In Stockholm at T a. m., December 3.
Wi wera dua at I a. m., but were five
hours late. Our hi Chlratmaa party was
held In the magnificent Cystal room of
tha Grand Royal hotel, where the party

'Christmas came and all ahopa were
rinsed and though we had turkey and
plum pudding, and a bis; Christmas tree.
It didn't aem Ilka Christmas and we
raoped around. Then came 8unday and
not a thine to do not even a theater
open and wa wera ready to die. Mon
day we started out with a Baedeker and
a list of the slants and sandwiched In
between atudent meetings, receptions,
teas, mass meetings, luncheons and shop
ping, we managed by today (Thursday),
to clean them up.
"We have visited the Stadium, where
the Olympic gamea were held; the Royal
palace, tha Reichstag, the National mu
seum, the Royal Art gallery, Bksnsen,
a large park and tourist rendevous; the
opera where for $1.60 a seat wa got the
best aeats for Faust. The foyer here.
resplendent wtth mirrors and gold leaf
Is the most magnificent In the world save
llone the opera at Farls.
Then we vlalted the Rldderahotm
:hurch. where the tombs of the Swedish
kings Immemorlals are; the Northern mu
seum, where Is the finest collection of
rmor In the world (we spent five houra
here), the American legation, the citadel
overloklng the Baltic, where we saw
Sweden's fleet; 'Bems' the world-famous
all-night cafe, seating .W where you can
hardly apeak because of the pop of wine
corks snd laughter, and the Liberal club.
Besides this we visited many shops, took
many walka and last, but not least, mas
tered tha Swedish names for all these
and many of the squares and Btreete. In
short, our purpose baa been to know
Stockholm perfectly as we did Chris
tlanla and In this we have auoceeded.
Oeewpr rret Paare
"When you-consider tbat out serious
work came first you can see we were
pretty busy, but this ta the Wo. Our
reception at Stockholm baa been wonder
ful, beyond our fondest hopes. The news
papers, unlike those at Ohristlanla, are
enthusiastically for us, and I am bring
ing home as a souvenir today' Issue of
Stockholm's leading paper, where the
entire front psge is given over to tn
Ford party. And tt has been thus since
last Saturday, and this la Thursday.,
t "Just after Mr. Ford left, everyone was
discouraged. There was serious discord,
and Governor Henna, Lieutenant Clover
nor Bethea, and lues Millholland Bolsse
vein left the party. There was a feeling
of Impending disaster. There were ru
mors that wo would disband at Copen
hagen. One newspaper man predicted
the whole thing would go to amash tn
ten days. Another said that like a tired
runner, we wera going through the mo
tions, but accomplishing nothing. Every
sue felt discouraged.
"But a change came. Mr. Ford's de
parture necessitated a readjustment The
administrative oommlttee waa radically
reorganised, and thlnga began to shape
strongly. A constructive plan waa sub
mitted to a mass meeting of 4.00 people
and they cheered wildly.
"Madame Schwlmmer went yesterday
ostensibly to Copenhagen to pave the
way for our coming, bur, as I Juat learn ad
from newspaper men. who had her shad
owed, actually to Berltn. Actual quota
tions from the statement! of unnamed
prime ministers and chancellor which
are tn the secret documents which Mad
ame Schwlmmer has, were read last night
st a mass meeting of M.0C0 for the first
time, and created a tremendous senssy
tion. I waa told It was the most en
thusiastic demonstration ever heard In
Stockholm.

"The statements, five of which were

head of the foreign affairs of his belli

powerful that his Influence can mate or

substantiated by re porta In the Stockholm
papers) Sweden, I say. In reprisal has
etopned all mall from both England and
Russia.
"No English newspapers dated after the
stopping of the Oscar II can be eeen In
Stockholm, and no mail except to the
British and Russian embassies Is allowed
to pass. Military preparations are also
being made. I see many troops on the
street and a atudent aald that It Is un
usually brisk, but that It la merely for
eventualltlea. No one seems excited except
st England's action and no comment on
the partial mobilisation appears In the
paper.
"Unless this letter makee the mail

won't leave until January U on the fast
Hollander from Rotterdam, and I hope
to be on that boat myself."
Clause to Exclude
Hindus is in Burnett
Immigration Bill
WASHINGTON, Jan. 8.-A provision
to exclude Hindu as well as Chinese and
restrict Japanese Immigration has been
Included in the Burnett Immigration bill,
which la to be reported to the house next
week by the immigration committee. The
provision, the culmination of efforts by
the Pacific coast members, proposes the
exclusion of "the brown and yellow
races," wtth certain passport exceptions."
Thla action, to which th committee
has been pledged to secrecy until the
bill emergea from the committee, be
came known today.
Besides the provision regarding Hin
dus. Chinese and Japanese, the bill
brosdens the penalties to "fine and Im
prisonment" whsr the measure hereto
fore contemplated "fine or Imprison-
menL" It would require steamship com
panies to rebate to a deported alien the
full coat of a voyage so as to return
them to the port of departure with the
same amount of money as was possessed
at taking passage and would raise the
head tax on aliens to W. The law also
would be extended so as to apply spe
cifically to Immigrants who) come over
the Mexican and Canadian border.
The provision for exclusion of the yel
low and brown racea, with certain exoep-
tlone specified, la regarded by members
of the committee ae proposing absolute
exclusion of Hindus and Chinese and as
putting Into legal form the Root-Take-hlra
agreement between Japan and the
United States, under which immigration
of laborer la restricted.
