A RIGID BILL
The Celestial Diplomat is
Viry Cunninp in His Op-
position

Washington, May Minister Wu
is now taking very active
interest in the Chinese exclusion bill
and has been fighting it at every point.
He can talk to senators and represent
atives ''unofficially" and does so when
he happens TO meet them. He cannot

ments, but has taken the diplomatic
method of writing to the state depart
ment protesting against the proposed
law. More than this, prominent attor-
neys who are known to be employed
by the Chinese minister have appeared
before the committees of both senate
and house and argued against the
Mitchell Kahn bill. All Of the brainy
Chinaman's efforts, however, will be
unavailing There viii be Chinese
exclusion bill law, and the prospects
are that it will be much more drastic
than the present Geary law.

Representative Swanson Of Virginia
tells this one Oh himself: With his
family is one Of the old time darhes
of whom we read so much and see so
little This old man thought the repre-
sentative should spend more money,
should indulge in such luxuries as he
observed other men having and Of
