EFFORT TO REPEAL
The BANKRUPT LAW
Biennial Attempt On, and Friends
Of Nelson Measure Should
Be On Guard.
~ W., w. Jerma,,e.

Washington, Jan. 13.--The biennial
effort to repeal the Nelson bankruptcy
law is now being made, and the usual
reports are being sent out that this,
that or the other leader is ready to
push the bill to serious consideration.
These efforts and reports are not es-
pecially important, and yet it would be
just as we'll were business men who
think the present law satisfactory to
inform their congressman and senators
what they would like to have done.
There is no question as to the ao-
tivity Of the repeal forces, and absence
Of activity on the other side might
easily create a false impression here.
The present law was enacted in 1898,
and went into effect in July of that
year. It developed some defects in
administration, which the courts have
largely corrected, and on the whole
it is claimed that 1t has been good
law, promoting orderly and honest
settlement Of the estates of insolv-
ents. Such difficulties as still exist
under the law, it is said, would be
increased many fold under any sys-
tenn Of state control. Z
ss Senator Nelson Of Minnesota, the
author Of the law, does not believe
there is now any important repeal SEN
timent in congress. He does not re-
gard the present law as perfect, and
in the light of what has been learned
during the eight years it has been in
operation, he would be willing to vote
for any bill seeking to amend it in
the direction Of added stringency and
the more complete prevention Of fraud.
1t is possible that some such amend
ments will be offered to the law this
session, and if they are, the question
Of the efficiency or otherwise Of the
law as a whole will be gone into in
both houses. E. 49, . ....

MANSFIELD APPEALS
| TO THEATER TRUST
Begs Klaw & Erlanger to Open
Their Theaters to Mime.
Bernhardt. .,...sE
By Publishers Press.

By Publisher Press.
Baltimore, Jan. 13.-The Baltimore
News prints this afternoon letter adj
dressed by Richard Mansfield, who is
playing an engagement here, to Klaw
& Erlanger, theatrical managers, in
New York, appealing to them to epen
their theaters to Nine. Bernhardt.
You would win general commenda-
tion,'' writes Mr.. Mansfield, ttif you
placed the theaters you control at Nine.
Bernhard disposal, even if you have
to move other companies. The policy
of the theater should be to give the
public the best, regardless of all party
feeling, and to bar only what is bad.
For Nine. Bernhard to play nightly in
tent would be to endanger her health,
and the responsibility would be lodged
at your door and America would be
blamed as inhospitable.

CHINA S HOPES REST
IN Gus TING MANCHUs
Until Present Dynasty Is Abol-
ished, Military Power Will
Be Small.
Special Cable to Tho journal.

=
London, Jan. 13.-The publication of
the Chinese-Japanese treaty is an i'm
portant event, supplementing the trea.
ty Of Portsmouth. Viscount Hayashi,
the Japanese ambassador to the court
of st. James, said to The Journal
correspondent:
"The chief object of Japan in this
supplementary treaty was to open all
parts of Manchuria to foreign trade
and SO get all the powers interested in
the continued independence Of this part
of the Chinese empire. China herself
will be unable for many years, perhaps
centuries, to protect her own interests.
+, g I do not believe the glowing reports
of the new military developments in
China. Such reports have cropped up
frequently during the last fifty years,
but have never been realized. Remem-
Der, that the Manchu dynasty depends
for its existence upon the obliteration
of military spirit among the Chinese.
If that spirit took root the dynasty
would instantly be destroyed. There
fore, whatever outward steps may be
taken, the Manchu government will al
ways oppose real army reform.
"China's only possibility of becom-
ing strong military power lies in the
abolition of the Manchu dynasty, and
there is reason to suppose that this
will happen In the near future. In
other respects the Chinese remain i'm.
pervious to western thought. For ex.
ample, WI Ting Fang returned from,
Washington full Of western ideas and
became secretary in the Wh-Wu-Pu
or new foreign office at Picking, but ii
was soon discovered that he was toe
pro-foreign and he was removed to the
criminal department.
"There is nothing new in the recent
anti-foreign outbreak at Shanghai
China was always antiforeign at heart
and must show her disposition occa
sionally. The boycott Of American
goods is tho natural outcome Of the
immigration laws in America, anc
nothing can be done to prevent it ex
cept an alteration Of the immigration
laws. Any ideas Of the United State,
using force to stop the boycott is alb
surd.''
