IsPEcIAL TO THE SENTINEL
WASHINGTON, June Ex-senator Miller
called upon Secretary Frelinghuysen to-
day in relation to the story published IN
some of the Eastern newspapers that the
Chinese Government had formally COM
planned to the President, through the Chi
nese Legation here, Of the enactment OF
the Chinese prohibitory law. The state
ment was also made that the President, in
view Of this complaint, had promised to
recommend to Congress in his next an
nual message to modify the Chinese bill.
Mr., Frelinghuysen told the Senator that
the story was a pure fabrication, no official
complaints having been received from the
Chinese Government, and the President
not having promised to suggest any
changes in the present law. 1.-The most
impudent request 1 have heard of in a
long time" said Senator Miller, sis that
of the Chinese Government to ship 60, 900
Chinese home from Cuba, via New York
and San Francisco. Everybody knows
there are not more than 10000 Chinese in
Cuba, and if they want to go home, why
don't they take the direct route across the
Isthmus and save several thousand miles
travel? Of course the Government re-
fused their request"
II see that the California people are dis
cussing the difficulty of identifying Chi
nese laborers by the form OF a certificate, -
said your correspondent.
THAT is but of little importance" re-
piled Senator Miller only one Chinaman
can come in on a certificate, and it is not
of much importance whether the same re-
turns or a new one comes back. This agi-
tation about certificates is caused by
Democrats, who don't mean to let the dead
Chinese issue rest"
what do you think Of the Democratic
nomination for Governor 2"
at is the best the party could have
made. Stoneman is a much better Ia
than a majority Of his party. And the
other candidates are good men,"
