DENOUNCES TREATY.
Chinese Give Notice To the United
States.

States.
Washington, March 24.-The state
department has received formal notice
from the Chinese government denounc-
ing the exclusion treaty, SO this con-
vention will expire about December 81
next, unless replaced by another treaty
by that date. Under it's terms six
months before the expiration of pc
Rod of ten years from December 81,
1894, if either power be dissatisfied
with the treaty it is required to de-
nounce it. This is the action which
China has taken i'll spite of the strong
est efforts to the contrary on the part
of the state department.. Had the no.
tice not been served the treaty would
have continued in force for another ten
years from December 81, 1904.
The department pointed out to the
Peking authorities, through Mr.. Con-
ger, that it was very probable that SO
far from lettering the conditions relat-
ing to the admission of Chinese into
the United States any new treaty
would fail of approval by the senate.
The Chinese would thus be exposed,
in the absence Of the sheltering treaty,
to the full rigor of the Geary and
Heinz law, and the exclusion would be
much more complete than at present

NON-oONTIGUOUs TRADE.
Commerce With u. s. Possessions
Amounts to 500, 100000 Year.

Commerce With u. s. "PossessiOns''
Amounts to $1OO,OOO,OOO Year.
Washington, March 24.-Commerce
of the United States with its noncon-
tlguous territory now averages about
$S, O0O, 900 per month, and it is appar-
ent that for the full fiscal year it will
aggregate round 500, 900, 900. In
the term ''noncontiguous territory"
are included Alaska, the Hawaiian
islands, the Philippine islands, Guam,
Tutuila and Puerto Rico. Records of
their shipments to the ports of the
United Sattes and of shipments from
the various ports to them are now reg
ularly presented by the department of
commerce and labor through its bureau
of statistics.
These records show that the ship
ments from the United States to these
islands and Alaska aggregated in the
seven months ending January, 1904,
nearly $21 ZOO, 900, and the merchan-
disc received from them in the same
period nearly $31 900. 900. If to this
is added the gold bullion received from
Alaska. the grand total of our COM
MERGE with the territory in question
for the seven months ending with jan
nary would amount to nearly $50, 900, =
900, which makes it quite apparent
that for the fiscal year ending with
June 80 next the total will be fully

President Tells Sioux To Quit Gam
bling and Go TO Work.

DIln& anu uO I'D
Washington, March 24-President
Roosevelt soundly lectured party of
his callers yesterday. They were
Ogallala Sioux Indians who, it is said,
are more addicted to horse racing and
gambling than they are to the pursuits
of agriculture. The president endeav-
osed to impress upon his visitors ideas
of industry and thrift. While the lee
ture was being interpreted the Indians
listened in solemn silence As they
emerged from the executive office their
faces beamed with smiles.
The callers, who were presented to
the president by Representative Burke,
of South Dakota, included several
chiefs. anmone them American Horse,
Young Man Afraid and Red Hawk.
They informed the president that
they owned 40, 900 ponies and the same
number of cattle. The president told
them they ought to dispose of at least
half of their ponies and increase their
holdings of cattle to 100000. He
frankly told them that if they would
stop horse racing and gambling and
devote their energies to cattle raising
and agriculture they soon might be-
come valuable citizens. The policy of
the government, he said, was to take
care of the older Indians, but the
younger members of the tribes would
soon have to look out for themselves.
Idleness and laziness would not be toll

New York, March 2S.-Agitation
against divorce and the marriage of di-
veorced persons has resulted in mass
meeting Of eminent Protestant minis
tiers and laymen, who will attempt to
solve the problem of uniform legisla-
ton on the subject by the states of the
Union.
A meeting of the executive commit
tee of the conference, presided over
by Bishop Doane. of Albany, drafted
rough outline of the proposed law
which later will be presented to the
full meeting for discussion. The con-
ference is a direct result of action tax

TAX EXCLUDES THE CHINESE
No Celestials Enter British Column
bia This Year.

Vancouver, b. c., March 24-Chi-
nese are practically excluded from
Canada. 1t was learned at the GUS
toms house yesterday that since the act
went into force not one Chinaman had
paid to enter British Columbia at Van
couyer and almost three months of the
new year have gone by.
1t is now believed in official circles
that the new act has been the means
of excluding Chinese of the coolie class
from CANDIDA as effectively as the ex-
clusion law of the United States keeps
the Chinese out of that country.

American Line to West Africa.

New York, May Preparations are
we'll advanced for the establishment
of line Of steamships to the west
coast of Africa, a section of the globe
which now has no regular steam COM
munication directly with New York or
any other American port. Passenger
travel to and from the west coast ports
now goes by way of English or Ger
man ports. from both of which coun-
tries we'll equipped and profitable lines
with frequent sailings, are maintain
ed. Such freight shipments as are
made 60 either 10y the same foreign
and roundabout routes or on irregular
sailing vessels CIR occasional tramp
steamships from American ports.
Itis announced that within very
short time the recently organized
American & West African Steamship
Company will begin the running of
its vessels. The route will be by way
OF tho Cape Verde Islands and Sierra
Leone and thence down the west coast.
It is believed that the new line will
be not only a successful freight and
passen ger carrier. in itself, but pow
erful influence in developing Ameri-
can t.ade with the west coast. At
present this trade amounts to but little
and IL is believed that that condition
is the result principally, of the lack
of quick and regular communication
with that territory.

RUM MONEY FOR SCHOOLS.
The Dispensary has Sold Enough

of Teachers Salaries and
Other Expenses.

Columbia, May 5.-Quite number
of school commissioners have written
to know whether there was going to
be any more dispensary profits dis
tributed before the close of the pres
ent school year. Some of the county
school commissioners have written
that, unless they can get mere money
and get it at once, their schools will
have to close, and they write to know
where they are. There will be
another prize distribution from the
Office of the Comptroller General on
Thursday next. There is now s40,00
in hands of Comptroller General Jones
for distribution. The dispensary au-
thorities have advised the Comptroller
General that they will turn over to
him s25, 900 on Wednesday. This will
give him $50, 900, which will be sent
out on next Thursday. The county
auth critics can, therefore, figure on
getting slice of dispensary pie on
Friday of next week and make their
arrangements accordingly. This s65,
600 will be distributed entirely on the
basil, of the enrolment in the various
cour ties. The money that has been
sent out to the various counties and
all of the s65, 600 will be divided upon
the -ures of the enrolment by

port superintendent Martin.
