EXAGGERATED PROCLAMATION.
One Is Issued by the Government o
China.

WASHINGTON, July ia letter was
recently received at the state department
from Mr.. DENLY, United States minister
to China, accompanied by a proclama-
ton issued by the Chinese authorities in
which it is stated that the
100000 Chinese who have returned
to China from the United States the past
year would be prevented by law from
again entering this country.
|. Investigation at the treasury de-
partment developed that since 1888
less than 81 600 Chinese have returned to
their native country and the exaggera-
ton of the proclamation Is still more ap-
parent when taken into considerable
with the well known fact that only small
proportion of Chinese leave this country
with the intention OF returning.

timation has been received by this gov

Directory Numerically.
CHICAGO, July 15.-When the national
commission assembled today Commits
sioner Robeck said he had learned that
the local directory had decided to close

motives saying they merely wanted to
benefit the working men. Now as soon
as it is found that the opening did not
pay the directory voted to close. This
showed that they did not care for the
working people and he hoped the com.
mission would adopt a resolution of cen

A Rate war Imminent.

CHICAGO. July 15.-The action of the
'sMonon' yesterday in putting in rates
a little over one cent a mile for the round
trip from Louisville and Indianapolis,
practically knocked the bottom out of
rates all over the Central Traffic associa-
ton territory. 1t is more than probable
that one cent basis will be adopted, and
they may go even lower, but it is doubt
full. From present indications there is no
way in which decentralization of rates
throughout the territory can be avoided.

enough for n contention with the admin

the place of German in the senate. All
the friends that German lost in Chicago
Hill gained, and this gives him sufficient
power in the senate to make himself
quite disagreeable TO the administration
III he desires to do so. The assumption.
however, that he Ia going 60 put on u

shooters in view does not give sufficient
credit to his discretion and skill as a
political wirepuller.
Notwithstanding the bitterness of feel
ing which is provoked by the New York
senatorial fight, it may be depended upon
that Mr.. Hill will not appear in the sen.
ate in the attitude of an open opponent
of the administration. There is good
reason for believing that Mr. Hill will
not only decline TO pose as the leader of
an opposition, but in spite of all the af.
fronts he feels have been put upon him
ho VIII support lle administration III
most matters. Where trouble is looked
for by those who are slsimming over the
surface is with relation to the comfirma-

that Hill will make fight at every op-
