The Lutheran church party is be incensed at the circulation of this particular view, regarding it as a bit “stagy” and spectacular. The rank and file of the religious party have never taken kindly to the idea of the Kaiser as a pulpiteer, though it is admitted that he preaches quite as well as most doctors of divinity, and aside from the tendency to make too much of the texts that inculcate obedience to the powers that be, he is pretty sound on doctrin Ordinarily he takes a very serious vie: of his functions as a preacher and has had some volumes of his sermons printed that all Germany may profit by them.

It is alleged that the contents of the reply were given out to-day, and that Gérmany requested a clearer statement of the French programme for Moroccan | affairs, suggesting that cach subject be discussed separately, in accordance with the terms of the Madrid convention. Tt is said, also, that should France accept the German programme Germany would abandon the idea of an international con- ference. This, however, is regarded as a surmise. Meanwhile public anxiety regarding eventualities, though somewhat abated, is still intense. The press cortinues to ad- vise patience and confidence in the effort of the French Government, to arrive at a pacific settlement. It is pointed out that the negotiations have' heretofore been conducted in 4 spirit of courtesy and that appearances show that everything is | being_done by both sides to reach an amicable arrangement. BERLIN, June 2.—Chancellor von Bu- low recelved M. Bihourd, the ¥rénch Em- bassador, to-day. The newspapers continue to discuss the situation between Frarce and Germany with heat. The North German Gazette declares that “in Premier Rouvier's note the republic adepts no decided stand fo- ward a conference, and therefore the sit< uation is no clearer.” An attempt is being made to shift the responsibility for the recent war panic | to articles in the British préss, and the Natlonal Zeitung solemmly reminds France that a Franco-German conflict would not be decided by a Trafalgar, but on French or German .attlefields. McCORMICKS GIVE RECEPTION IN PARIS e American Embassador and His Wife Receive Many otables. PARIS, June 25.—American Embassa- dor McCormick and Mrs. McCormick gave their first reception last night in the new American Embassy. The hand- some salops were beautifully decorat- ed with flowers and plants, while the surrounding gardens were jlluminated by electric lights and lanterns. The guests included General Dubo! the personal representative of President Loubet; Premier Rouvier, Minister of the Interior Ilennie, and other members of the French Cabinet. Among the noted diplomats were Baron 'Rosen, newly appointed Russian Embassador to the United States; Prince von Ra- dolin, German Embassador to France; Jules Cambon and the Italian, Spanish, Turkish and other BEmbassadors and Ministers accredited to France. French society was well represented, those of its members present including Prince and Princess.

The officials of the Im- migration Department have been told that no harshness in the adpunistration of the law will for A moment be tolerated, and that any discourtesy shown w Chinése persons by 8ay official of the Government will be cause ior immediate dismissal irom the service. The status of those Chinese entitled freely to enter the United States is primarily deter- mined by the certificate provided “for: under section & of the act of Congress, July 5, 1884. Under this law the diplomatic’ and consular rapresentatives of the United States have, by direction of the President, been instructed, be- tore viseing any certificate, strictly to comply to the requirements of that portion of section 6 which vrovides as follows: “Ana such diplomatic representatives or con- suiar representative whose indorsement 15 8o Tequired is hereby empowered and it shall be his duty, betore indorsing such certificates as | aforesaid, to examine into the truth of the statemcnis set forth in sald certificates, and | it he shall find upon examination that said or any of (he statements therein contain d are untrue it shall be-his duty to refuse to in- dorge the same.' “The certificate thus vised becomes prima facie evidence of the facts set forth therein. The Immigration officlals have now been spe- cifically instructed to accept these certificates, which are not to be upset unless good reason can be shown for so doing. Unfortunately, in the past it has bren found | that otficlals of the Chinese Government have such certificates | | | | | | | | | | recklessly issued thousands of | Which were ot true; and recklessness has also be:n sho! in the past by representatives of the Amer n consular service in \'|ugln‘ | these certificates.

