some time.
The principal establishment OF Swift

ney by Buchanan is that Hail. for some

holding back the business receipts OF

JOHN W. FOSTER GIVES THE SEN
ATE THE BENEFIT Or HIS
VIEWS.
OPPOSED TO PROPOSED BILL
Explained That the Old Treaty Would
Come in Effect " men Last One Ex-
pired-Said Chinese Beneficial
to Hawaiian Islands.
] .4@D,,
(By Associated Press.)

Washington. Jan 23.-Former Secre-
tary of State John w. Foster appeared
before the senate committee on immi-
grafton today and spoke In opposition to
the Chinese exclusion bills which have
been introduced in congress.
His remarks We're directed more par
ticularly to the Mitchell or Pacific coast
bill, which, he said. was plain viola
tion of our treaty with China.
Mr.. Foster said our government had
four times asked China to modify exist
ing 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 continues
the exclusion of Chinese laborers beyond
1904, would be not only without inter-
national authority but will be in VIOLA
tion OF treaty stipulations.
He said that during the negotiations
resulting 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 II for more than 10 years.
He also insisted that when the treaty
of 1894 came to an end the Burlingame
treaty Ol loOo Woulu DS itNiNSu oi' N"'''S
into force, which treaty stipulated for
the free and unrestricted immigration of
Chinese of all classes into the United
States. The treaty. he said, had only
been suspended as to immigration, not
abrogated.
Should Not Apply to Islands.
His second proposition was that the
exclusion laws should not be made ap-
plicable to all our insular possessions
and said the Hawaiian islands presented
the exact state of affairs which was
contemplated by the American negotia-
tors for the exclusion treaty, In which
they gave the assurance that to such a
condition of affairs the exclusion law
would naturally when all the interests
of the islands asked for Chinese immi-
grafton and the local authorities agreed
that 1t would not in any way affect
white labor.
Mr.. Fosters third proposition was
that the existing exclusion laws and the
legislation proposed are In clear disre-
gard to the treaty stipulations.
He cited the provision of the treaty
of 1894, which guaranteed to all Chinese
In the United States the most favored
nation treatment and the privileges oi
treaties with other nations guarantee
ing to them the same treatment as tc
the protection of their persons and porp-
critics as that enjoyed by native citizens

CHAPTER XVIII.


The doctor started at the heels of the cor
poral, but was distanced long before he
reached the scene. The sergeant of the
guard was hammering on the front door OF
Blake's quarters; but, before the summons
was answered from within, Mrs. Ray, in
long. loose wrapper, came hurrying forth
from her own-the adjoining-hallway. Her
face was white with dread. 1T Is l. Nan
ME. Let US in she cried. and the door
was opened by a terrified servant as the
doctor came painting up the steps. Together
he and Mrs. Ray hurried in. Robbers
gasped the servant girl-"Gone-the back
wayv' and collapsed on the stairs. Ser
geant and corporal both tore around to the
sign of fugitives coSld they see, and, what
was worse, not sign of sentry. Number

knowing what to expect. BY that time
others OF the guard had got there and the
officer of the day was coming-the clink of
his sword could be heard down the road,
and more windows were uplifted and more
voices were begging for information, and
then came Mrs. Dade. breathless but calm.
Within doors she found the doctor min

with much hauteur of manner took prompt
but ceremoniouS leave.
And when morning came and Fort Frayne
awoke to another busy day, as If the ex-
elements of the night gone by had not
been enough for it, a new story went buzz
ing with the first call for guard mount,
about the garrison; and, bigger even than
yesterday, the two details, in soldier 81
lence, began to gather in front of the in
fantry quarters. Major Flint had ordered
sentries posted at the traders home, with
directions that Mrs. Hay was not to be al
lowed outside her gate, and no one, man or
woman, permitted to approach her from
without except by express permission or
the post commander. General Harvey and
Dan, the two best horses of the traders
stable, despite the presence of the sentry
at the front, had been distracted some time
during the earlier hours of the night, and
later traced to the ford at Stabber,s old
camp and, with Pete and Crapaud, dcuDt-
less, were gone.
That day the major wired to Omaha that
he should be reinforced at once. One-half
his little force, he said, was now mounted
each day for guard, and the men cou-dn
stand it. The general, of course, was in
the field, but his chief of staff remained at
headquarters and was empowered to order
troops from post to post within the limits
of the department. Flint hoped two more
companies could come at once, and he did
not care what post was denuded in his ia
vor. His, he said, was close to the Indian
lands-separated from them, in fact, only
ny d udIIOW dAu lOiudOiC ilNSA' AAS A'A
dams were all on the warpath, and, aware
of his puny numbers, might be tempted at
any moment to quit the mountains and
concentrate on him. Moreover, he was sat
isfied there had been frequent communica-
ton between their leaders and the house
hold of the post trader at Fort Frayne. He
was sure Mrs. Hay had been giving them
valuable Information, and he expected soon
to be able to prove very serious charges
against her.
Meantime, he had placed her under sur
veillance. THAT she had been ever since
his coming, although she never realized IT'D
Fancy the sensation created at Omaha,
where the Hays were well known, when
this news was received! Flint did not say
under arrest" guarded day and night by
a brace of sentries who were sorely dis
gusted with their duty. He had no. doubt
his appeals for more troops would be hon.
ored, in view of his strenuous representa-
tions but the day passed without assurance
to that effect and without a wired word to
say his action regarding Mrs Hay had been
approved. 1t began to worry him. At 3
pm. Mrs. Hay sent and begged him to call
upon her that she might assure and con-
vince him Of her innocence. But this the
major found means to refuse, promising,
however, q meeting in the near future, after
he had received tidings from the front,
which he was awaiting and expecting every
moment. He had reluctantly given permits
sion to visit her to Mrs. Dade. Mrs. Ray

hearts were filed with sympathy and sor-
row, and their heads with bewilderment.
