POURING INTO MANILA.
Thousands of Chinese Are Arriving
 There Each Week.

From the San Francisco Chronicle
 dispatch from Manila announces that under the new law Chinese are pouring into Manila and quickly getting into the provinces. During the past two weeks 5000 Chinese have come in" Unfortu- nately, we. do not know what the new law is. It will be published in due time by the War Department and be availa- ble, but Its provisions have not been telegraphed and. therefore cannot be discussed. Under the Spanish laws they were restricted. The first Philippine commission took a great deal of test mony on the Chinese question, and it is somewhat conflicting. Laws seem to have been changed. but 1t appears that there was a substantial head tax or what amounted to a head tax which prevented their coming in large numbers. While the testimony was conflicting as as to the advisability of admitting them, it was uniform in one respect. All the Filipinos wanted them excluded, and all desired to exploit the country desired that they be freely admitted. They do there what they 70 here-come without their families, and remit every dollar which they acquire to China; but they do more. They intermarry with the Fil- ipino women and produce a race of mes- tizos who possess all the bad qualities of both parents and very few of the good ones.
 If the Chinese are allowed free access Into the Philippines they will extermi- nate the Filipinos. There can be no doubt of that whatever. They will crowd them out of every occupation and out of the world They will monopolize the la bor and the retail trade. The Filipinos dread them and hate them. There Is no doubt that they are more effective in- struments for developing the country" For that reason the exploiters want them as they want them here. The Chi nese injure us but they cannot destroy us. The Filipinos they will not only in- jure but exterminate. With the free ad- mission of the Chinese we must abandon all hope of raising the standard of civili- zation of the native. In contact with the Chinese he will go down in the social

the President on a moments notice Tho leading Republican Senators who were closely identified with the Mckinley ad- min1stration have left a trail of abuse of the President from Washington to New Ycrk
 The consensus of opinion in Washington Is that President Roosevelt will sooner or later be engaged in open warfare with his party advisers. The easons arise almost exclusively from the Presidents impulsive conduct. He listens too readily. the critics say, to the stories and complaints that are brought to him by men whom he Is disposed to like. He makes up his mind usually on the first story he hears. gives a promise as to what he will do and then later changes his mind after he has heard the other side of the case. He has given mortal offense to scores of politicians by this sort of conduct. His turning down of candidates for office regardless of the protests of Senators Is almost without parallel.
 1t is impossible to conceal the discon- tent that exists among the Republican members of Congress. They themselves make no effort to conceal this feeling.
 Another cause of trouble which is cer- tain to culminate in an outbreak sooner or later is the Presidents attitude toward a majority of the members of his col binet. About the only member of the cabinet who seems to enjoy his complete conf- dence, and who Is accorded treatment in conformity with the dignity of his place. is Secretary of War Root. The other members are apparently in the eyes ot the President nothing more than a body of high-priced clerks.

"Nathan HaIe."

Clyde Fitchs play of Nathan Hale' will be produced at the Jefferson Theatre Thanksgiving afternoon and night
 The figure of Nathan Hale" is pecu- harly interesting, and the wonder is that 1t did not receive dramatic treatment sooner. Nathan Hale' was born in Gov entry in 1755, graduated from Yale in ! and met his untimely end in 1776. His youth. courage and nobility of char acter msde his fate deeply felt by his country men. and no doubt his example inspired them with new fortitude. He was" says one who knew him, almost perfectly pro- pordoned. and in figure and department he was the most manly man I ever met His beauty and grace of manner were most charming. The play follows histori- cal fact with great fidelity. The opening scene is in New England-New London where Nathan Hale" is teaching school. and at the time the news of Lexington is flashing through the land, in a burst of patriotic fervor. young Hale raises a company from among the half-grown pu- pills and dedicates himself to the cause of freedom In the same act he under takes the dangerous mission of procur- ing mpch-needed information for the American commanders, and penetrates the enemy's lines for this purpose His design is accomplished in a measure, but at what cost! He is discovered con- demned without trial, and made to suffer the death of spy. In conformity with history. the play describes the ex-

