WASHINGTON, June 25.-By direc-
ton of President Roosevelt, action has
been taken by the administration
which not only will facilitate the land
ing in this country of Chinese OF
the exempt classes, but will also elm
mate from the immigration bureau such
administrative features as have been
the subject of criticism by Chinese. 1t
is the declared intention of the presi'
dent to see that Chinese merchants
travellers, students and others of the
exempt classes shall have the same
courtesy shown them by officers of the
immigration bureau as is accorded to
citizens of the most favored nations.
Representations have been made to
the president that in view of alleged
harsh treatment accorded to many Chi
nese seeking a landing in the Unlted
States, the commercial guilds of China
have determined to institute a boycott
on American manufactures. The rep
resentations, backed by the authority
of the American Asiatic society and
commercial bodies throughout the
country, induced the president to make
an investigation of the situation with
view to remedying the evils COM
planned of if they were found to exist.
The subject was discussed thoroughly
with Secretary Metcalf of the depart
ment of commerce and labor, who has
supervision of the immigration bureau.
AS result of the inquiry orders have
been issued to the diplomatic and con-
sular representatives of the United
States in China by the president him

self that they must look closely to the
performance of their duties under the
exclusion law, and see to it that mem
bers of the exempt classes coming to
this country are provided with proper
certificates. These certificates will be
accepted at any port of the United
States, and will guarantee the bearer
against any harsh or discourteous
treatment. Such treatment, indeed, will
be the cause of the instant dismissal
of the offending official, whoever he
may be.
In addition to the presidents orders
Secretary Metcalf has issued instruc-
tions to the immigration officers which
it is believed will remedy the difficulty
heretofore complained of by the Chi
nese government and individuals. 1T
is anticipated that the prompt action
taken by the government to meet the
objections by the Chinese will eliminate
the possibility of serious trade difficult
ties between China and the manufac-
turers of this country.
These orders are supplemented by a
letter to the president from Secretary
Metcalf setting out the provisions of
the law under which the bureau of inn
migration operates in relation to Chi
nese immigrants, and by the new in
structions issued to immigration Of
ficers regarding their treatment of Chi

SACRAMENTO, June 25.-Acting
Governor Alden Anderson today an
nounced the appointment of commits
sion of three, specially deputized to in
vestigate the rumors of scandal and
graft affecting the state board of dental
examiners. The commission will be
composed of A. j. Pillsbury, secretary
Of the state board of examiners and
two members of the last assembly, F.
A. Cromwell of Petaluma and Frank A.
Devlin of Vallejo. Unofiicially 1t is
stated that there is no probability of
important action being taken until
after August 1.
Publications rejecting upon the in
tegrity of members of the state dental
board had attracted the notice of Gov
ernor Pardee before his departure for
Oregon, and at that time, after con-
ference with Lieutenant Governor An
derson, he decided upon the action
made public today and authorized the
lieutenant governor to act.
In his letter to Secretary Pillsbury,
Acting Governor Anderson says that
he will leave to the good judgment of
the commission the selection Of a
method of procedure. AS to the pur-
pose, he explains that the commission
is to sft the rumors relating to
charges of improper conduct which
have been given public utterance, both
in the press and by members of the
state dental board. He expects that
the commission, If it finds the charges
unsubstantiated by fact, to vindicate
the members, and If false to expose,
and IL possible, punish the guilty.
1t is probable that the commission
will hold meeting early this week.
for the purpose of organization, and
that adjournment will then be taker
until August /, when the investigation
will actually begin. The delay, it is
said, is due to the fact that Secretary
Pillsbury and Assemblyman Devlin
before being named had planned to
leave the state for brief time.

