The Chinese Exclusion Act.

~-~-s
: The legislation of last year known as
the Geary law requiring the registration
of all Chinese laborers entitled to reside
in the Z nited States and the deportation
of all not complying within the time pre-
scribed, met with much opposition from
Cinnamon in this.country. Acting upon
the advice of eminent counsel that the
law was unconstitutional the great mass
of Chinese lahorers, pending judicial in
quiry as to it's validity, in good faith de-
clined to apply for the certificates re-
quired by its provisions. A test case
upon proceeding by habeas coprus was
brought before the Supreme Court. and
on May 10, 1858 decision was made by
that tribunal sustaining the law 1t is
believed that under the recent amend
ment Of the act extending the time for
registration the Chinese laborers thereto
entitled who desire to reside in this
country will now avail themselves of the
renewed privilege thus afforded of estab-
fishing by lawful procedure their right
to remain, and that thereby the necessity
of enforced deportation may to great
degree be avoided. 1t has devolved
upon the United States Minister at Pc
king as dean of the diplomatic body and

Sweden and Norway, to press upon the
Chinese government reparation for the
recent murder of Swedish missionaries

Relations With Chilli
The veXatiounsus question of socalled
legation asylum for offenders against
the State and it's laws, was presented
anew in Chill by the unauthorized ac-
ton of the late United States minister in
receiving into his official residence two
persons who had just failed in an at
tempt at revolution and against whom
criminal charges were pending growing
out of former abortive disturbance.
The doctrine sof asylum as applied
to this case is not sanctioned by the best
presidents, and when allowed tends to
encourage sedition and strife. Under no
circumstances can the representatives
of this government be permitted under
the ill-defined fiction of extrateritoriality
to interrupt the administration of crimi-
nal justice in the countries ia which
they are interested. A temperate demand
having been made by the Gillian gov
eminent for the correction of this CON
duct in the instance mentioned, the Min
lister was instructed no longer to harbor
the offenders.

gene V. Debs, past grand secretary of the
order. and present editor of the official
organ of the brotherhood, and asked him
whether a certa in interview given public
ity few weeks ago was authorized by
him. The interview set forth the aim and
object of the American Railway Union, of
which Debs is president, and criticised the
Brotherhood of Firemen.
In response to the question Debs said the
interview was authentic. The committee
will report back to the lodge and immedi-
ate action VII be taken. The members
will not express an opinion. but it is quietly
given out that Debs will be expelled from

of the trouble is that many of the very

were adopted during the last few years
