THE HARRINGTON PUBLISHING co
CHINESE EXCLUSION
Legislation One of the Subjects Dis-
 cussed by President.

Washington, Feb. 12.-Chinese excla- s.on legislation was one of the subjects discussed to-day by the president. Representative Perkins, of New York, a member of the subcommittee of the house foreign affairs committee, which has this subject under consideration, told the president that the matter soon would be taken up by the committee, ana that he had no doubt definite ac- ton would be taken. He said that it would be the effort of the committee to satisfy the objections now being made py the Chinese without admitting to this country Chinese coolies. Mir. Per- klns believed it would be the effort of congress to render less objectionable the laws enforced against the Chinese. Ills idea is that United States officials be located at a few important ports of Chlna, and that they issue to immi- grants to the United States certificates which shall be accepted on their ar rival In America as definite evidence of the right of the holders to land here. MT. Perkins says there is no intention on the part of congress to admit Chin- csc coolieS to this country.

NEW LABOR II. P.,S
Decide to Sit With Opposition-Hardie
 Chosen Chairman.

London, Feb. 12-The new labor par ty members of parliament to the num- Der of thirty who were nominated un- der the auspices of the labor repre- sentation committee, held their first meeting in a committee room of the house of commons this afternoon, and elected J. Keir Hardie, member for Merthyr Tydvil, chairman for the com ing session. The members who attend- ed the meeting also decided that they would sit on the opposition side of the house. This group is distinguished from the rest of the party by the fact that it is pledged not to enter into any alliance With the radical party, but to formulate it's own independent pro- gramme.
 The meeting also decided to co-oper- ate with the trades unionists members on labor bills, without formally ally ling themselves with that party.

MRS. ZEISLER OVERCOME
World Famous Pianiste Victim of Ner.
 vOus MelanchoIia.

Chicago, Feb. 12-For nearly eight hours to-day Mrs Fannie Bloomfield Zeisler the world-famous pianist, was missing from her home, and her friends and relatives, together with the police, were securing the south side of the city for her During the afternoon Mrs. Zesler returned to her home alone ut terly ehausted. She declined to say where she had been.
 For some time Mrs. Zeisler has been greatly troubled with her eyes, which have failed steadily, and the fear of being compelled to abandon her mt ical work had so preyed upon her mind that she had become subject to periods of melancholia. To-day she eluded her attendants and left the house alone. She was missed within few minutes, and her husband hurried after her. She had disappeared, however, and no trace was found of her until she returned.
 MT. Zeisler said tonight:
 Mrs. Zeisler was very nervous when she returned, being on tie verge of collapse. She would not talk about her absence, and when I asked her where she had been she would only say walk ing She was assisted to her room and immediately went to sleep. As soon as practicable she will be taken to 0 san itarium for rest and treatment"

Pinehurst, N. C., Feb. 12.-The seven- ty-two-hole medal play contest between the English professionals who have just returned from Mexico City and promi- nent Americans began to-day under most unfavorable conditions, both the morning and afternoon rounds being played in a downpour.

 Rockefeller Among Them.

New York, Feb. 12,-Examination of witnesses in the Standard Oil inquiry instituted by Attorney General Hadley, of Missouri which was scheduled to go on to-day, was postponed until to- morrow When to-day was set as the date for the resumption of the hearing, the fact that it was holiday was over looked.
 Commissioner Frederick H. Sanborn, before whom the hearings have been conducted, was in readiness to resume the hearing to-day and when the wit nesses did not appear Lawyer Kohn that their failure to present themselves be noted in the records. Among those noted as being in default are Henry H. Rogers, William D. Rockefeller, John D. Archbold James A. Moffatt, Wade Hampton, Howard Page and F. Q, Barstow.

BALFOUR WILL BE LEADER
His DiatecticaI Skill Serves Him We'll For Fiscal Reform.

London, Feb. 12-Arthur J. Balfour's dialectical skill has again served him well and probably reinstated him in the leadership of his diminished party. He has still to run the gauntlet of the party meeting which has been arranged ito be held at Lansdowne house next Thursday; but after the speech which he delivered in this city tonight at al banquet given to Sir Edward Clarke, former solicitor general, and Alban G. H. Gibbs who has relinquished the seat in parliament to which he was recently elected in order that MT, Balfour may nave another opportunity to obtain place in the house of commons, 1t is fairly safe to say that little further will be heard of any alternative lead ership. Whilst his speech was fully as ambiguous as any of his previous utter .ances, the former premier declined to accept the country's verdict in the re- cent elections as final He declared himself still for a policy of fiscal re- form in terms only a trifie more deti- mite than he formerly employed, but which is accepted by the Chamberlain ite organs as by far the dearest and most unmistakable utterance Mr Bal -four has yet given his countrymen.

 The blow Is about to fall. Cable warnings to friends to leave China at once. Tell them to seek protection of Gerwmany temporarily and to get out of country before February 24."

CONSOLIDATED R.R. REFUSES
IGNORES INTERSTATE CON- MERGE COMMISSIONS ORDER.

will Not Comply With Finding Crow
 ing Out of Alleged Discrimination
 Against an Independent Beef Mer- chant of Providence-Allegation by
 Latter That His Cars Were Left Dis
 tant from His Place of Business.
 Providence, Feb. 12.-The New York, New Haven and Hartford railroad, through it's attorney, from correspond ence made public to-day, has declined to comply with an order made by the interstate commerce commission last November in the case in which D. w. Miner, an independent beef merchant in this city, alleged he was being discrlm- mated against by the railroad.
 The complainant alleged that the railroad sent his beef cars to yard distant from his place of business, while his competitors cars were sent to a track at the doors of their estab- lishments After lengthy hearing the commission sent an opinion that "the complainant is subjected to undue prej- udice under the circumstances of the case" and ordering the railroad, on and after February 20, 1906, to "desist from subjecting complainant to such unlaw- ful prejudice and disadvantage.
 The railroad informs the commission that it declines to comply with the or- der, assigning as the reason that the order would result in the serious ob- struction ot consignees in obtaining their freight from the yard at which Miner desired his cars to be located.
