 The president has written personal letter te Chairman Wilson on the out come of the tariff battle. It will not be
 made public nor would any reference to it have been allowed had not of some
 Wilson's friends inadvertently disclosed the fact.

 and expresses sympathy and regret for the personal reverse met by Wilson. Representative Pearson, chairman of
 the house committee on enrolled bills, left the capitol at p. m., for the White house, carrying the tariff bill which he will put in possession of the president as early as possible.

 WASHINGTON, Aug. 15.- National
 revenue commissioner, Miller, called on Wilson today on account of the deficit in his bill regarding duty on alcohol. The senate amendment admits alcohol free when used for arts or medicinal compounds. This gives a chance for evadiug the necessary tax. It is thought
 that the house will so arrange that Wilson can amend the deficit at least as
 far as the house is concerned.

 WASHINGTON, Aug. 14.-Te treaty
 with China, which was ratified by the action of the senate, prohibits the con- ing of Chinese laborers to the United States for the next ten years upon the
 conditions specified. This restriction
 is not to apply to the return of such
 laborers as have lawful wives, children
 or parents in this country, or who have property here of the value of S1,000 or debts equal to that amount due them. Departing Chinsmen are to secure be- fore leaving certificate from the col lector of customs of the district from which he leaves, testifying to the fact that he has deposited with the collector a description of his family, property or
 credits. This will entitle him to return to the United States. In case the de- scrlption proves to be false. the right to return shall be forfeited. It is to be exercised within one year, but in excep- tional cases may be extended another year. It is especially agreed that the provisions of this convention shall not affect the rights of Chinese subjects, teachers, students, merchants or travel CTS for curiosity or pleasure, but not laborers coming to the United States and residing therein. To entitie such Chinese subjects to admission they must produce certificate from their govern ment or the government where they last resided and the diplomatic or con- sular representave of the United States in the country or port whence they de- parted. It is also agreed that Chinese laborers shall continue to enjoy the privilege of transit across tho territory of the United States in the course of their journey to and from other coun- tries, subject to such regulation by the government of the United States as may be necessary to prevent such privi- lege ot transit being abused. The sec retary also guarantees to Chinese resi- dents of the United States all the protec- ton afforded to citizens of the most favored nations, except the right to be- come naturalized citizens.
 The Chinese government valves all objection to the requirement of the United States law that Chinese resi- dents shall be registered and, reciproc- ally, this government consents that China shall make the same requirement. of Americans residing in China.
 While tEe treaty is made for period of only ten years, it is provided that it may be extended for another like term of years, unless either country shall give notice six months before the ex- piration of the ten-year limitation of desire to terminate it.
 The treaty now requires tbe ratiica- tion of China, but 1t is presu ned that the minister here is fully empowered by his government to act for it in this matter, and it is said that notifications | will be exchanged in a few days. INDIANAPOLIS, Aug. 15.-The largest
