Washington, Dec. 8. The Washing
ton Star prints this afternoon an inter.
view with Wu Ting-iang, the Chinese
minister. concerning the probability OF
the enforcement of the Chinese exclu-
sion law in the Philippines when the
islands shall come under the ontrol Of
the United States.
Wu expresses satisfaction at the APP
preaching conclusion OF the peace me-
gotiations, as peace between the United
States and Spain is thereby insured.
He deprecates war in all its phases,
and believes that all international
differences should be submitted to an
arbitrage tribunal for settlement. Re-
| garding the application Of the Chinese
exclusion law to the Philippines, Mr..
| WI said.
| ~ wish to appeal to the American
people not to enforce the Chinese ex-
\ clusion law in those islands. BY do
ing so great injustice viii. be done
my countrymen. and many opportun-
tiles OF prosperous and happy life will
be denied them. There are a great
many Chinese in the Philippines, and
all OF them are credit to the archi-
pelago. The Chinese population there
is entirely different from that in your
Western countries. In the Philippines
my countiymen are engaged in every
walk Of life. There are innumerable
artisans, farmers. storekeepers, mer.
chants. traders, and, in fact, business
men Of every legitimate character.

Washington, Dec. S.-The Chinese
government through its minister, WI
Ting-fang, has broached to the au-
thorities here the willingness of China
to negotiate an extradition treaty APP
plicable to all criminals; but intended
in particular to reach the highbinders.
The Chinese government believes
the highbinder troubles in this country
operate quite as much against law
abiding Chinese and against the Chi
nese government as against parties to
the secret crimes. Therefore. China
wishes to have such criminals returned
to her domain for trial.

HIS LIFE FOR A CHILD'S
WILLIAM II. WILSON DROWNED
WHILE REsCUING CLARA GIBBS.
She Had Fallen Into the Canal at
Twelfth Street, and Was Saved
Both COlOred.

William H. Wilson, colored paper hang
er. forty-three years old. lost his life yes
terday in an effort to save that of Clara
Gibbs, a seven-year-old colored girl, who
fell into the canal at Twelfth street. The
girl was on her way home from school and
stopped to play on the ice which had re-
manned along the edges of the canal The
ice broke, and she was thrown into the
water.
The child's screams and those of her COM
panions attracted the attention of Wilson,
who was crossing the bridge. He reached
the waters edge just as the girl fioated out
into the deep water beyond his reach. With
out stopping to relieve himself of any of his
clothing he plunged into the icy water and
succeeded in getting hold of the child and
swimming with her to the bank. But he
came out at a point several yards below
where the ice had broken with the girl.
Where he attempted to land with his bur-
den the ice was still intact and extended
out into the canal for about seven or eight
feet from the bank. 1t was this ice that
caused him to drown. He placed the girl on
it and attempted to pull himself up to safe
ty, when it broke and he was again thrown
into the water.
With him went the child but she was not
far from the bank at the time, and Rich
ard Mitchell, colored boy, was able to
reach her before she was carried into the
deep water. She was finally rescued, but
Wilson lost his life. He was evidently
good swimmer, but the water was cold and
he was probably chilled through by the time
he placed the child on the ice. He sank
within twelve feet of the bank and in sight
of half dozen people. who were powerless
to aid him.
Undertakes Whitsett and Willis were no
titled. The former spent an hour trying to
locate the body OF Wilson. but gave 1t UP
when darkness came on. Mr.. Willis and
his men procured boat and graphing
hooks and continued the search. At about
o'clock they found the body about thirty
feet below where it went down. lying close
to the bank under the thin ledge of ice. 1t
was taken out and removed to Willis's
morgue.
Wilson came here a few months ago from
Lima, o., with his wife, but it seemed they
disagreed and, while he lived at 419 West
Twelfth street, she lived at 1876 East Wa
bash street. She heard of the drowning of
her husband and was soon at the morgue.
The child who came so near drowning
lives at 1115 Bright street She was taken
home and, after change of clothing,
seemed none the worse for her experience
in the water.

johnson County Wanted a Man That
Didn't Have to BE Branded.

The Democratic district convention Of the
counties of Marion and Johnson met yester-
day afternoon at the Cleveland clubrooms.
The meeting was short and sweet. The
mayor opened it with q smile at 2:30, and
closed it with the same article at 1880. Ev-
erything went his way and he apparently
received the unanimous Endorsement of his
party for reelection to the district chair
manship. But this unanimity was only
skin deep. In the convention there were
many who were secretly against "the king"
as he is being dubbed, but the opposition did
not develop into open antagonism. The
chief difficulty with the enemies OF the
mayor was their inability to discover a
leader. Johnson county thought it had one
in the person of Judge Buckingham, who is
now on the bench in his county. William
Frelkeld, of Endinburg, came to the con-
vention with fifteen delegates. all solid for
Buckingham. But the judge was coy, and

He estimates the number of children added
