FOSTER OPPOSES THE BILL. | |.
Ex-Secretary Of State Criticises the:
Bill for the Exclusion Of Chinese
People. II 5 n
Appears Before the Committee and
Discusses Matter as Violation
of Treaty.
Any Measure Passed Extending Ex-
isting Law Beyond 1904 He Thinks
Would Not Hold.

Washington, Jan. 24.-Ex-Secretary
of State John w. Foster appeared be.
fore the senate committee on immigra-
tion and spoke in opposition to the
Chinese exclusion bills which have
been introduced in congress. His re-
marks were directed more particularly
to the Mitchell or Pacific coast bill,
(which he said was plain violation of
our treaty with China Mr.. Foster
said that our government had four
times asked China to modify existing
treaties in the interest of American
citizens and that in every instance
China had acceded to our request. He
then submitted for the consideration
of the committee three propositions.
The first was that any law passed
by the present congress which contin-
ues the exclusion of Chinese laborers
| beyond 1904 would be not only without
international authority, but would be
| in violation of treaty stipulations. He
said that during the negotiations re-
| sulting in the treaty of 1894 the United
States sought to have the exclusion Of
Chinese laborers extended to 20 years
and that the Chinese government re-
fused to make it for more than 10
years. He also insisted that when
the treaty of 1894 came to an end the
Burlinghame treaty of 1868 would be.
revived and come into force, which
treaty stipulated for the free and unre-
stricted immigration of Chinese of all
classes into the United States. The
treaty, he said, had only been suspend
ed as to immigration, not abrogated.
His second proposition was that the
exclusion laws should not be made ap-
plicable to all our insular possessions
and said the Hawaiian possessions pre-
sented the exact state of affairs which
were contemplated by the American
negotiators of the exclusion treaty
when they gave the assurance that to
such a condition of affairs the exclu-
sion laws would not apply when the
interests of the islands asked for Chi
nese immigration and when it would
not in any way affect white labor
Mr.. Fosters third proposition was
that the existing exclusion laws and
those proposed are in clear disregard
of treaty stipulations. He cited the
provision of the treaty of 1894 which
guaranteed to all to all Chinese in tbs
United States the most favored nation
treatment and the provisions of trea-
ties with other nations guaranteeing
to them the same treatment as to the,
protection of their own persons and
property as that enjoyed by native cit
| liens.

SUGAR INTERESTS HEARD.
Continuation of the Cuban Reciprocity
s-o -Heari1us, 49,


Washington, Jan 24-The Cuban
and means committee were devoted
chiefly to the cane sugar interests of
Louisiana, who are opposing the pro
posed concessions to Cuba on the
ground that it will cripple the sugar
production of that state. A number of
the large planters and manufacturers
of the state were present and the al
lied interests of beet sugar, which are
similarly opposed to concessions to
Cuba, were numerous1y represented.
The opening statement in behalf OF
Louisiana was made by J. c. Hill of
New Orleans, an extensive planter.
He pointed out that there was no need
of making an appeal in behalf of Cuba
as the island was gifted by nature so
as to produce sugar at exceedingly
low rates which could enter into fair
competition with the rest of the world.
He compared the status of Cuba with
that of the South after the Civil war
and showed that the South had work
ed out its own salvation without max
ing appeals for special favors. Al
ready hundreds of millions of dollars
had been invested in sugar production
in Louisiana and the industry was still
far short of it's full capacity. He urged
that this industry should not be sub
ject to foreign competition which
would seriously injure if not destroy
it. Mr.. Hill suggested that the sugar
trust was behind the Cuban movement
and presented statements to show that
the results of concessions to Cuba
would make the sugar trust the real
beneficiary, constituting that organi.
cation a colossal monopoly in Cuba.

