Chinese Excluded From the Philippines

WASHINGTON, Aug. 24.-The state de-
partment has been informed through a
diplomatic channel that Gen. Otis has
applied the Chinese exclusion law to
the Philippines. The information was
surprise to the authorities, both
state and military, as the matter has
been under consideration for some
time, and it was not known that Gen.
Otis had put the exclusion law into
force. The state department does not
apprehcnd that any international COM
plications will arise ou: of Gen. Otis
course in excluding Chinese from the
Philippines, as this is said to be only
temporary military expcdient, leaving
the general question TO be determined
by congress.

beat the bush for miles and chase all

There were not SO many of them, for
one thing, and that in itself gave them
feeling of exclusiveness. But Thack-
eray's complete works for 1899 rapidly
abolished the aristocracy. Artificial
barriers do not long count for much
with q great writer. You no doubt
very soon found out that in certain
moods there was nothing more salts
flying to you than 'Pendennis,' and at
another time the best novel that you
ever read was David Copperfeld.' I
have no doubt that in the long run deep
in your heart you will cherish finer
affection for the one than the other.
That is a matter of temperament and
your surroundings. The one you like
best fits best into your life as you are
making it. You will discover that a
change Of scene or occupation often
brings you into sympathy with q
writer whom you never before appre-
ciated. A great sorrow will sometimes
reveal George Eliot to you; a little
journey in England will show you new
beauties in Trollope; a wave Of war
feeling in Europe and people begin re-
reading Tolstoi's War and Peace"
