Has the administration promised the
Chinese minister to use its influence to
prevent re-enactment by congress of
the Chinese exclusion law, which will
expire next May? That question is
deeply interesting the labor organiza-
tons and others who are working in
favor OF prompt re-enactment of the
law by congress. There are several
suspicious circumstances. The Chi
nese minister, who has more pull with
the administration than any other
member Of the diplomatic corps, is
openly working against re-enactment,
and officials connected with the admin.
istration have been saying that the
sentiment ON the Pacific coast is much
more favorable to the Chinese than il
was when the exclusion law was en-.
acted. 1t is not probable that the adj
ministration would dare to openly ia.
vor throwing open our doors to Chinese
immigration, but it is feared by the
friends Of re-enactment that it may al.
low senators and representatives to in.
fer that failureto re-enact the Chinese
exclusion law would not be displeasing.

1t has always been understood that
Mr.. Mckinley was absolutely lacking
the sense Of humor. That understand
ing no longer holds good. Whether it
was the wording Of some Of the con-
gratulations showered upon him for his
declaration that he would not be q
third term candidate that aroused the
sense OF humor in him, doesn't matter.
The fact remains that he now has it.
His first exhibition Of it almost fright
ened several members of the cabinet,
but they have become accustomed to il
now and find it an agreeable change.
The exhibition was in connection with
some of Ihe congratulations Mr.. Nc
Kinlsy received during the past week.
He has little bunch of them on his
desk from his would-be republican sue
cessors that are particularly fulsome ii
tone. The first man he showed then
to, with perceptible ehuckle, was Sec

MANY PERSONAL REQUESTS.

A number of letters were received
from Mr.. Chaffin's former home and
from citizens in various communities
where Chaffin had worked.
Letters asking for the pardon came
from Greenwood from Joel S. Aiken,
Wyatt Aiken and from Gen. Robert r.
Hemphill and Frank B. Gray of Able
vile, Captain James M. King of Green
wood and W. B. Wilson of Abbeville,
There was large package of letters
asking for the pardon from Tennessee,
Louisiana, New York and other places
where Chaffin was known. One OF the
strong grounds for the granting of the
pardon was that of Miss Bobo testified
to the fact that Mr.. CRUDE could use
his right hand as we'll as his left hand.
Her affidavit, which was filed with the
governor, shows this fact. Captain
Mooney, who assisted in the prosecu-
ton, suggested that the pardon would
be proper. At the trial it was empha.
sized that CRUDE was a left handed
man whereas it is not shown that he
was ambidextrous and q good deal
hinged on what hand CRUDE used in
holding the scantling he had at the
time Of the killing and the ambidex.
trous testimony is something new.

JUDGE KLUGH's LETTER.

Judge Klugh, who presided at Chat.
fms trial wrote the governor that the
facts of the case, the bearing Of the de-
PENDANT and the excellent character Civ
en- him by those who had known him
best impressed him with the belief that
he deserved q better fate than O com.
mon felon's end, and that in passing
sentence on him he had expressed to
Chaffin the hope that due submission
to the mandate of the low and an exem.
plary life might some time bring to
him an amelioration of his unfortunate
condition.
The Judge added that he still held
that belief, strengthened by the excel
lent reports given concerning Mr.
Chaflin. While making no recommen.
dalton to the governor he submitted
that the highest ends of society ant
humanity might be subserved by either
granting the prayer for pardon or a
least committing the sentence.
