CHINESE EXCLUSION.
The McCreary Substitute Discussed

nlittee.

The McCreary Substitute Discussed
by the House Foreign Affairs Com
n,ittee.
The meeting Of the House committee on
foreign affairs today was devoted wholly
to q discussion Of the McCreary substitute
for the Everett bill to amend and modify
the Geary Chinese registration act. The
substitute proposes to amend section Of
the act of May s. 1882. in three important
particulars. First, 1t extends for a period
of six months from the date Of the passage
OF the bill the time within which Chinese
residents may provide themselves with
certificates Of residence and register; sec
the definition Of the class Of Witnesses by
whom the Chinaman may prove his right
Of residence, and. third. adds the following
definition Of a Chinese laborer:
The word "laborer'' or 'laborers'' when
ever used in this act. or in the act to which
this Is an amendment shall be construed to
mean both skilled and unskilled manual
laborers. including Chinese employed in
mining. fishing. huckstering, peddllng.
laundering. or those engaged In taking,
drying or otherwise preserving she'll or
other nsh Tor home consumption or expor-
tation.
Mr.. Geary proposed an amendment re-
curing that the Chinese should be photo
graphed. the photograph to be attached to
the registration certificate; but no action
WI be taken on the proposition until Tues
oay next. at which time special meeting
will be held. When Mr.. Qeary ofrered the

THE JAPANESE MINT.
Omcial Report of the Director for the
Last Year.

BY way Of novelty in financial reports,
officials Of the Treasury Department have
Just been favored with a Japanese produc-
ton in that line. which has been studied
with curiosity and interest. 1t is the report
of the director Of the imperial mint of ia
pan for the year ending the 31st of the third
month of the twenty-sixth year of Meiji
31st March, 1899. The principal money IN
Japan is silver, though gold is the nominal
standard and the director reports that dur
ing the past year the importation of bullion
was as follows "a "momme' being about
SO grains Troy weight, and a yen" about
sixty-five cents IN our currency): Silver.
105 3l8,O9416 momme; gold, 1.032, 123l8 NOM
me; and nickel. Is, 60. 174. A momme.
The report states that the operations Of
the mint have Considerably increased In
comparison with the last financial year. In
particular. II may be mentioned that the
importation of foreign silver bullion was ex-
ceedingly large, and consequently the coin
age of one-yen pieces in silver was kept
exceedingly busy. The first half Of the finan-
cial year was occupied principally In coming
one-yen silver. while in the latter half of the
year only could the coinage Of nickel and
subsidiary silver be taken up and brought
to completion. This is the only year since
the commencement QS72) in which the COIN
age OF one-yen silver has exceeded u 0O0, 900

NEW YORK, Sept z.-capt. Butler of

Island yesterday and declared that he had
run up to within three miles Of England's
representative in the coming race for the
Americas cup.
he Is positive that II was the vaIkyrie
he saw. for he made out her colors plainly.
1t was between 2 and 8 O'Clock Saturday
afternoon. He was LEO miles of Sandy
Hook when the yacht came in sight She
was doing handsomely I'm the teeth OF q
high wind.
A big storm was coming on and Capt.
Butler was making for port as fast as he
could. The pilot boat did not dare to 80
out near the cutter. for at the moment of
sighting her the storm was about 70 break
II enveloped them before the cutter had a
chance TO signal the pilot boat The wind
rose so furiously that the two boats lost
sight OF each other. Capt. Butler made
direct for the Jersey coast The strange
cutter had TO turn about and fiy before the
storm down the coast a little out to sea-
ward.
A reporter saw the captain late last night.
He said that the storm was so heavy that
he could not make Staten Island until yes
terday afternoon.
There's no telling how far down the
gale took the craft" said he. but from
what saw of the storm and the way the
cutter was behaving i should say that she
would make this port early tomorrow morn
ing"
Nothing Seen THIS Morning.
Although the morning was bright and
clear nothing could be seen from Sandy
Hook or Fire Island Of the British cutter

the early morning hours reported that they
had seen nothing OF the yacht, either from

not be seen this morning. as he took the
