PROTEST FROM CHINA
OBJECTION To CLOSING OF THE
DOOR IN THE PHILIPPINES.
United States Asked to Waive En-
forcement of the Exclusion Act
in the Archipelago.

WASHINGTON, April 1S.-The secretary
OF state to-day transmitted to the Senate
a communication from United States Min
lister Conger, inclosing a protest from the
Chinese government against the exclusion
of Chinese from the Philippine islands. The
communication from the Chinese govern
ment is as follows:
ION the 9th of the first moon of the
XVIII year Kuan Hsu (Feb. 1S 1902 L
received a petition from certain Chinese
merchants in the Philippines saying that
the United States officials are obstructing
the entrance of Chinese; that they have es-
tablished exclusion officers at the ports,
and that when Chinese arrive I'm the waters,
no matter whether they are labOrerS or
merchants, all are driven i'm together and
treated as criminals, and If there Is any
mistake made by them in their verbal state
ments they are not allowed to land, but are
compelled to return to China. l find on
examination that the Philippines are not
far from China, and that from the time OF
the Ming dynasty, which preceded the pres
ent down to to-day a large number of en-
igrants have gone there from Fukien and
the two Kuangs amounting TO hundred
thousand, more or less, and that 1t Is very
difficult to put stop 10 the coming ana
going of their families. acknowledges and
relatives. These emigrants were formerly
nl-treated and harrassed by the Spanish
government but they were never forbidden
to land or harshly driven back TO China.
Your honorable country has usually the
reputation of being lenient, and at present
your relations with China are especially
friendly. There are places to which the re-
strictions agreed upon in past treaties ap-
ply but while we are hoping that these Ie-
strictions may be entirely abrogated, there
has never been any treaty applying the re-
strictions to those islands. If no distinction
is To be made between laborers and mer-
chants, and severe regulations are 10 be ap-
plied TO that place also all are to be sub
iected to these harsh restrictions. l fear the
good reputation of your honorable country
will hardly be able TO escape injury
LAS in duty bound. | send this dispatch
TO your exceliency, requesting you to trans
NIT il TO your government and ask them to
adopt some plan To withdraw the Philip
pines from the operations of this harsh reg
ulation, so as to pacify the Chinese emil
grants. which will be amicable and just"

NEW YORK, April 1S.-When Lewis AL

tence. made shorter by Communication. for

His freedom will be brief according to the
Herald. At the door of the prison he prob

charging him with the embezzlement of an

Lewis Alfred Balensi. or. as he is known
in this country. William \. Bellwood. was
born in Paris forty-nine years ago. In 1891
he organized the Societe Franchise de
Banque ct de Change. purporting to do A
general stock exchange brokerage busi-
ness. Balensi was the managing director
All went well for five years. then RaIensi
disappeared. Two weeks later the Tribunal
of Commerce of the Seine declared the So
ciety bankrupt. and a similar judgment was
pronounced against Balensi. The investi-
cations proceeded. and finally the chamber
of indictments of the Court of Appeals of
Paris declared on July 16 1897. that Ralensi
had not only misapprOpriated & SOO O0O
francs. but also had converted to his own
use a large quantity of valuable jewelry
which had been intrusted TO his care His
arrest was ordered.

NO UNIVERSAL SUFFRAGE.
Proposition to Revive the Belgian
Constitution Defeated.

BRUSSELS, April 1S.-The Chamber of
Deputies to-day, by 81 to 64 votes, rejected
the proposal to revise the Belgian consti-
tuition so as to provide for universal suf-
frage. The debate to-day followed yester-
days lines Nj. Smeets, Socialist, accused
the government of being anxious to let
loose sc, 600 soldiers against their brethren
but they would be unable to exterminate
socialism, he added. and enough Socialists
would remain to continue the struggle AS
the government was not willing TO counsel
the King to do his duty. nothing was left
but for the Socialists to address his Males
ty direct and plead for his intervention
If he but said the word peace would he
re-established. After other speeches the
vote was taken.
NJ Woeste the leader Of the Right party
i'm the chamber, when summing up the de
n vote hostile TO revision of the Constitu-
tion did not imply absolute hostility 10 re-
form if this were discussed in peaceful
times. The government supporters are
prepared" said NJ. Woeste. Ito consider
proposals for reform in plural voting, al
though they could not go as far as uni
versal suffrage pure and simple" This
speech is regarded as showing the willing
ness of the government TO grant partial
reform in the future.
Great excitement followed the vote i'm the
chamber. The Socialists held a meeting i'm
the Maison du Peuple at which NJ. Van der
Nelde. the leader of the Socialist movement
in Belgium, urged his hearers to be calm.
and said he hoped King Leopold would still
intervene. His speech took a conciiatory
form. He indicated the dangers attending
the insurrection of an almost weaponless
people against organized forces of police
and military. and said a struggle by meth
DDS Of violence was quite hopeless The
people could only adopt pacific means. The
speaker said he trusted the King would
arbitrate in the difficulty. If" he con-
tinued. his Majesty does this we while
preserving our ideal will for the present
leave aside all idea of realizing it, The
Belgian people should kneel at the throne
and say. We are hungry. but we want JUS

This speech is regarded as showing that
the Socialists accept defeat. The meeting
passed "A resolution 10 continue the strike

WILL ACCEPT THE BOND
AUDENCIA COURT AT HAVANA RE
CONSIDERS ITS RULING.
Radhbone to BE Released If Bond he
Drawn Before n Notary-Cu-
bans Propose Pardons.

