The Chinese Question Again.

The Senate Committee on Foreign Rela-
tions has been considering an important
Chinese treaty, negotiated by the new
Chinese Minister and Secretary Gres-
ham. 1t practically sets aside and
supersedos the Scott exclusion act
and the recently enacted Geary law 1t
is an immigration treaty and provides for
the admittance of Chinese immigrants un-
der restrictions 1t also has for its object
the protection OF Chinese already In this
country. While IL does not repe al
the Geary law, IL Is said to rem
der it nugatory In many particu-
lars. The treaty, although it may
receive the favorable consideration
of a majority OF tho Senate Committee on
Foreign Relations. will have stormy time
in the Senate The Pacific coast and West
ern Senators are already vigorously fight
Ing IL, and they have support from
Eastern senators who have always OPP
posed Chinese immigration and sup
ported the vigorous exclusion laws.
Those who are In favor of the treaty
think IL is absolutely necessary in order to
continue the present friendly neutral rela-
lions with China, and IL is pointed out that
the commerce between this country and
China has grown to largo proportions and
large sums of American money have been
Invested In the Pacific commerce. all Of
which depends largely upon continued
friendly relations with the Chinese Gov
ernment
