Lying About America in China.

In press dispatch sent out from this
town last night appears the following:
For six months the situation In China
has been the subject of genuine concern TO
the department. and Mr.. Rockhlil, the
American minister at Picking, Is under ln-
structions to keep Washington thoroughly
in touch with the situation. He Is also ex-
ertng himself at the Chinese capital In an
effort to check or aliay the anti-Ameriean
feeling that appears to be growing. While
II is not admitted that the situation Is one
of immediate danger, the officials here Will
not he surprised at any developments a
month may bring forth.
although at the outset demanding only
return to the provisions of the original
exclusion treaty of 1880 which shut from
this country Chinese laborers without speei-
flying the classes of Cinnamon which should
be admitted. manifestoes have been issued
in some provinces saying that II the boy
colt is rigidly enforced America VIII De
driven to forego any exclusion at all MT.
RockhiIl has pointed out the falstty of such
q view.
This bears out the statement repeatedly
made by The Star that the real object of
all this hullabaloo is the free admission of
coolies into the United States. Here are
whole provinces in China where the boycott
tiers are adjured to keep up their knock
ing" and assured that If they do the exclu-
sion bars in America will come down. With
the coolies trumpeting In China, and the
American Asiatic Association blowing its
horn over here, can the walls of jericho
much longer stand? We shall see. II they
fall the new miracle will be quite as start
ling as was the old.
The most remarkable feature of all this
business is the fact that the coolies are not
the only Cinnamon misled about sentiment
and conditions in the United states re-
speeding the Chinese The special embassy
now touring this country, and headed by
two of the most distinguished officials In
China landed in a state of trepidation and
requested of the Chinese consul at San
Francisco police protection for themselves
and party. Evidently they feared some
what for their lives. They were promptly
assured that no danger existed, and have
since been so Hospitality received every
where that they must smile at their own
expense when they recall their earlier feel
ings. Instead of hostile people. they find
a people very friendly toward them and
their purposes. and DESTROYS of assisting
them In their quest for information about
undermining their home government. Their
reports home on this subject viii. We may
be sure open the eyes OF all who may read
them.
1t would be a great mistake for Congress
to tinker in any way with the exclusion
law. All that is necessary is to execute the
law In its spirit. and with perfect fairness
toward all classes. Shut no man out who
Is entitled to come IN and be very particu-
lar TO let no man in who should stay out A
thousand coolies have probably sneaked In
where one merchant or student has been
for moment embarrassed by a rigid seru-
tiny of his papers.

Count Boni Bankrupt.

The world is just now enjoying the dis
closure of the Casteiiane family troubles,
threatening or rather promising fnaf
breach between the American wife of great
wealth and the foreign husband of title and

kind that has aroused much criticism in the
United States during the past few decades.

Partisanship in Considering Treaties

From the PhIladelphIa inquirer
Senator Patterson of Colorado is right
when he pronounces the mandates of party
caucus when treaties are to be consid-
cred as opposed to the spirit of the Consti-
tuition The democratic senators partici-
nated in such a caucus, but Mr.. Patterson
refused to be bound by it. All honor to
him. Partisanship in Congress has been
carried altogether too far in various diree-
tons Caucus action has become the rule
rather than the exception but when an eff
fort is made to drive party into one way
of thinking when such a non-partisan ques-
ton as a treaty with another country Is
sent to the Senate by the President, that
ceney. fair4play and independence.
