Gois Khan vanquished northern China and established his capital at Ym Kin (the Peking of to-day) and his hordes uverran India, Turkestan and Russia from the Black Sea to the Baltic. His grandson conquered south China and destroyed the Song Dynasty. Kuprai Kahn's message was delivered at Kyoto to the prime minister of the Shogunate, Hojo Tokimune, who was in charge of the Government, the then Shogun being a minor.

A new heaty regulating the admission of Chinese into the United States is in prepara. tion. The existing Treaty, which was made by Secretary Gresham and Minister Ya in 1894, will expire next December by limitation.

Because the administration of the Chinese

Exclusion Act is now confined to the Depart ment of Commerce and Labour it has been

tary Cortelyou to assist in the fonnation of the new Treaty. Secretary Cortel you will deal with those sections of the Treaty which practi- cal y prescribe the regulations that shall govern the admission of Chinese of the higher class

and the exclusion of coulies. Secretary liay will take care of the diplomatic sections of the Treaty.

While much rericence is observed at present as to the lines upon which the new Convention is being formed, there is reason to believe that it wil be more liberal in the treatment of Chinese who desire to enter the United States. when they are not actually of the coolie class, than the existing Treaty. There also may be made provisions for the entry of Chinese 97,000 labourers into the Panama Canal strip, although this is not certain. An attempt also has been made to avail of this opportunity to make more extensive use of Chinese lab ur in the Philippines.
