FORMER MINISTER WI
PLAYING TO GALLERIES
Opposition to Chinese Exclusion Treaty
Thought Grandstand Pose to
Win Favor in Pelzin.

Authentic information has been re-
ceived here to the effect that d vigorous
fight against the present Chinese exclu-
sion treaty which is being negotiated by
Secretary Hay and Sir Chentung LANG
Cheng is being made at Pekin by WI
Ting-fang. the former Chinese minister
to Washington, who made himself fam
Gus in this country by his conversational
gifts and the gorgeous robes he wore
Since returning home Mr. WI has kept
comparatively quiet until recently when
the time arrived for the negotiation or a
new exclusion treaty between the United
States and the government at Pekin.
With characteristic shrewdness Mr. WI
saw the opportunity in this for making
a Grandstand play by posing as cham
pIon OF his people and he therefore en-
coura ged the throne at Pekin 10 insist
that the United States make much freer
provisions for admitting Chinese into
this country
Not being in touch with the strong
sentiment in this country against such
a letting down of the bars or else WILL
fully ignoring IL, Mr.. Wu-s fight on the
treaty has practically resulted in hold
ing it up indefinitely The only hope OF
getting the treaty in such shape that it
may be passed upon at this session OF
Congress Is that Mr.. WI will abandon
his play to the galleries of public opi4ion
in China and allow the new treaty 10 be
drawn on such conservative lines that
ii will be sure Of ratification.

The grand jury, in its final present
ment made today to Chief Justice Ga
baugh. recommended the establishment
of a whipping post for wife beaters and
petty larceny offenses. The report is
as follows:
ITO Hon. Harry NJ. Clabaugh, Chief
Justice Supreme Court OF the Dis
trict of Columbia:
The members of the grand jury for
the October term. 1904. having com
pleted this term OF service desire TO
record their appreciation of the cour-
tesies extended by the Hon. Dan Thew
Wright, who presided over Criminal
Court No l during their term. and TO
tender their thanks for the assistance
given them by the United States at
terney, Morgan II. Beach, and his
courteous and able assistants, Messrs.
MuIlowny. Bingham, and Keigwin.
Further, we wish TO call the atten-
ton of this honorable court to the fol-
lowing:
During our terms OF service we have
had to investigate a numbfr of charges
money taken amounted to only a few
dollars, and it seems TO us a waste OF
much OF the valuable time of the court
where such presentments are subse-
quently tried, and much useless ex-
penditure of public money To bring such
cases before a grand jury. The desira-
bility Of establishing the whipping post
as a means of Furnishing wife heaters
and petty larceny offenses has been in
vestigated by this body and the ma
jority OF the members are of the opin-
ion that it would prove very effective
in decreasing the number of these rep
rehensible crimes
"a recent case brought before us EN-
phasizes this need of having men and
women about TO unite IN rnatrinony pro
duce evidence that they are free from
loathsome or infectious diseases befor,
being granted license to marry.
Oath Not Sufficiently Solemn.
I'VE also concluded that the manne
of administering the oath to prospective
witnesses for the grand jury in a bod!
does not impress the individual sufficient
~ with the solemnity and Importance o
