Of our wageworkers demands the exclu-
sion of the Chinese coolies. and it is
therefore our duty to exclude them, lust
as it would be the duty of China to ex-
clude American laboring men if they
became in any way a menace to China
by entering into her country. The right
Is reciprocal, and in our last treaty
with China it was explicitly recognized
as inhering in both nations.
But we should not only operate the
law with as little harshness as posi-
BILE. but we should show every courtesy
and consideration and every encourage
ment to all Chinese who are net Of the
l Ia class to come to this country.
Every Chinese traveller or student,
should be given she same right of en-
try to, and the same courteous treat
ment IN, this country as are accorded
to the student or traveller, the business
man or professional man of any other
nation.

that action | most earnestly hope will

terest and especially in the interest of
the Pacific slope and Of the South At
lantic and gulf states; for it is short
sighted indeed for us to, permit foreign
competitors to drive us from the great
markets Of China. Moreover, the ac-
ton ask is demanded by considera-
lions that are higher than mere inter.

just and right. America should take
the lead in establishing international
relations on the same basis of honest
and upright dealing which we regard as
essential as between man and man. - y.

tho islands from being improperly ex-
plotted they took measures Of such Sc
verify as seriously, and in some respects
vitality, to hamper and retard the devel-
opment of the islands. There is moth.
ing that the islands need more than to
have their great natural resources de-
veloped, and these resources can be de-
veloped only by the abundant use of
capital, which, of course, will not be put
into them unless on terms sufficiently
advantageous to offer prospects Of good
remuneration. We have made the
hibitory, with the result that American
capital goes into foreign countries, like
Mexico, and is there used with immense
advantage to the country in its devel-
opment, while it .cannot-go into our own
possessions or be used to develop the
lands under our own flag. The chief
sufferers by this state of things are the
people OF the islands themselves.
Square Deal Both Ways.
It is impossible too strongly to in
sist upon what ought to be the patent
fact that it is not only in the interest
Of the people Of wealth themselves, but
in our interest, in the interest of the
public as a whole, that they should be
treated fairly and Justly; that if they
show exceptional business ability they
should be given exceptional reward for
that ability. The tissues of our indus
trial fabric are interviewer in such com
plex: fashion that what strengthens or
weakens part also strengthens or weak
ems the whole.
If we. penalize industry we will
ourselves in the end have to pay con
siderable part of the penalty. If we
make conditions such that the men of
exceptional ability are able to secure
marked benefits by the exercise of that
ability, then we shall ourselves benefit
somewhat. It is our interest no less
than our duty. to treat them fairly. On
the other hand, it is no less their inter.

Bald Heads and Disease.

There are advantages accrulng even
from bald heads. 1t Is pointed out by
a writer in medical journal that bald
headed men never suffer from con-
sumption and that tendency to bald
ness Is an assurance that the dreaded
scourge will pass over him whose
thatch grows thin.
At first glance it would seem absurd
to argue that n mans hair Is indica-
tive Of his immunity from disease, but
the writer who advances this novel
theory declares that in the Ave years
during which he seriously added a rec.
ord of his patients hair or lack OF II
his case cards have failed to show q
single instance Of bald" being entered
upon the card Of consumptive.
He had under treatment more than
700 cases and he makes the further
statement that in census Of more
than 5000 tuberculosis cases he failed
to discover a single sufferer who was
bald.
He makes no effort to explain his
theory upon medical grounds, but sim
Div offers the results Of his observa
lions for the benefit Of the profession
and has invited his brother physicians
to write him Of any case Of bald
headed consumptive coming under
their observation.

