BOYCOTT BOTHERS
HIGH OFFICIALS
PRINCIPAL TOPIC DISCUSSED
BY THE CABINET.
FAIR TREATMENT WANTED
The President Determined the Chinese
Shall Have Fair Treatment When
They Apply for Admission to this
Country at Any Port.

Washington Chinese immigration
to this country and the execution of
the Chinese exclusion laws constituted
the principal topic of discussion at
last meeting of the cabinet.
1t was the last meeting Of the cabi-
net to be held before President Roose-
velt shall leave Washington for the
summer. As result many depart
mental matters which have been pend
ing have been taken up and of some
matters final disposition was made.
The situation which has arisen out
Of the enforcement Of the Chinese ex-
clusion law has been regarded both
by tire President and members of his
cabinet as serious. As Secretary Hay
puts it, there seems to be more trou-
BILE over the administration of the law
than in the law itself. In fact, he ex-
pressed the belief that too much time
was spent in developing evidence
against Chinese who presumably were
entitled to enter the country. The
president made it clear at the meeting
that he was determined the Chinese
should have fair treatment under the
law whenever they applied for admis-
sion to this country at any port. He
believed this was not only in the inter
est of American manufacturers and
business men, but no more than lust
to the Chinese.
While no definite decision was
reached, it was the generally express
ed opinion that amicable diplomatic
and trade relations which this coun-
try had always maintained with Chi
na. should Re continued if possible. To
tffis end Secretary Hay will take ac-
ftion in. behalf of this country The
report that the commercial guilds of
China -have entered into hard and
fast agreement to boycott American
made goods has a disturbing effect on
American producers interested in the
Chinese trade. 1t will be the effort
of this government to endeavor to cor
rect any misapprehension that may
exist in China as to the too harsh en-
foreement of the Chinese exclusion
law.
Secretary Metcalf of the Depart
ment of Commerce and Labor, who
has direct supervision of the Immi-
grafton Bureau, does not believe that
unnecessary harshness is used in the
out sasss@ss9t as ss1 ef the !.a15.H !aM He pointed
United States trade with China in
cotton goods alone for the ten months
of the present fiscal year had aggre-
gated $21, 100000, as against $3,0OO,-
900 for the previous fiscal year. He
hoped this trade would not be disturb
<ed through any misunderstanding, and
expressed the belief that it would con-
tinue to increase. This. was the last
meeting probably which Secretary
Morton will attend, as he expects for
mally to sever his connection with the
administration on the last day Of the
month.

Pardon Whitecaps.

1t is learned that petitions are in
circulation in the counties Of Frank
lin and Lincoln asking the governor to
pardon the Lincoln County whitecap-
pers, who were sentenced to the pen
itentiary some months ago. 1t is said
that the petitions originated in Frank
lin county, where none of the white
cappers have yet been tried. 1t is
said that the Lincoln county Law and
Order League is preparing to take a
hand in the matter, and will fight the
effort being made to get these men
pardoned. The men were convicted
last November and those who spent
their time and money in getting up
the evidence on which they were con-
victed, it is believed, do not believe
that they should be released so soon

Bond Issue May Be Necessary.

Gov. Vardaman is very much of the
opinion that it will be necessary to
borrow 100000 before the end of the
year to meet prospective deficit in
the state treasury. The governor has
not yet thoroughly made up his mind
on the subject, but he is inclined to
the belief that the probable receipts
as estimated in the statement from
Treasurer Miller a few days ago may
not be realized and this would leave
the treasury without funds until the
fall tax collections arrive in January
On the other hand Mr.. Miller is equal
ly confident that he will be able to get
along without the 100000 loan au-
thorized by the legislature, and that
his figures are substantially correct
He does not object to the sum being
borrowed, of course, and is quite will
ing to acquiesce in whatever the gov
ernor decides to do in the matter.
