"YELLOW PERIL"
IS THREATENING
Senator Patterson Sounds Warning That Fl
fective Legislation Will Cease With Ex-
piration of Treaty on December 7.

Unless additional legislation is had
before Congress adjourns, every bar
rier against Chinese immigration viii be
removed on the 7th of December next,
and the ports of the country viii be
thrown open to the unrestricted coming
OF the Chinese hOrdes. whose invasion
OF the United States was arrested TWEEN
ty-twO years ago"
This is what Senator Patterson of Col
orado told the Senate today in a speech
on the subject, and what is more, the
Republican leaders are inclined to be-
neve he is right.
That such a question should arise now
when only two years ago the whole mat
ter Of Chinese immigration was thor
oughly debated in both houses Of con-
gress and a bin passed on the subject.
is rather remarkable. The trouble comes
from the fact that the Chinese govern
ment has served notice. as il had the
right 10 do. that the treaty Of 1894 be
tween China and the United States
which Is the last exclusion treaty, viii
cease to be effective on December I.
Exclusion Laws Null.
With that treaty out of the way, Sena-
tor Patterson maintains that all our eX-
clusion laws Will fan to the ground. The
reason for this Is that the act passed
two years ago re-enacted ali previous
Chinese exclusion laws. bat added the
following words:
so far as the same are not inconsis-
tent with treaty obligations"

The Washington times., 1904-04-08

Now. Senator Patterson argues, with
the 1894 treaty no longer in existence af-
ter December IL will be necessary to
compare that act of Congress with the
preceding treaty of 1880.
Trtaty of 1880.
The United States can. under the
treaty of 1880, only suspend, regulate
and limit the coming of Chinese. This
is its language:
Whenever, in the OpihIon of the Gov
erument of the United States. the com
ing Of Chinese laborers to the United
States. or their residence therein, affects
or threatens to affect the interests of
that country, the government of China
agrees that the Government of the
United States may regulate. limit. or
suspend such coming or residence, but
may not absolutely prohibit It, The
limitation or suspension shall be rea-
sonably and shall apply" etc.
Thus. by the treaty OF 1880 the United
States is prohibited in terms from ab-
solutely prohibiting Chinese inmigra-
ton, but may only regulate, limit. or
suspend il and then the Limitation or
suspension must be reasonable. II is
by this treaty that the law passed two
ever its provisions are found to be in
consistent with the treaty's provisions
that legislation is a null1ty-

New Yorker Would Have
Suit Brought Against
South Carolina.
CITES DAKOTA EXAMPLE
Decision of Court ReviveS
Dead Issue of Reputation,
lis Thought.

District Commissioner Macfarland this
morning received from John p. Man
ming, Of New York a letter offering TO
present to the District of Columbia So
0JG State Of South Carolina bonds, which.
the writer suggested, could be used by
the District for the purpose of bringing
suit before the United States Supreme
Court against the State OF South Caro-
lima for payment.
with the letter Mr.. Manning sent a
clipping from a New York newspaper,
which called attention TO the fact that
recently the State of South Oak ota sued
South Carolina for payment on some
bonds thnt had been issued by the latter
Stste in he early 4O's, but repudiated in
the panicky 7Os. The decision of the
Supreme Court, although divided. de-
creed that South Carolina must pay to
South Dakota S27.4o0.
May Seize Property.
According TO the New York paper. the
decree was further strengthened BY the
provision that. If the defendant State
dos no. pay by the first Monday "a
Januars 1g05. the United States mar
shal sEau seize certain property be-
longing 10 South Carolina. advertise II,
and sell il lat the east front door Of the
Ca7itol in Washington.
Mr. Manning points out in his letter
that the District. IN order TO get the
money on the bonds viii have TO take
the same steps as those observed BY
South Dakota. That is. the District will
have 10 get Congress to pass "a law
Ike South Dakota :. TO require the az
ceptance ard collection of grants. de-
vises. bequests. donations and assign
meDts TO the State or South Dakota ."
State hay Sue State.
He explains that South Dakota got
possession OF the bonds on which she
brought the suit by being presented
with them by New York broker The
suit for payments on the repudiate1
bonds had 70 be brought by a State be
cause of the law that no citizen of Il
State shall sue another State. The law.
however, provides that one State can
sue another State.
$1,000 State OF South Carolina bonds,
which viii enable you 10 bring action
H. the Supreme Court, and the proceeds
used as yourself and the Commissioners
may deem wise.
30 action on the matter has yet been
taken b. Commissioner Macfarland-
Dead Issue Revived.
Mr.. Manning evidently agrees with the
article in the New York paper which
SAYS that the decision OF the court Civ
ing South Dakota the money from Sopth
CaroliIa ''revives the dead issue Of re-
quotation" The article further ex-
plains that the reDUdiated bonds Of
eleven Southern States, amounting
without interest. 10 over SEQ, 600 600. are
still IN dusty plgeOnholcs. and that
they can be turned over to different
States. who. by bringing suit in the
required way, can obtain the money due
on them.
Mr. Manning thinks the District
stands as good q show to get "A ludg-
mont on the bonds as did South Dakota.
The action of the District Commission
ers will be eagerly awaited.
