Wheel- wright, of the Portland Chamber of Com-~ merce, in the name of that body, has for- warded a letter to the President. In part it is as follows: It is true that the citizens of California, more than thirty years &go, appealed to the general Government for protection agalnst an apparent denger of unknown and therefore possibly overwhelming proportions, and primary legislation to limit Asiatio {mmigra- | tion was enacted In response to that appeal. In those days _the. . Pacific was - very sparsely populated, and there Was terror even in the 1dea of the propinquity of a pation of four hundred milllons- of subjects—a myste- rious peopls, possessed of unknown ibill- ties for evil—even to the fear that by force of overwhelming numbers the standards of Christian and Anglo-Saxon civilization might be overthrown. But experience sincs that time has shown that such fear was without warrant, that the Chinese have no desire to attaln citizenship, that they attempt no part in the administration of affairs, and that they have no Infiuence on our Institutions. Thus it has come to pass, we believe, that the Pacific Coast l6 now no more in favor of their exclusion than the Middle West, the East or the South, and it seems fitting that the commercial bodies of this section of the country should put themselves on record to that effect. By this we do not mean to deny that opposition still exists on this coast to the edmission of Chinese laborers on any term tury are not to be eradicated In a da; t there 1s now much less opposition than ' there was, end public opinion is changing rapidly, under the influence of new conditions and of the stand taken by your administration, so that the time is ripe for renewed discussion of the subject. While the country appreciates the efforts that the Government has recently made to insurs better treatment of the few Chinese that come re, we are convinced that these efforts will not touch the root of the difficulty, and that the negotiation of & new ‘treaty and the en— actment of new laws by Congress are neces- sary to the maintenance of the principles of humanity on which this Government is found- ed, and to the establishment of harmonious re- latlons between the United States and China. It s not only necessary that all immigraats who come here should be humanely and falrly treated, and that all who have a right under existing treaties to admission shall be admit- ted without subjection to harsh and humil- fating treatment, and” that registrdtion pa- pers issued in accordance with treaty stip- ulations In China and vised by American Consuls shall be accepted as final, but we belleve it to be imperative that privileges similar to those enjoyed by the subjects of other nations shall be extended, under sult- able restrictions, to the Chinese The fear that they will exercise a demoraliz- ing influence on our civilization has passed away; their usefulness as patient and intelli- gent laborers, who give a full equivalent for the wages asked, and practically all of whom return sooner or later to their own land, has been demonstrated. They are needed, especially In the undeveloped portions of the country, to do the work that remains un- done becauselthire is an insuffictent supply of laborers to do it, and they are wanted as household servants because the sons and daughters of American laborers aspire to higher ‘positions and are not content to per- form menial service. The objections to their:admission for these purposes come mainly, we belleve, from those laborers who think the standard of wages and the position of the wage-earner will both be lowered by thelr competition, but we submit that the average condition of the laborer in this country has constantly improved and still continues to improve, In epite of an enor- mous immigration of working people from nearly every country ot Europe, and that there is no objection to the admission to Pacific Coast ports of a moderate number of Chinese tha: does not lle with equal force agalinst the entry Into New York, Boston and Phil- adelphla of Itallans, Polés, Slavs, Russians and the inhabitants of Southeastern Europe. Now that the treaty has expired and the negotiations for a new modus vivendl have falled and the Chinese are therefore threaten- ing hostile action, it s easy to see that not op' the Orlental trade Wwill not continue ta grow, but that there is danger of its com- Dlete’ cessation. Moved by all these considerations we re- spectfully urge upon you, Mr. President, the taking of steps toward negotiating & new treaty with Cbina, that shall provide for the removal of the exacting conditions that now attach to the entrance into this country of their merchants, students and . professional men, for the absolute freedom of all Chinese residents of this country to visit their own land and return here_ and for the admission during the next ten years of a number of male Chinese laborers that in any one year shall not exceed one-tenth of one per cent of the population of this country. INTERNATIONL CASE OVER AN INSANE MAN San Quentin Convict Makes Protest Against Fan- cied Wrongs. e SACRAMENTO, July 12.—An insane convict at San Quentin has created ex- citement at Washington, D. C., by ad- dressing a letter to the Uruguayan Minister, in which he charges all man- ner of atrocities against the prison authorities, claiining that he has been sent to that institution an innocent man and that the San Francisco au- thorities, having discovered this, have made arrangemeants with the prison au- thorities to have him killed before his term expires. He claims that when his wife and children came to visit him they were outraged by the guards and by some of the 700 convicts. As he signed an assumed name to the communication, it was taken in earnest by the repre- sentatives of the foreign republic, who referred the matter to the national au- thoritles, who asked Governor Pardee for an_explanation. ‘Warden Tompkins, in replying to the GQovernior's letter, states that the man’s name is Francisco Gardelll, and that he is undoubtedly insane on the sub- Ject of his wife and children, who are in Italy and have never been in Call- fornia. % 3 He states the man is seemingly sane on all other subjects and is a model prisoner or he would have transferred him to an asylum long ago. SAN QUENTIN, July 12.—Francisco Gardelll came here on August 13, 1901, from San Francisco for grand larceny. With good behavior he will be dis- charged on May 13, 190 ‘ ——— A\i’.

Superintendent Platt, Assistant Superintendent Thomas McCaf- frey and rallway engineers who are on the ground will report a plan to relieve the present conditions. They are due to arrive home from the scene to-morrow evening. Adwices recelved from the Colorado Desert indicate that there is much dan- ger that the Salton Sea will damage the Southern Pacific tracks before the flood coming down New River is shut off. Sal- ton Bea is making steady encroachments on the rallroad and the officials of the road are doing their utmost with a large force of men to keep the water under control. The Southern Pacific Company has un- dertaken the financing of the reclamation work. The work projected includes a permanent cement and steel intake and dikes to permanently bar the river even from the territory ordinarily overflowed.

In some points the soldier and the actor have similar experiences. Both are frequently put to test to the full extent of their abilities; both are subject to constant changes and new environments; both are exposed to cli-' mate in peculiar ways. These are not the only points of agreement. Both regard Peruna as the greatest medicine in the world to pre- vent catarrhal allments and to cure ca- tarrhal ills already acquired. The actor and the soldler Peruna’s best friends. Therefore, the Soldier-Actor not only understands the merits of Peruna in military campaign, but the usefulness of Peruna to the one who must stand before the footlights every night and face large and critical audiences. e among Mortimer Kaphan, the Soldler Actor, who organized the Soldiers’ Actor Company which fought In the late anish-American War, writes from 1931 Broadway, New York City: “‘Being subject (o colds and catarrh of the head, | have always resorted to the use of Peruna, which | have never known to fail to accomplish a speedy cure. 1 never go on the road without a bottle of the same.” An Army Officer.

RUSSIANS TO LOCATE IN LOWER CALIFORNIA Option Secured on a Ranch of Thirteen Thousand Acres. SAN DIEGO, July 12—C. P. D. Blu- menthal, who has been negotiating for the Guadelupe ranch in Lower Califor- nia, where it is proposed to establish a Russian colony, arrived in San Diego to- day and this evening left for Los Ange- les. Before leaving he gave out some of the particulars concerning the plans of the colony. An option has been se- cured on the big thirteen-thousand-acre ranch for a period of two years.
