49, HE Chinese Exclusion Convention
completed its labors yesterday
after the adoption Of one Of the
most important as well as vigor-
- Gus memorials on the Chinese
question ever addressed TO the
President and Congress Of the United
States. The attitude Of the people Of Cal
ifornia and Of the entire Pacific Coast to-
ward the problem of unrestricted immi-
grafton Of Asiatics to these shores as rep
resented in the convention was distinctly
outlined. and its language cannot fail to
be understood in the East as being the
spontaneous outburst Of a united people
against the imposition upon them Of a
gTievous wrong.
The delegates gathered in force yester-
day morning and listened with enthusi-
asm to many speakers. Only one theme
was discussed, only one idea advanced,
namely. unalterable resistance to the pro-
ject Of unrestricted Chinese immigration
10 America The danger Of a Monaghan
invasion in the event OF the refusal Of
Congress to re-enact the exclusion law
was pointed out in forceful language by
ali the speakers. The delegates cheered
heartily at every patriotic sentiment
voiced By the orators, and particularly
when the necessity OF protecting Aneri-
can labor against foreign competition was
urged The members Of the convention
showed by their zeal that they were in
accord with the speakers, whose senti-
rnents they cordially indorsed-
The report of the committee on perma-
nent organization was the first matter
70 engage the attention OF the delegates
at the morning session. The recommen-
dalton that the temporary officers he
made permanent was adopted amid
cheers. II was expected that the memo
rial committee would be able to file its
report. but the announcement by Chair
man Geary that further time was re-
CURED by the committee resulted in the
desired action being taken. There being
no definite business before the convention.

LEGAL ASPECTS OF
THE CHINESE QUESTION
brilliant Address by Assistant United
States District Attorney Duncan
z McKinIar


D. E. McKinlay, Assistant United
States Attorney for the District of Cali
fornia, was introduced to the convention
and delivered a stirring and forcible ad-
dress. He enlightened the delegates on
the scope Of the Geary act. He had many
wise suggestions. and his remarks were
listened to with deep interest. In part
he said:
Mr. Chairman and Gentlemen Of the Conven-
ton: I apprehend that the invitation extended
by the managers OF this convention to the
United States Attorneys Office to participate
in these proceedings arose from desire on
the part Of the managers to place before the
convention the data and the information
which that office could furnish concerning the
practical operation Of the Chinese exclusion
law.
AS to the desirability of the re-enaction of
the Chinese exclusion laws there can be DO

PROPOSED CONGRESSIONAL DIS
TKICT CHANGES.
Speaking of the redistricting the
State of Maryland under the census
of 1900 MIR. Frank A. Richardson the
Washington correspondent of the Bal
timore San has the following to say
of the Second Congressional Districts:
AT present the Second Congression-
al district of Maryland contains the
largest number of people and the
Fifth the smallest. The city of Balti-
more contains now two entire Con
gressionai districts and is part of
two more. Having a very large frac-
ton over the number requisite for
two members under the new appor-
tionment. Baltimore could very prop
erly be made into three districts.
This may not suit the politicians of
of either party, and tits thought more
likely that, not that whether the Demo
Gratis or the Republicans carry the
next Legislature of Maryland, Balti-
more will be carved up and divided
between the counties as now. A good
many politicians seem to have an idea
of the possibility of Cecil county being
put in the First Congressional district
with the rest of the Eastern Shore
counties. But this is rather in the
nature of speculation, and when the
time comes. either with Republicans
or Democrats in control, there may be
n shaking up not at all just now antici-
pated.

