nings. Monday Senator Squire of
Washington, made his maiden speech,
which was devoted to discussion of
the Chinese question. In speaking of it
the Washington Post says: 1T was In
all respects a creditable effort, concise,
clear and strong from his standpoint, re-
fiecting credit upon himself and the
state he representa-. There is good tim

ence and nearer the scenes of the prac
teal effects of the Mongolian's presence,
perhaps it would come nearer agreeing
with the senator from Washington.
