many prominent men among his callers
since the announcement was semi-oihci-
ally made that none of the important APP.
pointments were likely to be made until

part of the President, besides il gives
him time to look after some other i'm
portant that are pressing.
There is very marked difference in
the manner in which Republicans and
Democrats here talk of the outlook in
New York. The Democrats invariably
start off with an ''if" which they admit

defeat.for Fasset, and the reports from
private sources which reach here from
New York are constantly adding to the
Republican confidence.
The President has taken hand in the
Chinese question and he has spoken with
the same earnestness which characterize
his instructions to Minister Egan last
week to demand satisfaction from the
Chilianiunta for atlronts offered him as
/ the official representative of the United
States. A Chinaman who recently en-.
tered the United States through Canada
was arrested and ordered deported to
/ China. The British minister because the
Chinaman claimed residence in Canada
requested the President to pardon him
and allow him to return to Canada. To
this the President replied through the
State department "that if this were a
single case it would give this government
by complying with the request, but
there is involved in this case, in my
opinion, the whole question ofthe success
and enforcement of ourexclusion acts. |
have therefore directed the Secretary of
the Treasury to send this man back to
China"
