BRYAN STIRS UP CHINESE.
Tolls Them Americana Will Never
Consent to Repeal of Exclusion Law.
Spokane, Wnsb., Feb. 12. Samuel
Glasgow, manager of a milling com
pany, has received Hong Kong news
papers nnd letters from William
Uurtt, Chinese representative- of tho
company, which stntc that a speech
made by William J. Bryan before
Chinese merchants at a dinner given
by them In his honor has been used
by Chinese agitators to stir up fresh
agitation against American products.
Previous to this, at a meeting hold
by about fifty commercial representa
tives and delegates from the various
Chinese guilds of Shanghni, Canton
and Hong Kong, the delegates had ,
agreed upon twelve proposed modifica
tions of the exclusion law. The
American representatives agreed to
have their houses urge theso upon
congress, nnd the Chinese agreed Im
mediately to call off the boycott. Then,
according to Hong Kong papers, Mr. ,
Bryan appeared, was entertained by
the Chinese merchants at a dinner,
and declared In a speech that tho
American people would never consent
to a repeal of the exclusion laws. One
of tho Chinese merchants at the din
ner reported tho proceedings to the
Chinese newspapers. He quoted Mr.
Bryan as declaring that the labor
party was so strong In tho United
States that Chinese workmen, skilled
or unskilled, would never be permitted
to enter, and as drawing n gloomy pic
ture of what would happen to Amer
ican workmen If the Chinese were al
lowed to take away their employment.
This informant said that while Mr.
Bryan had agreed to support a num-
ber of tho proposed changes, ho had
not been able to draw from the Amer
ican leader any definite assurance of
support of tho policy which the Chi
nese would Insist upon as the only
condition on which the boycott would
be withdrawn.
After Mr. Bryan's speech, the Chi
nese became convinced that congress
would not adopt the changes recom
mended by tho American merchants
and that their best policy was to put
on the boycott screwB tighter than
ever.
TO TEST MONROE DOCTRINE.
Venezuelans Will Welcome Arrival of
French Warships.
WIlIemBtad, Curacao, Full. 12. Con
ditions in Venezuela wero unchanged
at the date of tho latest advices from
that country. Tho censorship Is rigid.
One report Is that the attltudo of
President Vicente Gomez, who Is said
to bo plotting a revolution against
Castro In case of a French blockade.
Is causing some anxiety. It Is report
ed also that General Antonio VelutinI,
second vice president, has a secret
understanding with Franco and that
ho aspires to the presidency. All tho
turmoil over tho French Cable com
pany's concession Is attributed to Gen
eral Volutlnl, and it is said that he
will soon abandon President Castro.
Tho total strength of tho Vene
zuelan army la reported to ho 8,000
men. and not 23,000, ns tho army ac
counts state. Tho treasury shows a
balance of $200,000. President Castro
Is said to bo boasting that he will test
tho Monroe doctrine.
Tho reports say that tho best in
formntlon In Venezuela shows that
Franco or any other power enn rely
upon almost tho entire populace to
fight President Castro and that anx
iety is everywhere expressed for the
arrival of tho French to solve tho
problem, which is beyond tho re
sources of tho Venezuelans. Money
will bo decidedly scarcer if a war
should break out and tho government
has mndo no provision whatever fot
tho commissariat. President Castro
continues his campaign ngalnst for
eigners and has expelled a man named
Van Kestern.

flect tho renewal of uneasiness over
tho anticipated failure of tho Algeciras
conforonco on Moroccan reforms in
consequonco of the dendlock on tho
French nnd Gorman contentions with
regard to tho question of police. A
long Algeciras dispatch of a semi-official
nature, published In Paris today,
seems to foreshadow an abortive re
sult, if not tho actual rupture of tho
conforonco, and declares that tho lines
have been reached beyond which It Is
impossible that Franco can go.
Special dispatches from Algeciras
to tho London newspapers admit tho
critlcnl aspect of the situation, but
counsel patience. They are Inclined
to tho view that Germany, having
called tho conference, cannot allow it
to break down. Tho editorials decline
In nny case to believe that war could
result even If tho conference failed.
