Washington, Oct. 28.-It is the un.
derstanding that the efforts at treaty
making between the United States and
China will await the action of Con-
gress In tho matter of amending the
Chinese exclusion act in accordance
with an expected recommendation Of
President Roosevelt in his next annual
message. So far there has been utter
failure on the part of the two govern.
ments to get together on treaty.
A recent modification Of the regula-
lions makes, It is declared. an abso-
Lutte breach in the exclusion wall. The
regulation in question required before
1t was modified. bond Of $500 to be
furnished by the transportation conf
pany for every Chinaman in transit
through the country and no laborer
would be allowed in transit. This bond
has been entirely done away with.
This fact, taken in connection with
the ease with which a, laborer can now
persuade an inspector that he is q
merchant" and only desires to pass
through constitutes the breach in tho
wall. Once in the country FIN transit"
It is an easy matter to get on the train

modification Of the regulations in favor

YAaDIyER STANDS FIRM.
SEfsaOarl's InsuFancs superintendena
Not Convinced BY ArEumeRts
OF new York Life Attorneys.

| Jefferson City, Oct. 26.-Supcrintend
ent Vandiver Of the Missouri insuranc
department and Mr.. Judson and MI
Crow Of st. Louis, attorneys for th
New York Life Insurance company
held conference here Wednesday re
garding Mr.. Vandfver's proposed Dust
er proceedings,
The conference began at 3 o'clocl
and did not adjourn until 6 pm. Thu
proceedings were opened by Mr.. Van
diver reading his letter to President
Mccall OF the New York Life Insurance
company, VIXEN he demanded that the
contributions to the national Republi-
can campaign fund be returned and
the president and yice-president re-
sign or that assurances be given by
the board of directors that the alleged
Incorporated moneys would DO re-
turned within thirty days.
Mr.. Judson began his argument by
reading the statute under which Mr..
vandiver proposes to act He held
that the state superintendent of in
surance had no power, under this stat
ute, except upon the grounds that the
company was insolvent or that its
capital fund had been impaired, sub
Stimulating his argument by quoting
decisions Of the courts Of this and
other states.
Further, Mr.. Judson said. the de-
mands made by Mr.. Vandiver could
not be complied with.
"These demands are absolutely inn
possible" he said, because the super
intendent demands that the officers re-
fund the money, $148.000 contributed to
the republican campaign fund, within
80 days"
Mr.. Judsea contended that the d.
rectors and the policy holders were not
responsible and that the officers could
not be made to pay and II they did
pay the money, according to Mr.. Van
divers letter, they would then be COM
PEELED to resign, which he was sure
they would not do IL they had paid back
the money.
Mr.. Vandiver contended that the d.
rectors were liable for the money mis-
by the officers. He then
said that this contribution came under
the head of embezzlement and that the
directors, IL they knew Of it, were
also in his opinion, criminally liable,
and, If they did not know of it the were
guilty Of gross neglect Of duty.
"They should be removed from Of
Ilce," said Mr.. Vandiver, "and hence
the action l have marked out would
protect, by causing the policy holders
% remove such directors"
Mr.. Vandiver concluded by stating
hat he had received hundreds of let
,ers from policy holders and that 95
yer cent of them favored his proposed
,olicy but that he would take no ac-
ion until the expiration Of the original
hirty days notice, which will be No

But sometimes the kidneys fail And some
times from some other cause the blood gets
so full of poison that they cannot absorb II
all. This Is the start of rheumatism The
poison accunulates and crystallizes. The
CRYSTALS look like little grains Of sugar or
of fine white sand. The blood carries them
and they increase in size. Then, when 1t
can carry them longer, 1t deposits them
IN a jofnt-on a bone-anywhere.
The twinge in your leB-the dull ache in

twisted limbs and unspeakable anguish of the
sufferer who has allowed his symptoms to
go unheeded and unattended for years-these
