NEGOTIATIONS BLOCKED.
Intense Feeling in China in Regard to
Exclusion Treaty.

Washington, May 2O.-All hope of
the success of the pending negotia-
tions of the new Chinese exclusion
treaty for the present has been aban
doned by the Chinese officials, as a re-
suit of the wave of resentment that
has swept over China since it became
known thar it was planned to transfer
the negotiations to Pekin and that the
Department of Commerce and Labor
was insisting upon its own interpreta-
ton Of the exclusion law.
Reports. have reached the Chinese
legation of the extent Of this feeling
throughout the Chinese empire and of
the hostility of the Chinese CONNER
Cial guilds to American goods. which
might result il is asserted, in gen
eral boycott against American prod
ucts even were it possible to conclude
the exclusion treaty now.
The Chinese legation here declares
that there is no intention of bringing
suit in the Supreme Court of the
United States in behalf of the Chinese
excluded or deported, in view of the
treaty Of 1855. ~All such infringe,
ments OF that treaty. the legation holds
to be diplomatic matters entirely and
an appeal will be had not to the
courts, but to the state department
Briefly put. the position of the legation
here. which reflects that Of the Pekir
government is stated as follows:
The expiration last December OF
the exclusion treaty of 1894 leaves II
force the treaty Of 1880. The legation
does not for moment question the
right of the duty of the department
of commerce and labor to enforce eX
listing laws. The relations of the
United States and China, are, however
regulated by treaty and not by laws
and it is expected that any violation
of existing treaties will be fully com
pensated for by indemnity.

Topeka, Kan, May 2O.-The United

THE REFoRMAroRY is ASSURED
Measure Will BE Considered in the
Senate.

The outlook for the establishment of
a reformatory in Georgia within the
next year is considered exceedingly
bright. The only general measure of
any consequence which the House has
passed and sent to the Senate is that
providing for the establishment of
state reformatory for youthful crimi-
mails. This bill was read the first time
in the Senate yesterday and referred
to committee. At the very earliest it
cannot be taken up for action by the
Senate before Wednesday, as it will
have to be read on three separate days,
but there is nothing to prevent the
Senate from disposjng of 1t during the
present week. The general belief is
that the Senate is decidedly favorable
to this measure, and that it Will get as
proportionateIy a good vote in that
body as in the House, where it went
through by 1879 to %.

AMERIcus IN EXCELLENT GAME
Wrested Decisive Victory from the
Visitors,

SVtsStSo a decisive victory from the
Visitors,
The very best and by far the most in
teresting game played here this season
was that on yesterday when Americas
"Invincibles" went up against strong
array OF artists playing as Montezuma's
team; a good one at best and very
strong yesterday.
And vast multitude cheered the OPP
posing teams and yelled themselves into
a frenzy of ecstacy when Americus, IN
the latter half of the ninth inning,
wrested victory from the visitors.
Then it was that the old dell rever~
berated with warwhoops.
It was "dandy" game from start to
finish, and was watched with intense
interest by packed grand stand,
crowded bleachers; from the tops of
fences and even from tree tops For
the Americas small boy, with and with
out the quarter, was upon the scene.
In the first inning Montezuma scored
one run, and right there she scored her
last as well.
In the second, third, fourth, fifth.
sixth, seventh and eighth it was nip
and tuck with both teams, neither
scoring run. Even as the ninth in
hing proceeded 1t seemed that Monte
yuma, who had already scored one, was
going TO win the game.
Half the ninth inning had been play
ed. and still there was nothing dong
for the Americas team.
But their mettIe was up; the great
audience swayed with suppressed ex-
citemen', and then went into Mysteries
as two men on bases came down the
home stretch and scored, thus giving
Americas the victory at the finish post,
the score being two to one
Hats and coats filled the air and yells
burst through the dell like Jap bombs
at Mukden. 1t was the game of the
seaaon.and Amerieus won it.

The railroads, 1t is said, are tired of
the cheap and unremunerative excur-
sion, and will operate but few more of
them in future. They declare that they
do not pay, They say that they get
all of the frst-cIass business they can
handle with comfort and that they do
not care to bother with the ordinary
cheap excursions. In fact, there are
fewer excursions this year than in any
previous year in decade The rail-
roads, when asked to run an excursion,
declare they hardly have sufficient cars
to take care of the regular business OF
their liues; therefore they do not care
to consider any additional or excursion
business. There will be fewer cheap
rates in the future than in the past, and
if it were possible the railroads would
cut them out altogether.
