CHINESE WANT OPEN DOOR.
Win Probably Decline to Sigu Any Exclusion
Treaty.

Washington, d. c. (Specia).-Some
doubt is expressed in official circles
whether it will be possible to obtain
China's consent TO another treaty with
the United States providing for even
the exclusion of Chinese laborerS from
this country.
The State Department is aware of the
i'll feeling throughout China on the whole
subject, and now that the immigration
treaty with China has been allowed to
lapse without the negotiation Of a new
agreement reports have reached here
that China Is inclined hereafter to refuse
to sign any similar convention.
China'S position appears to be that
the exclusion of Chinese citizens from a
friendly country is in itself 4 disgrace,
and while she cannot ignore the laws of
a foreign power providing for such ex-
CluSiOn she can refuse TO sanction it or
become part of il by concluding a treaty
involving such restrictions. 4 year ago,
it is said. il would have been easy 70
conduct negotiations with China for the
exclusion of Chinese laborers only. Now,
however, it is understood, the Chinese
officials are disposed TO regard the sign
ing of such treaty beneath the dig
nifty OF their Government.
The reason for the assumption at Pc
kin OF this new attitude is not quite clear
10 the officials here, though in some cir
cles it was attributed TO the influence
of foreign powers.
