CHINESE TREATY
TO BE REVISED

WASHINGTON, March 21-A new
treaty regulating the admission Of Chi
nese into the United States is in prep
aration. The existing treaty. which
was made by Secretary Gresham and

December by limitation
Because the administration OF the
Chinese exclusion act is nov confnedto

tary Hay TO call upon Secretary Cor
teIyou to assist in the formation OF the
new treaty. Secretary Cortelyou viii
deal with those sections OF the treaty
which practically prescribe the regu-
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
tions Of the treaty. While much reti-
cence is observed at present as TO the
lines upon which the new convention
is being formed, there Is reason TO
believe that il will be more liberal in
treatment of Chinese who desire to en-
ter 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
Chinese laborers into the Panama
canal strip, though this is not certain
An attempt also has been made to
avail of this opportunity TO make more
extensive use OF Chinese labor in the
