COMMISSIONER BARRETT DEPARTS.
Begins HIS Journey to the Orient As
Exposition Diplomat.

John Barrett, the Commissioner Genera,
for the Louisiana Purchase Exposition to
Asia, Australia and the Philippines, lefl
st. Louis last night for the Pacific Coast
to begin his extended journey to the Orien,
and to execute his hign diplomatic mission
Francisco April 3 on the steamer China for
Honolulu. From there he will proceed to
Japan. After devoting about a month to
Japan he will go in turn to China. Korea
the philippines, French Indo-Cbina. Siam.
Straits Settlements. Java. BuImah. India.
Ceylon, Australia and New Zealand. The
itinerary of the Commissioner General will
cover some 5000 miles and occupy nearly
nine months.
President Roosevelt has given special d.
partments to assist him. In consequence
Secretaries Hay. Root and Long have is,
sued Instructions to all Ministers and
fcers In the Asiatic station. to cooperate
with him to advance the interests OF the
Louisiana Purchase Exposition in transpa-
cific countries.
4 is hoped that President Roosevelt's at
titude will have most favorable influence
on the governments Of the far East and
South Pacific.
Mr.. Barrett's departure has been delayed
by important negotiations in Washington
with the Ministers of Japan, China, Korea
and Siam. but the results of his labors have
been ample recompense for the time spent
at the capital. President Roosevelt and
Secretary Hay both gave him full credit for
the diplomatic achievement of securing
Japan's reconsideration of her first declina-
tion to participate. China. moreover. was
on the danger point of reconsidering her ac-
ceptance, on account Of certain drastic pro
visions in the exclusion bill before Con-
gress, when the Commissioner Generai Sc
cured the necessary change in this section
of the bill, which was hostile to Chinese
participation in eXpositions and convinced
Minister WI Tiag-fang that China would
make serious mistake by withdrawing her
acceptance.
The experience and record of Mr. Barrett
as United States Minister to Siam and later
as plenipotentiary delegate to the Pan
American Congress in Mexico will greatly
facilitate his labors in his present highly
responsible mission. Probably few other
men are better known in the far East than
he. while he has established a reputation
at home in America as one of the leading
advocates of the development of our Pacific
commerce and trade. Mr.. Barrett will be
accompanied on his journey by Mr.. Theo-
doTe Hardee. late special agent of the Post
Office Department, as secretary.
The Commissioner General goes first from
here to Portland. Ore, and Seattle. and
then to San Francisco to take the steamer
as already stated.

nent price Of Is cents be levied thereon;
and against the unlawful use of their in
vested funds by private individuals, or cor

moneys due to the two tribes be paid out In
per capita payments Immediately after the
