RAILWAY FACILITIES.
The Pennsylvania company's switch

Over 1000 feet of rails have been laid,
and the only cause of delay is that

ACTUAL CASH
Received Under VIII. Law

Received Under Willis Law.
Columbus, o., June 5.-For the first
time since the rush began the secre-
tary of state on Tuesday evening was
able to make known the exact amount
received under the Willis law to date.
Thus far 3115 Ohio corporations have
forwarded fees aggregating 1907, ,697.30.
A Conservative estimate places at $780,
900 the amount represented by reports
which. through q Misunderstanding
of the law. were not accompanied by
fees and. since the mails continue to be
almost as heavy as those of the last
two days Of the past week. there seems
to be not the slightest doubt that the
aggregate received from domestic cor
porations in the first year of the laws
operation will exceed 100000, the es-
innate made by Governor Nash.

NOT EXCLUSIVE
Chinks" May Creep In
Under Wording Of
New Law.

Washington, June 5.-Alarm has
been sounded by Pacific coast senators
and labor leaders over what they re-
gard as loophole in the recently-en-
acted Chinese exclusion law. The
words of the new act which trouble
them are $50 far as the same are not
inconsistent with treaty obligations
Does this mean with China" or with
all nations? If the latter, as attorneys
for the Chinese assert, the Chinese res
idents of Hong-Kong who have be-
come British subjects might come in
here freely. and some Central Ameri-
can country might go into the business
of naturalizing Chinese on easy terms
to take advantage of our treaty with
such a country.
The treasury holds that treaty obli-
cations with China are understood
from the context in the new law, and,
accordingly. exclude persons of the
Chinese race, wherever they come
from. unless they meet the conditions
laid down by law. This was the inter-
pretation made by Assistant Secretary
Taylor and submitted by him to Act
ing Solicitor Reeve, who gave an
opinion on the same side.
The Chinese. doubtless. will take
the matter to the courts unless in the
meantime congress regards the point
as serious enough to pass amendatory
legislation at this session. Senator
Turner. of Washington, already has
introduced bill to do this.

temporary club Of Indianapolis,
President Charles r. Thwing of the
Western Reserve university at CIeve-
land. g.. said a great many true things
about the modern daily newspaper He
expressed the belief. in spite of the
enormous sale of popular novels, that
the American nation is growing away
from the book habit The same thing
is true af the magazines. 1t is to the
newspapers that the people are turn
ing fcr their information on all sub
jects, says Professor Thwing.
He adds: There is one specially in
terestng characteristic of the cheap
daily paper. II is usually on the side
Of honesty and fair play. Ii supports
the course. Of iits constituency, the

Professor Thwing has not stated the
facts TOO broadly. He might 20 fur
thar and say that the cities of the coun-
try could dispense with their police
forces better than with their daily pa-
pers. Fear of exposure keeps more
men from crime than fear of punish
ment. If criminals knew that they
stood only in danger Of prison SEN

now accompanies such procedures. they
would be more willing to take chances.

ROOSEVELT ARD BOWERS.

M ANY OF THE ADMINISTRATION
4'A newspapers are doing a lot of
kow towing before the president for de-
Ginning to discharge a California inter-
nal revenue collector because the latter
had made some uncomplimentary re-
marks about him years ago. The col
lector is ". W. Bowers of Sacramento.
The story runs that when Mr.. Bowers
was in congress and President Roose-
welt was a member of the civil service
commission, the two had row over an
appointment.
Bowers was angry and publicly made
The statement, that young man. ROose-
welt, is fakir." Without in the least
intending to commit Iese majestic. it is
only fair to say that lots of other peo-
pie about that time entertained the
same opinion. Whether or not Mr..
Bowers was justified in expressing it.
is another question. When the matter
of his reappointment by President
Roosevelt came up, one Russell c. Al
len, who wanted the place, sought to
discredit Bowers with the president bv
seeing that Roosevelt heard Of the
''rakir" statement
The president is reported to have read
the published interview very carefully.
When he had finished he looked up and
said: Il shall reappoint Mr. Bowers.
lie is a good official. His personal opin-
ions of me twelve years ago have moth
ing to do with the case" There is
nothing in this to increase the admira-
ton with which President Roosevelt is
regarded by his friends. There is moth
ing in it to draw the love of those who
do ror admire him. Any other president
would have done the same thing under
similar circumstances.
II Roosevelt isn't big enough to for
get personal matters of twelve years
ago he isn't big enough to be the chief
magistrate of this nation. The fact that
Bowers called him a fakir dozen
years since isn't calculated to impair
the present efficiency of Bowers as a
collector of internal revenue. If Mr.
Roosevelt had allowed the incident to
interfere with his judgment. he would
have been about as smaH-minded as
the humblest OF ward politicians.

CONFIRMING a BISHOP.

THE CONFIRMATION of a bishop
in London must be at least as in
teresting as prize fight. Accounts of
the ceremony attending the installa-
ton Of Rev. Charles A. Gore as bishop
OF Worcester indicate that the proceed
ings were highly entertaining. When
the vicar general asked if anybody
desired to enter a protest the stiffness
wasn't a bit noticeable. Instead. half
the people present expressed a wish to
properly warm the new bishop.
When the protests were ruled out
enc John Kensit. an and-ritualist cru
sader, roughed things up considerably.
He charged the preIates with entering
into a conspiracy to elevate Gore and
declared that the whole proceeding was
q farce. Not until thrvats were made
to clear the hall was the hubbub sub
dued. Bishop Gore is now duly installed
ana he must fee. that he is rightly
named.
