stormy Cabinet meeting at which
the President is, alleged to have
told his Secretary of Agriculture
that he was ''sick and tired of
having his expressions on the SUBJ
ject ''thrown in his face Mr..
Wilson, | am told, expressed re-
gret at having given utterance to
his views and assured Mr.. Roose-
velt that nothing more would be
heard from him on the subject.
He has persistently refused to ap-
pear before the Ways and Means
Committee, although it is we'll
known that he is adverse to any
reciprocal treaty which will lower
the duty on beet sugar. Of course
the above incident has given rise
to renewed gossip in regard to
Cabinet changes, but no change
in the Agricultural portfolio is
contemplated at this time.
The question of Chinese exclu-
sion is still being considered by
the Senate Committee on Immi-
grafton, and ex-Secretary of State
John w. Foster and Gen. 0. O.
Howard have both testified in OPP
position to the re-enactment of
the law, while Commissioner of
immigration Powderly has APP
peared in its support. Speaking
on the subject yesterday, Senator
Dubois, of Idaho, told me that he
was unalterably opposed to the
admission of the Chinese. 'sThey
can never be assimiIated," he
said, ''for the simple reason that
they do not want to be. The
most favorable laws would never
induce the Chinese in any consid-
erable numbers to become Amer
lean citizens. Their one aim is
to save a little money and return
home. All that they make they
send home as fast as they can
spare it. Entirely aside from the
labor aspect, we are opposed to
having among us race of men
| who are unwilling to become citi-
zens and who shirk. the RESPONSE
bilities of jury duty and suffrage.
| Such men can never have the best
interests of the country ut heart,
and that alone | believe to be suf.
ficient to warrant the position We
take. against their admission to the

Venezuela owes IL debt to Ger
many which for some cause she
refuses to pay. This has brought
about an ugly feeling between the
two nations. Germany is about
to adopt coersive measures TO
collect this debt, and it is feared
that she might do something
which will involve this govern
ment in trouble. The Monroe
doctrine will cut an important
figure in this matter, and it is
limited i'll Washington that dis
agreement between this country
and Germany has already occur
red. There is certainly move
ment of Importance going on, as
number of first-class vessels of
our navy are now sailing in locali-
ties not far removed from where
the Germans may want to do their
work against Venezuela. There
is strong and intelligent element
in this country who believe that a
war between the United States
and Germany is only a question
of time, and they believe that it
is just as we'll to thrash the Dutch
now as later on.

appearance. AS result, an effort VIII
be made at the m Getting of the committee
BY certain stall holders to have some or y
the regulations SO altered as TO best SUIT
their wishes and desires.
During the past month something over
$1,000 has been expended IN grazing anu
paving the entire market with 81 aAlo-
lithic. Al the time this action was ue-
cided upon. the Market ComInlttee
passed rules requiring al stall noiders
to erect their new stalls on certain s1ne,
and to make them uniform In height,
thus presenting much neater appear
ance than heretofore. In addition. 1t
was the desire of the committee to place
all Of the dealers on an equal footlng
to compete for business. not allowing
one to hold a stand that projected out
further than his neshbor. thereby getting
more than his siara of the trade by
shutting off his rivals display from the
eye of probable purchasers.
LADIES WE'LL PLEASED.
Since that time Mr.. R. L. Peters, chair
man Of the Market Committee. mas re-
ceived innumerable letters from ladies'
who frequent the Second Market every
day. and they are all of q most compi-
mentary nature. endorsing the improve
ments and encouraging the committee
to continue In Its good work. The rules.
too, are generally satisfactory to the
customers.
But in the face Of this, 1t appears that
number of stall holders are dtssans-
fed and propose to precipitate Tight
az the next meeting of the Market Com
mittee, If such is possible They think
that they should be allowed to erect their
stands to suit themselves, and not De
governed by any given set OF rules. In
deed, some have already commenced
work on their new stalls. and they pro-.
ject for a consid cradle space over the
line the committee named, and some feW
OF them do not extend to the height
adopted. They say that under no cir
cumstances will they pull down these
stalls and erect them In accordance with
the plan provided by the body which has
control of the market.
Chairman Peters was seen yesterday
afternoon In regard to the matter He.
explained the rules thoroughly. after
which he said the committee was deter.
mined to have them enforced. Unless those
merchants who have ignored the line
remedy their stalls In short time they
will be rdsred down.
