CHINESE HAVE NO GRIEVANCE
Exclusion Laws, as Such. Have Not
Been Applied to the Phil
iDDines.

WASHINGTON, Sept. minister WI
called at the state department to-day and
had a short conference with Secretary
Hay. 1t is presumed that some reference
was made to the status of the Chinese in
the Philippines, but the officers said that
there was no change to report in that mat
ter. Il seems that instead Of applying
Philippines, all General Otis has done in
that direction has been to exercise discrim-
ination in the admission of immigrants of
all nationalities, while directing especial
scrutiny upon the incoming Chinese so as
TO weed out all undesirable characters. If
this is to be the degree of exclusion ap-
piled to the Chinese. it is believed that
there will be no solid ground for complaint
from the Chinese government

Only Church to BE Saloon.


The hamlet of Roslyn Hills, one of the
cause the only church in the place is to
be turned into barroom. The only hope
now Is the annual campmeeting Several
years ago the Congregational church was
a prosperous parish. 1t occupied a small
building. but progressive spirits wanted a
new structure. A loan of 1880 was ne
gotiated with the Riverhead Savings bank
and the present structure was built. Diff
tculties then arose and the debt could not
be paid: One year ago the property was
SOLD under foreclosure. 1t has been unoc-
cupied since, and last week the church was
sold to Mrs. Margaret Thomas. a wealthy
woman of Roslyn. Alterations have begun
TO mt 1t up as saloon. The church bell
hereafter Is to be used as a fire bell and

CHINESE EXCLUSION.

One of the most perplexing questions
brought forward by the acquisition of
the Philippines is the matter of Chi
nese exclusion. To shut out from the
islands all Chinese would be to rob the
archipelago Of it's most industrious and
efficient class of workers On the
other hand, it is inconsistent to exclude
the Chinaman from the United States
proper, and admit him to our island
possessions. The obvious way out of
the dilemma is to repeal the antiquated
and ineffective Geary law.
How many of the thousands of Chi
nese in New England today were here
before the passage of that law? 1t is
an open secret that they have all been
struggled across the Canadian line
within the past few years. The law,
then, is productive of no beneficial re-
suits. Now that the administration is
bending every effort to secure favorable
trade relations and valuable CONNER
cial concessions from China, it would
be greatly to the nations profit to gain
China's goodwill by the repeal of a
law passed originally by the nation at
large to satisfy the single state of Cali
fornia. California will be the princi-
pal gamer among the states from an
increased trade with the Orient, and
California should now take the lead in
repeating the Geary law.

as from the party he was trying to

mess in Worcester.
1t was a matter OF general knowl-
edge that the traffic of the Vanderbilt
systems had altogether outgrown the
New York terminals. Congestion was
inevitable unless another outlet capa-
BILE Of growth was offered. Boston was
the best harbor and the shortest haul.
1t is undoubtedly true, as the Boston
Advertiser remarks, that the failure to
obtain improvements to Boston would
have resulted in a serious blow to the
future growth of the Vanderbilt roads
The matter will now go to the legis-
lature for ratification. There is no
question but what a fight is inevitable
from the Fitchburg people. But it will
probably have little effect Albany

contribute between "a and / per cent