Accordingly, all our diplomatic :and _consular representatives in China are warned to perform this most jm- rtant duty with the utmost care. ks ¥ Y THEODORE ROOSEVELT. METCALF OUTLINES THE LAW. These orders are supplemented by a letter to the President from Secretary Metcalf, setting forth the provisions of the law under which the Bureau of Im- migration operates in relatfon to Chi- nese immigrants and by the new in- structions -fssued, -to immigration of- ficers ' regarding their treatment of Chinese who may come: to the United States. 4 The President and Mr. Metcalf be- lieve that the instructions will insure the Chinese the same fair and courteous treatment that is accorded to people of other nationalities. Seeretary Metcalf's letter to the President and his instruc- tions to the immigration officers fol- low: WASHINGTON, June 24, 1905. The President: Referring to the matter of the entorecement of the Chinese exclusion laws, I have the honor to advise you th have gone thoroughly into the questions raised and that -I find the situation to be as follows: For the purpoge of considering the opera- tion of the exclusion law, Chinese subjeets coming to the United Statés may be arbitra- rily divided into two clasees “irst—Registered Chinese laborers who are returning to the United States within one year after departure therefom. Second—Chinese subjects ‘being merchants. teachers, students or travelers for curiosity or leasure, who are allowed to enter the United tates and to come and go therein of their own free will and are accorded all the rights, privi- leges and fmmunities and exemptions whle? < accorded to the citizens and subjects of the most._favored nation, if In possession of what, for the eake of convenience, 1s generally as a section 8 certificate, unless they h sided as such in the United States and are returning thereto, in which case they may present other evidence than such certificate of_their right to admission. Section 6 of the gct of May 6, 1882, as amended by the act of July 5. 1884, now in force and effect, provides, in effect, that every Chinese person other than a laberer who may | be entitiea by treaty or laws to come within the United States and who shall be abie to eome to the United States shall ' obtain the permission of and be identified as so en- | titled_ by the Chinese Government or other such foreign government of which at the time such Chinese person shall be a subject, in each case to be evidenced by a certificate to | be issued by such government. The law re- | quires that_this certificate shall be in the | English language and shall show such per- | mission, with the name of the permitted per- | in nis-or her praper signature: that the | hall state the individual, family name In full; title or official rank, , height and all peculfarities: former and ‘present occu , when and where | and how long pursued; the place of residence 1 | 80 producing - th of the person to whom the certificate is is- sued. and that such person is entitied by law to come within the United States. DUTIES OF THE CONSULS. 1t the person so certificate inust sta requirements, the nature or character mated value of the business carried on by prior to and at the time of his application as aforesald. If the certificate be sought for the purpose of travel, for curiosity, it must also state whether the applicant intends to pass through or travel within the United States, to- gether with his financial standing in the coun- try from which such certificate is desired. The law further provides as follows: ““The certificate provided for in this act and the identity of the person named therein before such person on board sy o proceed to the United States, be by indorsement of the diplomatic representative of the Unijted States in the foreign country from which such certificate issues, or consular resentatives of the United States at the or place from which the person named In the certificate is about to deparr, and such diplo- matic representative or coneular represeta- tive whose Indorsement is so required {s hereby empowered and it shall be his duty, before in- dorsing such certificate as aforesaid, to examine into tne truth of the statements set forth in said certificate, and, if he ahall find upon ex- amination that said certificate or any of the statements cont therein are untrue, It shall be his duty to refuse to indorse the same. “Such certificate;. yised as aforesald, shall be prima facle evidence of the facts set forth therein, and shall be produced to the collector of custyms of the port in the district in the United States at which the person named in shall arrive, and arterward produced to the proper authoritles of ihe United States when- ever lawfully demanded, and shall be the sole evidence permisgibie on the part of the persons same o establish a right to eniry into the United States, but said certifi- cate may be controveried and the facts therein stated aisproved by the United Statés authori- 2 tie Although neflher the treaty nmor the la make provisions in terms for extension of transit privileges to laborers, such privi s are, as a matwer of fact, accorded Chinese la- berers by regulation of the department. That is to say, exercising the general authority con- terred by law to enact regumtions, the depatt- ment permits Chinése jaborers to pass through the country under suitable restrictions and proper safeguards. No specinc regulation has thus far been decmed necessary in order to extend transit ciieges to the second or exempt class, for son that they are permitted by law to come and go of their owh free will and ac- cord when in posseseion o: the section § cei tificate, HARSH TREATMENT OF EXEMPTS. As to the harsh and unreasonable treatment which, it is sald, has been accorded members of the exempt classes, this much may be said: What are known as Section & certificates were univérsally gccepted and the landing of Chinese subjects possessing them facilitated in every way until it became apparent to the of- ficers of the service that these certificates were being issued by hundreds to Chinese laborers and other persons not entitled to them under the law. In order to administer the Mw it then became necessary to investigate each in- dividual case as by law authorised. It is, of course, possible that the officers of the service. .were overzealous In their efforts to prevent the entry of Chinese laborers on fraudulent certificates. But the fact remains that the source of the trouble was the lax mgthods of Chinese and other official charged with issuing sud vising these certifi- cates. 8o much as to the conditions. As to the remedy, 1 have the honor to récommend that there be Issued to the diplomatie represent tives of the United States in China Instruc- tions that, before they vise certificates, they comply strictly with the requirements of that portion of section 8 which provides as follows: “And such diplomatic _representatives or consular representative whose indorsement is so required is hereby empowered and it shall be ‘his duty before indorsing such certificate as aforesald to examine into the truth of the statements set forth in sald certificate and it he shall find on examization that sald certif- cate or any’of the . statements contained therein are untrue it shall be his duty to re- fuse to indorse same.” In keeping with this suggestion 1 have the honor to advise you that I shall issue instruc- tions' to the officers of the service to facill- tate the landing of al Chineee subjects in pos- session of such certificates. In this connection I Invite your attention to a class of Chinese subjects who are neither laborers on the ome hand nor teachers. students, merchants or travelers on the other—such, for instance, as doctors, lawyers, clergymen, etc. While the department is without authority in the ab- sence of appropriate legislation to extend to members of this latter class the same privi- leges which are now by law extended to teach- ers. students. merchants and travelers, vet it is clearly within the power of the department to extend to them the priyilege of transit, under suitable regulations. ~This the department will early date.

