LELAND STANFORD ANDTHE CHINESE
He Denounccs the Geary Law or Any Sort
of Exclusion.

SAN FRANCISCO, May S.-Some local sur
prise has been caused by Senator stan
ford's denunciation af Chinese exclusion or
restriction and of the Geary law made in
an interview printed here. He said: 1t
is n serious thing TO throw any impedi-
ments in the way of our Chinese trade.
There should never have been a restric-
ton law passed in the first place. and the
Geary law which has followed is an ont
rage We need the Chinese here to work
in our fields, vineyards and orchards and
gather our fruits and do the common labor
of the country.
~Our intelligent business men are not op-
posed to them. Neither are the mechanics,
because the Chinese do not take up the
trades They simply do the commonest
kind of work. and il doing so they do not
really come into competition with white
labor. Congress has made no appropriation
for paying the passage of these people back
to China, and the transportation companies
are not going TO do it for nothing"

TOOK UP ALL HIS TINS,
And Did No Good Those Who Got the
Interviews.


The crush of Office seekers Saturday
probably had the effect of bringing out the
foregoing announcement. 1t was the bard
est day the president Il ad experienced il
his two terms. The rush of the applicants
has been growing greater ever since the
president arrived home from Chicago and
the strain is scid to have ut last become
unbearable Friends of the president said
that in the interests of public business and
his health-as well as the health of the
cabinet members-SOme check should lie
put on personal solicitation of Office. The
president Is understood to have beer 10th
to take such step. but it seems that ne
cessity has finally forced him to do 80.
The Lhrong has been SO great that neither
the president nor his cabinet has had time
to look over endorsements, and thereby APP
pointments have been hindered instead OF
expedited. As a matter of fact 1t Is said
that no good arises from the personal in
terviews of applicants The president and
his cabinet ministers are so overnurdened
with remarks verbally on the subject that
il is a matter of mental and physical i'm
possibility for them to begin to remember
the hundredth part of what is said to them.
Each applicant naturally thinks that he
personally is sure to make favorable i'm
preston. As there are numerous applicants
for every office it can readily be seen that
if this assumption were TACT there would
have to be a considerable increase In the
number of offices available.
The real fact, however, is that the ap-
pointments are made on the basis of the
showing made in the endorsements are
carefully studied in the little time filed
in each case, which endorsements left
after the numerous callers are received
Whenever these endorsements point to any
man as the one for the place, 1t is then
Iaarnal Wis tn make fIrt her
inquiries and perhaps to request him to
come to Washington to see the president,
but in the absence of such request from
the executive ii is safe to say that nothing
is gained by one applicant in thousal i
urging his claims personally and verbally.
