,,rop ,p.,iai totir Hcnaid says: The
.s,,io,, nflhc Chinese exclusion treaty
a.1m prhin Government cancels alsc
I.ltofCourcss signed by the Presi'
.,rog the 18th instant, prohibiting the
o,,ior os Chinese Iaborcrs into the
r,.,J Sui,s. Unless the President
,t,r.tbo Scot, exclusion bill the old or
5s,oiuin,,mus, continue indefinitely.
I'll. r.lon, why China rejected the
n. rrrtod to Minister Denley, and
br nm. cb,cl to the state Department.
rorJr!onllir rcasons, it is not deemed
Ja.ab.oat this time, and pleading the
c,ileniion by the President OF the
Sat,cyclnsion bill, TO make the infOr-
ml,i,u srut from Pckin public. All that
has been made known is that the treaty
Ia. been rejected The facts, however,
o,, NOT State secrets, but are known in
JIpIomatr circles in detail. 1t has been
alI.,ed that the amendments made by
the senate to the treaty rs proposed by
tbe Administration were Objectionable.
Tbey were not, aud the Chinese Minis
ler doubtless speaking by instruction OF
Ms Government, said so in his letter to
tar Secretary OF State last year.
Had il not been for these Amend
meR,s the Chinese Minister would have
exchanged Publications last spring.
They were cablcd ut once to Pekin, but
1niaIiy required that they should
le acted upon officially by the Grand
Council Of the Imperial Government.
T. array the documents in their necessa-
ysrlef and submit all the accompany
ias plpers to the Pekin government ex-
palltoryofthc Senate's action, required
several days.
On the lth OF September the Minister
vas advised that the Scott exclusion
bill hai passed the House unanimously,
and tue probability was it would like
wis pass the Senate. A diplomatic
synopsis Of tie bill and the reasons al
IrgsI for its adoption were cabled both
to pckiu and the Minister. The tenor
1.-THE other bill had also been cabled,
the operation OF which was made condi-
lI1nlI on the ratification OF the treaty.
Neither the Minister nor the Govern
ment could understand the cause for
this unexpected act OF disCOurtesy and
the Minister was at once CablGd TO re-
main in Perm until otherwise ordered,
that the Prkin Government might have
free communication with him. 'The Pc
kin foreign officer was dumbiouuded,
as the Minister when he left Washing
ton understood the United States Gov
eminent and his own was singularly in
acrorl with the object it was desired to
attain. On September Z the Senate, with
only three dissenting votes, not only
agreed to the bill as it passed the House,
but no change whatever was made in
It's wording. Pending Il motion to re-
consider the vote, final action was post
