CHINA REGISTERS PROTEST
Obj ott Vigorously to Order of Otis Exclud
ing Ohineso from Philippine ! ' ,
LODGED WITH THE STATE DEPARTMENT
IiiKl.it Action In Contrary to Interim-
tloiml l.nvv mill In Violation of
Trcnllcn .Suit ml I foil
MlnlMor Wu TliiH Fa UK.
WASHINGTON , Sept. 18. The Imperial
Chinese government , through Its minister ,
Wu Ting Fang , has lodged with the Stale
department an emphatic protest against the
military order of General Otis excluding
Chinese from the Philippines.
Neither the State department nor the
Chinese legation will give any Information
concerning the protest , but from entirely re
liable quarters , It Is learned that It Insists
that General Otis' action la contrary to In
ternational Uw , In violation ot existing
treaties , And in complete disregard of the
friendly relations which have been eo loog
maintained between the two countries.
Minister Wu Ting Fang called at the State
department last Friday and It IB believed ho
submitted the protest In person at that tlmo.
The matter was promptly brought to the
attention of the president as the pretest was
ot such a character as to glvo the subject
an International aspect considerably beyond
the purely military questions Involved.
It Is said that China points out that tt
welcomed the recent advent of the United
States Into the affairs of the far east and
haa hoped that this step would prove a fur
ther bond and would extend the relations
between the two countries , particularly In
their neighboring possessions. Furthermore ,
It Is understood that nmong the apoMfie
points of protest submitted by the Chinese
government , Is ono to the effect that such
nn order Is a departure from the announced
purpose of the president of the United
Statc-j to maintain the present status of
affairs In the Philippines until congress has
determined a permanent condition.
The military phases of the question have
been referred to Secretary Root. Owing to
his familiarity with International law ho
wtlJ probably consider the subject broadly ,
both in Its International as well as its mil
itary aspects.
General Otis' order was Issued some tlmo
ngo , without direction from Washington
and apparently as a military necessity , al
though the Chinese protest urges that there
In no such military necessity , but on the
contrary that the Chlnoso have rendered
verbal military assistance.
General Otis' order Is signed by himself
08 military governor of the Philippines and
by Brigadier General Charles A. Whltaker
as collector of customs , having supervision
of Chinese affairs. H says :
"The laws of the United States , which
prohibit the Chinese- , will bo enforosd here. "
The decree then cxccpts such Chinese aa
have previously lived In the Philippines
and who havei certificates showing this fact.
It also cxcepts Chinese officials , travelers ,
etc. , excepted under the treaty between the
United State * and China. Provision la made
for registering the Chinese In the Philip
pines and their deportation to China In case
of failure to register. As very few Chl-
neeo other than those now In the Phlllp-
nlnea oomo within the exceptions the effect
of the decree Is to make the exclusion prac
tically absolute.
General Otis made a. report to the War
department on April 1 last on the execu
tion of the decree. He said that only Chi
nese In good health , who had previously
resided In the Philippines , were- permitted
to land at Manila , Cebu or Hello , ' the only
three open porte In the archipelago. Ho
also explained the methods of registering ,
fee , etc.
It Is understood that the Chinese regard
the outcome cf the protest with much appre
hension. It le pointed out that the Chinese
have been long established In the Philip
pines and that a considerable branch of the
Industry of the Islands Is conducted" " by
them and that this complete termination of
a long established communication between
China and the Philippines Injures the people
materially.
The Chinese protest Is eald to be couched
In trio most dignified and courteous tcrma ,
but to bo so pointed ! that no doubt Is left
0.3 to the deep umbrage the Chinese gov
ernment feels over this order of General
Otis.

