MANY ILLEGALLY HERE
Chinese Enter in Violation of
the Exclusion Law.
|LAMTY IN ENFORCEMENT
Warning Of Commissioner General
Of immigration.
TESTIMONY BEFORE COMMITTEE
Says That the Undesirable Are Ad-
United and the Unobjectionable
Are Excluded.
LAxlTY IN ENFORCEMENT
TESTIMONY BEFORE COMMITTEE

The Chinese exclusion law is being
wantonly violated every day in the year.
according to the testimony of the COM
missioner general Of immigration. Mr..
Sargent. before the House committee on
appropriations during consideration of
the sundry civil appropriation bill. A
change In the law is absolutely neces-
sary, Mr.. Sargent thinks.
Seldom has there been such frank and
warning utterance from an official
of an executive department to a COM
mittee Of Congress. The reason for a
universal laxness and. at times. a la
mentable weakness in enforcing the ex-
clusion law is described by Commissioner
Sargent as the erroneous sentiment that
grew out of the talk of a Chinese boy
colt.
In asking the committee for 100000 to
enforce the law Mr.. Sargent referred to
the friction between the immigration Of
ficials and other officials who were eX-
ercised over the probability of the con-
sequences Of a strict enforcement.
Must Meet the Issue.
II will say to you gentlemen. very
frankly" declared Mr.. Sargent. that
one Of these days you will have to meet
the proposition, and meet it fairly and
squarely. The construction Of the law at
present is such that you are not only
opening the door to laborers and allow
ing them to come in here by subterfuge
and trickery, but you are working
against the interests Of those whom you
intend should have the privilege of COM
ing; that is. the merchants and the high
class Chinese who would naturally come
to this country.
I'VE have in this country today an i'm
mense lot of Cinnamon who have no right
them. They are here. I know, even in
Washington. If we should go to arrest
them, You knw what an amount of SEN
timent would be manufactured.
Many Here Illegally.
There is such a number Of Cinnamon
in this country illegelly that. in my
re-registration, giving every Chinaman
now In this country register. When
you have done that, you should treat the
Chinaman as you would any other alien
If the Chinaman is here unlawfully. you
should put him out OF the country and
clean up the slate.
After that. enter into an agreement
with China that no person coming to
this country shall be admitted except as
they may come on a passport OF their
government. and. If they come on such
q passport, vised by the consular off,
Ger Of our government that that person
belongs to the class entitled to adnis-
sion into the country. But II any man
comes without that kind of passport
we should be allowed to arrest him and
put him out Of the country. Then you
will come near to enforcing the exclusion
laws in a wholesome manner toward the
Chinese"

An AnnrN EIenhant.

A sentinel in the menagerie at Paris
has had a curious experience with one
of the largest elephants. The sentinel
was very conscientious and always re-
quested the spectators not to give the
animals anything to eat, which seemed
to displease the elephant in question to
such an extent that he several times
sprinkled the seDtys head with water
from his trunk. One day bystander
offered this particular elephant large
cake. The sentinel interfered, as
usual, and the elephant promptly dis
charged in his face violent stream of
water. A general laugh ensued, but
the sentinel, having calmly wiped his
face, stood on one side and continued
as watchful as before. Soon after
ward he found 1t necessary to repeat
his admonition, but no sooner was this
uttered than the elephant laid hold of
his musket, twirled it round his trunk,
trod it under his feet and did not re-
store it until he had twisted 1t into
nearly the form of a corkscrew. Then
he gave a snort at the discounted
sentinel, as If to say, Now hope
you'll mind your own businessw

NOVA SCOTIA BLUENoSEs.
Eo One Seems to Know just Why They
Are 9o Called.

Are % Called.
Those who dwell 10 the Canadian
province Of Nova Scotia are called blue
noses. The name has stuck to them
since time out OF mind. but how they
came to get II is matter Of conjecture.
One thing Is certain-they don't like It.
Nova Scotians pride themselves on
their English ancestry. and some Will
offer the suggestion that the name is a
token that the blue blood shows. When
the French were driven out OF Arcadia
the fertile lands they vacated were
from Massachusetts,.
The spirit of revolt was strong then
In Boston and elsewhere IN New Eng.
land Those who were loyal to the
king and taxes found 1t good oppor-
tnnlty to move. and from these loyal
lists Acadia was largely repeopled
II may be that the blue blood shows
aud that the name Is badge OF honor.
but most Nova Scotians don't believe
It, for they feel that It is a term of
reproach.

put TO one young woman whose home
isn't far from Nova Scotia.
why, after the bluenose potatoes.
Of course" she said, "and think It's

Now, It's true that, next 10 apples. po-
tatoes form the greatest product Of the
rich Nova Scotian soil And it's also
true that the bluenose Is the bright par
tlcular star among the varieties OF po
tatoes they raise In Nova Scotia.
But the potatoes we're named for the
people. not the people for the potatoes
It's n simple question Of chronology.
You explain II carefully to the young
woman. and she says. How silly Of

that you haven't convinced her.
