OUR WASHINGTON
NEWS NOTES.
LATE NEWS ITEMS FROM OUR
NATIONS CAPITOL
PLANS REVERSED QUICKLY
Secretary TAFT has Decided that Meth
or Ships Nor ANY Great Amount Of
Canal Material win Be Bought
Abroad.

Secretary Morton has replied to a
communication received at the Navy
Department from the Humane Socie-
BY at Galveston, which alleged that
seamen on the cruiser of that name,
which recently visited the city had
been ill-treated by their commanding
Dficers. Newspaper clippings bearing
on the conduct Of the sailors while ip
port were enclosed in the society's let
ter. Secretary Morton expressed an
appreciation Of the motives Of the HUI
name Society, and then proceeds to
comment very severely upon the en-
closed newspaper clippings. These
slippings stated that many of the sail
Ors were drunk while ashore and were
confined in the Coop that the off,
GERS called the men profane names,
and that police court officer was Sc
verely assaulted aboard the ship by
blue jackets. Secretary Morton says
that if the facts are as stated there
Is very bad element in the crew who
have no proper place in the navy, and
that the conduct Of the men amply ex-
eused any lawful action which her
commanding officer might take to pre-
serve order and disciplins. The sec
retary concludes: "The department
can not sufficiently express its regret
that the men on the Galveston should
have thus conducted themselves, and
expresses the hope that the report may
have been exaggerated in large degree,
as well as the statements made in the
same article that the police anthori-
ties were not disposed to assist in the
return of the men to their duties on
board ship, as otherwise the only eG-
fective means 10 prevent the recur-
renee of similar occurrences would be
to restrict the visits Of national ships
to your harbor to the limit Of prohibi-
tion. until the unfortunate effect which
may have been created in the minds
OF the law-abiding citizens Of Calves
ton have been obliterated."

China intends to meet the exclu-
sion question by boycotting American
goods. This was the plain statement
made officially at the Chinese Lega-
ton. Asked what was meant by the
action of China in deciding not to
purchase our goods, the Minister
added: at means business. China
will not buy a yard of American goods
while America violates her treaty OBJ
legations by excluding or deporting
Chinese" The Minister further ex-
planned that the treaty of 1868 be-
tween China and America gave full
freedom of intercourse. Chinese
could. under that treaty, come to
America and America could trade with
China. This treaty Of 1880, which pro-
yided that the United States and Chi
ma might make an agreement exelud-
ing Chinese laborers. This was done
in 1894 by a treaty limited to ten
years, which treaty expired last year.
The expiration of this treaty, the Chi
nese diplomat asserted, places the two
countries in the position in which they
were placed by the treaty of 1880.
Every Chinaman excluded or deported
is excluded or deported in violation of
the treaty obligations of the United
States to China. The only way in
which there can be such exclusion, the
Chinese hold, is by treaty providing
for it. No such treaty is now in force.
Not only will China boycott American
goods, the diplomat said, but it is col
lecting data to make basis for in
demnity because OF the exclusion and
deporting Of Cinnamon contrary to
treaty rights.
