AS TO CHINESE EXCLUSION.
Philippine Commission Will Make
Report On the Subject.

Washington, Nov. 13.-Whether Chi
nese exclusion should be applied TO the
Philippines is among the subjects en-
gaging the attention of the Philippine
commission. Cons. .derable evidence
bearing on the matter has been collect
ed and besides presenting this testi-
mony with their full report, it is expect
ed a recommendation will have consid-
erable influence in shaping the course
of this government and the action of
congress.
1t is understood two members of the
commission, Messrs. DENLY and Wor-
oester, have expressed themselves as
favorable to an application of the Chi
neSe exclusion act to the Philippines.
From the fact that General Otis has
issued an order for Chinese exclusion,
it is assumed that his voice, as a MEM
ber of the commission, also would be
for Chinese exclusion in the Philip
pines. The position of Admiral Dewey,
however, is understood to be favorable
to Chinese admission. While this per-
sonal view of the admiral has been ex-
pressed to friends, it is not known
whether he would give it official ex-
preston in case all his colleagues on
the commission favored a recommenda-
tion of exclusion The attitude of Pres
ident Schurmann has not been made
known even in an informal way.
The exclusion question is involved to
some extent with the inquiries which
the United States is now making of
other powers as to the maintenance of
an open door policy in China. 1t was
stated today in an authoritative diplo-
matte quarter that in case the United
States adopts a permanent policy of
Chinese exclusion in the Philippines,
there is little doubt such a course would
cause China to be less friendly in her
cooperation with the plans of the
United States 10 extend our trade in
the empire.

BoERs PUSHING THE FIGHTING.
Realize That They Must Strike Eff
fective Blow at Once.

London, Nov. 13.-The simultaneous
attacks on Ladysmith, Mafeking and
Kimberley which opened Thursday.
! manifest full recognition by the Beers
of the fact that every day lessons their
chances of successful onslaught on
any of the three British strongholds
General JOubert's chances OF reaching
Pietermaritzburg can be said To have
vanished. This is already reported to
be admitted by Colonel Schiel. the Ger
man officer commanding the Boer artil-
lery who is supposed to have been
largely the author of the Boer plan of
campaign and who in an interview, is
alleged to have said:
THE Beers intention was to have
captured Pietermaritzburg and then to
dictate terms. But all hope of accom-
plishing this must now be abandon
ed
There is no doubt that from the
British point of view, the British situa-
tion is rapidly improving. Nearly 5000
troops reached South Africa during the
last forty-eight hours. and by the end
of the week from 5000 TO 1000 more
will be added to the British strength
in Natal These will probably be
pushed forward to Estcourt bringing
the British force there up 20 10000 men

smith by General Joubert very hazard

AS the cavalry and artillery belong
ing to General Methuen's division will
not have arrived by then, the advance
from Estcourt may be delayed. But il
it is deemed essential to open COM
munication with the beleaguered town
at the earliest possible moment Cen
eral Metheun it is believed may decide
to replace the regular cavalry and
artillery by the Natal and Outiander
mounted forces and the naval guns, in
which case it is claimed it ought TO
be possible to occupy Colenso and
stretch out a hand to General White
by Monday, though it is believed the
course to be followed by General
Metheun must necessarily be dictated
entirely by official knowledge of Cen
eral Whites position and resources and
the experts hope General Metheun will
be able to await the concentration of
the whole division before advancing
and thus have a better chance of deal
ing a telling blow at General Joubert's
main army, which, it is asserted. will

reached the break in the railway line
about a half mile from Colenso with

While the conversation was in prog

fort. AS there was no response the
presumption was that the Beers had
retreated. The armored train returned
here safely at s o'clock.
Captain Hensley learned from the
natives that the Beers We're numerous
on the Ladysmith side of Colenso. Dur
ing the afternoon there was a cessation
of the bOmbardment of Ladysmith. A
heliograph was working from Fort

Mountain sheep Not Killed Though

River Murderer Defies Arrest.
Especial to The Herale.o

Nernal, Utah, Nov. 13.-Sheriff Preece
returned from the Indian reservation
last night and reports that matters are
quieting down. A detail of troops has
been sent to protect the sheepherders
until they can get their fiocks off the
reservation, which ii is now deemed
advisable for them to do, as the In
dams are in no pleasant frame of
mind.
Sheriff Preece accompanied the SOL
diers to the scene of the shooting where
Mountain Sheep was found not dead, as
had been supposed, but desperately
wounded. He was surrounded by twen-
ty or thirty members of his tribe.
Sheriff Preece believes that it was very
fortunate that the Indian was not
killed. as the consequences would have
been serious without question The In
dians demand that Olsen shall lbe Sc
verely dealt with. A number of the
tribe have openly declared that
he shall not leave the reservation
until his punishment is guaranteed.
The Indian police who were sent to
arrest the slayer of Mattooson, the
White River. have returned without
capturing the murderer, who defies ar
rest. A squad of troops will be sent
after the fugitive.
