WORRIES CABINET.
Denumciation of Treaty by
China Is Causing Trouble.

washington, April Specifically
the entire time occupied by the cab
met melting today was consumed in a
thorough discussion of the Chinese ex-
clusion question China has de-
nounced the existing treaty, which will
expire by limitation next December.
1t has been the hope, if not indeed the
expectation, OF China to negotiate a
more favora bic treaty than that which
is now in force, but an intimation has
ment that it is improbable that a
treaty of character more favorable to
the Chinese than the existing one
could be ratified by congress
The discussion today developed the
fact that the whole situation is cloud
ed in doubt. 1t Is possible that China 5
denunciation of the treaty may be
withdrawn, but no official intimation
Of such action has been received by this
government. The suggestion is made
that another treaty may be negotiated
but the terms of it are not indicated
beyond the fact that its basis viii be
the existing treaty.
No conclusion was reached at to-
DAYS meeting. Secretary CortelyOu,
who has had the subject under con-
gone to Philadelphia to attend a meet
ing of the American Academy of Po-
HticaI and Social Science.
Serious consideration will be given
to the subject during the next few
months. In the event of failure to
negotiate another treaty, the Geary
exclusion law will be enforced against
Chinese immigration. This is far more
drastic than the treaty.

PROBLEM OF SENATOR BURTON
IF'rom the Chicago Post.

LF'rom the Chicago Post1
A very curious epistle has been given
to the press by a friend of the senior
senator from Kansas. In it Mr.. Burton
not only protests his innocence of
wrong doing, but hints at awful reve-
lations that he could make if he would
and that would render certain persons
and interests extremely uncomforta-
bic. Incidentally we learn that Mr.
Burton is not sulking." nor borrow
Ing trouble on account Of the dilemma
in which he has placed his colleagues
In other words, he has no intention of
resigning his seat.
1t is the opinion of good lawyers that
the conviction of the Kansas states
man" Goes not automatically render
his seat vacant. While the statute ne
was found to have violated deprfves
him of the privilege of holding office
under the federal government, it must
be so interpreted as not to involve
notification OF the constitutional pro-
vision for expelling senators by a two
thirds vote. That he will be expelled
if the verdict is sustained by the high
er courts is hardly ma tier of douot,
but many upright citizens are of the
opinion that the senate cannot afford

to its honor. dignity and good name it
ought to take action at once.
But would not expulsion PREJUDICE
the senator's case? Certainly not with
the courts, or with any jury in the
event of retrial. Judges and juries
are bound to decide on the evidence
before them, and the fact that the SEN
ate had expelled him would not even
be relevant as a piece of testimony.
The public might draw certain infer
ences, but what more can it do than it
already has done on the strength not
alone of the jury's verdict, but of the
defendants own extraordinary plead
ing and defense2 Mr.. Burton, it is
said, has shown little sense of the pro-
prieties and no delicacy about asking

BOX CARS ON FIRE.
Had Probably Been Used as Shelter
for Tramps.

Three box cars were partially de-
stroyed by fire at $3.50 this morning in
the Union Pacific yards. It required
two streams of water and the chem
-ical engine to stop the fire. The three
box cars were empties. and were prob
ably being used as a shelter by
tramps-
One very funny thing happened to
the fire department There were two
strings of freight cars standing side
by side. In order to do effective work
the men with the line of chemical hose
climbed up on top of the freight cars
standing beside those which were
burning and commenced to pump the
chemicals down into the blaze.
They were making good Roadway,
when the train they were standing on
commenced to move away. The Union
Pacific officials, not knowing where the
firemen were working, had hitched
switch engine to the end of the train,
and was pulling it to a place of safety.
The fremen had to throw their hose
overheard and jump to avoid being car
ried away from the scene of the fire.

FROM MR.. KELLEY.
He Gives the Company's Side of Base
ball Controversy.


F. G. Kelley today issued the following
statement about the baseball contro-

The company on the 22d day of March
executed contract with the Washburn
college board of athletic control, in the
preamble of which the following Ian
guage occurs: Said second party (the
Washburn college board of controD has
the control of the Washburn college
athletic grounds, and the fences, bleach
ers, and improvements thereon, and is
In full possession there, and has the
right to enter into this agreement" etc.
But it appears now that this organi-
cation did not have the right to exc
cute the contract except with the ap-
prevail of the board of trustees, which
board refused some ten days later to
do, submitting to the company in lieu
of the first contract, another imposing
such unreasonable and exacting condi-
lions as the company could not sub
scribe to. The Topeka Railway COM
pany stands ready to carry out the
terms of their contract with the ath-

CANVASS VOTE TONIGHT.
There VIII Be a New President of the
City Council.

This evening the city council will meet
for the purpose of canvassing the vote
of the city election, and declaring the
result. The old council will then ad-
meet and organize.
The principal thing for the new coun-
Gil to do is to elect a president. Samuel
T. Howe is the present president of the
council, but as it seems to be customary
to pass this office around, some other
man may be chosen this evening. DR..
L. A. Ryder of the First ward, is a
faVorite with some of the councilmen,
and can have the place if he wants It,
DR.. Ryder is one of the members OF
the council who knows something
about parliamentary law, and would
make a good presiding officer. The
presiding officer of the council never
presides over anything. but there is
lots of honor in the job. 1t is a good
deal like the vice presidency of the
United States 1t becomes important
only under extraordinary circumstan-
ces.
City Attorney Spencer has been busy
unwinding red tape from the business
Of canvassing the vote of the Go
of procedure which eliminates about
two-thirds of the rigmarole through
which the council has been accustom-
ed to go.
Heretofore the council has met, re-
solved itself into a canvassing board,
appointed tel1ers and had the tellers
canvass the vote. after which the tell
ers formulated an elaborate report to
the council, and after everybody has
reported to everybody else, the result
of the election is announced MI.
Spencer says this is all unnecessary.
He says the law provides that the
council itself is the canvassing board,
and elaborate reports are not required.
The only reason for conducting the
business in the decentralization manner
is because that is the way it always
has been conducted.
