IMPORTANT VIEWS
'OF SECRETARY WM. H. TAFT.
SUGGESTIONS FROM HONGKONG CHINESE,
We have been courteously furnished, for publication, with the following memorandum of conversation bald in the presence of Sir Matthew Nathan, Governor of Hongkong, be tween. Mr. Taft, Secretary of War of the United The latest reports of the earthquake in States, and the following, Chinese gentlemen Italy show that 300'dead have been recover-residing in Hongkong: Hen.

Mr. Taft said:-Gentlemen,-I am very glad Fresh shocks have occurred at Leggio in

The method of securing this by boycotting is not a fortunate oue. The illegal ity of the boycott and its violation of our treaty rights, I need hardly explain.

Inced not say to you, as I have said in the United States. that I think it greatly better that one hundred Chinamen during the year shall evade the law, though coolies, than that intelligent Chinese gentlemen, merchants and students, who wish o visit the United States, or to do business there, should be harrassed in their attempt to enter the United States by meatures subjecting them to discomfort, inconvenience, contumely influence of President Roosevelt's adminis tration will be thrown toward a protection af the rights of these classes. Of course, the best place to determine what a man's status is, whether he is coolie, merchant or a student, is at his own home, and the disposition and ten. dency of the President is to make the certifi cate of the American consul in China the strangest and most conclusive evidence upon this subject unless fraud or forgery appear.

MINE-DESTROYING BY H.M. SHIPS.
A COSTLY EXPERIMENT
AT WEIHAIWEL
[From Our Own Correspondent.]
Weihaiwei, 29th August, 1905. A costly but interesting experiment was carried out to day outside the harbour. Three
mines were placed about a mile out from the shore which represented a channel mined to prevent ships passing through it. The object
Hon. Dr. Ho Kai then resumed by saying that there was a custom among Chinese iner. chants, for the purpose of continuing a firm beyond their own lives, to take with them into the United States such a part of the personnel of their business, assistants, or persons who would correspond to clerks and salesmen in the business of a mers chant of the United States, who were taken put with the idea of subsequently, after having experience enough, entering the hum and becoming partners. Such men, he said, were not coolies and did not belong to the labour class, although of course in the discharge of their duties there was some manual labour in them back on the shelves, etc. Mr. Taft said perform, as that of showing goods, of petting
between a labourer and a clerk or salesman in a merchant's store, and that he personally saw no objection to an exclusion of such a class from the definition of labourer; that he would bring this matter to the attention of the Presi- dent.
of the experiment was to blow up or destroy the fare, alien exclusion, laws, which shall that he thought there was a clear distinction

Permission was granted to men of the feet who wished to witness the explosion, and several hundreds availed themselves of the opportunity, this being the first time that a fleet has undertaken mining operations on such a large scale. The men were marched to the top of Centurion Hill, as the best view could be obtained from there and where also the greater part of the European inhabitants had also assembled, so as to be able to get a view of this most interesting experiment. “
The depmation expressed its gratitude for the advice tendefed, action ps the lines indicatd it is understood, to be promptly taken.
