ADMITTING CHINESE
TO THE EXPOSITION
Too Stringent Regulations
to Be Modified.
BY ORDER OF THE PRESIDENT
Rules Were Made by Commissioner
General Sargent to Prevent Snug
glingin Of Objectionable Parties.

Announcement of changes in the reg
ulations for the admission of Cinnamon
who desire to attend the ST. Louis EE-
position viii be made by the Depart
ment OF Commerce and Labor in a few
days.
, In his effort to provide rules which
will prevent Chinese from being SNUG
gled into the United States on the pre-
tense that they are to take part in the
exposition, Commissioner Sargent Of the
Bureau of immigration drew up regula-
tions which were distasteful to high
class Cinnamon. one provision OF the
rules IS that Cinnamon coming to the
exposition shall furnish a bond of $500
to insure their immediate return to
China at the close OF the exposition. 1t
is also provided in the rules that all
Cinnamon shall be photographed by in
spectors.
At Presidents Behest.
Under the amended rules these pro-
visions will be waived in the case Of ex-
hibitors and other high-g grade China
men. but will stIll apply to concession
aires and all the workmen, actors, mu-
sicians, and other Cinnamon of that
class who come with them TO St Louis.
These changes in the rules are made
by order OF President Roosevelt, and
are gratifying TO Sir Chentung the Chi
nese minister, who felt that the regula-
tions were too sweeping. Influential
Cinnamon viii now be able to visit St
Louis by securing passports viseed by
American cOnsuls.
John Barrett, who has represented the
st. Louis exposition in the Far East,
called at the State Department yester-
day to discuss the proposed changes
with Mr.. LOomis and said the amended
rules viii do away with much dissatis
faction among Cinnamon who expect to
make exhibits at the ST. Louis exposi-
ton.
Hundreds Were Struggled In
Commissioner General Sargent made
the regulations for the admission of the
Orientals who desire to attend the ex-
position especially strict because Of the
wholesale smuggling-in OF Cinnamon
which took place in connection with the
Omaha Exposition. The Chinese shows
on the Midway employed only a limited
number Of wOrkmen, actors, and must
clans, but brought hundreds Of China
men 20 Omaha. who were shipped all
over the United States and did not re-
turn 20 the Orient.
In his desire TO prevent transportation
agents from reaping another such har-
vest as they did at Omaha Commits
sioner General Sargent drew irOnclad
regulations, not thinking how distasteful
they would be to the high-class China
men

Alcohol From Aeetylene.


Some interesting facts concerning he
manufacture OF alcohol from acetyIene
are given in report from John c. Co
vert. at Lyons. France. In part, ne
says.
"A well-known chemist tells me that
since the invention OF the electric fur
mace by Eugene and Alfred Cowles il IL
probable that carbure Of calcium can
be produced so cheaply as to greatly
reduce the price of alcohol. At present
carbure Of calcium is sold in France for
$50 francs (s2S.95) a ton. from which can
be produced $50 Kilograms C77O pounds)
OF acetylene-eQual to 500 liters about
2l1.4 gallons) Of alcohol OF 90 degrees.
Therefore. alcohol obtained by this
method would cost about 81 per hectic
liter (26-417 gallons: counting the waste
and incidental expenses, It is believed
that industrial alcohol made from acety-
lene would cost not less than Sc per
hectoliter. George Claude. OF Paris, a
specialist in this line. calculates the
price at ST per hectoliter.

SOMETHING FOR BILDAD.

HES away to Washington anc
makes the discovery that Teddy
was not elected by the people anC
did not represent the majority Of
the people; and then not getting 8
sufficient amount of satisfaction
from that he imagines that he is q
great Judge and is charging the
Jury on some important points OF
law, while, if he will take little
time and accept the testimony of
his own pen, he will be bound to
conclude that he is at least a sym
pathizer if not guilty. Now, my
dear son, you have our profound
sympathy, and if there is anything
convincing in your previous arti-
cles, it is the fact that you are a
professional dodger of the bush on
the fence question. And then you
seem to gather up new energy and
declare that what you say you are
responsible for, and not some one
else. But we can't help noticing
you are careful not to write under
your own signature, but have as
sumed name so that all the de.
tectives of Pinkerton's force could
not locate you even at your own
home; and in your criticisms have
exhibited the same spirit as the
assassin, who gets behind tree to
shoot down his enemy. Is it from
timidity, cowardice, or through
ignorance that your strike us and
dodge behind screen, SO we know
not from whence comes the blow.
You certainly have mistaken your
self for Il prophet and a leader of
public sentiment. Now, we think
it is an injustice to the public press
to allow you, my son, to hold
yourself up to the gaze of the world
as leader of public sentiment,
when in reality you are trying to
find where lies the public senti
ment of this public question, under
an assumed name.
Now, if the county court of Lake
county made such q blnnder in
adopting the four strand law, why,
oh why, have they not repealed it,
my son? They have had at least
nine quarterly meetings since it
was made, and if it has been re-
pealed we are ignorant of it. Let
me answer, it is because they know
the majority of the citizens indorse
it. But through fear of this ele
ment, you, my son, SO ably repre-
sent. it is not in force. Shame on
you, my son. 1t is the advance in
civilization that gave birth to the
no-fence idea, aud it is a selfish |
hypocrlte who will try to clog the
wheels Of progress and prohibit
majority of the citizens from en-
ioying the blessings and benefits

peal has the following extract
from Senator Carmack's speech OF
the lndianola post office incident
delivered in the Senate on Tues
day.
IF this matter concerned only
the people of Mississippi ! shoulo
not feel called upon to participate
in the debate. The Senator from
Mississippi has shown himself fully
able to defend the honor of his con
stituents against the aspersions
that have been cast upon them.
But it does not concern the people
Of Mississippi alone. What has
been done to the people Of Indian
ola might have been to any other
Southern community where the
people, or any part Of the people,
dare to say above their breath that
/ they would rather have a white
person to be their postmaster than a
negro. That is absolutely all that
the people Of lndianola have done.
Their proceedings from first to
last were orderly, peaceful, devoid
Of a single word or act or incident,
indicative of a violent or unlawful
purpose.

The law makes it the duty Of the

actual post Office. This is one of
the laws which the Senator from
Wisconsin says it is his duty to en-

Of the Government he is to main

President has seen his way clear to