Burlington Not Likely to Build Beyond
a5s Great Falls. 4
Great Falls, Mon, Jan. 24.-En-
gineer b. M. Peterson of the Burling
ton and Missouri River company has
arrived in this city. He is en- route to
join the Burlington camp of engineers
at Stanford.
In an interview concerning the pro-
posed construction by the Burlington
of line from Billings to Great Falls
he said:
II think it. is safe to say that the
actual building of the Billings-Gre
Falls line will have been started
within three months. #
AS soon as a grade has been def
nitely ascertained then building from
the Billings end will begin. 1t is not
the opinion of those best posted that
the Burlington will ever reach the
coast by the, northern route. If it ever
does it probably will be from the Salt
Lake extension. Therefore, while we
probably will make westward survey
from here, it is generally accepted
that Great Falls will be the Western
terminus of the Burlington system"

TO PREVENT TRANSFER.
Suit Brought by Stockholders Of the
Great Northern.

Great Northern.
Minneapolis, Jan. 24.-The attorneys
of Milton l.. Bouden and Sophia Barth
Chapman filed petition for an injunc-
ton in the state district court here
against the Great Northern railway
and it's directors to prevent the trans
fer of it's stock to the Northern Sc
curities company. Bouden holds 400
and Mrs. Chapman 100 shares of Great
Northern stock. The attorneys are
the same as those who, in behalf of
Peter Power of New York, are seeking
in the United States district court to
have the retirement of the Northern
Pacific stock declared Illegal. The bill
of complaint sets up the well known
facts as to the attempted merger of
the Great Northern, Northern Pacific
and Burlington systems; alleges that
it is contrary to the statutes Of Mime
sofa. North Dakota, Montana and
Washington. and intended to destroy
all competition, and charges that the
separate organizations maintained are
merely nominal and intended to de-
ceive the public, the real management
and control being vested in the North
ern Securities company.

GOVERNOR TAFT's views.
Free Trade With the Philippines the
Best Plan.

- i.-lt-
San Francisco, Jan. 24.-Referring
to the Philippines tariff in speech be-
fore the Union League club prior to
his departure for the East Governor
w. H. Taft is reported to have said:
II know from reading your papers
and talking with some of your mer-
chants that you are anxious to have
free trade between the Philippines and
America. In many respects that would
be an admirable arrangement, if it
were possible to run the government
of the Philippines without indirect tax
alton involved in levying customs du-
ties. It would crafty the commission
very much If congress would take off
altogether the tariff imposed by the
Dingley bill. All we desire is to have
money enough to run a good govern
ment My view is that as soon as
trade is established and avenues
opened a small tariff will form very
slight, obstacle to the course of busi-
ness between the Philippines and Cal
+ ifOrnia."

TELEGRAPHIc MARKET LETTER

Minneapolis, Jan. 24.-Wheat as ex-
pected shows very little snap meeting
good support around Is and profit TAX
ing on every hard spot. Cables were
too weak to suggest investment and
general news quite favorable. Argen-
tine shipments were but $4,000 this
week against $4,000 last week and
169 last year. Minneapolis and Du-
luth received 3O5 cars against 1877 a
year ago and Chicago gets but % cars.
Weather throughout the west is
cloudy, promising snow in many
places but not where most needed.
Compared with a year ago prices are
about three cents higher for wheat,
with two million less in the visible.
We cannot understand why sentiment
should change from being SO bullish
when prices were 5 cents higher to
bearish on the decline, as conditions
have made no Improvement. Com
pared with corn and oats prices it
simply shows liquidation throughout
the list and as previously stated the
short interest now in wheat will soon
start bull market as bears are al
ready meeting strong opposition not
below but above Is cents.
Corn sold off after the opening
quite sharply. No disposition being
shown to support it. This is believed
to have been for the purpose of start
ing renewed wheat liquidation. Gables
came butt 11ssc lower and the receipts
but fifty cars. &
Prices appear yet too high in COM
parison with wheat which will event
ually result in short interest. But
it is several months before corn pros
poets will be. given consideration and
should the spring be unfavorable a
short interest trying to cover will put
it higher than ever. Be patient, the
turn will come. v
Oats are easily displaying sympathy
considering the cash demand and
prices offerings continue light and will
be lighter. 5..5-
