Of Kiang-Su and three years later his name recurs
in the same capacity in Quans-Tung In the autumn
of 1894 during the japanese war he was sum
Ra member OF the Grand Council of War. The growth
of his influence is we'll attested by the privilege
soon afterward conferred on him Of being allowed
TO ride on horseback in the Forbidden City After
filling various Offices. Kang VI appointed presi-

MADE TO PAY, FOR SPACE
Complaint of American Exhibitors
at the Paris Exposition.
Delegate Flynn. of Oklahoma. In
officials of the Government Exhibit
Secured Money for Concessions
in the United States Building.

Dennis T. Flynn, Delegate in Congress
from Oklahoma filed with the State De-
partment yesterday a complaint that Of
fcials of the United States Government
exhibit at the Paris Exposition compelled
! American exhibitors to pay money for the
privilege of securing floor space in the
United States building In Mr.. Flynn S
communication the name of no official is
mentioned. The charges are generally that
the exhibitors were obliged to pay amounts
ranging from $3.50 upward, to obtain con-
cessions Mr. Flynn's complaint will be
brought to the attention OF Ferdinand w.
Peck, of Chicago, Commissioner General
of the United States Government at the
Exposition, and 1t is probable that Mr.
Flynn will be asked to make a more eX-
plicit statement of the matter, with the
names of the officials who are alleged to
have sold the concessions.
Under the terms of the law providing
for the appointment Of "a Commissioner
General Mr.. Peck has absolute authority
in regard to the allotment of floor space
and granting of concessions generally in
the United States Government building.
This authority extends to the disburse-
for the purpose of the American Govern
ment exhibit, although he is obliged to
submit certified statements of expenditures
to the State Department. A statement
from Mr.. Peck giving an account of his
disbursements up to March 81 has been
received by the Department and forward
ed to President Mckinley. Vouchers SUBJ
mitted account for an expenditure OF $685.
coo up to that time. but 1t is shown also
that the actual expenditures were about
$500. 600, as there is balance of only about
s700.000 remaining to Mr.. Peck's credit.
Vouchers for these additional expenditures
ere expected in due course.
With Mr.. Peck in supreme control OF
the American exhibit and its administra-
ton the Government has no authority to
compel him to remedy any Irregularities
that may have occurred. OF course. if
he should decline to remedy the defects
or remove culpable subordinates the Pres
ident could remove Mr.. Peck and appoint
Commissioner General who would insti-
tute reforms.
Two complaints from intending Ameri-
can exhibitors at Paris were received at
the State Department before the exposi-
tion opened. They contended that they
had been prevented from exhibiting on &C
count Of certain exactions. The State
Department referred these cases to Mr..
Peck, who entered into correspondence
with the compliments, with the result
that satisfactory arrangement by which
the exhibitors were given space was
reached. Nothing more was heard of the
matter by the State Department

AN AMERICAN ABROAD.
Senator Depew's Lecture Attracts n
Large Audience.


