THE CHINESE ExCLUSIONA ACT.

The newly enacted Chinese exclusion
 law is to have an interesting test. No-
 tice has been served on the immigra- ton officials that at the first opportuni- ty a protest will be made against the
 exclusion of Chinese who are subjects of a power or nation other than China. made on the case of subjects of Mexico. It is learned that the plan is for cou- ple of Chinese who are subjects of Mex leo to present themselves for adms- sion. According to the directions of the Washington authorities, this will be promptly denied. Application will then be made by attorneys for the Mexican subjects for writ of habeas corpus, when the contention will be made that the new law does not exclude Chinese who are not subjects of China. This claim will be based on the clause in the law which says that the old Chinese exclusion laws shall be enforced "so far as the same are not inconsistent with treaty obligations" It is claimed that by the terms of existing treaties with foreign nations other than China the subjects of those nations are entitled to free entry into the United States, There are hundreds of thousands of Chinese who are not subjects of China, and it is claimed that all of these men are eligi- ble for admission into the United States under the new law.
 Senators who were connected with the drafting of the new law say that it will be as effective in excluding Chinese who are subjects of China, and of Great Britain, Mexico and other governments, as was the old law which it supersedes. Able lawyers have expressed a directly opposite view. A firm of Washington

USEFUL ALCOHOL.

The use that is being made of alcohol
 in Germany to produce heat, light and
 power is one of the most remarkable
 things in that remarkable country. It
 appears that the entire business has grown up since 1887. A law was passed in that year maintaining a high revenue tax on alcohol prepared for drink, but exempting from all tax denaturised al- cohol prepared for industrial use. Un- cohol in Germany has grown great, the quantity used last year being 30,G42, 700 gallons. Alcohol is produced from po- tatoes by processes simple enough to be applied by every farmer. The result Is that Germany produces her own motive power for army, public and private mo- tor wagons, for machinery of various kinds, and also a good material for heating, cooking and illuminative pur- poses. It has been found that for mo- tor purposes 28 per cent. of the theoretic energy of alcohol can be utilized against maximum of 15 per cent, in case of petroleum and it's products, and this advantage in favor of alcohol is still further increased by an admixture of 16 per cent. of benzol Another ad- vantage for motor wagons and for en- zines used in creameries or other man plants in the neighborhood of dwellings is that the alcohol gives off no odors.
 If the people of this country aren't going to be able to buy coal perhaps they can buy alcohol, if the alcohol trust will let them.

 SOME GOOD ADVICE.

MT. James J. Hill, one of the found CTS of the Great Northern Securities Company, ought to be able to talk intel ligently about the way to deal with trusts, and it seems that he is. He has just told the Illinois Manufacturers Association that the only serious objec- ton to so-called trusts has been the method of creating them for the pur- pose of selling sheaves of printed secur- ities which represent nothing more than good will and prospective profits to the promoters. If it is the desire of the government to prevent the growth of such corporations, it has seemed to MT. Hill that a simple remedy was within it's reach. Under the constitutional pro- vision allowing Congress to regulate commerce between the States, all com- panies desiring to transact business outside of the State in which they are incorporated should be held to a uni- form provision Of federal law. They should satisfy a commission that their capital stock was actually paid up in cash or in property, at a fair valuation, just as the capital of the national bank is certified to be paid up.
 This is certainly good advice and acting on it would do much to abolish some of the evils that are now com- plained of Perhaps it will be acted on along about Millennium time.

attorneys which was engaged by the American Federation of Labor has looked into the matter, and has given it's opinion that the law will not keep out Chinese who are subjects of govern ments other than that of China. It will be decidedly interesting if it is discov- cred that there is a hole in the new law through which many Chinamen can come into this country.

Several communications have recently reached the Philadelphia Record asking if the original copy of the Declaration of Independence was in existence, and if duplicate copies could be had.

The interest lately excited in Eng land in what is known as the red light treatment" of smallpox, wherein the patient is confined in a room into which only red light is admitted, calls attention to the remarkable way in which modern science seems to revive empirical methods of the past. Even so far back as the reign of Edward ". smallpox patients were treated by wrapping them in red covers and put ing red balls in the bed. It was thus that John of Gaddesden treated prince of Wales This method has also been noticed as a popular custom in Roumania In recent years, too, a French surgeon has told of smallpox patients in Tonuuin being isolated in alcoves almost darkened by red carpet hangings, and of wonderful cures en- suing. In Japan the patients were cov- cred by red blankets, and the children given red toys to play with.

Washington, Feb. 9.-Conditions have

demand for officers, both on shore and

resort to it's last available resource and
call upon this years graduating class
Of naval cadets at Annapolis to meet
an emergency which promises to be-
come more serious to the government.
The class which should graduate next

ployed in the patrol work around the

This has been directed only in emer-
gencies, and only then during war

take this action on account of the OPP

Philippine HEARING.
Gov. Taft Speaks Of Friars' Holdings,
Interest Rates, etc.

