KING CHRISTIAN is Sc.
But Still Able to Look After His
Kingdom.

Copenhagen, Apr. S.-King Chris
tian today celebrated his seth birth
day, in excellent spirits and health.
United States Minister Swensson
conveyed to the King greetings and
velt Congratulatory kilograms were
received from all the sovereigns of
Europe. Enormous crowds thronged
the vicinity of the palace cheering
the aged monarch who with the
King and Queen of England appear
ed on the balcony of the palace.
Far from being in state of men
tai collapse, as recently rumored, the
old king still looks after the affairs
of his kingdom with as keen and as
watchful an eye as ever he did. Ris-
ing at his customary early hour he
has a solitary breakfast and after a
turn in the gardens nine O'Clock in
variably finds him perusing the news
papers. State business is the next
item on the program, and by eleven
O'Clock the king wishes to be alone.
With his lighted cigar. he takes his
stand at the ground floor window of
the castle to watch the parade and
relief of the soldiers on guard. He
scrutinizes his guards with the skill
ed eye of an old soldier, and the
smallest irregularity cannot escape
him. AS before stated there is not
the slightest foundation for the re-
ports that the king is fast breaking
up and that his death may be look
ed for at any time. 1t is true. howev-
| er, that in Difference to the pleadings
of his family, he has shifted part
of the burdens of state to the shoul
ders of the crown prince, in antici-
patton of the day. which cannot be
far distant. when his own hand must
release the reins of government.

ALL BARRIERS DOWN
Legislation Before Adjournment,
Every Barrier Against Chinese I'M
migration Would be Gone.

Washington, Apr. SIN the SEN
ate today Patterson of Colorado de-
livered an address in denunciation of
the Chinese exclusion treaty of 1894.
He announced that unless congress
passed additional legislation before
adjournment every barrier against
Chinese immigration would be gone.
He said that the treaty of 1894 was
the only treaty that absolutely for
bids the coming of Chinese to this
country. He admitted that the treaty
of 1880 provided for Chinese exclu
sion, but called attention to the fact
that under this agreement the United
States could only suspend, regulate
and limit Chinese immigration. Quo
ting further from the language of that
! treaty he said: 1T is by this treaty
that all existing legislation must be
measured, and whenever its provis-
ions are found to be inconsistent
with the treaty's provision, that leg
islation is nullity." In conclusion
Patterson said, 1.-The legislation that
must be compared with this treaty
of 1880 is the act of 1902 The acts
of 1882 and 1892 each suspended inn
migration for ten years, but the act
OF 1902 absolutely prohibits it, and is
therefore not in conformity with the
treaty of 1880, and necessarily falls
to the ground"

Washington, Apr. 8.-Practically
the entire time of the cabinet meet
ing today was occupied in thorough
discussion of the Chinese exclusion
question. China has denounced the
existing treaty which will expire by
limitation next December 1t has been
the hope and expectation of China
to negotiate for more favorable trea
ty than that which is now in force,
but an intimation has been conveyed
to the Chinese government that ii
is improbable that a treaty of a char
acter more favorable than that ex-
listing could be ratified by congress.
The discussion today developed the
fact that the whole situation is cloud
ed in doubt 1t is possible that Chi
mas denunciation of the treaty may
be drawn out by the official intimation
of such action by this government.
The suggestion is made that another
treaty may be negotiated. but the
terms of it are not intimated. No
conclusion was reached at today s
meeting Serious consideration will!
be given the subject during the next
few months In the event of failure
to negotiate another treaty the Geary
exclusion law will be enforced against
Chinese immigration. This is far
more drastic than the treaty.
