EXCLUSION LAW DISCUSSED
THE CABINET CONSIDERS THE
TREATY WITH CHINA.
Situation Clouded with Doubt and No
Definite Conclusion on the
Subject Reached.

Washington, April 9.-Practically the
entire time occupied by the cabinet
meeting Friday was consumed in q
thorough discussion Of the Chinese ex-
clusion treaty. China has denounced
the existing treaty, which will expire
by Limitation next December. 1t has
been the hope, If not, indeed, the expec-
tation, of China to negotiate more IA
vorable treaty than that which is now
In force, but an intimation has been
conveyed to the Chinese government
that it is improbable that treaty of
a character more favorable to the Chi
nese than the existing one could be rati-
fled by congress.
The discussion developed the fact that
the whole situation is clouded in doubt.
1t is possible that China denunciation
of the treaty may be withdrawn, but no
official intimation of such action has yet
been received by this government. The
suggestion is made that another treaty
may be negotiated, but the terms Of 1t
are not indicated beyond the fact that
its basis will be the existing treaty.
No conclusion was reached at the
meeting. Secretary Cortelyou, of the de-
partment of commerce and labor, who
has had the subject under consideration,
was not present, having gone to Phila-
delphia to attend meeting of the
American Academy of Political and So
cial Science.
| Serious consideration will be given
the subject during the next few months
In the event Of failure to negotiate an.
other treaty, the Geary exclusion Law
will be enforced against Chinese immi.
grafton. This is far more drastic thar
the treaty.
A few matters of departmental detail
were discussed at the meeting, but moth
ing of particular Importance was &C
complished.

SHOW SOME IMPROVEMENT
CONDITIONS IN COMMERCIAL
WORLD ENCOURAGING.
Many Labor Controversies Settled
During the Past Week-A Re- :.
view of Trade.

New York, April 9.-R. G. Dun &
Co.'S Weekly Review of Trade says:
Commercial conditions have improved
somewhat during the past week, al
though there is still much to be desired.
Dispatches from the south are most en-
couraging. At the east more season.
able weather prevail I'd, yet spring trade
is still below normal. The best news OF
the week was the settlement of many la
Dor controversies, or at least resumption
Of work pending arbitration. Manufac-
turing returns are still confusing,
notable Improvement in the iron and
steel industry being offset by less IA
vorable reports regarding textile and
footwear factories. Agricultural work
progresses rapidly under better than av-
erage conditions, cotton being planted
unusually early. 1t is good sign that
the month opened with prices of COM
modities less inflated. Transporting in
terests are overcoming freight conges-
ton, while railway earnings in March
were only z per cent smaller than in
1903, and largely surpassed all preceding
years. Improvement in the iron and
steel industry is no longer matter Of
conjecture or sanguine hopes, but GER
tainty. New business is constantly
coming forward, and gradually idle
plants resume, while recent moderate
gains in quotations are readily main
tanned, although no further advance
occurred during the past week.
Failures this week numbered 235 in
the United States against 1877 last year,

Bradstreets says: Events Of the
week have, for the most part, been IA
vorable. Weather conditions generally
have been spring-like, except in some
portions Of the northwest. This has in
creased retail distribution in the cities,
while in the country districts favorable
weather has helped farmers in their
planting preparations and improved the
condition of winter wheat The break
ing up OF country roads, however, tends
to retard the sale and distribution Of
merchandise, lumber and other products.
Wholesale and jobbing distribution have
been helped in tone rather than in VOL
ume by the improvement in weather
and in retail trade. In two of the lead
ing industries, iron and steel and lum-
Der, the resumption of outdoor spring
activities is helping distribution. The
soft coal industry has also improved.

WORK IN CONGRESS.
The House Votes Aid to the Lewis
and Clark Exposition at
Portland in 1905.

