Chinese Exclusion.

WASHINGTON, January 15.-It wa
reported today that Secretary Hay hao
advised Senator Lodge that it would BE-
a grave affront to China to enact an
exclusion law running beyond the life
of the present treaty, which is popular
ly supposed to expire December Z, 1904
It may be stated with authority. how
ever, that there is no truth in this re-
port In the first place the treaty with
China does not expire in 1904, but will
continue for another ten years unless
one Of the contracting parties gives no
tice of intention to denounce it. The
United States has received no intima-
ton from China of such intention.

Mr.. w. H. Young, superintendent mo-
tive power of the second division of the
Atlantic Coast Line, who was formerly
master mechanic on the district ex-
tending from Jacksonville to Port Tam
pa and adjacent branches, known as
the Jacksonville district, has been
pleasantly remembered by the mechani-
cal department employees of the Jack
sonville district, who presented him
with handsome diamond stud. About
forty of his employees met him in Supt
Purdon's office on the arrival at San
ford of train IS from Savannah. Their
gift was presented to Mr.. Young by
Col. A. M. Thrasher in a few well chos-
en- words. Mr. Young responded in a
neat speech, complimented the men
with whom he had been associated for
years, for their good work, and men
toned in particular the extraordinary
care exercised by the employees of the
Jacksonville district in the handling of
the large body of troops during the
late war, when not life was lost and
practically mot a wheel was off" dur
ing that great rush, more trains being
handled then than by any other single
track railroad in the United States.

ested in Alabama mines are now get
ting quotations on sail tonnage with
this object in view. while others are

coal to go via the Ocean Steamship

The CuIPrits who Faced the Re-
corder Yesterday Morning.
Henry Stiles and George Glover, two
negro boys, who were detected yester-
day morning in the act of burglarizing
a house in broad daylight, were, at
their commitment trial in the Recor-
der's Court, remanded for trial in the
Superior Court. They will remain in
Jail pending the finding of an indict-
ment against them by the grand jury.
Joe Williams, whose house on Gwin-
nett street lane they attempted to
burglarize, is the main witness against
the boys. He can furnish all necessary
testimony. however, as he caught the
boys in the act.
E. e. Kinsey, who was arrested day

ance and threatening to kill Mr. ]. c.
Manning, manager for F. NJ. Kirby, in
the ten-ceDt store on Broughton street,
was yesterday made to pay fine of

was held on suspicion, because he was
seen on the str eet after dark with two

AT THE THEATER

Owing, doubtless. to the inclemency
of the weather but a small audience
witnessed the performance of "A Colo
NAL Girl" at the Theater last night, by
Miss Bertha Creighton, in the title role,
and her excellent support.
Miss Creighton's acting was beyond
adverse criticism. She has a store of
sion requires, and when pathos is
needed, she can touch the hearts of
all.
Rare and discriminating judgment
has been exercised in the selection of
the company. From Godfrey Remsen,
the patriotic young American, so ably
portrayed by Mr.. Robert E. Romans,
down to Giles. the old Remsen family
servant. there isn't one that is lacking
in ability. Miss Grace Quackenbush,
as Lady Sarah Kiltaltas, an English
girl" who befriended "MoTlie Hedden,"
the Colonial Girl" made many friends
Miss KimbaTl, as Lady Judith"
Godfrey's cousin. who made trouble
for Godfrey and Mollie Hedden, did not
make as many friends, in the gallery.
as Lady Sarah, but she is an actress
just the same. She played the part
of the wicked. scorned, revengeful wo-
man with a success that made the I'M
appreciative small boy hiss her.
There will be many larger audiences
to witness performances before the
season closes, but few of them will see
a better or more pleasing production.
AT the matinee, despite the weather,
there was fairly large audience. All
were pleased with the excellent acting
OF the company, and with the pretty
play that is in such competent hands.

LAUNDERED S0lLED LINEN.
A TenderIOin Belle md n Knight If
the Grip in Court

the Grip in Court.
Yesterdays criminal session of the
City Court was made interesting by
the trial of Belle Collins, the Tender
loin denizen that s. L. Green, a knight
of the grip, hailing from the North,
charged with having peeled $40 from
his wad. Judge Norwood let her go.
AS the court took occasion to remark
in rendering the defendant her liberty.
there was an unnecessary amount of
dirty linen washed during the trial of
the case.
Green was not able to give any exact
information as to the disappearance
of the money. All he seemed to know
was that the woman had worked the
poor little country maid" racket on
him to perfection, and he had sue
cumbed to her not very evident charms.
IN the course of the evening $40 had
disappeared.
Inc prosecutor said an individual
who figured in the story as the friend
and protector of the woman had of
Tered to give him a watch to call the
case on, or to rush the ticker down
to his uncle's and turn over what
ever amount that relative could be in
duced to shell out He had declined.
What he wanted was satisfaction. and
II a thorough airing of his exploits
on the night he was touched will bear
such description he got it. When he
and the opposition got through there
was nothing left to tell.
There were other performers at Judge
Norwood's matinee, but the Collins wo-
man was the star while Green shone
as the leading man. All the other
members of the cast were colored-
Variously so. the tints beginning with
nght cream color, running the gamut
of the yellows and browns and Gull
minating in an ebon black.
OF these lesser lights, Willie Har-
r1s, convicted on three separate charges
OF larceny from the house, was given
his choice of paying a fine of $50 and
costs or serving a year on the gang
for each offense. For him to paw the
fine is, of course, impossible and, in
consequence, they will serve the county
for three years to come.
A defective memory is responsible
for a term of twelve months at hard la
Dor that James Walker will have to
serve. There came a time in his life
when Jim needed money and he forgot
ne had not acquired the absolute title
TO some furniture he had purchased on
the installnaent plan He sold it. and
there his troubles began. The law
looks askance at such conduct. and
Judge Norwood could not condone it,
He told Jim he'd have to hand the
clerk $25 and pay the officers of the
court for their trouble or else don one
of the suits the county furnishes those
it takes under it's special protection.
Jim didn't have the money about him.
and had to connect with the latter half
of the proposition.
There were many others to whose
misdeeds Judge Norwood had to listen.
Most of them were provided with long
stories descriptive OF their innocence
with which they RECALLED the court.
They sounded like plagiarisms, how
ever, and failed to impress. AS a se-
suit of it all, there were more than a
score of additions 20 the gang, most of
whom were forcibly enlisted for a year.
