The debate on the Chinese sxclu- sion bill is being prolonged beyond the point at which Senator Penrose believed it would close; not that there is any great diversity of opinions as to the expediency of excluding Chinese laborers from this country, but be- cause it is feared that some of the provisions of the new bill may be in violation of our treaty with China and it is regarded as most important to stand by the treaty and so preserve the "open door, to the orient. This is the view taken by Senator Cullom of Illinois and ably set forth by him in a speech which he made on the sub- ject on Tuesday. It would not be a matter of surprise to see the senators tire of the discussion of the present measure and re-enaet the Geary law at any time.

Steyn, Be Wet and Delarey Meet nt
 KIerl&sdorp.
 KIERKSDORP, Transyaal Colony, April 12.-The representatives of the Orange Free State and the Transvaai governments held conferences yester- day. The deliberations were confined to the delegates, and no communica- ton was allowed with outsiders.
 A flag of truce arrived at the British outposts about Il o'clock in the morn ing with message stating that Steyn, De Wet and Delarey wished to come in. An officer was sent out with an es- cort, and about noon the Boer leaders arrived in Cape carts.
 The representatives of the Free State are quartered in the old town, while Delarey, as representing the Trans vaal, has joined the Transvaa1 Boers in the new town. They are suitably guarded. Communication is permitted between the two parties.
 Delarey is accompanied by his secre- tary, Ferreia, and about q dozen oth- CTS. The tent in which the conferences will take place is pitched midway be- tween the old and new townships, near the spruit.

There is fair reason to hope that in
 spite. of occasional signs of reaction
 we shall have another year of pros
 periety, writes Banker Clews in his
 weekly letter. Consumption of all
 kinds of manufactured products is still
 going to be at an unprecedented scale,
 and high prices do not yet seem to have
 checked demand. Railroad earnings
 continue to show liberal gains over
 the phenomenal returns of last year;
 and if the harvest of 1902 should prove to be an average one general business
 is likely to continue on liberal scale.
 While the winter wheat crop shows considerable decline in condition, compared with December, the indica- tions are still for a good-sized crop.
 Very likely the first real setback will come in Wall street, which will be the
 irst to feel the effects of overriding, and the first to anticipate any reaction. It is perfectly true, however, to say that Wall street does not feel any apprehensions on that score; on the contrary there is feeling of reason able optimism in the street, which is quite likely to be reflected in a higher range of prices. AS we have said be- fore, good investments are exceedingly scarce and there is plenty of money to invest; so that while prices are high it is impossible to say they cannot go higher under favorable conditions. The market has had fully six months of rest, during which the weak spots have been pretty we'll eliminated; and legal uncertainties affecting the merger deals are not likely to receive much for some time to come. With good crops there would be little want ing just now to give us a better market than confident leadership. Whether that will be forthcoming or not re- mains to be seen.

A VALUABLE MEDICINE

For Coughs and Colds in Children.
 T have not the slightest hesitancy in recommending Chamberlain's Coug- Remedy to all who are suffering frou coughs or colds" says Charles NJ Cramer, Esq, well known watch maker of Colombo, Ceylon. Tt Ina been some two years since the city di, pensary first called my attention to thi valuable medicine and I have repeated ly used it and it has always been bene. ficial. It has cured me quickly of all chest colds. It is especially effeetiya for children and seldom takes more than one bottle to cure them of hoarse. ness. I have persuaded many to try this valuable medicine, and they are as well pleased as myself over the re- suits. For sale by all druggists.

In another column of the Democsat to-day will be found an interesting letter from William J. Hampton. Who is this Hampton? will be asked. We'll, he is the man that dished up in Fame an article refiecting on the journalistic attitude of the American in refusing aid to the Republican on the night of Waterbury's big fire. Hampton got his story from someone who had been told by someone else that Waterbury had a big fire, and few other things that might have been left unsaid. However, Lampton's article might have passed muster had he, or some one else. not sent marked copy to Editor Chapin. That's what can be called the last straw. and on receipt of the marked copy, as has already been told, Editor Chapin waxed wroth and hied himself to the presence of Editor Pape. All that was publishable of that interview has already been

He says: Nowhere else in the world are crowds 'so well behaved as in America, and they themselves are their own con- trollers.

The next day the women threw water on the men. This piece of i1n- ported folk lore has it's origin in an- cient rules of courtship, in which the men express their domination over the women, and the latter retort by the use of cold water to put "damper'' on the love-making.