Washington, April 9.-The house on
Friday passed large number of bills,
including the Philippine shipping bill
and the bill appropriating $475,0OO in
aid of the Lewis and Clark centennial
exposition, to be held in Portland, Ore,
in 1906
The contracts for cancellingmachines
used by the post office department were
debated at length in the senate in con-
nection with the post Office appropria-
ton bill. Senator Culberson introduced
an amendment reducing the rental Of
the machines, and the democratic sem
ators charged that the rental now paid
was the same that was paid under the
contracts made by George w. Beavers,
when he was chief of the salary and al
lowance division of the post Office de-
partment and that they were excessive.
Senator Lodge denied the charge, say
ing that there was no proof of Its
truth. The post Office bill was still
under discussion when the senate adj

COINAGE RECORDS BROKEN,
Mint at San Francisco Makes Owe,
$5o,ooo,ooo During Febru-
ary and March.

The coinage Of gold that has been
taking place at the mint in San Fran
cisco since last February was concluded
March 81. Superintendent Leach said.
regarding the coinage:
"The mint has undoubtedly broken
all records for gold coinage since the
use Of money began in civilization.
The amount coined this month has
reached the enormous sum Of s33 ,113.-
500, an average of more than 81 ,0O0.-
600 a day; in fact, the deliveries to the
superintendent from the coinage de-
partments during the last four days
averaged $1,550,0Oo per day. This, with
the sum of $21, $50, 900 coined in Febru-
airy, makes a total Of $54,693 800. In
weight, this amount would make moro
than ITO tons, or little more than four

Friday was swept by the worst blizzard
of the year and the most severe April
storm known in many years. A fine
sheet of sleet and snow was driven by
wind that at times reached the veloc-
ity Of hurricane. Minor damage was
reported from several towns. Cattle

ing, will suffer, the temperature having
fallen 20 degrees since Thursday night.
The storm increased in violence dur
Ing the afternoon and evening, the wind
reaching velocity of S. miles an hour,
which, with the whirling snow, brought
conditions comparable to a midwinter
blizzard. Street car traffic was delayed
and on some lines blocked Outbuild-
ings were moved from their foundations
and delivery wagons toppled over.
Trains were not greatly behind time,
but the gale played havoc with the
roofs of freight cars, blowing them off
in number of instances when the wind
got full sweep at moving trains.

COSTLY ROD FISHING.
HEAVY SUM Is PAID FOR CATCH
ING ONE SALMON.
British Angler Rents Stream for ST.
500 and Lands Only One Fish
Englishmen Fond of
the Sport.

Now that the season for salmon and
trout has commenced in England, the
cost of rod fishing becomes interesting,
especially in comparison with the price
paid for the fish by the consumers, even
during Lent.
Some years ago keen angler paid
rental of $500 for six weeks autumn
salmon fishing on well-known river in
lnverness-shire. His beat on the river
only extended over about a mile, and dur
Ing his tenancy he ished almost daily.
1t was very dry autumn season, and
only one salmon rewarded the fisher
man.
1t was not heavy fish, weighing some
what under ten pounds, but the angler
had 1t preserved and placed in glass
case, for exhibition to his friends as the
costliest salmon that had ever been
caught.
In this case. of course, the angling ten
ant was exceptionally unlucky, but the
TACT OF his 9300 only giving him one
fish goes to prove the uncertainty as well
as the high value Of good salmon rod
fishing, of which there is only very
limited amount annually in the market,
while the demand steadily increases
every year.
For rod fishing alone on the River
Dee, in Aberdeenshire, various sports
men pay over $4,000 per annum with
out taking into account the beats on the
river that proprietors retain for them
selves and their friends, which, If also
let, would probably fetch as much more.
The demand this year for salmon fish
Ing was very keen. say the agents, every
stretch of salmon river having been
snapped up as soon as 1t became vacant
In a similar manner the demand for
good trout fishing within reasonably
short railway run from London has be-
come remarkably brisk. On stream in
Kent which has invariably yielded good
baskets of trout the owner this year
asked the large rental of s175 per mile
which almost equals that obtained for
some salmon rivers.
There Is awell authenticated story of a
Devonshire sportsman. who at the end
OF limited tenancy of a well-known
fishing found that each trout he had bas-
keted had cost him no less than SO Is Sd
