Treaties With hChIna-Suceessful Issue O1 the Commissioner Labors.
 1 WASHINGTON, Nov. 26.-At the Cabinet
 meeting to-day Secretary Evarts made the
 official announcement that the United States
 commissioner to China had negotiated two treaties with that country; one in regard to Chinese immigration to the United States and the other relating to commerce between 1 the two countries. Both treaties are signed l and will be sent to the Senate early in De- l cember for ratification. Although no portion 1 of the treaties will be made public until after
 they are acted upon by the Senate, it can be l stated that the President and Secretary Evarts
 are much gratiied at the result of the con- missioner's labor. MT. Evarts expresses the opinion that under the operations of the new immigration treaty there will be no further well grounded cause for complaint from the States on the
 Pacific slope on this score. The general impression appears to be that notwithstanding the fact that much censure was called forth by the action of the Presi
 dent in vetoing the bill restricting Chinese
 immigration, his administration will reserve
 it's full need of credit for disposing of this
 troublesome problem in manner rehecting
 honor upon himself and his constitutional
 advisers and at the same time fully recogni-
 zing the rights and dignity of the Chinese government. It is now conceded that had
 Congress been allowed to attempt the re-
 strlction of the operations of the Burlingame
 treaty 4n the manner contemplated the result
 would have been exceedingly doubtful, and
 the affront thus conveyed to the Chinese
 government would have rendered it utterly
 impossiblein the negotiations of a new treaty
 to have obtained those conditions which are
 absolutely indispensable to the many impor-
 tant American interests involved
