TIRED OF TREATY
The Chinese Serve Notice
 Against Exclusion
They Had Been Warned That Nothing More Favorable Would be Approved by the Senate.

Washington, March 23.-The state de- partment has received formal notice from the Chinese government denounc- ing the Chinese exclusion treaty, so this convention will expire December 27 next unless replaced by another treaty h.- that date. Under the terms of the treaty six months before the expira- ton of a pericd of ten years from December 27. 1894. if either power be dissatisfied with the treaty it is re- Cuired to denounce it.
 This is the action which China has taken in spite of the strongest efforts to the contrary on the part of the state department. Had the notice not been served, the treaty would have contin- ued in force fro another term of ten years from December 27, 1904. The de- cartment pointed out to the Pel>:n au- thorities through Mir. Conger that it was very probable that so far from bzt- terinc. conditions relating to the ad- mission 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 laws and the exclusion woald be much more mere complete than at present.
 However, the treaty having been de- nounced. there is nothing to do now but to proceed with the formulation of a new treaty, which already has been initiated in a way, although with little hope of senatorial approval.

BRIEF PERIOD OF FREEDOM.
Why San Miguel County Was Again
 Put Under Military Control.

Denver. March 2S-After ten days of civil control. San Miguel county is under martial law. According to news from Telluride, the principal town Of the San Juan mining district, which includes San Miguel county, a pro- clamaticn issued by Governor Peabody was read there tonight declaring the county to be in a state of instruction and rebellion and ordering Captain Bulkeley Wells of the local troop to assume control or the affairs of the county. In the proclamation it is stat ed that certain armed bands within and without the county are preparing 10 join forces for the purpose of re- sisting the law and destroying prop e-tv.
 Another reason given for placing the military in control of the county is that crimes have been committed and threats are being made by alleged dis orderly persons. The primary cause for the placing of San Miguel under the control of the military again is the trouble between the union miners and the Citizens Alliance, which resulted in the deporting of a number of un- ion men several days ago. The action of the governor was consequent upon an appeal from the sheriff of the county who stated that affairs had | reached a state that he could no long ! CT enforce the law
 ! Information from Ouray, where the deperted Telluride men sought refuge,
 tells of a joint meeting held there to- night between the union of Silverton and Ouray, which was attended by 1 President Mover of the Western Fed | eration of Miners and the deported Telluride unionists.
 It was decided to start some of the
 evicted men back to Telluride tomor-
 row to test the situation. This will be
 done under the injunction issued by
 Judge Stevens, of Ouray, yesterday.
 If the men are interfered with a stand
 will be made first on the powers of the 1 injunction. Should this prove un- availng, President Mover said that proceedings for damages will be com 1 menced in the federal courts against
 all concerned in the deportation of the Telluride unionists. He also said that
 charges of Kidnapping may be brought against them under the federal law. ! Dispatches from MontroSe, where
 Judge Stevens was sitting when the ! injunction was granted, say that the | regular bond required in such proceed ings was fileda today and the papers were sent to Telluride. Tomorrow
 they will be served on the persons en-
 joined.
 ] The utmost secrecy has been main
 tained at the state house in this city
 in the Telluride affair.

A LABOR ARGUMENT
Anti-InjunctiOn Bill Before
 a House Committee
Labor Leaders CritiCiSe Statements by Opponents of the Bill, Made at Previous Hearings.

Washington. March 29.-The house Judiciary committee today continued the hearing on the anti-injunction bill State Senator Matson of Indiana spoke in opposition to it. He was unsparinS in his criticism of labor unions. and said their policy was to intimidate and browbeat He characterized John Mitchell as the most conservative la Dor leader in this country. but said that no man ever uttered a greater untruth than whcn Mitchell declared "Once q workingman always a wOrkingman."
 II. F. Fuller. representing the railway trainmen's organization. declared that the opponents of the bill had acknowl- edged that they were practically in fla vor of government by injunction. whicn would abolish trial by jury and all the rights that labor holds sacred. If the bill were unconstitutional. as it's op- ponerts have claimed. then an amend ment should be made to the constitu- ton. He criticised Representative fHogg of Colorado for coming before the committee and reciting the reign of crime in his state, saying that Mir. Hogg should have been content to oppose the bill on the floor. and that murder and crime were questions entirely out side of it's scope as- the bill legaliZed neither. MT. Fuller reviewed the religious and social development of the world from the Roman empire to the present time. He said that the opponents of the bill held that the product of labor was q propery right. This right had been admitted in every. injunction that had been issued against labor. but it was an entirely erroneous assumption. Mir. Gompecs challenged many of the statements of the opponents of the measure. Taking Up the statement oi ! Daniel Davenport. in which the charge was made that the labor leaders as q rule were socialists, Mir. Gompers said | he had refused to reply to this state ment at the time it was made by MT Davenport before the labor committed of the house previously to it's having heen made to the judiciary committees He declared that MT. Davenport had stated what he himself knew to be false.
 l Mir. Gompers declared that the use ol the injunction against labor was oi comparatively recent origin and en- tirely unjustifed.
 James M. Beck, who had opposed the bill. he said ill his hearing before the i committee lad quoted him (Gompersl as saying:
 T believe if I was exercising my right as a citizen of this country and was enjoined by the courts injunction would not obey that injunction."
 Commenting on this. MT. Gompers declared:
 T resent this statement most em- phatically." Speaking of the extent to which labor is organized MT. Comp CTS said: T agree that We do not rep. resent majority of the workingmer or the, country, but I venture to say that we represent the most skillful and tn, most manly of the workmen of tn, country, and this, too, without any re. fiection on the non-union men,"

ASTO JAPANF SE REPORTS
They Have Been Capturing Port Ar thur Day After Day for the Impress
 sion of the ChineSe-RuSsia'S s Denial
 of Wide Spread Internal Troubles.

