NEW TREATY WITH CHINA.
One Is Now in Process of Preparation
at Washington.

Washington. March 21.-A new treaty
regulating the admission of Chinese
into the United States is in pTepa-I-
ton The existing treaty which vas
made by Secretary Gresham and Min
lister WI in 1894, will expire next D--
cember by limitation.
Because the administration of the
Chinese exclusion act is now confined
TO the department of commerce and
labor. it has been necessary for Secre-
tary Hay to call upon Secretary Cor
teIyou to assist in the formation of the
new treaty. Secretary Cortelyou Will
deal with those sections of the trea ty
which practically prescribe the reg1-
Iations that shall govern the admission
of Chinese of the higher class and the
exclusion of coolies. Secretary Hay
Will take care of the diplomatic Sec
lions of the treaty. While much retic-
ence is observed at present as to the
lines upon which the new convention
is being formed, there is reason to be-
lieve that it will be more liberal IN
treatment of Chinese wishing TO enter
the United States, when they are not
actually of the coolie class. than the
existing treaty. There also may be
made provisions for the entry of Chi
nese Iaborers into the Panama strip
though this is not certain An At
tempt also has been made to avail of
this opportunity to make more extern
sive use of Chinese labor in the Phil-
ipuineS

STATEMENT FROM DAYHOFF
Says That His once Is Trying to Get
the Best

Topeka, Kas-, March 21. 1904
To the Editor of the State Journal:
knowing that you wish to publish the
truth regarding all matters Of public
interest, 1 wish to make short state
ment regarding the article you had in
the Journal Of March 10 referring TO
the State Reading Circle board
l wish to state for your Information
that the State Reading Circle board
never had anything TO do with the
state course of study. The matter has
never been before them, and they have
no authority whatever in the matter
The Illinois course of study has been
used in a number of counties for sew
eral years. and it gradually found its
way into the state. AS a course OF
study for common schools it is the best
one in existence It Is, no doubt. bet
ter suited to Illinois. owing to certain
conditions. than it is TO Kansas.
1t has been the intention of this Office
all of the time. and is at present, to
ascertain as near as possible the edu-
cational sentiment over the state re-
gard1ng every matter that effects the
educational welfare of the state. We
diligently inquired during the year 1908
with reference to the work Of this course
of study. Many county superintendent
and educators over the state recon>
mended said course very highly, and II
has many warm friends in the state
today. Certainly there are others who
as to meet the local conditions prevail
ing in the various parts of the state
In order that this might be done, l ap-
pointed at the meeting of the last State
Teachers association committee OF
able superintendent to carefully look
into the revision of the course, or. II
they thought best, to construct an en-
tire new course
The matter was not brought up by them
but was brought up by myself. The com
mittee has had two meetings, the last
one OF which was on the 18th and 18th
Of this month, at which time 1 appointed
various subcommittee for the different
subjects to be treated in the course d
study.
The committee as whole is very har-
monlous, the best of feeling prevailing
and there is only one purpose in view
and that is to prepare a course of study
which will best further the interest Of
No one has been turned down, and there
are no waring factions pitted against eacf
other in this matter We are working to
gether for the interest of the schools
Your statement that the state reading
circle board had this under consideration
is not true and the most charitable con
struction that we can put on the source
taken Our hope IS that the committed
may evolve a course that will be a credi
to the state To this end no labor viii b
too arduOuS or any sacrifice too great
The petty differences. If differences there
be, will be thoroughly discussed and NJ
doubt. the best thought will prevail
ours for better schools.

Attention Farmers.

Why remain in the north and stay in
doors six months in the year consum-
ing what you raise during the other six
months2
Go south where you can work out
doors every month in the year. and
where you are producing something the
year round If you are a stock raiser
you know your stock are now eating
their heads off, and, besides, have to be
protected from the rigors of winter by
expensive shelter
Economical stock feeding requires the
combination of both flesh forming and
fat forming foods in certain proportions.
Ala bama and Florida produce in album
dance the velvet bean and cassava, the
first a flesh producer, and the latter a
fat producer and they are the cheapest
and best fattening materials known to
the world.

AGAINST CHINESE LABOR.
A Vote of Censuce Is Moved in the
Commons

London. March 21-In the house of
commons today the Liberal leader. Sir
Henry CampbeIl-Bannerman moved his
vote of censure, presented March 16. to
the effect that this house disapproves
the conduct of his majestys govern
ment in advising the crown not to dis
allow the ordinance for the introduction
of Chinese labor in the TransvaaL"
Sir Henry said nothing the govern
ment had done since the close of the
South African war had so sorely tried
the people OF the country as its sane
ton of the Introduction of Chinese
labor into South Africa. If the new
departure was net checked it would be
a source OF future weakness, not only
to the Transvaal but to the whole OF
South Erica.
It was impossible to conceive a
creature departure from the prin-
cipIes by which Great Britain had
hitherto made her way in the world
than the Importation of aliens as the
bondsmen of mining spectators. The
Europeans in South Africa, Sir Henry
declared, were by a large majority OPP
posed to yellow labor. and the object of
his motion was to stop the govern
ments policy in its earliest stage.

AT THE PLAY LAST NIGHT.

The "Hoity Toity'' seen at Crawford's
play house last night would not be mis-
taken for the real Weber Field-Collier-
Russell "Hoity Toity." And the skit
needs a company of all stars to put it
above the ten-twenty- thirty level AS
usual the Crawford syndicate introduced
the show at first class prices. The
prices are about the only first class fea-
lures of the show business in Topeka
now First class shows try to make it
convenient TO go around Topeka and
play Wamego and junction City.
A fairly good audience saw Hoity

were three ladies in the first eight rows
of the parquet and the others We're

gathered the idea that the show would
be naughty People who attend Sunday
night shows at the Crawford expect
something really shocking.

Harrisburg. Pa. March 21.-Mary Shat
to- aged 20 of Dauphfn. is in the hos

malady.
A year ago the girl. who weighed 400
