ton and steel products. unless arrange
ments were made whereby Chinese
merchants. students. literary men and

they now encounter. The Chinese urge
that members of the classes which, un-
der our exclusion laws. are permitted to
enter the United States. are often sub
jected to inconvenience and humilia-

A PLACE FOR
THE MEETING
This Question Has as Yet Remained
to Be Settled.
MAY BE. MANCHURIA.
Opinion In Diplomatic Circles Seems
to BE That if Left to Presi-
dent Roosevelt He Would
Select That Land.

st. Petersburg, June 14.-Early an
nouncement of the time and place for
the meeting of the Russian and Jap
bnese peace plenipotentiaries Is eN-
the result of exchanges between the
belligerents on that subject now pro-
and NJ. Takahira with President
Roosevelt as intermediary. In diplo-
matte circles the report is current that
Russia, whose choice of place con-
tinues to be Paris. is ready to allow
President Roosevelt to decide that
point, in which case there is reason
to believe the president may name
Manchuria. but the report cannot be
confirmed.