WALLA WALLA WANTS
SAME RATES AS SPOKANE

Walla Walla, Aug. lO.-To distrib-
ute goods on an equality with Spokane,
which distributes goods for a radius Of
100 miles on an equality with Sound
cities, enabling the metropolis Of the
inland empire to build up valuable
jobbing trade, was the demand Of ship
pers Of Walla Walla, who appeared be
fore the state railroad commissioners
to urge their claims for recognition.
Advancing the claim that Walla
Walla is the natural distributing point
for all Of Southeastern Washington,
being 205 miles from Spokane and 25
miles from Portland, and pointing to
the size and situation Of the city az
additional argument in their favor,
the merchants who addressed the COM
mission confined themselves almost ex-
clusively to a discussion Of the alleged
discrimination which compels them
to pay tribute to their inland neighboI
and to Portland.

PRESIDENT HILL SAYS
They ARE PLOTTERS

New York, Aug. 1O.-James J. Hill
has set at rest the reports said to have
been spread among the striking teleg'
raphers of the Great Northern and
Northern Pacific roads that he would
intervene in their behalf in the CON
tention with the operating officers Of
the roads. Mr.. Hill said, in regard to
the case of the strikers, that the men
had been dismissed because they would
not obey orders.
"Men," continued Mr.. Hill, "whc
will embroil a railroad and its EN-.
ployes just at the beginning Of a season
when they know a heavy movement Of
traffic is expected, as at present with
the approach of crop movements, dc

Walla Walla in no manner poses as a
competitor Of Spokane on literal def.
milton of the word competitor. Nc
complaint was offered against the con-
cession enjoyed by Spokane.
1t was repeatedly said that in the
opinion of the speakers Spokane does
not enjoy any better rates than she IL
entitled to, but the rub is found in the
claim that Spokane is granted special
privileges detrimental to Walla Walla,
1t was also pointed out that il the
rates effective in Spokane were granted
to Walla Wslls the jobbers of the two
cities would not meet in common ter.
ritory at any place, with the possible
exception Of Franklin county. The
interests Of the two cities, it was stat.
ed, do not conflict.
Portland is the invading army
against which the business men Of
Walla Walla have to contend in the
contest for jobbing trade.

dealer says:
"Orders were issued Monday after
noon from the headquarters of the In
ternational Association Of Bridge and
Structural Iron Workers by Secretary
J. j. McNamara for q general strike
against the American Bridge Company
from Maine to California.
"It is estimated that between Is ZOO
and 100000 bridge and structural iron
workers will quit work. Bridge work
will be tied up in many parts Of the
country. The strike Of the iron work.
ers, when it comes, will affect thou

HARD LOT OF THE SEAMAN,
Why British Sailors Are Becom ing
Fewer Every Year Explained.

why Brittsh Sailors Are BecOm Ing
Fewer Every Year Explained.
Among the many matters that are
troubling Englishmen is the practical
disappearance Of the native British sea
man and the increase Of foreign sailors
on British ships. Perceval Gibbons
throws some light on the cause. He
says: "The life is not worth living.
The whole truth Of the affair is IN
the fact The Iates at which cargo
must be carried requires that the mere
food eaten shall be Of the lowest and
cheapest quality. The Board Of Trade
regulates the quantity and insures a
certain variety, but Il speak from ex-
perience) this svails nothing to make
the fare ordinarily palatable. Its sta
pie is biscuit, calt beef and salt pork.
Meals are eaten in the forecastle,
where a table or a bench Is a rarity,
end the men must find their own
plates, knives, forks and other equip
ment. The ship only gives the food
and the bare hunks.
THE wage Of a sailor Is always
small. Taking recent years 1 think a
fair average Of the monthly wage from
home ports would be $40. 1t means
that no sailor can bring up a family
or keep a wife, and it certainly means
that no man can hope to save enough
to insure some provision for his old
age AS a matter Of fact, never met
a seaman who attempted to. The mon
ey goes as soon as 1t is received in
esta blishing as sharp contrast as pos
sible with the aching discomfort anu
barrenness of life at sea. The man
has no appetite for delicacies. When
his term Of bitter hardship is at I'M
end he Graves for the strong meats Of
ruinous dissipation; and, the money
gone, he has no option but to ship
again as soon as possible and earn
some more.
I'm 1895 shipped in Philadelphia as
able seaman aboard wooden full
rugged ship. There We're seven able
seamen besides myself, four ordinary
seamen and boy. We had fearful
passage Of 176 days, during which we
lost four A. BIS and the boy Dur
ing thirty days off the Horn all hands
were called twenty-five times; we ran
short of water and food and when VIZ
loosed the halyards in Sacramento Bay
we were too done up to lower away
and let the yards come crashing down
on to the caps. 1t was about as hard
a passage as a ships company ever ex.
perienced.
Next day we were paid of. Ny
wages were $12. and were the best OF
those received by the able seamen. The
ordinary seamen drew under $40. The
boarding masters in sanity Philadel
phia had eaten us up, and within A
week most Of rs were at sea again.
was ashore only eight days, and then
had to give note for two months pay
in order to get on ship"

