Exclusion Of Chinese.

Washington, May 26.-During
the course of a listless days
legislation on the diplomatic
and consular bill in the house
today Champ Clark of Missouri
stated that he had heard whis-
perings that the Chinese exclu-
sion law was to be modified to
affect all classes of Chinese with
the exception of coolie labor.
He gave notice that if there was
any such intention ON the part
of the majority he would fight
such change to the last ditch;
that he had been somewhat in
strumental in putting the Chi
nese exclusion law on the statute
books and that for one he would
not agree to its modification.
The house, after making a few
amendments to the diplomatic
bill, adjourned until Monday.

OUTLOOK now IS VERY DARK
House Of Russian Parliament Re
jects the Cars Policy and
Vote Lack of Confidence.

st. Petersburg, May 26.-At
the end of a memorable seven
hour session the lower house of
parliament Indignantly rejected
the governments policy as pre-
sented by Premier Goremykin,
and, with only seven dissenting
voices, voted a lack of confidence
in the ministry.
This practically throws down
the gauntlet to the bureaucracy
with demand for the retire
ment of the present cabinet and
its suppression by a ministry
approved by majority i'll the
house.
The spirit of revolution is in
the air, and q conflict between
the crown and the nation ap-
pears inevitable. While the
house avoided the appearance of
delegating an ultimatum, there
seems to be no alternative be-
tween surrender and war. The
gloomiest foredoings are hard to
night and the general impress
sion is that the country is OH the
verge Of a titantic struggle,
which may be delayed, but not
averted. Dispatches from the
interior indicate that the strug-
gle may be inaugurated with a
general strike when the people
learn that all amnesty has been
refused.

Fair Association.

| A meeting of the New Mexico
territorial fair committee was
held this morning at the office
of the manager, p. +. McCanna,
and very important business was
brought up and discussed.
1t was decided, after partial
financial report had been made,
that subscriptions had progress
ed far enough now to take nee
essary action toward paying off
the outstanding indebtedness of
the fair.
1t was the wish of the COM
mittee that every person holding
a bill or a claim of any kind
against the fair to present the
same in person, or mail to the
manager, at room II, Grant build
ing at once, as the executive
committee will hold another
meeting on Wednesday night, at

if found correct, authorize their
payment.
Any person holding checks is
sued by the officials of last years

therefor will be issued to the

Any person residing outside
of this city, holding checks and
which have not already been

the First National bank of this
city, when new checks will be
issued for them and mailed to

otherwise made.
Any obligation held by outside
newspapers will be paid at once,
and while it is understood bills
have previously been presented,
the present management asks
for new bills, so action can be
taken on them and payments
made at the earliest day.

mornings meeting to request all

More EARTHQUAKES,

st. Paul, May ga special
to the Dispatch from Houghton,
Mich, says: Fifty-seven seismic
shocks shook this vicinity today.
Buildings rocked like cradles

cracks in the earth from two to
six inches in width. The dis
turbance seemed to center in
the Atlantic mine, which shut

Of progress made by his country.
His conquest excites the wonder
and admiration and commands
the respect of thinking men
throughout the world.
The deeds, the records, of
our American soldiers are the
heritage of all.
The marches; the bivOuacs (;
the struggles through dust, mud
and blood; the battles; the
wounds; the sickness far from
loved ones; the heart-aches at
defeats and disappointments;
the death in the heat of battle,
the lingering, prolonged, death
from fever and pestilence, many
times without food, water or
care-these are parts of the
great price our dead comrades
paid for their devotion to soldier
ly duty-the great sacrifice they
made on the altar of their coun-
try.
As We decorate their graves
today, may our patriotism broad
en-, if it has not done SO al
ready, until it includes all parts
of our land-broaden until the
last, lingering vestige of section

tive duties Of Decoration Day to

the tables prepared by the in
surance experts, and l find the
last survivor of the Civil war is
scheduled to leave this life in
November 1943-37 years hence.
Let us go forward, in fancy,

194l. / see a procession moving
toward a park. There are bands
of music and singing children
and quantities of flowers. Near
the head of the procession, seat
ed side by side, in a carriage,
are two, hite-haired veterans
of the great Civil war-one an
ex-Union and the other an ex-
Confederate soldier-two of the
81 yet living.
Regardless Of the number of
survivors of any particular war,
the American people will per-
petuate Decoration Day. 1t

can any other day. When you
homer our dead you strengthen
the silken ties that bind us to-
