to correct what he regards a misnterpretation
OF his attitude toward the labOring men of the
United States in regard to the Chinese Exclusion
act The minister said:
There seems to be some misunderstanding with
regard to the letter | wrote TO the State Depart
ment concerning the Chinese Exclusion act now be-
fore Congress. l am told that the impression pre-
walls that antagonize the laboring of this
country. That is not true. have never said any
thing cast the slightest reflection the la
borers of America, who are useful members OF a
community. Why, even in China. according to
classification of professions, the workingman ranks
higher than the merchant and tradesman. This
shows how China appreciates him. and nothing
further from my thoughts than to say anything
which could be construed rejecting upon this
class.

A Valuable Violin

Breda Waterman: An old An

owned by young man who works

pany at that place who not know
ing the real value of the instru-
ment, was advised by friends to
take it to Omaha and have the re-
nowned violinist, Kubelik, ex-
anime same. Kubelik said it was
q genuine Stradivarius violin and
worth between So, 900 and $4,000.
The young man brought the violin
along with him when he came
from Germany and has always re-
tanned it in his possession. Had
it not been for a friend who saw