HAVANA, April 1S-Late to-day the Au-
dencia Court accepted the bond of 100000
offered by fidelity company for the ap-
pearance of Estes q. Rathbone. The court
requires, however, that this bond be drawn
before a notary. This involves much time
and expense, as the notaries' fees and a
state tax must be paid.
Rathbone's attorneys insist that the
habeas corpus proceedings be continued.
and claim that the bond should be drawn
before the court, as IS customary, without
further delay or further expense. In the
habeas corpus petition Rathbone's attor-
neys declare the courts delay illegal and
intimate that the court may be impeached
for such action. The habeas corpus petl-
tion will be heard tomorrow.
A number of Cuban senators and repre-
sentatiVes-elect have sent a telegram to
President-elect Estrada Palma al Gibara
petitioning him to ask the United States
to pardon all Americans now under arrest
in Cuba. Rathbone's case seems to have
stirred Cuban sentiment strongly in his
favor and the movement to ask for gen.
eral pardon is prompted by this sentiment.
A majority of the newspapers in Havana
comment adversely on the order recently
issued by Governor General Wood making
il Impossible. so the papers declare, TO re-
move members of the present judiciary

Peter A. Hallenbeck, Last
Christmas Eve.

HUDSON, n. Y, April 1S.-The jury In
the case of Burton, Willis and Frederick
Van Wormer, charged with the murder OF
their uncle, Peter A. Hallenbeck, to-day
returned a verdict of murder in the first
degree against all three of the accused.

cousin. who is also under indictment for
participation in the murder, drove to the
Hallenbeck home at Greenport, this, Co
lumbia county. The young men wore false
faces and also wore their coats turned in
side out Hallenback, who was a very old
man, opened the door in response to their
knock and as he did so, they fired upon
him, infiicting wounds of which he died in
a short time At their trial, which lasted
about two weeks, the accused men declared
they went to Hallenbecks 5 house merely
for the purpose of frightening him, with
no thought of injuring him. Bruce, who
secured a separate trial, testified against
the brothers.

He VIII Have About One Hundred Men
at His Disposal to Prevent
Confusion.
GREAT NUMBER OF DELEGATES
CANDIDATES WILL NOT BE ALLOWED
ON MAIN FLOOR.


Samuel Z. Kercheval, who is to act as
sergeant-at-arms during the Republican
state convention next week, will have
nearly a hundred men at his disposal, and
it is the purpose to take care of as many
people as possible with the least possible
confusion. Each member of the state COM
mittee was accorded the privilege of nam
ing an assistant sergeant-at-arms from his
district. This gave thirteen to start with.
In addition Mr.. Kercheval will appoint
about twenty-five men. who will also act
assistants on the floor of the conven-
tion. He will also appoint eighteen door
keepers and will have about thirty of the
city police at his disposal.
1t is the plan this year to allow no one
on the floor of the convention hall except
delegates, their alternates and the officers
of the convention. 1t has been suggested
that provision be made 10 seat candidates
on the stage. The suggestion came
from some of the candidates them
selves. The state committee will take
this matter up at its meeting Tuesday.
and If Ii is decided to adopt the suggestion
all the candidates will be provided with
stage seats and none will be allowed on
the floor of the hall. Neither will their
friends be allowed there unless they are
delegates. Seats will be arranged on the
stage, one above another, in stairstep style
so that all can see. Women who come to
the convention with escorts who hold tick
cts will be allowed on the stage or in some
parts of the balconies. A special place has
been arranged in the balcony for women
who come to the. convention unattended
Balcony tickets will be issued and those
who come first will get the seats. No
places will be reserved. ''The reason &"
said Mr.. Kercheval yesterday that no one
will be allowed on the floor except dele
gates, alternates and officers is that be-
cause the floor will accommodate no more
there" At state committee headquarters
they were busy yesterday getting the tick
cts in readiness for the convention Each
ticket will contain a coupon. At the first
session the coupon will be torn off and at
the second session the ticket itself will be
taken up.
There is a big demand for tickets AL
ready. 1t is believed there will be an i'm
mense crowd at the convention Wednesday
afternoon when oratory from gifted men
will be the chief attraction. On this occa-
sion ii is expected that there will be
speeches by Senators Fairbanks and Beve-
er house of Congress. 1t is expected that
all of the congressman will be here ex-
cept Mr.. Holiday, who recently returned
TO Washington from his home at Brazil.
He was called home by the death of a rel
ative. and he has only recently gone
back TO his work he will not come out TO
the convention.