Senator Depew lecttred last night Al
| the National Theatre to large audience
on IAN American Abroad for the benefit
| Of the Episcopal Eye. Ear and Throat In
| Urinary. Mr.. Depew1 made no effort tc
| give facts and figures on European life
| There was none of this in the whole. adj
dress. Instead, from the experience OF
many tours abroad, he selected the Incl
dents which illustrated along broad lines
the character of European peoples and
some of the personal attributes of world
wide celebrities. Mr.. Depew told many
stories.
There is one good thing about ,our
Britisher's appreciation of the exaggerat-
! ed American joke" he said. You may
| tell ii TO him with the consciousness that
he will be reveling in 1t to the full when
yon VISIT him next season.
Speaking the the British Parliament, he
said:
They have no desks in the English
House of Commons. The members sit
there with their hats on and they talk
amid the cheers of their friends and the
jeers of their foes. And the man who
knows most about anything is sure of
getting a careful hearing. Such thing
as printing in the records a speech by the
Hon. Mr.. So-and-So, which was never
made, is unknown there. The reading OF
carefully prepared essays is equally M
known. There the speeches are eaS
speeches. And sometimes | think that if
all the desks in Congress were removed.
SO that members could not carry on cor
respondence during the sittings and would
be compelled to attend to public business,
We would see our affairs property trans
acted
Speaking of the 0berammergau passion
play, Senator Depew referred to it in most
reverent and appreciative tones. Were
it presented on this stage by actors who
are only actors. there would be calls
everywhere for its suppression, but
played as it is with villagers who spend
long years in saturating themselves with
the sentiments of the parts they will take,
it is an act of conservation and devotion.
| got new conception there of the char
acter of Judas. According to the passion
play. Judas was the only business man
among the apostles. He alone realized
that when there is expense there must be
corresponding income. and the drains of
living expenses among the little band de-
pressed him sOrely. Then the Jews came
with the story that if Jesus were all right,
he could come to no harm by being placed
in their hands. and Judas, in turning over
the Master to them would be serving to
reveal the divinity of Christ. On the
other hand, were Jesus an impostor it was
Judas duty TO expose him. Thus tempted,
the apostle accepted their thirty pieces
of silver and pointed out the Christ TO
them with a kiss. When he learned the
result and found the Master crucifed he
went forth and hanged himself"
A number of prominent Episcopalian
ministers were on the stage with Senator
Depew, and box was reserved for Bishop
Satterlee. 1t is estimated that the profits
of the lecture will be about $500 The
Third Regiment Cavalry Band furnished
music. .o

INFLUX OF JAPANESE.
Reports of Immigrant Inspect,
Watchorn From Tacoma.

Reports of Immigrant Inspc 'tol
Watchorn From Tacoma.
Robert Watchorn, Supervising Special
Immigrant Inspector, has wired Commits
sioner General Powderly, of the Immigra-
tion Bureau, from Tacoma that proposed
legislation establishing definite inspection
stations is essential to successful enforce
ment of the immigration laws
Mr.. Watchorn, who is one of the most
trusted and efficient men in the imuris a
service. was sent to the Pacific Coast May
3 to make special investigation Of Japa-
nese immigration, says in report by wire
that two steamers had arrived within two
days, putting ashore nine hundred Japa-
nese laborers at Victoria to avoid possible
deportations if they had been landed in
United States territory. Mr.. Watchorn'
telegram confirms the report that fifty Of
the Japanese who came over en- the steam
er Glenogle and landed in Tacoma were Or
dered detained.
Two reports have been received from
Mr.. Watchorn in writing since his arrival
in Tacoma. The first was written May 1S.
and the second May "a, the latter Of which
has Just been received by the Immigration
Bureau. In the report of May Is Mr..
Watchorn says in part:
Public sentiment is strongly influenced
against the so-called invasion Of Japs.
and by public meetings, newspaper crlti-
cisms, and discussions in the meetings OF
workingmen unions, the anti-Japanese SEN
timent is being cultivated very thoroughly.
and all political conventions. without re-
gard to party. recently held on this coast
and In adjacent States. have vigorously de-
clared in favor OF restricting or prohibiting
Japanese immigration.
To fully appreciate the difficulties IN
der which the inspectors labor in conduct
ing special enquiries one must needs be
present at such hearing. The immigrants
give their testimony with extreme reluc-
lance and have evidently been thoroughly
prepared for vigorous test as to their
right to admission into the United States"
Mr.. Watchorn says that he will at the
earliest possible date have the case of
Bishop, the contract labor importer. who
is in Jail in Tacoma, brought up in tue
United States court at Seattle. He says
that Bishops confession reveals the per-
nicous system by which the Japanese are
herded and shipped to the United States.
Doubt is expressed whether it will be pos
sible for the Government to locate the
men whom Bishop personally brought here
under the direction of his employer.
In his advice of May "a Mr.. Watchorn
gives the number of Japanese landed by
the steamship Sikh from Kobe and Yoko-
hama May Il as 200. of which ten were
females. The total amount of money In
their possession was $500. an average Of
81 apiece. OF this number five were ex-
cluded.
Mr.. Watchorn reports his arrangement
to meet joint conference of all organ
lied labor unions at Seattle May 80 with
view of pointing out to them what the de-
partment is doing and how it proposes to
enforce the law.
