CHINESE PASSPORT SYSTEM.

Certificates Required From All Foreign
ers BY Officials of Flowery Kingdom.
New YORK, June 12.-''The favors
and restrictions that are applied to
Americans in China" was the title of
sermon preached by the Rev. Gilbert
Reid In the Spring Street Presbyterian
Church yesterday. Mr.. Reid, who is
Presby terrain missionary, is in this
country On a furlough alter ten years
work in China. He rehearsed what
has been done in partially throwing
China open to foreigners, the favors
granted and the restrictions imposed.
Then he compared the passports which
foreigners in China must have to the
certificate Cinnamon in this country
are required to have by the Geary law.
He said:
Every foreigner who travels away
from the treaty ports must have a
passport. But there is no distinction
between these passports and what our
government has demanded of the
Chinese. The Chinese passport sys-
tenn is established by the treaty and
must have the seals of both govern
ments. Furthermore, it is required of
all foreigners and not merely Ameri-
cams. If our country required certifi-
Gates of aliens in this country there
could be no complaint, for it would be
exactly like the passport system in
China

ITALY'S PETROLEUM SCHEME.
Government Finds 1t Inexpedient to Esq
tablish the Monopoiy

ROME, June lat is reported that
the government has found that it
would not be expedie.t to adopt the
proposal to establish a monopoly in
petroleum and has therefore aban-
doned al further consideration of the
question Of adding to the revenue by
the esta blishment of such monopoly.
1t is said, however, that in order to
obtain an increased income the govern
ment will substitute a monopoly of
the life and fire insurance business in
place of the proposed petroleum
monopoly.
1t is estimated that the granting of
a monopoly OF the insurance business
of the country VIII add the sum of$lO,-
600, 600 to the revenue. Such
monopoly would seriously affect the
American companies which do an i'm
mense insurance business in Italy.
