CHINESE EXCLUSION.
The A. F. Of L. in Favor Of Keep
ing Out Celestials.
DELEGATES FAVOR TICKET SCALPING


Scranton, Pa, Dec. 1.-THE exclu-
sion of Cinnamon, japanese and other
Asiatics from American territory,
ticket scalping legislation and the
advisability of adopting universal
label for union-made goods were the
principal questions that claimed the
attention of the delegates at yes
terday's two sessions OF the Ameri-
can Federation of Labor. The reso-
lutions advocating the exclusion Of
the Chinese were adopted by the con-
vention with considerable hurrah,
but in the matter Of excluding ma
tives of Japan and other Asiatic
lands a snag was struck and this part
of the anti-Mongolan agitation was
killed so far as the present conven-
ton is concerned The special COM
mittee having charge Of the exclusion
matter was unanimous in favorably
reporting the Chinese section of the
resolution, but was divided in regard
to the japanese. The Pacific coast
delegates led the discussion on Chi
nese exclusion, but were divided
when it came to excluding other
orientals. The burden of the remarks
of those opposed to the Japanese
resolution was that Chinese immigra-
ton was the greater evil of the two
and that to insist upon some re-
strictive law to prevent japanese
invasion may endanger the passage
by congress of the Chinese act.
The ticket scalping debate was
quite lively affair. The delegates
representing the railroad telegra-
pliers opened the fight against the
resolution, making the point that
such action was beyond the jurisdic-
ton of the federation. The typo
graphical men were helped along in
their arguments for the adoption
of the resolution by several social
istic members Of the convention. A
socialist from Chicago said the rail
roads were "skinning the people and
why not let the people skin the rail-
roads; il is skin game all around"
When the viva vocc vote was taken
those in favor of permitting ticket
sealping won by an overwhelming
majority. The agitation for uni
versal label, which has been carried
on for long time, was again defeat
ed. Those who favored the idea
fought valiantly, but the delegates
had made up their minds on the ques-
ton and crushed the proposition
when 1t came to \ vote. ~
The convention disposed Of much

To get anything out Of his sultanlc

enjoy the sensation. That Is all that
appears on the face ot the rupture In

dispatch warshlps 10 the Golden Horn,
because the Ottoman power failed TO
keep It's promise Of compensation for

WILL THE czAR INTERFERE

There are persistent rumors to the
effect that the Car intends taking up
the case OF the Roers II Is claimed
that he, during his visit TO France.
will grant an audience to Mr.. Kruger
and hear his version OF the oontrover-
sy before deciding upon plan OF ac-
ton. The Boer leaders have all the
time asked for arbitration. believing
that impartial investigation would
show that they do not merit national
extinction. Perhaps a suggestion by
the Russian ruler, that the case be
submitted TO the international court
Of arbitration, would receive considera-
ton In Great Britain even at this late
day. OF course, King Edward might
suggest that the case OF Finland be
submitted to the court at the same
time and that might oomplicate the
discussion somewhat.
Intervention OF the Russian Gear in
behalf Of the Beers would form most
remarkable chapter in the worlds his
tory. II would be the effort Of an au-
tocrat In behalf OF republican instltu-
tons Yet, the rumors are not entire
~ improbable. The Russian govern
ment may not have any affection for
the Beers, or their democratic ways,
but II IS Jealous enough OF Great Brit
ain and cannot contemplate with pleas
ure the growth OF the influence Of that
country In every part OF the world.
Only a short time ago the story was
told In the European press, that rep
resentatlve OF MIR, Kruger was invited
to the wedding Of the Cars sister.

Oldenburg, and this against the formal
protest Of the British ambassador at
ST. Petersburg NJ, Van der Hoeyen. II
Is said, attended that function while
the British representative distinguished
himself by his absence insignificant
though this circumstance may seem. /,
Is Interpreted 20 be a notice to the
world that Russia does not acknowl-
edge the annexation Of the late African
republics by Great Britain, but that II
still holds that Kruger and Steyn are
the heads OF their respective govern
ments II this Is the meaning OF the
Russian courtesy 10 Van der Hoeven. Il
Is a violent slap in the face Of the Brit.
ish lion by the northern bear, and II
would not be surprising II IL should be
followed by an attempt at interyen-

another,
The contemplated journey Of the Car
TO France may. or may not, have vast
political significance. Rulers OF ma
lions. like other mortals. need change
OF air and such diversions as can be
had only by travel TO foreign lands
But as a rule they mean that agree
ments are entered into and compacts
made, that determine the course Of
events for years. The nature Of such
compacts Is never disclosed to the pub.
lie. until they are made plain as history
is unfolded.

OUR LIBERAL METHODS.

Attention Is again called TO the large
number OF pensioners receiving public
support for supposed services rendered
in the Clvll War Commissioner Evans
IN his annual report shows that there
are 097. 1875 names on the roll and that
on the goth Of June last there were still
100000 claims pending, There are now
more benehclaries OF the pension law
than there were men under arms when
the armies were mustered out thirty
six years ago, and the number Is still
growing, though the veterans are dy-
Ing at the rate Of many thousands
every year.
The reason for this anomalous condi-
tion, the New York Journal explains
thus
IT has been shown recently that
while a pensioner may die his pension
In many cases Is immortal, Sometimes
II degcends TO his heirs, and sometimes
Il is just quietly annexed by neigh
Dor who has taken a fancy TO it. The
government IS in the habit Of paying a
pension to John Smith. When John
Smith dies the government does not
necessarily know II, and II the ts4rB ht
properly worked Il may go on making
The payments to John Jones, CAGES OF
false impersOnatl0n are said 10 be very
numerous and in The presence Of such
statistics as those contained In the
commissioners report the statement
may readily be believed The old Joke
about the longevity Of pensioners may
not be strictly' accurate. II may be
merely the pension, and not the PEN
sioner, that is so long lived.
The question is sometimes being
asked whether republics are ungrateful.
We should think not. There is no mon
archlal country In the world where the
government would continue to pay for
supposed services long after those who
performed them have passed out Of this
earthly existence. But is It not time to
overhaul the entire pension system. for
the benefit OF the taxpayer
