EXCLUSION ACT
AGAINST CHINESE
Ii Is Certain That Congress Will
Not Modify II.
LEGATION INQUIRING
Impression Prevails at the National
Capital That Nom Action Will
Result In More Anti For
eigu Feeling Than Ever.

Chicago. Dec ll.-Congress VIII not
modify the Chinese exclusion act, says
a dispatch to the Tribune from Wash
ington. As a result the boycott of
American goods will be reimposed
shortly. and there will be a greater de-
velopment of the ani-foreiga feeling
throughout China.
The prediction as to the attitude of
congress was made Friday by leaders
Of both house and senate. The policy
of the Chinese people is based entirely
upon this attitude. In edicts issued by
the Chinese emperor the people were
urged to refrain from Loycotting Amer
lean goods pending action by congress-.
The viceroys OF various provinces
claimed President Roosevelt had given
assurances that congress would pass
remediary measures and that the Chi
nese should continue to purchase
American goods as heretofore until the
purposes of the legislative branch OF
the American government developed
II IL understood the Chinese legation
here has been making inquiries as to
the prospect OF action by congress. and
is satisfied there is no chance whatever
of the enactment Of satisfactory legis-
lation. A deadlock has occurred in the
treaty negotiations between Minister
Rockhill and Ma Tung of the Chinese
foreign office a a result of the refusal
OF the former to allow the admission OF
Chinese laborers into the American pos
sessions in the Pacific. In exchange
for this privilege Ma Tung was willing
to define the classes of Chinese which
should be granted entrance into the
United States thus authorizing this
government to exclude every one who
failed TO come directly within those
classes
with congress unyielding and treaty
negotiations impossible OF successful
conduct the president is confronted by
the probability of n serious blow TO
American commerce in the orient. Dur
ing the last year increase of exports
was chiefly to China. Japan and foul
other countries amounting In the case
OF the first named empire to s41.0oo,-
900. OF this sum s2350o.000 was In
cotton cloth. 100000 in copper and
s3,500.OO0 in mineral oil.

BELLS STATEMENT.

interests of His People.

interests OF HIS People,
White River Junction. VT. Dec. IL
Governor Bell was promptly notified
by phone of the execution of Mrs. Ros' |
ers. The governor gave out the fol-
lowing statement:
81 am much relieved to know that
the execution of Mrs. Rogers was ac-
complished according to law and with
out a hitch. 1t was disagreeaDle duty
have been called upon to perform. but
Notwithstanding my private views in
regard to the matter. have acted on
my oath as chief executive, and ! be-
lieve / have acted I'm the interests OF
the public good and according to the
law abiding sentiment Of the people
of Vermont. The incident Is closed
and don't care TO say anything more
at this time"
Governor Bell later left for his home
at Walden.
Under the Vermont law the power OF
Communication of sentence rests with
the legislature. and the law also pro-
vides that when a person is sentenced
to death, a session OF the Legislature
must be held between the time of sem
tence and the date set for the eNecu-
ton. At the last session of the legisla-
ture various attempts were made to
commute Mrs. Rogers sentence, but all
failed. Then an attempt was made e.
pass a law abolishing capital punish
ment in Vermont. but that also failed.
An attempt to secure a pardon for the
woman shared the same fate. bill
was then introduced providing for the
appointment of a state commission to
examine into the woman's sanI.v. This
bill passed the house unanimously but
was defeated in the state senate.
Certain disclosures regarding scam
dals in the Vermont state prison at
Windsor, where Mrs. Rogers has been
confined, had. It is claimed, affected
public sentiment. According to testi-
mony before the prison investigating
committee of the Legislature. one Of
the convicts at Windsor had access 10
Mrs. Rogers cell sometime after the
first reprieve was granted by Governor
Bell II was alleged that this was a
part of a conspiracy on the part OF
certain pr -on officials to bring about
such a condition as would further
| postpone the execution.
In Vermont all executions are held
at the state prison. and by a peculiar
| law the duty OF hanging condemned
! rlurderers devolves upon the sheriff OF
! windsor county. regardless of the sec
! ton of the state in which the crime
was committed.

the legislature, that body having failed
to choose a senator either in 1881 or
1888. He failed to be returned in 1897
and followed his profession in partner

1901, when the Legislature again chose
him as one of the states representa-
