Fault With Provisions of the Meas
ure Placing inspectors on Vessels
Carrying Aliens to This Country.
Washington, Feb. 7.-When Presi-
dent Taft gave a hearing upon the
new immigration bill he also had be-
fore him protests from Germany, Italy
and The Netherlands against the pro
vision which authorizes the secretary
of commerce and labor to place in
spectors, matrons and public health
service surgeons aboard immigrant
ships to report to American immigra-
tion authorities upon the condition
and treatment of immigrants en-
route
Another protest from Austria is
said to be on the way and intimations
have been received that France and
England will join the protest. All
the protesting nations are said to re-
gard the provision as an infringement
of their sovereignty over their ships
on the high seas and impugning the
faith of their officials in the execu-
ton of the immigration laws.
Many prominent Jews were on hand
to protest against certain features OF
the bill.
Members of Congress Present.
President Taft heard the protests
in the East room of the White House.
Senators O'Gorman and Root, Secre-
tary Nagel, Representatives Roberts,
Thayer, Kahn, Sabbath and Hurley
and Julius Rosenwald of Chicago and
Louis Marshall OF New York were
among a hundred or more OF those
seated about the president.
THE burden is upon those who op-
pose this bill" said the president. 1t
requires very strong showing to in
duce the executive 10 override the ac-
ton of both houses of congress"
Harry Oleson, chief justice of the
Chicago municipal court, representing
citizens of Scandinavian descent,
spoke in opposition to the bill.
Representative Curley OF Massa-
chusetts presented a petition which
he said bore the signatures OF SOC, 900
American citizens who opposed the
bill.

CHINESE LOAN is HELD UP
French Bankers object to Some of
the Arrangements.

New York, Feb. 7.-Confirmation of
reports from Peking of a further
hitch in the Chinese loan negotiations
was received by American represent
atives of the syndicate. Some OF the
objections advanced by the French
bankers were quite unexpected, but it
is thought here they probably will be
sustained because of the preponder-
ance of French interests in the pro-
posed loan.
1t appears that Russia is to finance
only half of her one-sixth interest,
while the Japanese participation will
be financed entirely by the French.
In effect, France is to supply nearly
half of the loan.

argument which has been employed
SO long and so successfully with the
rural members of all our legislatures,
and has been the source Of so much
evil in our city governments, that is
the argument that the bill concerned
only Chicago, and that the folks
down home would neither know nor
care how he voted on it, and then
how much $4,000 would mean to him.
As the lobbyist talked, there were
various eyes that looked at him,

few votes then, and the roll-call
was being delayed by one pretense

DEOPLES
1 ROSTRUM
Strength of Progressiyes.

StfenktH OF EEoBEcSslAeH.
To the Editor OF the Evening Star;
A curious commentary on the speech
of w. |. Lincoln Adams before the
Essex County Republican Committee
on Friday evening, in which he pre-
diets the speedy failure of the Bull
Moosers." is furnished by the reports
of the conference in Albany of the
New York Progressive State Com
mittee, held the same night. Seven
hundred members of the Progressive
party got up early Friday morning
and left New York on one OF the now
famous "Bull Moose Specials" to take
a slow and possibly perilous trip up
the State, through regions that at
any moment might have been flooded,
to attend-not a campaign meeting.
but a conference to further the ever
growing success of vigorous social
and political movement.
While Mr. Adams was lightly dis
missing the second i'm power) great
political party in this country, as
trying to organize a third party Of
their own, but without much sue
cess" while he was cheerfully pre-
dieting its rapid absorption into the
ranks of other parties. and declaring
| its hopes to be without foundation"
1t was at the very same hour hold
ing another OF those mighty con-
vocations, ringing with eloquenee and
burning with intense conviction, that
prove it's vitality and in strong hold
both upon the present and the future.
No one who has actually attended
any of these conferences can doubt
for a single instant that the Progress
sive party has come to stay, that its
character and principles are distinct
and separate from any Of the old par
ties, that its enthusiasm has not
diminished. and that its future Is es-
tablished It has already polled an
| Immense vote after q brief campaign,

where since the election. and influ-
enced legislation and public sentiment

! degree. 1t is perhaps, as leaven
working everywhere, a greater power
today than 1t would have been if its
| candidates had been elected. For
then it would have been responsible
! for carrying out difficult progressive
measures: now it is responsible for
keeping alive progressive public SEN
timent, sure harbinger of future
| success.
Anyone who thinks he can laugh
down, or sneer down, or flatter down,
the Progressive party will shortly
find out his mistake. The question
is, what does this wonderful Repub-
lican party, which declares itself so
gloriously progressive. want with us?
Why is it singing to JUS siren song,
and trying to put its arms around us?
We can do without it so easily and
so comfortably, in spite of Mr.. Mum
sey's queer ideas of amalgaInation,
which we can afford to ignore. Are
we to suspect that it cannot so easily
stand up without US? Al all events
there are few of us who do not wish

on behalf of an impossible and il

ROW LIKELY IN CONGRESS BEFORE TARIFF is REVISED

for 1t, and the loss of four votes
destroys the Democratic majority.
On separate sugar bill, or a sepa-
rate wool bill, there would probably
be enough Republican and Progress
siye votes, added to the administra-
ton Democrats, to pass these. or
almost any other schedules, but the
Republicans will not be likely to
agree to vote for an omnibus bill
made up by a Democratic admins
tration or House caucus.
The low tariff Republicans led by
La Toilette, will demand the right to
discuss and vote. upon each schedule
separately, and it is not at all inn
possible that even if the House should
pass an omnibus bill, the Senate may
agree to separate votes on the sew
eral schedules, which would unques-
tionably result in many changes in
the House bill, and entirely destroy
the partisan nature of the legislation.
Already the hotels are filling up
with representatives of various inter-
ests and industries to fight tariff re-
auctions. The tariff lobbyists now
here outnumber those who we're on
the job at the time of the passage
of the Payne-Aldrich bill, and more
are coming. Wool and sugar men
are coming in from every section of
the West and South to fight against
free sugar and reduced duties on raw
wool
Interests centres in the Senate sit
uation. Nobody is paying much at
tention to what the House may do.
The Democratic majority there Is go
large that it seems certain the pro-
gram, whatever. it may be, will have
little trouble in getting through there.
1t is the Senate, however, that will
finally make the new tariff.

, In the March American Magazine,
Brand Whitlock, mayor of Toledo,
Ohio. writes an interesting article in
which he relates some of his expert
ences in Illinois with Governor Alt
geld and also some of his expert
ences as a journalist in the Illinois
State Legislature. One member of
the Legislature interested him par
ticularly. Telling the story of this
legislator, he says:
He was a member sent there
from some rural district far down
in the southern end of the State, and
all through the session he had been
silent, taking no part, except to
vote, and to vote, on most ocea-
sions, with his party. which in those
days was the whole duty of man.
This night would see the end Of his
political career, IL his brief expert
ence in an obscure position could be
called q career and he stood there,
silently looking on, plucking now
and then at his chin, his long
wrinkled face brown and solemn and
inscrutable.
THE old man stood there while the
long roll was being called, and the
crisis approached and the nervous
tension was keen pain, and sud
denly one of the gas lobbyists went
up to him, there on the verge of the
House, and began to talk with him.