ST. PETERSBURG, June 26, 1851
a. m.-Negotiations for the peace con-
ference have taken an important step
forward and a proposition for the date
of the meeting of the plenipotentiaries
at Washington have been submitted to
Russia and are now under considera-
tion.
The exact date proposed has not been

is about the earliest period at which
the Japanese representatives could pe
expected TO reach Washington, allow
ing reasonable time for the acceptance
of the proposal and the Interchange

problem that we of the United States
are facing"
Bitter Feeling of Chinese
The bitter feeling of the Chinese
against the enforcement of the United
States exclusion laws was clearly
demonstrated in st. Louis recently
when HUE Choon, assistant superinten-
dent of the Chinese Christian mission
of that city, wrote for publication the
following pertinent remarks:
1--WE, both Chinese merchants and
students, are combined together against
the exclusion act. If you treat us kind
ly we will treat you kindly; if you treat
kindly"
Continuing, Huie Choon spoke of the
danger to American commerce by the
enforcement of the exclusion laws. He
said in this connection:
1.-The exclusion act is a great danger
to American commerce in China. The
boycott of American made goods is
spreading throughout the Chinese en-
lish everywhere how the great Chris
tian nation, the United States, treats
us by excluding Chinese merchants,
students and officials.
Numbers of Chinese merchants came
to the worlds fair last year and they
returned to China and have been lectur-
ing to the various Chinese commercial
associations and trade guilds at Sharg~
hal, informing them how the American
government had treated them, by de-
laying their goods and keeping them in
Jail, and also asking for bonds. They
never were In Jail in all their lives until
they came to this Christian nation.
IL. Young Fong, who is an active
business man of Shanghai and prom
nent member Of the Shanghai Young
Mems Christian association. brought
$4,000 worth of goods to the worlds
fair. The custom officials of San Fran
cisco detained him and delayed his
goods until he gave bond. Mr.. Fong
lost his $SO,OOO entirely during the
worlds fair in this country. He has re-
turned to China and has become one of
the starters of the movement among
our people to boycott American-made
goods"
The Japanese Invasion
When Rev. p. J. Stockman of the
Catholic diocese of Los Angeles and
Monterey returned recently from a trip
through Japan he made this significant
declaration:
"The japanese invasion of America
during the next few years is one of the
most serious problems that will COLI
front the people of this country, and
especially in coast cities. Japan is
overcrowded and it will not be many
years before her subjects are coming to
this country in much greater numbers
than at present. The resources Of Japan
are not enough to support such an i'm
mense population, and the more pro-
gressive of her citizens will seek new
fields. They will come here and go into
business and will become a factor with
whom the Americans must reckon"
Father Stockman expressed II as his
opinion that within the next fifteen o.
twenty years one store in five In th1

Chinatown Is Astir
Chinatown was astir last night as the
result of The Herald's publication.
Barber shops, restaurants, fruit stands
and tobacco stores were the general
rendezvous for hundreds of interested
Chinese who clustered in little groups
to discuss in excited tones the all-im-
portant topic of Chinese soldiers in
America.
That there are $4,000 Chinese in the
United States who are fast learning the
intricacies of American military tactics
is in all probability well known to
local Chinese, but the fact that it be-
came known and was exposed through
the columns of The Herald is what now
puzzles them.
Among members of the national guard
yesterday The Herald's article was
discussed from every view point, but
few were ready to express opinions for
publication. That the question as to
whether court martial proceedings may
be instituted on account of regularly
enlisted state militiamen acting as
drillma sters, ETC., for foreigners here
has been raised is regarded by many
as very significant.
Said a we'll known business man of
Los Angeles in discussing the Chinese
question:
There will naturally he much specu-
lation as to the significance of the
existence of the great armed aggre-
CATION of Mongolians in this country
and this persistent influx of yellow
men.
Predicts Early Conflict
"A few days ago a friend of mine,
who is well known throughout Cali
fornia and who for years has been
close student of International affairs
and is exceptionally well posted on
Orientalism. declared that war between
the United States and China and Japan
combined is inevitable with the next

believing as 1 do that there is more

race. their territory is overcrowded,
they having approximately one-half the
population of the world. Europe Is cer-
tainly not an inviting field, for 1t is
also crowded; but America is the Mecca
of the fortune hunter. The triumph of
Japan over Russia and the praise of
the Japanese by the American press has
brought them dreams of conquest on
the Pacific. The discovery of Japanese
nobiemen who are acting as cooks and
menials on board American warships
