IREEGULARITY MARKS THE

NEW YORK, Oct 2o.-Irregularity marked
the course of today's stock market Inc con-

the rise in foreign exchange ana the threat

latest railroad combination. There was some

NIPPED JAIL DELIVERY.
Prisoners and Their Friends Plan to Kill
Guards,
(By Associated Press.)

NEWARK, Nj, April 17.-Warden
Hosp, of the county jail here, was told
last night that preparations had been
made by the prisoners for a general jail
delivery next Saturday night He at once
went to the cells Of John Wyckoff, await
ing trial for murder, and John Mcdonald,
who has pleaded guilty to highway rob-
Terry, and found several bars of the cell
doors sawed through, the sawed places
telrg filled with soap. Eight other pris-
oners are said to have been in the plot.
The ten were moved to other cells where
they could hold no communication with
each other.
The warden says his information is that
a band of men from Philadelphia was to
be on hand Saturday night to assist the
prisoners in getting away. Inside the flll
the Waterman, while making his rounds
as he passed the cells where the bars
were cut was to be knocked down with
one of the bars taken from the door. His
revolver and keys were to be taken, and.
armed with the bars, the men were to
fight their way out. They would en-
counter two other watchmen, but as there
were to be ten in the escaping party they
would be easily disposed of. The keys
would bring the men to the office and
from there escape was to be effected in
the best way possible.

CHlNESEExCLUSION..

In Offering a substitute on Wednesday
for the Chinese exclusion bill, Mr.. Plat
sail that the United States was committed
to the policy OF exclusion, and that any
suggestions that Senators opposed to the
bill sought to break down the exclu-
sion policy was without foundation. But
he declared that the pending bill was
unnecessarily offensive to China at time
when we sought her good will. Hease
the amendment
This IS difficult question to deal with
China is our customer and it is quite
possible for us to bull t up a fine trade with
the wonderful people of that vast coun-
try. The people Of the South are es-
pecialIy interested in keeping the trade
doors of China open and in cultivatlng
trade relations with the Chinese. At the
same time, it is necessary for our govern
ment ito prevent unrestricted imm1gra-
ton. The Chinese have some admirable
traits OF character and in some respects
they are desirable as citizens. They are
industrious. they are amfable, they are
not disposed to agitate and make trouble
from a political point of view. But they
cannot be absorbed and amalgamated and
Americanized Their racial instincts are
strong and they are not disposed to be-
come a part of parcel or the American
people, even if we were disposed to take
them in as such.
They come here for purpose. They
come here as visitors. They come here
to get gain, and they accumulate all they
can, then run away. Their idea is event.
ually to pocket all their earnings and go
back to China. and spend their days in
ease. and luxury. "A little fortune in
this country is great fortune in China
and it is quite possible for an industrious
and thrifty Chinaman-and they are all
INDUSTRIOUS and thrifty-to accumulate in
a comparatively short time in the United
States enough money to keep him in
comfort for the rest of his days in China
land. So we say that it is impossible
to donlesticate the Chinaman, even if we
would.
But we are unwilling. as a white race,
to mix our blood with the blood Of China
men, Just as we are unwilling to mix our
blood with the blood of the negro. Ma
ture has drawn the color line and it can
not be obpiterated Racial instinct is
natures own creation and must be reck-
oned with.
