Chinese entered the United States. OF

At a meeting of the old Washington
Monument Association on last Thurs

| and Idaho have failed to provide for
memorial stones in that great cenotaph.
| With these exceptions, all the States
and Territories in the Union are repre-

Gen. Shafter. who is now a resident
| Of San Francisco, discussing the Chi
| nese boycott of American goods, said
that China has good grounds for griev-
| ance against the United States. For
years the Chinese have been subjected
| to every possible indignity by our off,
| cials," he says. 1T has been scandal
GUS. Theodore Roosevelt recognizes it,
| and has issued instructions which ought
| to bring about some Improvement" He
declares, however, that the boycott will
| be Intellectual. He adds:
IF there was an uprising in China
| this country could not get sufficient
forces in the field to make a showing.
There are many troops in the Philip
pines, but they would not be available
| for clash with the Chinese. The dan
ger, If there is any, is to the Americans
| situated far inland. If they were at
| tackled it would be all over before the
United States could get troops on the
spot. SO far as the Naval forces are
concerned, 1t is different. The Navy is
| we'll equipped. AT Manila, along the
| coast of Japan and China. and at other
convenient points in the Orient the
| United States has ships which could be
brought to bear on China, and enough
! to meet all possible needs"
The greatest German organization I'm
this country threatens to make an is
| sue in the coming Congressional cam
paign if Congress passes the Hepburn
| Dolliver bill, which gives q Federal rec

been here appearing before the Judi
ciary Committee Of the House to pro-
| test against this measure called upon
| the President the other day. At the
head Of the visitors were ex-Sheriff Ed
ward J. Tamsen and A. Arans, of New
York.
"The National German-American AL
lance, which we came here to represent
| in this hearing, has a membership of
a million and a half actual voters. and
the organization is unalterably opposed
to the Hepburn-Dolliver BILL" said ex-
Sheriff Tamsen. '"rhe Germans are in
tensely interested in this subject. They
see disposition to push prohibition
through Federal channels. They are
not only opposed to anything of this
kind, believing prohibition to be the
greatest farce ever inflicted upon pub
lie, but they are far more strongly OPP
posed to the features of the bill that
take away the individual liberty that
the GermanAmerican citizen stands
for.
"Any bill that prevents a man get
ting what he wants to drink or eat, in
any part Of the United States, is an in
fringement on the Constitution of the
country and a worse restriction of in
dividual liberty and action. We feel that
the Constitution gives a man the right
to order whatever he wants in one State
and have it delivered to him without
Interference in another. Any law that
prevents that will be bitterly fought by
Germans, and we will carry it into the
campaigns of the future. We are
aroused on this subject, as we find that
encroaching on the liberty of the citi-
zen. This whole thing Is a matter OF
State legislation, and the Government
has nothing to do with It."
Mr.. Tamsen said there were over 200
Lodges Of the National German-Amer-
lean Alliance in New York City alone.
and that all Of them were watching the
which they are interested. and this is
the row which started through the in
PRODUCTION OF Judge LittlefeId's bill.
which Mr.. Smith, Of Arizona, object

Gen. Grosvenor has a whole year yet
