AGAINST CHINESE EXCLUSION.
President of Portland Chamber of
Commerce Urges New Treaty.
(By the Associated Press }

Portland, Ore, July 12-President
William ID. Wheelright. of the Cham
Der of Commerce, of this city, on be-
half of that organization, has sent
letter to President Roosevelt bearing
upon the question of Chinese exclu-
sion.
The letter urges President Roosevelt
to take steps to ward negotiating a
new treaty with China that shall pro-
vide for the removal of the exactinG
conditions that now attach to the en-
trance into this country of their mer-
chants, students and professional men
for absolute freedom of all Chinese
residents of this country to visit their
own land and return here, and for
the admission during the next ten
years of a number of male Chinese
laborers that in any one year shall not
exceed one-tenth of one per cent of
the population of this country. Ameri-
can labor has little appreciation of its
own dignity and power as well as OF
it's capabilities for Improvement, if it
raises objections to such limited
Chinese immigration as that-amount-
ing in ten years to less than one per
cent of our pop>.lation-and thus en-
deavors to deprIte the nation of this
additional means to it's own develop
ment, not only in this country, but
in the Hawaiian and Philippine is
lands and Panama
The President is asked to give pub
licity to his intentions In this regard
as soon as practicable.

SEVERAL DARING ROBBERIEs.

Especial to News and Observer.)

Especial to News and Observer.)
Washington, N. c., July 12.-There
have been a number of daring rob-
berries committed recently, the thieves
making a speciality of the saloons as u
source whence to haul their booty.
The saloon of G. D. Smith was broken
into, but only a small sum of money
and some whiskey was taken. Then
the bar of BergerOn and Cutler was
burglarized through the rear window
and some whiskey stolen.
The same thief presumably entered
the saloon of w. A. Scott and made
off with some small change and a
small quantity of whiskey. Some en-
terprising rogue is trying to eVade the
anti-jug law obviously.
Messrs. William Bragaw and Com
pany have purchased the property of
the Old Dominion Steamship Company
at the foot of GLADDEN. street, and
have incorporated the Old Dominion
Warehouse Company to conduct a
general warehouse business. The in
corporators are Messrs. William, S. c.,
H. c., J. G.. and Richard Bragaw.
This piece of property is a most valu-
able one, and has several hundred
feet of wharfage which is now at
premium in this city.
AS a storage warehouse its facilities
are unsurpassed by anything here.

. Inquiry, He Says After Hearing
Cheatham's Statement. Asserts
Correctness of Report on
Reduction of Acreage.
(By the Associated Press.)

Atlanta, Ga, July .-Presidept
Harvie Jordan, of the Southern Cot
ton Association, after hearing the re-
port of Secretary Richard Cheatham
with reference to the investigation of
the Bureau of Statistics at Washing
ton, today authorized the following in
terview for publications:
The report of the investigation into
the manipulation and leakage of the
cotton bureau reports, as conducted by
Secretary Cheatham during the past
five weeks, has been entirely satisfac-
tory. The charges preferred by the
association have been fully substan-
tiated and the investigation of the
Bureau of Statistics along other lines
will be vigorously pressed by the asso-
citation. We will not be content to let
the matter drop where it is as we are
satisfied that others besides Holmes
should be relieved of further connec-
ton with the department.
President Roosevelt has already ta-
ken active steps in the matter and still
more important disclosures may De
looked for in the near future.
The Southern Cotton Association
feels assured that it's report on the
acreage, issued at New Orleans on May
81 was correct and believes that d
fair and full revision of the bureau
report issued June 3 will substantiate
the correctness of the associations re-
port, showing the actual reduction in
the cotton acreage for 1905 to be not
less than 1S.43 per cent"

eminently ualified to undertake the
dicult task of negotiating peace with
Japan.
Through the Emperor on two pre-.
vious occasions has fatly declined to
accept M. Witte, he has now indicated
his readiness to make the appoint

not be actually signed until Foreign

has been NJ. Whites warm supporter,
has had an audience with the Emperor

NJ. Witte's selection undoubtedly
will be hailed as a practical assur
ance of peace. While it would be a
mistake to denominate him as
"peace-at-any-pT price" man, NJ. Witte
earnestly believes that the struggle
should be ended and should be Auc-
cceded by an understanding between
Russia and Japan which would ensure
peace in the Far East for half a CEN
tury Indeed he is personally be-
lieved to be in favor of a Russo-Jap-
aneSe alliance.
The conduct of the negotiations by
Nj. Witte. it is felt by the peace party
here, would inspire instant confidence
in Japan.
NJ. Muravieff's retirement, ostensibly
owing to reasons of i'll health, is in
reality due to the fact that the EN-
peror became convinced that the ne
gotiations might be jeopardized if he
went to Washington. NJ. Muravieff