Requests Arbitration.

St. Paul, Mimi, Aug. 10.-The first
definite step looking toward arbitra-
ton of the struggle which has been in
progress for over week between the
Great Northern and Northern Pacific
railways and the Order Of Railway
Telegraphers was taken yesterday af-
ternoon, when Gov. John A. johnson
addressed letters to Presidents j. j.
Hill and Howard Elliott, Of the rail
ways, and President H. B. Perham, of
the telegraphers, urging a settlement
Of the trouble and Offering his services
as mediator.
The exact terms of the letters writ
ten by Gov. johnson are not known,
as the governor preferred that they
should be given out by the recipients,
if they saw fit. In a general way,
however, the governor outlined to the
Associated Press what was contained
in the letters.

He called the attention Of the off
cials to the fact that the present strike
was working hardship in various

appealed to them to take speedy steps
to secure an adjustment Of the existing
troubles. To this end he rendered the
good offices of the chief executive, say
ing that he stood ready to appoint a
commission to consider the differences
between the contending parties, or in
any other way to assist them to come
to some agreement that would permit
the roads to move their traffic without
the delays and inconvenience that are
now said to exist.
Gov. johnson was prompted to take
this action by numerous letters he has
received from commercial organiza.
lions and citizens of the state, urging
him to take some measure to end the
struggle. The governor stated that he
had some letters which declared that
business in sections Of the state wat
almost psralyzed by the conditions
which now prevail.
There were no other developments in
the situation during the day. Both
sides are still claiming that conditions
are improving from their standpoint
with each passing day.

MAKES LITTLE Difference.
II Ri0ht.Of.Vay Is Exempt Easement
Can Be Taxed.

IAN DC 6XS0.
Olympia, Aug. 10.-The contention
made to county boards of equalization
that the Northern Pacific right of way
from Lake Superior to Puget Sound is
exempt from taxation, will profit that
company nothing, even if sustained,
according to j. H. yesterday, of the
state tax commission. Mr.. yesterday
said:
81 have always rather anticipated
the contention now made by the rail-
road companies Of exemption from tax
alton of their right Of way. This con-
tention is probably based on a recent
decision Of the courts that the fee to
the right of way never passed from the
government to the railroad company.
"The result of this will be as broad
as it is long, for. if the fee does not
pass, perpetual easement passes to
the railroad company, and this perpet.
ual easement is species Of property,
and this species of property is as valu-
able for the purposes of railroad con-
veniences as if they owned the fee. and
it is, therefore, equally valuable for
the purpose of taxation.
"Our statutes and our constitution
warrant the taxation of this species Of
property. The same reasoning applies
in this matter as was held by the board
in the taxation Of fish trap locations.
cit is also true that in the event
that it is found impossible to tax the
right OF way the tangible property To-
GATED on this right Of way would be
enhanced in value to an amount equal
to that which the railroad companies
would be exempted by reason of the
non. taxation of their right Of way.
cit is not probable that this board
will become greatly alarmed over the
contention made by the tax agents OF
the railroad company until it has been
fully determined by the courts that
the right of way should not be taxed,
at which time the board feels that
ways will be devised, by legislation II
necessary, to see that no avenue Of es'
cape from equal taxation is left open
to them"