COMITR HERIRRS RE
PORT


The annual report of Comptroller
Joshua w Herring, which was sub,
mitted to Governor Smith on Satur-
day last, constitutes a gratifying ex-
hihit of Mnryland's finances and re-
fleets the highest credit upon the adj
ministration of State affairs. No
where does the comptroller become
rhetorical or give special emphasis to
statements, relying upon the plain
facts to speak for themselves. But
more convincing and impressive pre-
sentation of the economy, the ability
and the prudence with which the
| business of the commonwealth has
been managed could not be desired.
1t appears from the report that the
disbursements in 1900, amounting to
So, 4sO, 53426, were $169, 1879 81 less than
during the previous year, notwith-
standing the cost of the Legislative
season. The difference, however, is
more apparent than real, $685., $40 IA
having been paid in 1899 on account
of the consolidated loan" of that
year, while this item and the State
building improvement loan in 1900
demanded only 17,64O.07, or $780,
$50 or less.
The amount received into the treas .
ury from all sources was $3,622, 493 AZ,
the excess of receipts over expendi-
lures being not less than Sal, $3.50. 49,
A total Of $311, 773. SO was added to the
various sinking funds and some ad-
vantageous investments were made.
Comptroller Herring discusses in detail
theseveral transactions and comments
instructively upon different develop
ments, such as the marked increase in
the returns from the Maryland Agri-
cultural College and the failure of the
Northern Central Railway Company
to pay its regular quarterly instalment
| of ali annuity of 100000 secured by Il
mortgage on its property, which the
| company wants to extinguish-an
arrangement rejected by the State.
| The matter is now in the courts: The
| receipts for 1901 are estimated at
IS, 1873 97S 80 and the disbursements at
So, PA. 500 70, which would reduce the
treasury balance of $S49,SS5 16 Ton
September 80, 19OO) to $769, 353.6S.
A section of the report which will
attract general attention is that deal
ing with the oyster fund. 1t shows
the balance to the credit of this fund
on September 80, 1899, to have been
81, 2S671. The receipts during the
fiscal year were 1884, 80 and the
disbursements $S1, 1888 81, leaving a
balance of $5,36574 The deficit
carried from year to year, however,
amounted on September 30, 1899, to
$50, 900, and in order to provide for
this shortage the last Legislature made
direct appropriation covering the
item, so that there was actually a de,
ficiency of about $50, 900.
The State debt is shown to be
Sc 309, 1926. 10, an increase of 100000,
due to the provision to complete the
Fifth Regiment armory and to con
tinue work on the new State building.
The net debt is only s., $50, 2G9 10.

THE NEW HOUSE OF DELEGATES
Under the Federal census of 1900 the
House of Delegates of Maryland viii
be enlarged from 81 members to 9S
| This increase of seven is derived one
| each from the increased population OF
the following equities:
Anne Arundel.
Charles.
| Kent.
Montgomery.
Prince Georges.
st. Mary's.
Washington.
1t is a striking coincidence that the
increase in the membership of the
House for the decade between 1870
and 1880 was also seven members.
Then the counties gaining one mem
Der each were:
Anne Arundel.
Charles.
Hartford.
Queen Anne's.
Talbot.
Wicomico.
Worcester.
In 1870 the total membership wa
80, but in 1872 Garrett came in max
ing the total 81, AMI it was Increased
by the census of 1880 to 81.
The total was not changed by the
census of 1890, by which AIlegany
gained a member and Charles county
lost one. For 20 years, therefore, the
membership of the House stood stead
lily at 81.
The representation in State and
other political conventions is in &C.
cordapce with the number of Dele
gates and Senators in each county
aud the city of Baltimore, SO that the
increase in the membership of the
House will make the total member
ship of the State conventions 1874 in
stead of 1T, as heretofore. The same
rule will also apply to the State COM
mittees of parties, and the gain OF
representation will be as in the House
of Delegates, one each in the counties OF

toms vary somewhat in different cpl
denies, and different individuals mani
fest them with different degrees OF
acuteness. The bacillus is believed to
enter the system through the respira-
tory tract. At the outset of the at
tack there is general out-of sor is
feeling, stifled feeling in the head, q
disposition to sneeze and q distinctly
felt difficulty in breathing. The
throat is apt to become Il deep red in
color and a dry cough sets in. The
temperature rises FROM 50 to 70 or
higher, varying in different cases. The
digestion is impaired and the active
stage of the disease is likely to be
marked by chills and nausea. Pains
are felt all over the body, and every
hour increases the general sense of
weakness and prostration.
1t is a disease that must not be
trifled with and while we do not
realize it, yet it has undoubtedly kill
the plaques of recent years than
human nature has been heir to.
AS it is better to prevent than to
cure, it may be noted in conclusion
that in an epidemic of grip like that
now passing over the country those
persons are most likely to escape it
who pay the strictest attention to the
general rules of health-eating regular
ly and plainly; avoiding excesses of
every kind; keeping close watch for
the first sign of disturbance, either
of the stomach or the respiratory Or
gans; avoiding exposure to sudden
changes of temperature; keeping the
feet dry aad warm-and, in short,
generally taking good care of your
