Highiinks at Honpkong.

The American merchants of Tooley street
Hongkong-who are the people-have met
and considered and accepted the terms OF
certain Chinese citlzens-who are some
other people-respecting the future inter-
probation and administration of the Chinese
exclusion law. 1t seems to have been a
serious occasion, and In time we shall prob
ably have further particulars. We could
not have too much about a meeting fraught
with matters Of such moment to civilization
and all true progress.
1t was thoughtful of the Chinese to d.
vide their demands into twelve sections It
was, indeed, a compliment to America.
Twelve is favorite number with us. and
used for many purposes, from marking the
dinner hour of the plain people. to bringing
a convincing sermon to a round close. and,
twelfthly. my brethren" brings sigh of
relief which no language can describe.
Who has not taken hope and fresh view
OF life when he heard it on a warm day
In a crowded church,
But, unfortunately for the pronuncfa-
mento it carries "stumper in it's first
ly," and impatient people may stop right
there. Read 1t:
"The word laborer' shall be distinctly
defined according TO the standard English
dictionary, and shall be limited to such
classes and persons as it was originally
intended to designate by both governments
under the exclusion treaty of 1880 Ia
borers." -...
Whose is f'the standard English diction-
ary'? Are the Chinese agreed on that
point? Have the American merchants of
TColey street, Hongkong, made their seIec-
ton? There is no dictionary in the Con-
stitution, and Congress has enacted no law
on the subject. There are dictionaries and
dictionaries. but none, it is certain, that de-
fines a Iaborer so loosely as to admit into
this country man who was laboring to
get in and would cease laboring the minute
after passing the guard line. That is the
point.
Ninthly speaks for coolie labor In Hawaii
and the Philippines, and the American
merchants of Tooley street, Hongkong,
agree to the proposition. 1t so happens,
however. that the President of the United
States has just spoken against that-which
is so much the worse for him, or for the
American merchants of Tooley street,
Hongkong, just as one chooses to look at
the matter.
But, at last, where did these plenipoten-
tiaries get their commissions? Can it be
that, Notwithstanding this powwow, the
American Congress and the Chinese gov
eminent must in the end be consulted"
Awful thought.

A Black Outlook for Russia.

The week opens with a dark outlook for
Russia, with every Indication pointing to
a violent reaction on the one side as the
government tries 70 gain control of the
situation by force, and ominous signs of a

fngmen as n measure of coercion in case
the reaction actually occurs Today's dis
patches point Enthusiastically to this combi-

The lack of telegraphic communications
permits only partial understanding of the
general situation In Russia. but enough Is
disclosed by the fragmentary reports that
get out by courier across the border to
demonstrate that virtually all Russia is
trembling on the edge OF anarchy The re-
peated assertions that Count White has
tried to resign are plausible. even though
they have been formally denied The task
