CHINESE EXCLUDED.
Gen. otis Reported Action in the
Philippines.


Washington, Aug 23.-Tbe state de-
partment has Teen informed through Il
diplomatic channel that Gen Otis has
applied the Chinese exclusion laws to
the Philippines, the information was Il
surprise t. the authorities here, both
state and III litary, AS the matter has
been under consideration for some mc,
and it was not known that Ger Otis
had put the exclusion laws into force
The first ntimation in that direction
came in dispatch rect we'd few days
ago from the Chinese CONSUL AT Manila,
telling the Chinese Legislation here that
the exclusion laws against Chinese had
been applied TO the Philippines The
i'patch was brought TO the attention
of the state department and an inquiry
made as 10 how the action was brought
about, as the Chinese govern ment has
been most solicitOus since American
military control was established in the
Philippines that the United States ex-
clusion laws should not he extended
over the islands. The state department
knew nothing of such an extension, and
made inquiry OF the war department.
The military authorities, however, were
equally without information as To Gen,
Ots's course in this particular
Accordingly the Chinese officials were
advised that ANY action ,aken 10y Gen
OTIS in apply Jag The exclusion laws Ia
the Philippines was not the result OF
instruction sent from here, but was
doubtless due to an exercise of his au-
thorlty as COVE nor. general of the Phil.
ippines. What further step the Chinese
authorities will take has not been deter
mined, as Minister WI Ting Fang Is
out of the city for few days. 1nere
is little doubt, however, that he will
seek to have Gen. Otis's order held in
abeyonce until the authorities here pas,
on the general question which has been
under consideration between the two
governments.
FILIPINOS 30 NOT WANT THEM
la this connection the state department.
has received an important letter from
Mr. Williams, our former consul
- ManlA, who still remains
there in confidential capacity. lie
says the native FlIipinos are 5 roDg y
opposed To Chinese labor, and in his
opinion the exclusion OF the Chinese
from the islands won ld mate 'ialy aid
in bringing the war 10 u close. lie
places the Chinese population at 81 600,
which is considerably more than other
estin ties from Official sources The
letter is dated July 2G, and brings the
situation up 10 recent date. 1t has been
turned over TO The war department To
to be used in the general consideration
OF the exclusion question.
The Chinese government has shown
more anxiety as 10 the course of this

The Globe Democrat.
President Schurman, OF the Philip
pines commission, talked for four hours
Saturday to correspondent Of the
Globe-Democrat. This distinguished
scholar has made an exhaustive study,
not only of the Philippine question and
all of its related problems, but also Of
Chinese situation, commercially and
politically.
While Prof. Schurman would not
discuss the war or tell the conclusions
he has reached, he talked fully and
freely on subjects which are outside
and yet part of his mission. On these
points the following is a summary Of
his views:
"The re bellion is not Philippine re-
belion; it is Tagalog rebellion. The
rebellion does not even embrace all Of
the Island Of Luzon.

the capital Of the Island Of Cebu, and
he told me he did not want To light.
I'VE want our rice, he said, and
that's all we want. We do not want

by his rice he meant that the supply
of rice to the island had been cut of by
the rebellion of the Tagalogs.
when the Tagalogs reached the
island of Negros, To foment rebellion
and TO make Luzon, the natives OF
Negros would not let them remain there.

wooL-eRowERs' MEETING.
Captain ormsby Meets with the AssocIa-
tion-Rapge to be Allotted
in severaIty.

Captain Ormsby arrived in the city on
last evenings train and met large
number of the mem bers of the Wool
growers Association last night at
meeting at the Umatilla House, who
were anxious to receive ali the 1nstruc :
tion and benefit possible from the spe-
cial forestry agent of the department of
the interior. The captain was also
anxious to hear the opinion of the differ
ent stock men in regard to the best plan
to regulate the summer grazing of sheep
in the Cascade Reserve.
Among other things Mr.. Ormsby in
formed them that it had been decided to
allot the range in eeveralty,, allowing
each owner so much grazing land. AL
though the rental had not yet been de-
termined, it would probably be about
one cent head.
The matter of length of time for the
lease then came up and was discussed
pro and con, some deeming five years
too short lease and others holding to
that limit as sufficient. The majority,
however, held to the latter opinion.
The question of allotting territory is
to be left entirely with the superintend-
ent. However. the opinion of those
present was solicited and none seemed
back ward in speaking on the subject. A
motion was finally made by F. W. Will
son, that those who occupied territory
last year be given preference in obtain
ing the respective portions again during
the coming summer. A vote being taken
all seemed to favor the method.
| Captain Ormsby informed thef sheep
men that he could promise nothing
definite, the department, of course, hav-
ing entire control of the matter. How
ever, he will do all in yhis power for the
interest of the stockmen.
Great interest was manifested by all
present, and the entire meeting of the
association was greatly satisfactory. to
the etocS men, who feel more settled in
regard to the much-talked-of question.
At the close of the meeting vote oi
thanks was extended to the CONNER
cial Club and the proprietors of the
Umatilla House for the use of their
rooms IN which to hold the meetings.
