PREPARING 4 NEW TREATY
It Relates To the Admission of Chi.
neie to the United States.
The Existing Treaty Expires by
Limitation Next December, and .
New One Is Necessary.

Washington, March PA new
treaty, regulating the admission OF
Chinese into the United States, is in
preparation. The existing treaty,
which was made by Secretary Gresham
and Minister Yu, in 1894, will expire
next December by limitation.
Because the administration of the
Chinese exclusion law is now confined
TO the department OF commerce and
labor, 1t has been necessary for Sec
rotary Hay to call on Secretary Cor
telyou to assist in the formation of
the new treaty. Secretary Cortelyou will
deal with those sections of the treaty
which practically prescribe the regu-
lations which shall govern the admis-
sion of Chinese of the higher class and
the exclusion of coolies. Secretary
Hay will take care of the diplomatic
sections of the treaty. While much re-
ticence is observed at present as to the
lines upon which the new convention
is being formed, there is no reason to
believe that it will be more liberal In
treatment of Chinese wishing to en-
ter the United States, when they are
not actually of the coolie class, than
the existing treaty. There also may
be made provision for the entry of Chi
nese laborers. into the Panama canal
strip, though this is not certain. An
attempt has also been made to avail
of this opportunity to make more &C
tive use Of Chinese labor in the Ha-
waiian islands.

EEFTY-slxTH DAY.

The lower house session in the
morning was devoted to the Circuit
Court redistricting bill passed by the
senate several days ago, which Mr..
Smith, of Holmes, had succeeded in
having made the special order for the
morning, despite attempts from numer-
GUS quarters to knife the measure.
The first amendment offered to the
bill was to take Calhoun county from
the district of Judge Stevens and
place it in the district of Judge Cook.
This was promptly voted down, with
all other amendments seeking to
change the district formations. The
members next turned their attention
to the features of the bill prescribing
the time for holding court sessions,
and several amendments of minor
character were adopted and the bill
passed.
The senate spent a greater portion
of the morning on the bill providing
for an issuance of 100000 in bonds
for the purpose of refunding the
Chickasaw school fund at a lower rate
of interest. The State pays per cent
interest on these bonds and it is be-
lieved that they can be fioated in the
form of new issue at or 31a per
cent. The matter was left pending at
the noon adjournment.
The house has defeated the bill ap-
propriating $1,000 to defray the ex-
penses OF the investigation of the
books of ell State institutions and the
prison board of control, to be conduct
ed by the State revenue agent, and
this means that no investigation will
be made.

THROUGH HIS "ALFALFAs."
Speech Became Entangled and Lost
Its Way in the Foliage on
Speakers Face.

At the live stock show recently held
in Chicago Secretary of Agriculture James
Wilson was one of the speakers at a
mass meeting of cattle men. Behind him
on the same platform, relates the New
York Herald, somewhat screened from
observation, sat Norman j. Colman, the
first man to hold the portfolio of agri-
culture.
Secretary Wilson made happy speech,
and because of his popularity with the
western ruralist he was the shining, CEN
trail figure of the gathering. When he
had finished talking lusty lungs and sun
burned hands gave him noisy appreciation.
The applause had not ceased when a Ne
braska farmer, with whiskers like Senator
PETERS, arose in the back of the hall and
said
Gentlemen, we are all mighty glad to
hear Secretary Wilson and are ready to
do him honor, but let us not forget the
other great men we have with us. We
have on the same platform tonight the
alfalfa and omega of agriculture"-
1t was as far as the speaker ever got.
His few remaining words were lost in the
shrieks of laughter.

STEAMERS IN COLLISION.
The British Steamers Merton and
Clan Grant Collide on Tuska-,
On the Irish Coast.

Hollyhead, Wales, March 21.-The
British steamers Merton and Clan
Grant put into the harbor, Monday,
after having been In collision off this
place during a dense fog. Both ships
were injured. The Clan Grant was
struck amidships and her forepart is
full of water. She has large hole in
her starboard side and was obliged to
go on the beach to prevent sinking.
The damage to the Merton is evidently
slight as she subsequently proceeded
for Liverpool. She sailed from Phila-
delphia, March 8. The Clan Grant was
last reported as having arrived in the
Clyde March from Antwerp.
The collision occurred of Tuskan, on
the Irish coast, at 1920 a. m. The
Merton stood by the Clan Grant and
accompanied her to safety and then
proceeded for her destination.
The Merton subsequently arrived in
the Mersey, and her passengers were
landed by means of a tender.

FOR WORLDS FAIR SERVICE
Plans Being Formulated for Com

st. Louis, March 21.-Plans are being
formulated by which trains of many
railroads that heretofore have never

Judging from arrangements which
have been made, 1t is safe to predict
that during the fair period every day
cars belonging to railroads utterly for
eign to st. Louis traffic, SO far as en-
tering the city is concerned, will roll

Passenger officials of the st. Louis

department. The schedules as agreed
upon will be submitted to the traffic
departments, after which the announce
ment of time and trains will be made

FlFTY-THIRD DAY.

For the first time since his induc-
ton into the Office of chief executive
Gov. Vardaman in the afternoon exer-
cised the veto power The bill which
comes under the ban of his disap.
proval is the appropriation measure
for the State Normal School, a ne
gro educational institution located at
Holly Springs. The governors prin-
cipal reason for vetoing the bill is
that, in his opinion, the school does
not give the proper kind of education
for the negro.
After the reading Of the message in
the house a motion was made and
adopted to make the matter the spe-
cial order for the succeeding day,
when an effort will be launched by
the members who are opposed to the
governors ideas on the negro question,
to pass the bill over his veto.
On passage the normal school ap-
preparation went through the house
by vote of u to 20, and it passed
the senate by vote of % to 10. A
two-thirds vote will be required to
carry 1t over the governors veto.
The boil weevil was the subject of
discussion in the senate, and the dan
ger of invasion by this destructive
pest was brought up on the house bill
appropriating $4,000 to be used in
preventing the introduction of the boil
weevil in Mississippi, which sum was
amended by the senate committee, cut
ting the amount down to $4,000 and
depriving the State entomologist of
$500 for his services. Some of the
members were opposed to the measure
on the ground that it proposed no def
mite plan for the prevention OF the
pest, but the bill finally passed
The house spent the greater por-
ton of the morning on the senate
bill providing for the paying of ex-
penses of circuit judges and chancel-
lors by the counties where they were
holding courts. The bill failed to
pass.
The law provides that no appropria-
ton measure can be passed within
five days of the final adjournment,
and this will shut out many of the
bills now pending, including a big
bunch having favorable committee re-
ports. The last three days of the ses-
sion will be merely for the purpose
of giving the speaker and lieutenant
governor an opportunity to sign the
bills passed, and the enrolling clerks
an opportunity to catch up with their
work.
The house concurrent resolution in
structing the attorney general to in
stitute proceedings to set aside the
purchase of the Hildreth land tract
by the former board of trustees of
the Mississippi Insane Hospital is still
hanging fire in the senate, and the
indications are that it has been very
effectually "chloroformed" by that
