CHINESE EXCLUSION LAW
Conference of Labor Leaders With
the President at Oyster Bay.
The President C~Orrects an
Impression That Has Grown Out
Of His Recent Order.

Oyster Bay, N, Y. July 13.-lmmi-
grafton TO the United States and it's re-
lation to the labor problem formed the
subject of a conference. Wednesday
afternoon, between the president and
two of the important leaders OF Or
ganized labor, Samuel Gompers, of
Washington, and James Duncan, of
Quincy, Mass, respectively. the presi-
dent and one of the vice-presidents OF
the American Federation OF Labor.
The conference vas devoted princi-
pally TO 4 consideration Of the order
recently issued by the president regard
ing the enforcement of the Chinese ex-
clusion law. An impression had been
gained by many members of labor or
CARNATIONS that the order, to an extent
at least, let down immigration bars so
far as Chinese are concerned. The
president assured his callers, however
that no such construction properly
could be placed on the order, and that
he was just as vigorously opposed to
the admission to this country of Chi
nese coolies as they could be.
We directed the presidents atten-
tion," said Mr.. Gompers. after the con-
ference, TO the Interpretation placed
by some persons on his recent order,
issued at the instance of the American
Asiatic association, concerning the ad-
mission to the United States of Chi
nese. BY many Of our people and by
many Chinese that order was looked
upon as a letting down Of the immi-
grafton bars so far as the Chinese are
concerned. The president assured us
that no proper reading of the order
would warrant such an Interpretation;
and that nothing was further from his
intention than that such an impression
be gotten from the order.

OLD GLORY TRAMPLED UPON
The Cause Was "a GrntuitOus Insult
offered to Cnnada On Cana
dian Soil.

London, Ont, July 13.-An American
flag was torn down in front of the city
hall, Wednesday night, and trampled
under a hundred feet as the result Of a
remark made by an American visitor
at the Orangemen's demonstration.
About 800 Americans came over from
Michigan, and during the day carried
the Stars and Stripes through the
streets without ~unfavorable comment
being excited. At night the Americans
were gathered in front of the hotel,
when some one cried. ITO hell with
Canada, she never chowed us yet"
Instantly the American flag, owned by
the Port Huron (Mich.) lodge, was
torn from where it waved in the breeze
and was ripped into shreds and tram
pied under the feet OF an angry mob.
Port Huron orangemen say they did
not resent it, as they believed the in
suit to Canada was uncalled for.

around New York, Italians came on
foot, many Of them barefoot as a still
greater penance. All day vas spent in
simultaneous religious festivities. About
the colony was scattered affairs of wood
and tinsel, before which the Italians
knelt in the streets, and on which
many of them laid wax reproductions
OF fingers, limbs or other parts of the
body, which their prayers to the saint
would heal. At a street parade, the
rear end was made up of barefooted
women and children, carrying candles
melting under the combined heat Of
their own light and the sun. Candles,
many of which were expensive impor-
tations from Italy, were an important
part of the festival, and it was estimat-
ed that more than seven tons of them
were used.
I Hundreds Of pilgrims from out Of
town were forced to live in the streets,
and 300 policemen were detailed to pre-
serve order.

The reason the electric fan cold" Is
so often accompanied by sore throat
Is, according to a doctor whose loca-
tion brings him many such cases, that
the draught made by the fan carries so
much dust with it. THE fact u.s." says
this authority. that the air stirred by
the fan is not fresh air, unless the fan
is backed up against an open window,
When operating in an inside room or
in similar places, where, it is most ap-
preciated, the fan uses the same air
over and over, and this air gathers up

that the threatened famine in central,

M. Batut as he was experimenting with
kites in France. When a north wind
fioated the kite the latter kept its bal

from the south or southwest the kite
pitched and bobbed in a very singular
manner. The explanation was fur
nished by the character of the surface
