The new Chinese exclusion bill
framed by the Pacific coast delegation
and which will be considered by the
present congress is very severe, the
delegation having apparently considered
1t unnecessary to accord the Cinnamon
any great degree OF privilege. The new
bill lreenacts the prominent features Of
the Geary law with number Of addi.
tions and iis whole tcnor is more In.
tense than the former law. The new
bill would exclude Chinese from our
new possessions; Hawaii, Porto Rico
and the Philippines and also prohibits
the Chinese in these territories from
entering the United States proper.
Chinese now residents OF the United
States are barred from becoming citizens.
Chinese may pass through the United
States by satisfactorily establishing the
TACT that their destination is some point
beyond. Amy Cinnamon found tosti.
Tying falsely in regard to rights of
Chinese TO remain here shall bo subject,
to deportation, Only those Chinese who
are already established residents shall
have right to remain here. More
stringent measures than formerly for
the enforcement OF this law are pro.
yided.

come a great favorite With theater goers,

tensely dramatic in action, and, while

Of the passages are very pathetic, and
there are scenes in which the element ol
