MEXICANS MAY ORDER
ALL CHINESE EXCLUDED
An Indirect Result of the Massacre of
a Number of Celestials at Torreon
During the Recent War.

MEXICO CITY, July 1S.-An in
direct result of the massacre of
Chinese at Torreon in the revolu-
tion may be the exclusion from Mex
leo of Celestials. Because of a
scarcity of labor for the mines and
haciendas, Mexico has encouraged
the importation of Chinese, but ex-
actly those arguments-econom and
racial-which led to their exclusion
by the United States, are now being
freely discussed here. 1t is not i'm
probable that at the next session of
congress an exclusion bill will be
presented.
That Mexico's economic revolution
should be inaugurated so soon after
the termination of the revolt led
by Francisco l. Madero, was no sur
prise to those who have watched
the rapid Development of the ma
tional spirit Of progress. Neither Ma
dero nor De La Barra has displayed
any pessimism because of the many
strikes.
There is an element which pro
fesses to see in these rising signs
of anarchy, but the more conserva.

In the archives of the clerks Of

him in contact with a large num-

OIL wages.
In majority of cases the wage
earners have been successful and
throughout the country their in
fiuence has been felt. The govern
ment has in many cases voluntarily
raised the wages of those employed
en- public works.
Ten years ago, 20 cents, gold, a
day was considered fair wage for
a common day laborer. Gradually
this was increased to So and 40
cents, and even now it will not be
necessary to pay more than SO or
60 cents day. The wages paid
for skilled laborers are in propor-
tion.
Mexico's most notorious slum dis
trict is likely to disappear. Colonia
De La Bolas has had from earliest
times most unsavory reputation.
1t has been the residence of thieves

have long been a blemish on the

nacion has announced that the work

flying the district generally will be

Theodore Racksole, American multimil-
honaiIe, travelling abroad with his daugh-
ter Nella, stops at the Grand Babylon In
Iondoa Because he cannot get just
what he wants for dinner one night, he
buys the hotel from its proprietor, Felix
Babylon, who wishes to retire to his ma
tive Switzerland. Mr.. Babylon assures
him that he has an elephant on his hands,
adding that he was never certain what
sort Of people he had about him. The
hotel is greatly affected by royalties from
the Continent. In fact, Racksole meets
the forerunner of one OF them on this
very night when he buys the house. II
is Reginald Dimmock. a young man whom
Nella had run across the year before In
Russia, and who turns out TO be in the
service OF Prince Aribert, uncle and next
in line Of succession TO Grand Duke
Euzen Of Posen, one OF the numerous
ANAL duchies Of Germany.
Chatting with Mr.. Babylon about his
new possession, Mr.. Racksole finds It is
O. m before he starts to retire, and
finds 1t 10 rather spooky in the corridors.
Approaching his own quarters, he sees

request that he explain matters Jules
asserts that Ill is occupied by gentle

TO open the door to prove the truth OF
his assertion. Jules demurs to this. but

insists, and very reluctantly this very
peculiar head waiter prepares TO obey.
