PLEADS AGAINST HARSH RESTRICTIONS Petition Presented to Minister ( oncer and nift-ned by Prince Chin, Asks Exception of Philippines from Operation of Bill. WA8HINOTON, April 19. The secretary of state today transmitted to the senate a communication from United States Min ister Conger, enclosing a protest from the Chinese government against the exclusion of Chinese from the Philippine Islands. The comm jnicstlon Is as follows: ' On the ninth of the first moon of the twenty-eighth year, Kuans; Hsu (February IS, o!), received a petition from certain Chinese merchants In the Philippines, say ing that the United States officials are ob structing the entrance of Chinese; that they have established exclusion officers at their ports and that whn Chinese arrive in the waters, no matter whether they are laborers or merchants, all ure driven In together and treated as criminals, and If there is any mistake made by them in their verbal statements they are not sl lowed to land, but are compelled to return to China. I find on examination that the Philippines are not far from China, and that from the time of the Ming dynasty, which freceded the present down to today, a arge number of emigrants have gone there from Fukien and the two Kuangs, amount ing to 10,0M, more or less, and that It Is very difficult to put a stop to the coming and going of their families, fellow villagers and relatives. Bays Gmlgrsntu Were III Treated. These emigrants were formerly ill treated and harrassed by the Spanish government, but they were never forbidden to land or harshly driven back to China. Your honorable country has usually the reputation of being lenient and at present your relations with China are especially friendly. There are places to which the restrictions sgreed upon in past treaties spply, but while we are hoping that these restrictions may do entirely abrogated, there has never been any treaty applying the restrictions to those Inlands. If distinction 1b to be made between laborers and merchants and the severe regulations are to be applied to that place also and all are to be subjected to these harsh restrictions, I fear the good reputa tion of your honorable country will hardly be able to escnpe Injury. As in duty bound, I send this dispatch to your excellency, requesting you to transmit t to your government and ask them to adopt some plan to withdraw the Philip pines from the operations of this harsh regulation sn as to naclfy the Chinese emigrants, which will be amicable and Just. The communication is signed by Prince Chlng, president of the Chinese Board of Foreign Affairs. WANTS SCOTT ACT RE-ENACTED Labor Delegates Will Request Con. gress to Remove Doubt of Law's Validity.

MILLIONS Provides Joint Commission from Two Counties to' Settle All Details and Retains Soverelanty Over Land for Colombia. WASHINOTON. April 19. The Colombian canal protocol, which was delivered at the State department April 1, and afterward recalled by Minister Concha for modifica tion, was again presented to Secretary Hay todsy. The proposal aa to the price is set out as follows; One year after the exchange of ratifica tions of a treaty the United States shall pay Colombia the lump-sum ot 17,000,000. This figure will represent fourteen years' rentfclat 1500,000 a year. At the end ot the fourteen" years' period the price which the United States shall pay each year Is to be fixed by mutual consent of the two coun tries. In case the parties cannot agree on a sum, it will be left to an arbitrator selected between the governments. The protocol provides tor a joint commission representing Colombia and the United States, which will arange and provide for all matters pertaining to the administra tion of affairs within the proposed canal belt, Including the membership of the tribunals for the admission of justice and other steps necessary to the joint occupa tion of the belt. Vlrtuea of the Cnnal. ' It Is realised that the building of a Panama canal would bring great numbers of persons of all kinds to the isthmus, and It is provided that the policing of the strip shall be performed by both American and Colombian constables, neither of these na tionalities. It la held, being efficient without the aid of the other. It la atated positively in an authoritative quarter that the modifications for which the protocol was recalled were In no sense a retraction ot any of the proposals em bodied in It at Ita former presentation, but were in the nature of explanations which make certain points clearer, but do not change their effect. The retention of Co lombian sovereignty over the canal land is a point which haa been consistently ad hered to all through the protocol, and none of its provisions relinquish this sovereignty in any degree, it la stated. The protocol consists of twenty-seven articles and rep resents aa exhaustive study of more than a year. Viewed as a study and as com prehensive expression, it is regarded very favorably at the State department. Henderson's Lips Sealed on Subsidy. WASHINOTON, April 19.
