The Oriental Minister Gave His Objections
To the Exclusion Act.

Yin. Minister from China called at the State
Department Thursday after learning that
Congress had passed the Chinese Exclusion
bill and stated to Assistant Secretary Whar-
ton, through interpreter Ho that he desired
90 file protest against the bill. and the
document reached the department that after
noon. In 10 tho Minister states that
be objects TO the bill for three
reasons. First. 10 renews the Scott law
ot 1885, Second 10 depriyes the Chinese
OF the night in laOeas corpus cases. Third,
10 requires tie registration OF Chinese labor
ers which 10 is practically impossible for
them 20 comply with. They must all prove
by white witnesses that they are lawfully
entitled % @ IN the nited States and as
the first exclusion act was passed in 1882
every Chinese must produce before the
Hector OF internal revenue white wit
ness who knew him ten years ago
and who can swear that he was in the United
states at that time The law leaves tho issu-
auce of the certificates Of registration entirely
90 the discretion of the revenue officer, and
provides no way Of compelling HIM 20 do
Justice t. the Cinnamon. He must register
and produce his evidence IN the district
where he resides. HIS white witness may be
three thousand miles away.
The Minister says that these features Of the
bill are 10 direct violation of the treaty of
1850, winch guarantees 10 Chinese labOrers IN

Iectso of the most favored nations. lie further

NEw York. May Tt was ascertained to-
day that a subcommittee, consisting of /. d..
Upper. j. Kennedy Tod and II. c. Bulge,
was appointed at Fridays meeting of tho
Richmond Terminal reorganization commit
Tee ostensibly for the purpose Of
taking energetic steps to induce
the holders of underlying bonds TO

but 1t is generally understood that the sub

pose of drawing up new plan, which will
provide for the levying of an assessment on
