Are Much Opposed to 1t.
WASHINGTON, Jan. 3O.-John Russell
Young, eX-:linister to China, says there is
no room for trouble between the United
States and China over the Chinese restric-
ton laws passed by congress. for-the rea-
son that the Chinese government is as
much opposed to the emigration of Chinese
as it Is possible foe any other country to be
Therefore he cannot understand China's
rejection of Blair as minister because he
had spoken against Chinese immigration
Favors Trade With China.
Mr.. Young thinks that rather than
waste or energies III the poverty
stricken countries of South America
we should awake to the fact that we are
the nearest neighbor of the most populous,
the oldest and perhaps most richest
country in the world. and that in gener-
Gus commercial policy lies the slender and
power of our Pacific states. This would
furnish a diplomatic relation worthy Of
our highest genius. Mr.. Young added
that be had tried to impress this idea upon
both BayaCd and Blaine in times past, but
owing TO various domestic political CON
Siderations it had been ignored.

The Minority Not Kicking.
The three dissenting members of the
committee gave their adhesion to the
policy Of the majority of their associates
on the committee and will act with
them, thus making the Democratic part of
the ways and means committee unit on
the policy which it was decided to adopt
Nothing was said about which particular
feature Of the present law should be first
attacked, and this viii be left to future
determination.
Long Discussion of the Subject.
After there had been a lengthy discus
sion, in which the members Of the commit
tee in former congresses expressed their
opinion in favor OF general tariff revision
bill, and Springer and his associates argued
that the proper method of procedure was
by attacking the tariff law in detail, Bryan
of Nebraska offered resolution declaring
it to be the sense of the Democratic mem
bers Of the committee that its policy with
regard to tariff legislation in the Fifty-sec-
ond congress should be one of revision by
separate measures instead of a general re
vision Of the whole system.
The Note in Detail.
This motion was carried by a vote of
tO3. Those voting in favor of IL were
Montgomery, Whiting. Shiveley, Coch-
ran, Stevens. Bryan and Springer. the
new members of the committee The
negative woes were cast by McMillin,
Turner and Wilson, who were members of
the committee in previous congresses.
The general policy having been deter
mined upon, all the members present
agreed to abide by the conclusion reached
