THE EXCLUSION ACT.

sidering the status of the Chinese en-
pire at present, even Minister

renewal of the Geary act, but WI is

the dragons claws were unclipped and
the Boxer revealed in the blood of

posed act Mr.. WI says: he believes

treaty that does not expire until 1904,
the congress will not undertake to do
anything with the matter at the win

and therefore cannot complain. But
speaking off-hand and without refer
ence to the specific terms of the
treaty, it does not seem to me that in
the face of it the United States would
pass an act excluding the Chinese,
say, for ten or twenty years. l do
not know that this country could do
so unless it acted arbitrarily in the
matter, which l do not believe it
would do. China has consented to the
present restriction, but it has not con
scented beyond limitation of the pres.
ent treaty, so l do not believe the
United States would enact a law that
would exclude the Chinese beyond
that period"

from the opposing lines. Our boys were

chickens and pigs there were to be found
until about 10 o'clock at night, when or

very carefully, and on our return to where

successes of the Union army about Chat

for having lost the battle Of Chancellors-

In preparing for battle he said that n
commanding officer should make great al
lowances for unexpected casualties, re-
verses, and thousand and one things
that might happen in placing his army
alongside of that of an enemy, and in all
of the early stages and movements for
battle. This he said he had done at Chan
cellorsville. All such mishaps and posi-
bilities he thought he had anticipated and
provided for; but, he said, he had not an

A General, he said, who would have

would have made any such allowances for

there can hardly be a doubt but that he
would have won a victory which he might
have followed up and have defeated Lee
forces in detail both upon our right and
left.
But while he was contemplating some
such movement he received word that
Sedgwick had recrosSed the Rappahan-
mock and had returned to his former quar-
ters at Falmouth. This information
caused Hooker to act only upon the de-
fensive, and at an early hour the follow

standing alone in those woods, was the