He was denied the com fort of religion, and the letters he wrote to his. mother and friends were destroyed before his face. in order, as one of his captors said, to prevent the rebels from learning how one of their number could die so bravely. There is, of course beautiful love story twined in the struc- ture of the play, and the services of a rival lover. who is, naturally, villanous English officer are called Into the story. The ."Nathan Hale of Howard Kyle Is youthful in bearing. as was Hale, re- served and self contained, responsive, but not too emotional strong in his act ing by his reserve and boise, and alto gether the same loxable character that made Nathan Hale" one of the grandest heroes of the modern World.
 Nathan Hale" was presented at the Jefferson Theatre last season and made a great success. The Age Herald at the time said of the play: The audience was delighted and gave the rlay the most fiattering attention. throughout The play Is altogether one of the best seen in Br- mingham this season.. Every part in the play is well sustained. Howard. Kyle ap- peared to the best advantage in the title role. His interpretation of the part is extremely fine. and he received rounds or hearty applause.

New York. November 23.-In deciding the case of Thomas Boden the courts will rule whether or not a man suffering from tuberculosis can be excluded from this country This is the first case in which the constitutionality of the treasury rul- ing will be passed upon by the courts
 Thomas P. Boden arrived from Ireland November g. a steerage passenger of the Cunard line steamer Lucania His wife and child were with him. He has reIa- lives who live at 1859 South Forty-sixth street, Philadelphia. They were able to guarantee that he would not become a public charge and he had means of his own. The authorities at Ellis Island were satisfied on that score, but they de- clined to admit him because examinations by physicians of the Marine Hospital corps showed he had tuberculosis of the lungs. He appealed to the Treasury De- partment and re-examination was or dered.

The rebel leaders have constantly held this terror before their people By free admission of the Chinese we justify the worst prophecies which our enemies have made.

The standing of the contestants will be printed every day un- til the close.
 The Age-Herald originally intended to award the prize on Christmas day, but the contest has grown so unsatisfactory in many ways that 1t is considered ad- ness to promote the interests of their favorites friends of the contestants have gone too far in securing votes. Votes have been purchased from carriers and newsboys and to obtain these votes car riers have mutilated the papers which should have been delivered to the sub scribers.
 Many complaints of subscribers not get ting their papers have been ferreted out to find that the papers have been taken for the coupons. Other subscribers have complained about getting the paper with the coupon cut out. The Age-Herald has frequently warned the friends of the con testants, but without avail and the only way to avoid further trouble is to close the contest.

Washington Special Chicago Chronicle.
 President Roosevelt is making more ene- mics than any previous occupant of the White House since the time of Andrew Johnson. He has surpassed the highest record of President Cleveland He has broken down every tradition left by the late President Mckinley. On every hand Is heard from the lips of leading Repub- licans the most savage criticism of the President for his alleged shortcomings. When he forced the Kentuckians to select a collector whom none of them wanted every party leader in that state was angry and disappointed.

THE OLD WAY.
Of Treating Stomach Trouble and In. digestion Barbarous and
 Useless One.

We say the old way but really it is the common and usual one at the present time and many dyspeptics, and physicians as well, consider the first step in attempt ing to cure indigestion is to diet, either by selecting certain food and rejecting others or to greatly diminish the quantity of food usually taken.
 In other words the starvation plan is by many supposed to be the first essential in the cure of weak digestion.
 The almost certain failure of the star vation cure for stomach trouble has been proven time and again but still the us- ual advice. when dyspepsia makes it's ap- pearance, Is a course of dieting
 All this is radically wrong. It is foolish and unscientihc to recommend dieting or starvation to a person suffering from dys- pepsia because indigestion itself starves every organ and every nerve and fibre in the body.
 What is needed is abundant nutrition. not less, and this means plenty of good, wholesome weil-cooked food and some natural digestive to assist the weak stom- ach to digest it.
 This is exactly the purpose for which Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets are adapted and this is the way they cure the worst cases of stomach trouble.
 The patient eats plenty of wholesome food, and Stuarts Dyspepsia Tablets di- gests it for him.
 And this Is in accordance with nature and common sense because in this way the whole system is nourished. and the overworked stomach rested, because the tablets will digest the food. whether the stomach works or not. One of Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets will digest 1900 grains of meat, eggs and similar food.
 And druggist will tell you that Stuart's s Ill Iata ie .adxr 0f ordinary value and probably is the purest and safest remedy for stomach troubles.
 No person suffering from poor digestion and lack of appetite can fail to be im- mediately and permanently benefited if they would make it a practice to take one or two of Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets after each meal