HONO KONG , Sept. IS. The American
gunboat Paorpango has chawd the British
steamer Yuen-Sang from Manila to Hong
Kong. The gunboat sighted the steamer
during the night of September 13 about
thirty miles off the north coast of the Island
of Luzt > n and suspected that It was a flll-

The Pampango fired three shots , which the
Yuen-Sang disregarded until the third shell

stopped , and , the commander of the gun
boat boarding It , found he had made a mis
take apd apologized.
An American gunboat , name unknown , fol
lowed the British steamer Dlamte , bound
from Manila to Hong Kong , The warship
sighted the steamer near Sublg bay during
the night of September 18 and whistled
signals to stop. The ( signals nere disre

Dlamte , getting so clew that Its guns tore

gunboat , on learning of the Identity of the
steamer , ehored off.

nua uuuiueu lUUUjr HI it IIIUCIIIIK OI 1110 OX-
ecullvo committee held here , thus definitely
settling rumors that the headquarters would
bo changed. J. 0. Johnson of Kansas , It
was decided , will have charge of the work ,
remaining hero In charge of the headquarters
office.
Those present nt the conference wore ex-
Governor Stone , Judge Johnson Head of
Tennessee , George Fred Williams of Massa
chusetts , Gufty of Pennsylvania nnd O'brlen
of Minnesota.
"Wo discussed some piano for the organ
ization of our forces for effective work , " sold
ex-Governor Stone In speaking of the meet
ing , "but as yet they are so chaotic that an
account of them would not enlighten the
public. It was decided 'that the members of
the executlvn committee meet In Chlcnn-n
every sixty days to confer with Mr. Johnson
and to nld him In the carrying out ot our
plans. "
The ways nnd means committee was
called together during the afternoon by
Chairman John n. McLean nnd the Impor
tant maWer of financing the campaign dU-
oueetnl. The press commlttiw was also con
vened by Mr. Johnson and plans looking to
the offcctlvcnoas of that committee dls-
cusswl. Mr. Johnson and C. A. Walsh
were the only members present , but ex-
Governor Stone held the proxies of Messrs.
Troup of Connecticut and Howell of
Georgia , thus making n quorum ,
Members of the press committee were
not disposed to discuss probabilities , though
the majority of Inquirers were Interested In
the question of the disposition to bo made
of Press Agent P. J. Devlin. It Is thought
probable that the press arrangements for
Chicago will bo changed to a degree , Using

