The Photograph Clause of
the Geary Law
MAY PREVENTIVE COVETED TREATY
The Chinese Envoy Believes This
Clause to BE an Insult TO His EN-
peror and His Race-May Have to
Pay Ex-Queen LII Damages.
Bu Ths Associated Press.


WASHINGTON, Jan. 17.--There Is reason
to believe that Yang Yu, the Chinese en-
voy in Washington, is not making much
progress towards securing the new treaty,
which was to take the place OF the one
considered nullified by the Geary law.
Upon his first arrival here 1t
was hoped that the United States
was about to be offered oppor-
tunities for valuable extension OF
our trade privileges in China. Expecta-
tion of this seems to have been based on
inferences drawn from the Chinese en-
voy's talk. His idea on the immigration
question rejecting accurately it is sup
posed, those of his own government were
SO entirely in accord with those of our
own people that 1t was believed this
ublesome question would not prove an
obstruction TO new agreement.
The compulsory photograph clause of
the Geary law Is the stumbling block. To
compel Chinaman to be photographed,
he considers an indignity. 1t is said to be
the belief OF the Chinese envoy that these
requirements were inserted with intent to
affront the Chinese residents OF this coun-
try. He considers that his sovereign is
affronted in the same degree.
This may prove an unsurmountable
obstacle to the agreement for treaty
from which, few weeks ago, much was
hoped for the good of our trade privileges
in the rich Oriental fields OF the Chinese
empire

TERMINAL FACILITIES.
The Business Men of Providence
Now Thoroughly Aroused.
They Meet This Afternoon TO Adopt an
Aggressive Line OF Action Regarding
the Bristol Depot.

The meeting of the special committee OF
the six business mems associations this
afternoon, at the rooms of the Rhode Is
land association, will be attended by
80 gentlemen who will discuss
some definite and aggressive line
OF action in relation to the Bristol ter
minal extension. They will effect an
organization, and it is proposed to APP
point o subcommittee OF five, which
will inquire carefully into the legisla-
tion whereby the Consolidated obtained
amendments to its charter and grants and
franchises In which the interests OF the
Bristol road were involved. The object OF
this investigation is to ascertain IL there
is any loophole whereby pressure can be
brought to bear upon the corporation to
conform to its agreements and pledges.
Bridge Not Feasible.
The prosition to bridge the river from
Fox Point to Harbor Junction is not re-
imposes an obstruction to naviga-
tion and the limitations of the
harbor are sufficiently prescribed at pres
ent. The location of another bridge in
such close proximity to the Point street
draw would meet with the opposition of
shippers and coastwise tradesmen, and
would tend to restrict and complicate
compliance with the port regulations as
to anchorage and right of way of steam
ers, tugs and sailing vessels. Should
this remedy be adopted an interval of
year or more would intervene before
the construction of the bridge,
and immediate relief is urgently demanded
by the Bristol county citizens even II the
terminal reaches no further than Craw-
ford street bridge.
No Hope of Compromise.
IL Is reported that an agent of the Con-
solidated has been negotiating for the pur-
chase OF an electric motor in Pittsburgh,
but President Clark's latest communica-
tion holds out nothing in the nature
of concession or compromise. A concerted
movement by such organizations as the
board of trnde, Commercial club, Advance
club, Bristol county terminal committee
and the Rhode Island Business Mems
association should be productive of SUBJ
stantiai results.
