Washington. May ia special to

the Chinese exclusion act. approved
May ). On examination they discover
as legal propositions that inasmuch
as the act providens that it shall only
be effective when mot inconsistent
with treaty obligations" Chinese who
are subjects or citizens of countries
other than China are entitled to free
admissnion to the United States, as a
rule. because treaty obligations with
countries other than China. provides
| that their respective citizens or sub
jects shall have as full right OF admins

as may be granted the most favored ma
tions. Under the act now passed no
distinction can be made between citi-
zens or subjects OF Chinese birth or
descent, and citizens and subjects OF
any other race. they not being subjects
of the Emperor of China. Consequently
1t is found that millions OF Chinese in
the Malay peninsula who are not sub
jects of China, but are subjects OF
Great Britain. and the Chinese OF
Hongkong, who also are subjects Of
Great Britain. are entitled to free ad
mission TO this country.

nevertheless. inasmuch as II Is only
operative when consistent with treaty
obligations. and inasmuch as the Bur-
linghame treaty (Which in this respect
is in full force, provides that sub
jects of China shall have as full rights
OF travel within the limits OF the
United States, as subjects or citizens
OF the most favored nations. to exclude
Chinescn subjects living in the Philip
pine islands from the United States

tions This part OF the act can only
be made to apply to those OF Chinese

admitted to this country.
Again the new act, while purporting
to extend to existing exclusion laws.
only extends them when not incon-
sistent with treaty obligations. Our
treaty with China permitting the pro-
nibition OF immigration expires De-
Cember I. 1904 and inasmuCh as We
have no other treaty with China per
hitting prohibition OF immigration,
but on the contrary, other treaties eth
er expressly permit immigration or,
according to the treaty Of 1850. only
tolerate suspension or limitation, no
other prohibition will be operative at'
ter the date named. because thereafter
prohibition will be inconsistent with
treaty obligationsn.

the result of the present agitation foy
the new exclusion act Is only a con-
tinuanCe OF the present acts, insofar as
they exclude Chinese subjects OF tn"
, Emperor of China from entering this
country until December :, 1904.