ON TRIAL FOR CONSPIRACY

frontier , October 25 being the date of the
nntt-scnnUlo and royalist disturbance In
Place de la Concord. On October 12 there
was further disorder , a mob marching on
the Cherche Midi Prison , crying "Vivo lo
Due d'Orleans. "
The police stopped the mob , but M. Cbc-
vllly wired to the duke of Orleans : "Succes
d'ostlme. Two thousand demonstrators , po-
llco stopped them , but will recommence. "
This royalist outing , It appears , aroused the
Jealousy of the other parties , and M. Buffet
wired the duke of Orleans that ho feared the
Bonaparttsts were also contemplating ac
tion.
tion.Tho
The Indictment proceeded , declaring that
the royalists led and paid n mob to Insult
President Loubdt on the day of his elec
tion.
Letters seized at the residence of
Mlchelvv showed that the -funds were ex-
l < austcd by February , 1899 , ana promises of
money , meetly from women , were found In
the correspondence.
The culminating point of the royalist
conspiracy was reached February 23 when
M. Deroulode made his notorious attempt
on tluj Place Do la Nation , to Induce a
tirlgado of InfantrV to march on the Elysee
palace. Everything , it seems , Was prepared
to carry out the royalist plan that day , but
M. Deroulode's failure spoiled all and tbo
duke of Orleans , who was waiting In Brus
sels the signal to come to Paris , received
Instead a telegram from M. Buffet saying :
"Useless to come. Send you further news
tomorrow. "
The duke of Orleans then wanted to go
farther away and the fact that the roy-
nllsts wished to carry out their conspiracy ,
If possible , was shown In a telegram which
M , Buffet sent him. , begging him to remain ,
fls "tho government did not know what to
do with M. Deroulcde. "
CoiiinplrnO ) * Not Aliniiiloiinl.
Continuing , the Indictment then explained
that the conspiracy was not abandoned with
the failure of November 23 , but that the
machinations continued In secret and pub
lic meetings were continually hold. MM.
Deroulede and Marcel Habert In July at
St. Cloud and In the theater Do In Repub-
llque , Paris , outlined the plan stilt exist
ing for the overthrow of the parliamentary
regime by a mob uprising , nldcd by several
chiefs of the army nnd troops upon whom
they could count. The Indictment evoked
frequent outbursts of derisive laughter and
Ironical comment at the expense of the
royalists , especially on the reading Of the
various telegrams exchanged and the fail
ure of the plots.
At the conclusion of the reading of the
Indictment M. Bernard and his colleagues
left the senate , and M. Fallerles ordered the
senators to sit behind closed doors.
The senate , at 7 p. m. , was still deliberat
ing. It was then understood tbo senators
had agrceM to grant the application that the
prisoners be represented before the parlia
mentary inquiry uj tuuucm. * , .i . . - -
point the senators considered most Im
portant to thorn.
The senators then dlsciifecd whether they
were competent to sit as a high court and
try the case.
Several papers today revived the rumor
that the duke of Orleans Is shut up with
M. Gucrln on Fort Chftbrol , the bendquartere
of tbo anti-Semite league , which has boon
besieged since August 12. No definite state
ment was made to this effect , and the paper
merely hinted that It might be true , basing
the statement that the Due d'Orloana has not
been heard of for more than u month.
The same rumor previously was utterly
discredited. Sine * then several persons have
entered Fort Chabrol and have not seen the
duke. As a matter of t&rt the Duo d'Orleann
has been beard of Bevonl tlmt's.
The duke of Lyons , one of his Intimate
friends , said tbo duke of Orleans was In
Austria. The silence of the royalist pre
tender at this stage U not surprising and
Is not taken to bo ground for supposing him
to bo with Guerln. The most rigid pre
cautions were taken for the safety of the
Senate building thlH afternoon by police ,
who were atatloned every few yards , while
cvpry gate loading to the Luxembourg palace
was guarded by n detachment of municipal
guards. Nobody was allowed to enter the
courtyard or even remain In the precincts of
the palace , without a card of entry.
Consequently only a email crowd witnessed
the arrival of the senators , who alighted
from tholr carriages and entered he palace
without demonstration of any sort except
the raising of bats by a few of the spectators.
The ticket holders , after closing the main
courtyard , had to traverse the dark crirmice
hall , passing between a double row of rnr > : ed
rltlee , behind which , barely distinguishable
In the gloom , were silent figures , a strong
detachment of the municipal guards In their
blue uniforms decorated with red cord.
The ushers on the staircases repeatedly
examined the tickets. The public and press
galleries were crowded. The former were
numerously occupied by women ,