Washington, Feb. Sat Saturdays
hearing before the Senate committee on
the Philippines, Senator Rawlins ques-
toned Gov. Taft concerning the hold
ings of the friars. The governor said
he thought the general opinion as to
the wealth and holdings of the friars
had been greatly exaggerated. He did
not believe. for instance, that they had
three-fourths of the property owned ir
the cities. That, however, the religious
was evidenced by the fact that they
make loans.
Gov. Taft said that the Philippine
government is DESTROYS of purchasing
the Manila property held by the friars
and that it would also be desirable to
secure their holdings of agricultural
lands.
In connection with the loaning OF
money by the friars, Senator Lodge
asked about the necessity for a bank.
ing law. and the witness replied that
such law is badly needed.
Gov. Taft said that interest rates in
the Philippines are as high as from q
to 10 per cent, and that it is very nee.
essary that there should be authority
for granting franchises to financial
concerns which would reduce the inter-
est charges.
AS to coinage, Gov. Taft said it is de-
sirable that the gold dollar should be
established as a basis. He also advo-
Gated token coin which should be ex.
changeable for gold and the parity as
sured by the United States. This, he
said, is the plan of the commission, and
he believed it wise. This plan embraced
the coinage Of a Philippine peso and
the circulation of this coin, he thought,
should he confined to the islands.
Referring to the suggestion that
United States money should be adopted
Gov. Taft said if this were done it
would have the effect of increasing the
value of the peso to the extent of 30 per
cent. and this would unsettle transac-
lions. This plan also would have the
effect of raising the price of wages and
disturbing business relations.
Taking up another point Of admins
tratiOn, Gov. Taft advocated the right
of appeal in certain cases to the SUI
preme court of the United States, es-
pecially in such cases as would involve
tHe ieidliohSHiP VI Church idHOS 10 the
government. He urged the granting Of
power to the commission to give fran
Chises for steam and electric railways
and light plants, and also made an ar
gument for authority to create bond
ed debt of $4,000, 900 for local improve
ments in Manila.
He thought no franchise should be
perpetual. He would also have a wider
margin given in the matter of cutting
timber. There is magnificent timber
through the islands, he said, and it
would be beneficial to the- forests to
take much of it out.

A NOTABLE EXCEPTION.
President Approves Every Promotion
Recommendation but His Own.

Washington, Feb. 9.-The President
has approved, with one notable excep-
ton, all the recommendations made by
the army brevet board, of which Gen.
eral Macarthur was president, for the
bestowal of brevet rank on all the off,
GERS of the army who rendered especi-
ally meritorious services during the
war with Spain and in the subsequent
campaigns in the Philippines and
China.
The exception noted is the case of
Theodore Roosevelt, who was awarded
the brevets of colonel and brigadier
general for distinguished service at San
Juan. Santiago.
Under the law these brevets require
the confirmation of the Senate. and the
nominations have been made out for
transmission to that body next week.
but. as already stated, the list will not
contain the name Of the President.
1t is expected that the medals of
honor and certificates Of merit recon-
mended by the board for individual
gallantry. which also have been ap-
proved by the President, will be an
nounced at the war department, next
week. These awards do not require the
sanction of the Senate.

INDUSTRIAL COMMISSION,
Further Recommendations Cuiled from
Report Just Made.

Washington, Feb. 9.-The second part
of the report of the industrial COM
mission made public, today, covers
manufacturers and industrial combina-
lions and in it's recommendations
quotes from it's reports to Congress in
1900, in which it then recommended:
That the promoters and organizers of
corporations or Industrial combinations
which look to the public to purchase
or deal in their stocks or securities,
should be required to furnish full de-
tails regarding the organization;
That any prospectus or announce
ment of any kind soliciting subscrip-
tons, which fails to make full disclose
ures as aforesaid. or which is false,
should be deemed fraudulent and that
all information concerning the cor
poration should be open to investors
and that the larger corporations-the
sO-called trusts-shOuld be required to
publish annually properly audited re-
port, showing in reasonable detail their
assets and liabilities with profit or
loss; such report and audit under oath
to be subject to government inspec-
ton.
In addition to the above the COM
mission recommends:
That district attorneys of the United
States be authorized and directed to
institute proceedings for the violation
Of the federal antitrust laws;
That combinations and cOnspiracies,
in the form of trusts or otherwise in
restraint of trade or production, which
(, by the concensus of judicial opinion are
unlawful, should be so declared by
legislation uniform in all jurisdictions
and as to all persons, and such statutes
4 should be thoroughly enforced;
That stringent laws be enacted by
the Congress and the several state
Legislatures, making both penal and
criminal the vicious practice of dis
eliminating between customers and
cutting rates or prices in one locality
below those which prevail generally
for the purpose of destroying local
competition and that such laws should
give to any person damaged, the right
to sue for and recover the prescribed
penalties, and make it the duty of
prosecuting officers to proceed against
the offenders
