GRESHAM Is ANXIOUS.
To Perfect the Chinese Treaty BE.
fore Retirement,

WASHINGTON. March 24.-Touching
the new treaty which has been neg oii-
ated between the government of this
country and China, it is learned that
for several years past the Chinese
government has been earnestly pressing
upon our government the desirability
OF such an agreement, and has repre-
scented that while the Chinese empire
was DESTROYS of maintaining friendly
relations with the United States, it
would be difficult to do SO in the present
spirit OF the Chinese. if some concession
was not made. 1t has also complained
that the Scott and Geary laws were in
contraventlon of the treaties heretofore
negotiated.
The present treaty is generally con-
Sidered as the forerunner of COM
merclal treaty, the draft of which is
believed to have been made and for
Warded to China for inspection of the
Chinese government. Secretary Gresh-
am Is known to be anxious To signalize
his administration of the state depart
ment by perfecting an agreement which
Will Increase the commercial interests
of the United States in the Chinese
empire, but has found the existing laws
concerning the Chinese to act as
barrier To proceedings in this direction.
and it is inferred from the few intima-
lions that have been received that the
Chinese government is inclined to make
the ratification of the immigration
committee condition in the Chinese
acceptance OF the commercial treaty.
which is still in suspense. 1t is known
that Mr.. Gresham has been in confer
ence with members of the senate upou
the entlrt chinese question. He spent
three hours with the committee on
foreign relations discussing the ques-
ton Anew weeks ago. 1t is presumed
that ne gave the committee full infOrma-
ton as to his plans. and stated the
dlflcultles IN the way of securing an
extension OF commercial relations with :
out modification of the immigration
laws or mutual understanding on this
question.
Senator Morgan. chairman of the
foreign relations committee, IS believed
to coincide with Mr.. Gresham as to the
Importance of freer commercial inter-
course between the two countries,
but he is suspected of entertain
ing the opinion that very little can
be done in that direction as long as
this country insists upon maintaining
the gold standard. China being silver
using country, he seems Inclined to the
opinion that it this country would
control the trade of China. it should
recognize their currency in a more SUBJ
Stantial way than at present.

ATHLETIC SUGGESTIONS.
Whitley Has Scheme for AtE.
letic Success

IetiC success.
Frank P. Whitley sends communi-
cation to the GLOBE that has many
commendable suggestions, The idea of
field day is worthy of serious thought,
and Mr.. Whitey's way of handling the
matter of an athletic club is sensible.
The letter is as follows:
From all outward appearances the
efforts to organize a. firSt-class athletic
club to succeed the defunct Phoenix are
getting along very slowly. 1t Is very
surprising that great city like St.Paul
should be without a respectable athletic
club, and still more surprising that
such laudabe work should receive
the little attention it does from the bust
ness men of the city. The work of re-
organizing and resurrectihg the old
club has been taken up by few Of the
old members, not because there is any
money i'll it. but because there is an alb
solute need of a gymnasium. There
are said to be more athletes in st. Paul
size in tile country; there are
runners. walkers, jumpers, wrestlers
and experts III all other branches
of athletics by the dozen, and there is
no earthly reason why there should not
be lrSt-claoS gymnasium maintained.
Why, only the other day, | read an
article iii your paper giving an account
of games in Window. Mimi, little
town out in the country, but the pro-
gramme was about as good as ever
given i'll st. Paul. 1t also stated that
the races took place on a twenty-eight
lap track. From this 1 draw the infer
ence that it is permanent course
belonging to their club-even Window
iy han Ia, .,
enough for warming up, and propose
the following remedy for the lack of
interest in athletics:
would advise the officers and mem
bers of the st. Paul Athletic club to
hold great field day early in the sum
mer-every contest TO be for the cham
pIonship of the Northwest and suitable
medals. and all strictly amateur. 1t
must be understood that it would be no
affair such as held at Wildwood last
year, but a regulation field day, consist
ing of all the various branches of ath-
letlcS such as are given in the East-rec
ords and time taken and recorded. Sup
pose the club should act on the
above outlined plan and would
choose the state fair grounds for the
event, the attendance would no doubt
be large enough to pay for fine medals
and all other expenses and leave
enough to serve as d nucleus to fund,
the purposes of which would be to Or
ganiZe the best club in the Northwest.
which will not be subject to the Whims
of one man. If the field day should
take place at the fair grounds at least
5000 people would pay so cents apiece
to witness the games; this would net
81, 500. Allowing $500 for expenses
there would be $4,000 lett, which would
go long way towards reducing the
high dues it is thought will be neces-
sary to maintain the club. Truly yours.

FOLEY GETS THERE.
Makes 200 to $50 Billiards for

Again has I. p. Foley verified the
expectations of his friends. In the
tournament game last night at the
Hotel metropolitan billiard room there
was an apprcclative audience gathered
to witness the contest between Foley
and Glaskin. Foley entered at 200 and
GlaSkin at $50. 1t was a pretty game
from start TO finish, and developed some
surprises. Giaskin took the lead. and
when the game was more than half over
1t looked like walkaway for him
Here it was that Foley took a
squirt Glaskin at the time was Al
points ahead. Foley did some very
efficient work, and made four
doubles that decided which way the
wind was blowing. The buttons
punched up on the wire with such runs

double of y also. and another of 10.
