seven classes of reporters employed by
the bureau warranted.
Third, the board finds. upon careful

that the acreage planted in cotton this

cHINA's CONSENT.
Some Doubt Expressed as to Whether

II Can Be Secured.
Washington. July 2s.-Some doubt is
expressed in official circles as to
whether It will be possible to obtain
China's consent to another treaty with
the United States providing even for
the exclusion OF Chinese laborers from
this country. The state department Is
aware OF the III feeling throughout
China on the whole subject. and now
that the immigration treaty with China
has been allowed to lapse without ne
COLLATION. of n new agreement. reports
have reached here that China Is in
clined hereafter to refuse to sign any
similar convention China's position
appears to be that the exclusion OF
Chinese citizens from friendly coun-
try is in itself disgrace. and while
she cannot ignore the laws of a foreign
power providing for such exclusion
she can refuse to sanction II or be-
come n party to II, by concluding a
treaty Involving such restrictions. A
year ago. 1t Is said. II would have been
easy to conduct negotiations with Chi
ma for exclusion Of Chinese laborers
only. Now. however. II Is understood
Chinese officials are disposed to regard
signing OF such treaty beneath the dig
nifty of their government. Reason for
the assumption at Pekin of this new
attitude is not quite clear to officials
here. though In some circles 1t is at
tributed to the influence of foreign
powers.
