TO KEEP THEN OUT.

That President Cleveland Il now con-
nidering the Chinese problem and has
plan by which the Msngol will be exeiud-
Cd from the Unlted States can new be
stated alsshorllatlvely.
Fer tso weeks psss the Exeeutsve has
been IN eemsultalIen with the members Of
the Pacific Coast delegation and has gain
ed all the information on tho subject that
can possibly be ebtalned. In coajunction
with the report OF Special Agent Chalm-
ers.
With his usual desire to avoid any pub
ileity Of his plaas tIIl they are fully con-
summated, the President has pledged all
persons with whom he has communicated
70 secrecy. The Examiasy correspondent,
however. 10 enabled to present his views as
expressed by himself.
LABoRERs SHOULD Hg EXCLUDED.
The President believes that the laborlng
class Of the Chinese should be excluded
from the country. To his mind the proper
way Of preventing the invasion Is By an
amendment to the treaty with the Chinese
Government which will place on the EN-
peror of China the responsibility OF pre-
vsntlng any Of his aimond-eyed subjects
making an attemptto enter this country.
Mr.. Cleveland ls convinced that the Re-
esriciion Act, through the decision of the
courts, has been rendered imperative, and
fears that any remedial legislation Of .
similar character will be equally so.
From the declaration made by the Cain
ese Mlnister here the Executive IL conf
dent that the Chinese Government will ac-
eept treaty which will effectualIy put q
stop to any further emigration in America.
THE CHINESE GOVERNMENT NOT OPPOSED
The members Of the Chinese Legation
In Washington have frequently declared
that the Emperor of China had no desire
- encourage the departure of his subjects
/ from their native heath.
President Cleveland stands firmly to tbs
| positIcn taken by him In his irst message
70 Congress after his Inauguration.
After discussing the labor question hs
then said awhile we should not discour
| age the immigration of all those who come
to acknowledge allegiance to our Govern
meut and add to ous citizenship, yet as |
measure Of protection to our working
men different rule should prevail con
/ eerning those who ceme, or are brough
to our land, who do not intend to becom,
American citizens, but will injuriousl,
conflict with those who are entitled to per
form our labor"
If NEGOTIATIONS FAIL.
II an amendment to the treaty cannc
be negotiated which will meet the Pres
dent s views he will then send In mess