bury , for the city and state ; Colonel 12. H
Sellers , grand master , representing the
Michigan grand lodge : Robert Donovan ,
grand patriarch of the Michigan grand en
campment ; Brigadier C. S. Martin , depart
ment commander of the Michigan Patriarchs
Militant , and by Mrs. Emina Hasklu , presi
dent of the Ilcbekah assembly.
Governor Plngreo was unable to appear ,
owing to illness , and Mayor Maybury wel
comed the visitors on behalf of tbo city and
state. Of Oddfcllowshlp the mayor said :
"It was one of the first , It not the first ,
society to make men brothers and to make
my neighbor the man -who needs mo and
Is deserving of my help. "
Alfred S. Plnkerton , grand sire , responded
to the welcomes , after which the sovereign
grand ledge representatives proceeded to
Harmonic ball , where the first business ses
sion was hold.
Grand Sire Plnkorton made his annual re
port to the sovereign grand lodge.
Itcnort or Grniid Sire.
Mr. Plnkerton said : "Tho evidence of the
work of the aggressive , progressive force of
Odd Fellowship Is n refutation of the falsa
assertion that the present citizens of thn
world ore not as good as were their fathers.
Welcome every agency that lends a help
ing bund to those who need It. December
31 , last , our subordinate ledge membership
was 830,061 and the number of sisters en
rolled In the Rebekah lodges numbered 190-
007. This figure enables us for the first tlmo
to 'honestly claim fraternal affiliations' with
over 1,000,000 persons. "
Referring to the finances of the order Mr.
Plnkerton said : "The great source of our
financial llfo 13 the Income derived from
the sale of supplies. It has never been our
policy to accumulate money , neither has In
tentional extravagance been Indulged. Still ,
enUcs , and a continuance of such a condition
can have but one result. I do not bellevo
that biennial sessions of the sovereign grand
ledge or a flxed place of meeting will solve
the problem. Tihe seeming remedy Is a re
duction In the sum paid for mileage. "
The grand slro gave an epitome history of
the order and Us growth , referring to the
relation existing between the American
order and those of foreign countries. Ho
reported that the affairs of the diversely
situated and widely separated brotherhood
were generally In a prosperous condition.
Appended to the report were reports on the
condition of the order In Europe , Japan ,
Hawaii , South America , Alacka and North
west Canada.
Grand Secretary Grant's was a very voluminous
inous report.
Sccretnry'H Report.
The secretary reported an encouraging In
crease for the year in both the subordinate
and Rebcknh branches , that of the former
having been greater than In any year since
1892. A small decrease was reported In the
Encampment branch , much smaller , however -
over , than In any other of several years pail.
"Another evidence of progress during the
year , " said the secretary , "Is found In the
unusually long list of warrants Issued. In
Hawaii , Newfoundland , the Netherlands and
Alaska now charters have been asked for.
Favorable reports are coming In from Cuba
and a new ledge Is to bo Instituted at
Buenos Ayres.
"Tho number of foreign grand lodge rep
resentatives Is Increased to ISO. "
The secretary gave the following summary
of the condition of the order December 31 ,
1898 : Sovereign grand lodges , 1 ; inde
pendent grand lodges , Australasia , Denmark ,
Germany , Sweden and Switzerland ! subor
dinate grand lodges , 65 ; subordinate grand
encampments , 63 ; subordinate lodgca , 11,796 ;
subordinate encampments , 2,641 ; ledge mem
bers , 859,929 ; encampment members , 128,267 ;
Rebokah lodges , 5,071 ; members of Re
bekah lodges , 313,163.
The whole Increase In all branches of
the order for the year was 30,225. The report -
port showed the relief expenditure * ? by lodges
to no $3,126,050 ; relief by encampments ,
$249,786 , nnd by Rebokah lodges , $47,119 ,
making a total of $3,422,986. The total ex
penses of subordinate lodges figure $1,159,720.
The revenue of subordinate lodges amounted
to $7,752,282 ; subordinate encampments ,
$570,762 ; Rebokah lodges , $443,348 ; total ,
$3,766,393. $ The total
, , Invested funds aggre
gate $27,185,241.
Treasurer M. Richards Mucklo of Phila
delphia submitted his report and the read
ing of it nnd the other officers' reports -was
dispensed with.
After committees had been appointed many
resolutions were offered. The most Im
portant ono was Introduced by Representa
tive Young of Maryland , nnd Is aimed at
the mileage paid representatives to the sov
ereign grand lodgo. At present 10 cents per
mlle Is allowed for delegates living east of
the Rocky Mountains and 12 cents west , It
orders the figures reduced to 8 and 10 centa
respectively.
A resolution Is pending from last year's
meeting reducing the mileage to 7 and 3
cents. Both these were , after an hour's dis
cussion , referred to a special committee of
flvo with a request to report aa aoon as
possible.
That the mileage allowance will bo re
duced Is believed certain , OH a cut must bo
made In the expense and the delegates are
almost a unit In favoring this as the proper
place.
A resolution ordering the abolishing of
"visiting card " was referred to the resolu
tions committee. . The visiting card Is now
necessary to enable a member of one ledge
to visit another. It Is proposed Instead to
make tbo receipt for dues sufficient.
There will bo no election of officers by
this conference ai tbo terms of the present
Incumbents of the sovereign grand chain do
not expire for another year.
The matter of admitting negroto to tbo
Independent Order of Odd Fellows Is expected
to come up at this session , as It haa dona
for a number of years. Resolutions provid
ing for admission of negroes have always
heretofore been voted down , and the senti
ment among the present delegates cauoes
prediction of a similar fate for any intro
duced at this session.
The Rebekah branch Is working to obtain
representation on the floor of the sovereign
grand lodge , but there la a good deal of op
position to such an Innovation.
