BETTER TREATMENT
GUARANTEED CHINESE BY GOVERN
MENT OF UNITED STATES.
Members of Exempt Class Shall BE
Treated Cautiously, Says the Presi.
dent-Instant Dismissal Promised
for Any Consular Official Who Humi-
lates CeIestiaIs Holding Certificates.

By direction of President Roosevelt
action has been taken by the admins
tration which not only Will facilitate
the landing in this country of Chinese
of the exempt classes. but will also
eliminate from the emigration bureau
such administrative features as have
been the subject of criticism by Chi
nese. 1t is the declared intention
of the president to see that Chinese
merchants, travellers, students and
others of the exempt classes shall
have the same courtesy shown them
by officers of the immigration bureau
as is accorded to citizens of the most
favored nations.
Representations have been made to
the president that in view of alleged
harsh treatment accorded to MANY
Chinese seeking landing in the Unit
ed States, the commercial guilds of
China have determined to institute
boycott on American manufacturers.
The representations, backed by the
authority of the American Asiatic So
ciety and commercial bodies through
out the country, induced the president
to make an investigation of the situa-
ton with a view of remedying the
evils complained of if they were found
to exist. The subject was discussed
thoroughly with Secretary Metcalf of
the department of commerce and la
Dor, who has supervision of the immi-
grafton bureau.
AS the result Of the inquiry orders
have been issued to the diplomatic
and consular representatives of the
United States in Gina by the presi-
dent himself that they must look close
ly to the performance of their duties
under the exclusion law and see to it
that members of the exempt classes
coming to this country are provided
with proper certificates. These certi-
ficates will be accepted at any port of
the United States and will guarantee
the bearer against any harsh or dis
courteous treatment. Such treatment,
indeed, will be the cause of instant dis
missal of the offending officials, who
ever he may be.
In addition to the presidents order
Secretary Metcalf has issued instruc-
tons to the immigration officers.
which it is believed will remedy the
difficulty heretofore complained of by
the Chinese government and individ-
uals. 1t is anticipated that the prompt
action taken by the government to
meet the objections by the Chinese
will eliminate the possibility of seri-
Gus trade difficulties between China
and the manufacturers of this country.

sold out its control in the War Eagle,
the Centre Star and the st. Eugene to
a syndicate headed by Messrs. Osler

Offers His Body for Sale.

New Rochelle, June 7.-Telegrams
and telephone answers to his ADVERTISE
ment in New York paper to sell his
body and two hearts after death have
kept A. Durr of New Rochelle busy.
Although it is known Durr has been
offered large sums of money for his
body, he refuses ito state the amounts.
He is keeping these a secret in the
hope that larger sum may be offered
by some scientist or medical college.
DUR is carpenter 30 years old, un-
married and the picture of health.
Up to few years ago he did not know
that he possessed two hearts. 1t was
discovered when he called physician

examinations by many of the most
celebrated heart specialists in the
country. Durr wants cash down and
he will give the purchaser deed good

Headon Collision.

Redding, Cal. June 27.-The second
section of the northbound overland
train No. IS, the Oregon express, came
in collision with a southbound freight
train at Morley. Engineer Miner of
the express train was injured, but none
OF the passengers were hurt. None of
the cars were derailed, but the engines
were damaged considerably. The ac-
cident is believed to have been due to
miscalculation by the crew of the
freight train of the time it would take
them to reach the switch at Morley.
The southbound California express
was delayed several hours on account
TO the collision.

RUSSIANS LEAVING YLADIVOSTOK

st. Petersburg, June %. - Advices
have reached the general staff of the
withdrawal from Vladivostok of three
regiments of tirailleurs and cavalry
and artillery in all, 100, 900 men. This
is part of the rearward concentration
necessitateded by the advance of Gem
eral Kasegawa's sixth Japanese army
across northeast Korea from the Tumen
river. Kasegawa's force has develop
ed unexpected strength, numbering
over 100, 900 men.
Knowledge that the enemy is so
storing insthe secondary state of the
war has spread a hopeless feeling
among the staff III regard to coming
operations. 1t is convinced now that
Oyama has greater preponderance over
General Linevitch than he ever had
over Kuropatkin, or he couldn't spare
Kasegawa's big army from the seat of
war in Manchuria.
The military critic of the Russki
Vedomosti urges Russia to seek early
peace. He says a war of exhaustion
GOULD be effective only if Russia s
means were limitless and Japan were
unable to transfer the war to Russian
territory.
A rumor has spread Throughout the
city that General Kuropatkin had been
killed. This rumor was connected
sometimes with a report that 1000
Russian had been cut off by General
Nogi's army and that Kuropatkin had
been taken prisoner.

been reminded of some of the scenes

1t had been known for some days
past that a special Ambassador from
the Persian monarch was to wait upon

The secret was well kept and it was
not until the arrival of the ambassador
at the palace that any information
could be gained as to the contents OF
the great packing case ovenwhlch he

For more than two years quite a

Always Room for Good Ones.

Most discouraging Of all the obstacles
TO the girl seeking her living is the
constantly repeated falsehood that the
occupations open to the average female
intelligence are overcrowded. Thirty
years ago the same statement was
made to almost every female applicant
for employment as bookkeeper, clerk.
agent, stenographer. saleswoman, etc.
At that time less than one per cent. or
all the women wage earners were en-
ployed In clerical positions. In twenty
years the percentage of women In this
class increased 20 five per cent or the
total employed, while the figures of the
last census promise a still more en-
couraging advance. 1t is further
shown that In the last decade. or the
10th century the number of woman
bookkeepers In the United States In
creased by about $4,000, the number OF
woman clerks by over 10000, the mum
Der Of saleswomen by over 100000, the