The department holds that the purposes and intent of .the Chinese exclusion laws are to absolutely prevent the coming to the United States of laborers skilled or unskilled. ~The certificate provides for under section 6 of the act of 1884, when vised by the ent of the diplomatic representatives of the United States in the foreign country from which the place from which the persom nam certifieate fs about to depart, is by sal tion 6 made prima facie evidence of the facts set forth therein. * * « You are therefors instructed to accept as evidence of the right of the holders to land certificates vised by the American dipiomatic or comsular representatives when such cer- tificates comply in all material respects with the requirements of the law, unless you have good reason to belleve that any person present- ing such a certificate is not the person to whom eald certificate was fssued or Is not & member of any one of the classes.

NEW YORK, June 25.—To the harsh enforcement of the Chinese exclusion act local Chin ascribe the falling off of the Oriental population of the State. Although no official figures are available, those familiar with condi- tions place the decrease in population at from 2000 to 3000 since the Federal census of 1900. It is said by well- known Chinese that hundreds of their race have been deprived of a right to return to this country after having gnce established themselves here, and that many who are now connected with the boyecott have joined the movement in retaliation for indignities inflicted upon them by the United States in- spectors. Cable messages were received to- day by the merchaats in the Chinese quarter saying that the guilds of deck- handlers and carriers at the Chinese ports had agreed neither to transport nor unload American merchandise.
