Cortelyou will deal with those sections OF
the treaty which practically prescribe the

exclusion of coolies. Secretary Hay will
take care of the diplomatic sectionssof the

While much reticence is observed at pres

convention is being framed, there is rea-

provision for the entry of Chinese lahorers

bill $685. to authorize the extension, con-
struction and operation of the Great Falls

qualifications. He is lawyer Of the first

boundary dispute.
I'm the far west Mr.. Turner is well
