CHINESE EXCLUSION.
Senator Squire Thinks the Enforcement
of the Law Is Too Lax.


WASHINGTON, Dec. Ex-senator Squire,
chairman of the subcommittee investi-
eating the immigration question, speak
ing:of the investigation made on the Pa
cific coast, says it was shown that only
5 per cent. of the Chinese who are re-
manded by the courts Of San Francisco,
have been actually returned to China.
This wasi owing in many cases to the
failure OF the arresting parties to iden-
tify the fugitives. To remedy the evil
of the influx Of Chinese over the bound
ary between Washington and the Brit
ish possessions, the senator believes a
more stringent surveillance should be
kept on the line, and better methods
adopted to prevent their coming over.
For this purpose he thinks larger ap-
preparation should be made for the en-
ployment of detectives and other officials
to keep closer scrutiny on the border.
A large number of Chinese seek entrance
into the United States through Puget
Sound. as a convenient and compare
lively sale way of entrance, and to in
tercept them successfully, steam
launches should be employed. The SEN
ator believed the fault lies not so much
in the existing laws as in the methods
OF enforcement employed, and thinks
that before the expiration OF ten years,
the exclusion limit, its provisions
should be extended for another period
of years.

With this number the different ratios
were obtained by taking as the divisor
any proposed number. Each number
was taken from 332 to 375. Trials
were made until number was found
which would give ratio which in ap-
plication would secure each state against
any loss in membership, and in no in
stance leave a major fraction. This
number was found to be 1856; the ratio
was 173,901. The number of members
obtained on an even division was 339.

make 356 was secured by giving another

Preferred Hanging.

SHERBRooKE, Quebec, Dec. l2.-Will-
lam Wallace Blanchard was hanged
here this morning for the murder of
Charles A. Calkins, the 18th Of Novem-
ber, 1889. The execution was per-
formed by Radcliffe, who hanged Bur-
chell. Blanchard was tramp, who be-
came acquainted with Calkins, and they
had carouse in the latter's house, dur
ing which Blanchard produced a re-
volver and boasted his proficiency with
the weapon. Calkins demonstrated and
a scutile ensued, in which the weapon
was discharged, Calkins being instantly
killed. At the trial it came out that
there was no premeditation, but Blanch-
ard asked to be hanged rather than be
imprisoned for life.

FAVORED NATION CLAUSE.
Great Britain Raises 1t in Vain
Against America.

WASHINGTON, Oct. 1I.-[Spcciall-
Dispatches from London assert that
Spain cannot negotiate n reciprocity
treaty with the United States for Cuban
trade without violating the favored
nation clause" in her existing treaties
with other nations. 1t is said at the
state department that this point was
discussed and finally decided in 1891
when Minister Foster negotiated the
reciprocity treaty on the same basis
that Is now proposed; and it is now re-
vlved, not by Spain, but by commercial
interests of Great Brittian for Obvious
purposes.
The United States also has the GA
vored nation clause" in most of her
commercial treaties, but this will not
embarrass the government in necotia-
ton OF reciprocity treaties or arrange
ments with other nations, because the
department. has uniformity held. from
the time of Jefferson to Blaine, that tho
favored nation clause" applies only
where privileges are granted freely and
without consideration. This position
has been sustained by the Supreme
Court
