A Chinese restriction bill, provid-
ing for restriction in its broadcast
sense, had been passed This was
prepared by the Administration or
under its auspices, and was hurried
through Congress by the influence
of President Cleveland. The os-
tensib!e cause of this was a rumor
which reached Washington by cable
from England that the Emperor of
China had refused TO sign the new
treaty, but the Republicans declare
it to have been merely n political
move to influence the elections. AS
q matter of fact, however, the EN-
peror had not signed the treaty up
to the date of the latest cable adj
vices from Pekin, although he had
not positively decided not to sign
it. The question had been formally
postponed for further consideration.
This course has no doubt been in
duced by the demand of certain
British Colonies that England should
seek to make treaty with China on
the same lines.
