CHINESE QUESTION is SERIOUS
Last Cabinet Meeting Before Vacation
Gives Much Attention 20 the
Subject.

WASHINGTON, June 23.-Chinese imni-
grafton to this country and the execution
Of the Chinese exclusion laws constituted
the principal topic Of discussion at today's
meeting Of the cabinet 1t was the last
meeting Of the cabinet to be held before
President Roosevelt shall leave Washington
for the summer.
The situation is regarded both by the
president and by members Of his cabinet as
serious. As Secretary Taft phrased it, there
seems to be more trouble over the admin
istration of the law than the law itself In
fact he expressed the belief that too much
time spent in developing evidence
against Chinese who presumably were en-
titled TO enter the country.
The president made it clear at the meet
ing today that he has determined the Chi
nese shall have fair treatment under the
law whenever they applied for admission to
this country at any port. He believed this
was not only in the interest Of American
manufacturers and business men, but no
more than just to the Chinese. While no
definite decision was reached at today s
meeting 1t was the generally expressed
! opinion that amicable diplomatic and trade
| relations which the country has always
maintained with China should be continued
! if possible. To this END Secretary Hay
will take action on behalf Of this country.
! Representatives of commercial guilds of
China have entered into hard and fast
! agreements to boycott American goods, and
| this has had a disturbing effect on Amer
| lean producers interested In the Chinese
| trade. 1t will be the effort Of this govern
ment to correct any misapprehension that
may exist in China as TO the too harsh
| enforcement Of the Chinese exclusion laws
| There is no disposition to exclude from the
country any of the classes Of Chinese who
are exempt from the operation of the ex.
| clusion law.
! Secretary Metcalf Of the Department OF
Commerce and Labor. who has direct super
vision of the immigration bureau, does not
believe that unnecessary harshness is used
! in the enforcement of the law, but is in.
vestigating the subject with view to cor
| recting any evils of administration tha
may be developed. He pointed out at tn,
meeting today that the United States trad,
with China in cotton goods for the ter
months Of the present fiscal year had ag
gregated S21,0O 600, as against 100000 fo
the previous fiscal year. He hoped thi
trade would not be disturbed through an!
misunderstanding and expressed the belle
that it would not be. All the members o
the cabinet were present at the meeting

SCANDAL IN THE TERRITORY
Federal officials, Attorneys and

PEACE TALK IN CHICAGO
Teamsters' subcommittee and John v.
Fnrwcn Agree Upon Another
Basis of settlement.

CHICAGO, June 23.-Au the obstacles
which have prevented an ending Of the
teamsters strike appear TO have been elm
mated and the indications tonight are that
unless something unforeseen develops hos
tilities between the opposing interests Will
cease within a short time. At a meeting
today between the committee representing
the strikers and ). V. Farwell, for the EN-
ployers' association, the question Of a con-
spicuous display Of the union buttons
which was opposed by the employers, was
settled. The question is to be left to the
employers individually, the association
agreeing to withdraw the demand for the
elimination of the union emblem AS the
button proposition has been the chief
stumbling block during the latest efforts
to reach a settlement Of the difficulty, 1t is
the general belief that the trouble is draw
ing TO a close, as all other terms Of set
tlement made by the employers have been
accepted by the officials representing the
strikers. During the meeting with Mr..
Farwell the subcommittee OF the Team
sters union assured the employers repre-
sentative that his terms Of settlement
would be satisfactory to the men, but that
the result would have TO be reported to
the general committee before any official
action could be taken
Arrangements were made with Mr.. Far
well to meet representatives Of the gen
eral committee tomorrow, when according
to the leaders, the settlement Of the strike
will be completed, with the exception OF
| taking a referendum vote Of the strikers
on the subject.
Three concrete problems confronted
! the teamsters joint coucil committed
! today with the executive board OF
| the International Brotherhood of Team
sters The decision to adopt any Of
these seemed to depend on the settlement
or continuation Of the strike. The frs
plan considered was: Surrender-Give W
to the employers terms, abandon the
union button and get back whatever places
may be had.
The more belligerent members favored
the calling of a general strike Of team
sters to carry the point that the union but
ton is to be to the teamsters what tn
flag is to the patriot in battle.
The only other alternative was to lie
the strike continue on the present lines.

Government as that enjoyed by

not be republican in substance.
There is Pennsylvania, for example.
But the form must be preserved. In

honest enough to admit that Adams
was elected. The legislature calmly
stole the governorship. The Peabody
people were compelled to divide with
another faction. and hence the deal
with the Lieutenant Governor. On
our thory of government, the people
of Colorado must save themselves, IL
they wish to be saved. The nation
cannot interfere. Local response

1t is the opposite of orderly auto

system also acts as quarantine. 1t
confines political disease to their spot
of origin, instead of allowing each
one to spread across the country.

far from satisfactory any system is.
Self-government cannot be given by

higher morally than Colorado does at
present.
