suprem- acy in these races.

Tschiffely, jr., 475 Penna. ave. 4y19-th,s,tud2t Manager. “The American newspapers have been very much at sea in their apparent belief that Li Hung Chang has been degraded by the Emperor of China,” said Philip J. Peirce of Sacramento, who lived a number of years in the flowery kingdom, at the Arlington yesterday. “Being deprived of some mark of exalied rank is not always a sign of sub- stantial disgrace in China. The chances are that Li himself suggested that he be deprived of the yellow jacket, because he allowed the trouble with Japan to reach the dignity of war, when he should have known and been prepared for it beforehand. That sounds funny, but I'll explain. The Chinese regard their emperor as the son of heaven and worship him as such. They believe that he and all who are associatel with him are what an Indian would call ‘great medicine,’ and that they should hgve power to foretell and prepare accordingly for any calamity. The emperor and his advisers take great pains to advance this belief among his sub- jects. Therefore, when the unknowable happens it is the custom for the great men in the empire to assume reproach and dis- grace for their failure to prevent it. Li Hung Chang has frequently done this him- self. When there was a terrible Mood in the Yellow river district he issued a public proclamation, blaming himself for the oc- currence and calling on the emperor to punish him for it. “It is the common custom to show such an assumed humility when catastropnes visit the land. A resident in China, for in- stance, will get an invitation to a funeral of a dead Chinamar. It will be sent by the eldest son and will contain sentence after sentence descriptive of the writer's unfiliai conduct, which caused his parent's death, and calling down condign punishment upon his own head as well as those of his broth- ers. Every time a calamity falls upon the people the high officials immediately over them invariably recommend that they them- selves be punished for the occurrence. The fact, too, that Li Hung Chang immediately upon being divested of the yellow jacket was given greater powers and an increased army shows the real state of the case. The emperor ts too shrewd, however, to dis- grace Li Hung Chang even if te wanted to. .He knows that the Tartar dynasty which he represents is weak and steadily srowing weaker, and that Li Hung Chang could easily consolidate Chinese opposition to the present government, and overthrow it with ease If he only feit'so inclined. T peculiaritics of Chinese customs are so numerous that even one familiar with the people Sometimes gets stumped at some of them. I don’t believe the present war wili be allowed to reach a complete termination, because I am {nciined to think that Euro- pean nations and our own country will in- terfere when the fighting gets hot in earn- est.” “It is seldom that a man is charged with Geliberately maiming himself from a mer- cenery motive,” said Frank Hunter of In- dianapolis at the Riggs House last night, “but David W. Hart of Kansas City will have to answer such an allegation when some suits he has brought against various insurance companies are called for trial. It appears that Hart went to the world’s fair at Chicago last year, and on his way there casually picked up about $150,000 worth of accident insurance policies. While riding on an electric car his foot was cut off. The insurance companies refused to pay the damages agreed upon for loss of a member, basing their declaration upon the charge that Hart had stuck his foot out of the car and deliberately alloweil it to be cut eff*so that he could secure the benefits of his insurance policy. Upon this refusal Hart- brought suits aggregating $70,000 against three leading accident companies, and proposes to file a number of others against smalier concerns, among which are @ number of associations and fraternal bodies.” “Votaries of the shot-cun and the small- bore rifle are having much sport out my way with the squirrels,” said John Little- ford of Montgomery county at the Nation’! this morning. “During the past few years there has been a law in Maryland which prevented the killing of squirrels from January until August, and this protection has served to make the bushy tail rodente of the woods increase in great numbers. Since the Ist of August the slaughter has been gomg merrily on, and bags of from eighteen to twenty-five squirrels to a gun have been frequently chronicled. If Presi- dent Cleveland was to go out in the woods af Montgomery now he would nave a good deal better sport than he had last year, for there are three squirrels now where there Was one then. At this time of year the ani- mals are cutting young hickory nuts and acorns, and pretty soon they will begin on the chestnuts. The best time to hunt squir- reis this season of the year is between sun up and 9 o'clock in the morning, and from 3 o'clock te sundown after dinner. There are going to be a good many quail in Mont- scmery this year in spite of the fact that there were none at all last sea- son, but there will be little use for strangers to go out there and expect to have sport, because nearly every farm is posted now. This was done because the legislature did not pass a law, which sports- men ardently desired, making it illegal to Kill quail in Montgomery county for two years. - Consequently as the law don't give the birds protection enough to insure plentiful coveys the farmers themselves are soing to try to do it by posting their lands and preserving a sufficient number of birds each season to provide flocks for the next.” E — Dentists Elect, Officers, The American Dental Association com- pleted their thirty-fourth annual session at Fort; Monree yesterday.

We may escape many a shaft well fortified with THE CHINESE TREATY. It Was Discussed for Three Hours by the Senate in Executive Sess! The Senate devoted slmost three hours to the consideration of the Chinese treaty in executive session yesterday, and ad- jJourned with the understanding that a vote stculd be taken Monday immediately after the reading cf the journal. The entire ex- ecutive session “was devoted to speeches on, the merits of the treaty, in which Senator Gray, as acting chairman of the committee on foreign relations, led in favor of the rat- ification of the treaty, speaking upon its geneial merits and supporting it upon the srovud of commerciul advantage. Mr. Palmer spoke for the ratification of the treaty, and Mr. Mitchell of Oregon against it. The California Serators took opposing grounds, Mr. Perkins aptagonizing and Mr. White supporting it. Senator White held that the treaty would prove to be a con- firmaticn of the antt-Chinese laws, and he thought that under cxisting circumstances this would prove to be a very important ad- vantage. He said that there were some points in the treaty which he would change, but he thought that these defects could be cured by legislation. He had also been dis- posed to insist that Chinese laborers who should leave this country should return through the same port from which they had taken their departure, but had been sured that under the treat} the Secretary of the Treasury could control this matter by departmeat regulations. With this un- derstanding he would support the treaty, all the other provisions were in accord with existing laws. . Senator Perkins contended that the treaty Was in contravention to the exclusion laws, which had been secured only after twenty years of labor and agitation. The people were, he sald, satisfied with these laws, and are opposed to a change. The treaty mod- ified the laws and would open the gates for an iuflux of Chinese through fraudulent representation under the property and fat ily provisions. He took especial exception to the provision permitting students and other Chinese to Jand in the United States from other countries by simply having their passports vised, and predietet?-that under the operations of this slight requirement Chinese would come into this country at their will through Canada and Mexico. He statec that Mexico had recently entered into a treaty with China whereby a steam- ship line between the two countries was to be subsidized, with the understanding that =) Chinese laborers were to be landed in Mexico each month. Instead of remaining in Mexico and working for 50’ cénts a day in Mexican money the great majority of these laborers would come to the United States, where they could get $1.30 a day in American money.” * ——_§+-@+_____.
