Portland, Ore, July 12.-President
William D. Wheelright of the Chamber
Of Commerce Of this city, on behalf Of
that organization, has sent a letter to
President Roosevelt bearing On the
question Of Chinese exclusion.
The letter urges President Roosevelt
to take Esteps toward negotiating a
new treaty with China that shall pro

conditions sthat now attach to- the en-
trance into this, conntrySof their mer-
chants, students and professional men,
for the 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. ~
American labor has little apprecia-
+ ton of its. own dignity and power, as
we'll as Of it's capabilities for improve
ment, if 1t raises objections to such
limited Chinese immigration as that
amounting in ten years to less than l

endeavors to deprive the nation of this
additional means to its own develop.

Pacific Mails Freight Contract
with Panama Railroad
~ Terminates.

= New York, July 1.-THE contract
between the Panama Railroad company
and the Pacific Mail Steamship com
pany, under which the latter has for
years enjoyed the exclusive privilege
Of handling freight on the Pacific side
on thru bills Of lading, will terminate
today. Hereafter all carriers will be
on parity. ,.
Mr.. .Bristow, reporting on the Pana-
ma railroad, recommended that if the
Pacific. Mail Steamship company with:
draws it's present Panama line, an eff.
fort be made to induce some other
company to establish frst-class serv-
ice, between the important Pacific coast
ports of the United States and Panama
and in the event that no other com
pany is prepared to furnish the service
that it be provided by the Panama
railroad.
The government does not expect that
that the Pacific mail will carry out its
threat to take it's vessels from the
Panama-San Francisco service.

ahduct Governor iOtero s. son has been
exposed. Eight ex-convicts are said to

demands, his son would be returned

coming and the demands not acceded
to, the cost to the governor would be the
life Of his son. -.

lice and secret service of the territory

and will leave no stone iunturned until

Delcasse Sees ALL Powerful Force

Paris, July l2.-Former Foreign Min
lister Decasse, in an interview published
by the Gaulois today on the Anglo
French naval amenities at Brest, was in
duced to discuss has general policy rel
ative to Great Britain and Germany.
He said:
! The policy of lions nowadays is not
based on sentiment or antipathy, but on
their material interests. AS between
Germany and Great Britain our CONNER
cial balance shows where our interests
lie. Great Britain is our best purchaser,
while Germany buys almost nothing of
us and tries to sell us all she can.
Moreover. 1t is evident that we could not
leave open irritating controversies with
Great Britain which. might precipitate an
armed struggle, for Great Britain holds
every warship we build she builds four
or five.
1t is therefore we'll to. accept these
manifest facts and consider the value
which British, co opera ton would give us
in certain eventualities. The greatest in
trinsic value of such cooperation would
be the virtual impossibiHty in which it
would place Germany of making war
upon us. Il,
