TRANsMlssIssIPPl CONGRESS.
Chinese Exclusion Law and Its Ro.
suits Chief Topic of Discussion.

Portland, Orc, Aug. 1S.-The Trans
mississippi Congress opened hero
Wednesday ard at once the Chinese
exclusion law and its results came up
for discussion. Governor Chamber
lain of Oregon had hardly finished the
perfunctory welcome to the congress
when he launched an emphatic dictum
to the effect that while the commercial
interests of China are valuable, the in
flux of horde of Chinese coolies into
the Pacific coast states is too high a
price to pay for it, and this. he said In
effect, would be the result II the ex
clusion laws were not administered
with the utmost stringency.
Though not SO emphatic in his dec
larations, Governor Mead expressed
similar views on the subject. The rep
resentatives in the congress of Ore
gon and Washington heartily ap-
plauded this sentiment, but the Cali
fornians, whose metropolis is credited
with almost q monopoly Of the $780,.
100000 import trade OF China, were
consplcuously silent.
That the better classes of Chinese
are Disseminated against TO an unwar-
ranted extent, that less stringent ad-
miaistration of the exclusion law, or II
necessary. limited reconstruction, is
advisable, was urged by the speakers
on oriental trade at the second days
session of the Transmississippi Com
mercial congress to-day.
These ideas wire brought ont with
especial force by Hon. John II. Barrett,
United States Minister TO Colombia.
and Theodore b. Wilcox. president of
the congress.
MIR. Barrett. during the course Of his
address. emphasized the point that It
is not TO compel the Introduction of
Coolie labor which the Chinese are
demonstrating against, but quito the
contrary. The boycott Is remon-
STRANGE because the sons OF noblemen.
refined and well educated gentlemen,
are held In the detention quarters by
unwise immigration officials at our
ports of entry for period Of ten days
at a time. and compelled to herd with
the lowest classes of their country
men during that time.
The congress listened TO number
OF addresses on various topics.

st. Petersburg. Aug. 19.-Emperor
Nicholas has to-day announced the
grant to the people of Russia OF a ma
tional consultative assembly to be
formed by elected representatives
from the whole Of Russia.
The new national assembly will be
consultative organization in connection
with the Council Of the Empire and
not legislative body. Tne powers OF
the Emperor remain theoretically alb
solute. AS the Emperor is the SUI
preme lawgiver and autocrat, the de-
cisions Of the Douma have only rec.
ommendatory and not binding force,
| though the rejection Of any legislative
measures by two-thirds majority OF
| both houses is sufficient to prevent
that measure from becoming law.
The representatives of the people
will have not only the right to be heard
on any legislation proposed by the
government but also can voice their
desires on new laws and will have the
right to exert certain supervision
over budgetary expenditures.
The suffrage, though wide, is not
universal 1t is based on property
qualifications, the peasantry having
vote through membership in communal
organizations. A considerable portion
of the residents of the cities, possess
ing no lands, together with women, so
diers. civil functionaries, etc., are with
out suffrage.
The term OF the Douma is to be five
years, but It can be dissolved by the
Emperor There is to be general ses-
sion, but the Douma will also meet
by sections. the length of the sessions
being determined by the Emperor. The
president and other officials are to be
elected by the members.
Paragraph 10 of Section provides
members of the Douma shall enjoy
freedom in exchanging their opinions
on matters within the competence of
the body, and are not to be responsible
to the electors"
Several sections are devoted to the
exemptions to be enjoyed by the men,
bers and the reasons for and the oc-
casions on whihc they can be deprived
of their membership. The Douma can
demand explanations from the minis
ters.

death Of Mrs. Frances Walsh. who was

ing. Miss Ward declared that after
Mrs. Walsh had forcibly entered the
bedroom where her husband had re-

which the husband insisted his wife

The conflicting statements of the
two most important witnesses in the

THE VALUE OF CHARCOAL.
Few People Know How Useful 1t is in
Preserving Health and Beauty.

Nearly everybody knows that charcoal
is the safest ard nose efficient disinfec-
tant and purifier IN nature. but few real
ize its value when taken into the hu-
man system for the same cleansing pur-
pose,
Charcoal is a remedy that the more
you take Ct il the better: 1t is not Z
drug at all but simply absorbs the gases
and impurities always present in the
stomach and intestines and carries them
out of the system.
Charcoal sweetens the breath after

All druggists sell charcoal in one form
or another. but probably, the best cshar-