St. Petersburg, March 2%-The reports printed in Europe and the Unitsd States to the effect th1t a state of siege has been proclaimed in Siberia and Saratof province, southeastern Russia (through which the Siberian railroad runs) and will be extended to the whole of European Russia, is off, cially declared to be absolutely false. No such measure has been contempIat- ed it being considered cutie unneceS- sary
 The authorities express the greatest satisfaction with the internal situation nf the empire. The hearty patriotic response with which the war with JaD- an has met in all parts of Russia has profoundly impressed the authorities.
 All reports received by the ministry of the interior indicate that the critic $ of the government instead of profiting by the war have been almost comDlete- lT disarmed.
 Two attempts at anti-government demonstrations in Kieff and odessa. according to these reports. found the temper of the people violently opposs q to them. Within the past fortnight only a single incident occurred which could be construed as an evidence Of disaffection. This was the throwing of a bomb at a chapel in Wilma Capital of the Lithuanian government of west ern Russia) a few days ago. Up to date the author and purpose of the out rage have not been discovered.

now at Portland. oregon, will go to Omaha, as vice president of the Union Pacific. Assistant General Manager E. E. Calvin of the Oregon Short Line. now at Salt Lake, will go to Portland as vice president of the Oregon Rail road and Navigation company. Gen eral Manager w. H. Bancroft, of the Union Pacific and Oregon short line will remain at Salt Lake having charge of the enlarged short line sys- tenn.
 The various systems comprising the Hartman lines will remain in their present identity as regards meinten- ance of roads, etc., but in the actual operating and Ntraffic scheme great changes will be made. Thus the oper- ation of trains on the Union and Southern Pacific road from Reno. New. to Green River. Wyo.. including the new Lucin cutoff, will come under the operating mana cement of the Ore gon Short Line. This placing of this great stretch of road under Bancrofts Jurisdiction will, it is expected, result in a great saving of time and expense
 In connection with this change, the News states that Senator w. A Clark's road, the San Pedro, formerly a part of the Oregon Short Line and now being extended to Southern Cali fornia, will possibly, within two months. be included In the new short line system, and the work of extend ing the road to Daggett California will be rushed with all dispatch.

Revived in Discussion of
 Indian Appropriation Bill
INDIAN AGENCY FARMERS
Recommended by Senate Amendment to be Relieved of Civil Service Ex- anination-Consideration or Nail Carrying Railroads.

Washington, March 23-In the con sideration of the Indian appropriation bill by the senate today. the old con troversy over the Choctaw Indian leases, which was rife during the ad- immigration of President Harrison and the second administration of President Cleveland, was for a time revived in connection with a motion by AIr. Kean to amend the committee amendment for the payment of SJO.OC0 out of the Choctaw funds to J. Hale Sypher for services rendered the Indians iu coz nection with the leases.
 MT. Platt supported the claim as valid. but in reviewing its origin said that S692, ,OO0 had been paid Jo lobbyists in connection with tAis claiRa. Several senators spoke on the merits of AI- Sypher's claim, all agreeing that his service to the Indians had been that of an attorney and entirely legal alid legitimate. but MT. Allison raised tE. point that ii the payment Of the claim should be directed by congress the ChOctaWs would have q legitimate claim against the United States for the amount ordered to be paid. The claim was contested by Mr. SpOOner. MT. Patterson and other members on the ground that the United States stood in the attitude of a trustee to- ward the Indians.
 MT. Quay's resolution calling on the secretary of the treasury for a state ment of the difference in value be- | tween the depreciated currency pad ] the Delaware Indians between the years 1862 and 1878 and the same pay ments in coin was passed.
 [ The provision exempting farmers at Indian agencies fl om the requirement to undergo a civil service examination was reverted to, and the general sub ject of civil service was discussed 1 MT. German reiterated his opinion that the civil service regulations should not be regulated upon piece meal, and said that inasmuch as the president had entire control Of tks matter it should be left 10 him. He 1 quoted from the insti UctiOns Cf the president to the isthmian canal com mission as tending to show that the chief executive has receded from kis advanced position on the general ap- plication of the civil service principle. ! No one had ever supposed originally.
 he said, that the principle would be applied to as many places as they
 had been.
 Mir. HOar said that the supplying cf employees for the canal work was ca very different thing from filling pace- | connected with the executive depart
 ments. and expressed the opinion tl [ ! places connected with the canal snOuli [ be filled on the recommendation or pub . lic men and he (Mr. Hoar) would dl
