PLAIN SOLUTION
Of DIFFICULTIES
Clever Compromise of Ex-
clusi0n Law Problem.
IT CONCERNS INSPECTION
Authorities Believe That Conduct of
Work on the Other Side Would
Mollify Chinese.
IT CONCERNS INSPECTION

What is considered a clever compro-
mise on the question of Chinese ex-
c!us'on regulations Is likely to be rec
commended by the Department of Com
meree and Labor. as a solution of the
difficulties back of the Chinese boycott
OF American manufactures.
For some time an investigation of this
question of exclusion and exclusion
methods has been going on, and the
department officials who have been con-
Quoting it are said TO have reached an
agreement on policy they Will recon-
mend
AT present Chinese of certain classes,
such as scholars, merchants, students
etc. are entitled 10 admission to this
country. There Is much protest be-
cause. first. some of these exempt
classes are said 10 have been refused
admission; and second. because people
belonging to the excluded classes are
permitted to involve themselves in the
great expense, of travelling to these
shores before they are made aware
that they viii not be admitted.
More Practicable Plan.
Accordingly it is proposed to put the
regulations into more practicable form.
and at the same time throw a sop to
Chinese suseeptibnites, by having the
inspecting and regulating done on the
other side, This can be managed by
establishing representatives OF the State
and Immigration services at convenient
ports in China. with authority TO ex-
anime the claims of Chinese desiring to
come to America, and. Il the examina-
tlon proves that they are of the exempt
classes, to issue credentials to them
which Viii be accepted without QueS-
ton at American ports.
BY this plan the investigation will be
much more simple and satisfactory. The
immigration agent who is on the ground
IN China will have less trouble ascer-
tanning the facts than the officials at
an American port would have: and if
the decision is against the Chinaman.
he will have been saved the expense of
trip halfway around the world
At the same time it is understood that
this method of enforcement would be
much more satisfactory to the Chinese
government.
No Substantial Concession.
The hope is entertained that by this
plan the Chinese authorities may be in
duced to consent TO a renewal of the
Old treaty. and that the prejudices that
have resulted in The Chinese boycott
may be. in large measure, appeased
At the same time no substantial con-
cessIon would have been made in anta9-
onism TO The Pacific coast sentiment
against Chinese immigration.

OF the employees of the Government

have noticed a disposition on the part
of persons who wished TO volunteer TO

Such is far from true. Every volun-

more than welcome. Every evening at
the North Capitol street ground we have
more children than we can take care
OF.

TO stand at the swings and other ap-

Sunday School Teachers Wanted.

1T has often occurred to me that
Sunday school teachers would have
great opportunity 10 WELD their infu-
enCe over children If they would come
out 20 the Fairgrounds in the afternoons.
There are plenty of churches near every
playground. Children who attend the
Sunday schools Of these churches also
come to the Fairgrounds
ON Sundays their teachers see them
for little while and always at a time
when there is more or less restraint.
On the Fairgrounds they could see them
unrestricted and and get better acquaint-
ed with them This would give them
chance to increase their influence"
In addition 10 the athletic teams there
is a baseball league being formed by
the Fairgrounds committee. The Nortn
