The claim was made thai the present laws are altogether too rigidly enforced and Chinese capital anc merchants are prevented from coming , iw .-iiuviiia iu ii uuc, A MEMORIAL PRESENTED. I A memorial, adopted unanimously j by the entire delegation was present ed to President Roosevelt by Johr Ford, of New York, secretary of th< American Asiatic Association. Th< memorial recited not only that Chinese merchants were harassed by th< present exclusion statutes, but the law was being even more than literally applied. The legal regulations are now so stringently construed by the Department that many influential Chinese who are entitled to visit America, an kept out of the country. The consequence is that factories in the United States are placed ^t a disadvantage in the competition for the trade of the Orient. The memorial admitted thai there was warrant in the wording ol | the law for what is being done, but ^contended strongly that the enforcement e>f the present statutes was in the hands of the labor union element and was not executed in the interest ol the American citizens. The memorial closed in the following words: "The members of this delegation feel confident that they will not appeal to you in vain in asking that remedy should be sought for the anomalous and unsatisfactory condition of the existing relations between this country and the Chinese Empire. The probable disastrous effects on their interests and the interests of industries foi which they speak, of a longer continuance of conditions must be their ex. cuse for the urgency and emphasis which they have taken the liberty tc use in inviting your attention to the subject.'' THE PRESIDENT'S VIEWS. President Roosevelt indicated thai this was a matter which had to some extent, already engaged his thought In fact, other cotton manufacturers who have recently visited the White House, have made a somewhat similar complaint to the Chief Executive. The President told the delegation today that as he understood-the matter, he was in accord with their purpose, but he wanted it clearly known that he was opposed to the importation of coolie labor into this country. He was in favor, however, of allowing Chinese merchants to come to America for the purpose of trading, and that he believed that the proper legislation could safely discriminate between the classes of Chinese. This, though, was simply his personal view, for Congress was the proper power to deal with the matter in hand and the President's only duty was to see that the law as it stands is faithfully executed. Bia Financial Organization. New York, Special.?The organization of the largest trust company in the United States, and one of the largest financial institutions of the world, was said to be a part of the plan of Thomas F.

The deposits of the proposed consolidated trust company would amount to $169,000,000, the capital stock to $70,000,000 and the surplus to $22,700,000. Mr. Ryan's plan was reported to contemplate also the elimination of the control of subsidiary companies by the Equitable Life Assurance Society. Charges Not Sustained. Washington.

Off the vessel came a 3 number of small boats. The natives ,'Q could see the crew piling what they thought were supplies into the smaller JM craft. Then the men pulled for that shore. During that and the next day, there was heard firing of arms, and,' later, smoke and fire were observed. 1 This led to an investigation from Potropavlovski and other towns on Jho 3 coast, and a horrible tale of pillage and -<*2 massacre was brought to light. About the streets of the settlement, writes Morogravenlof, were strewn the $9 bodies of 150 of the inhabitants, shot and cut to pieces by the pirates, who, under the pretense of friendship, had gained a landing on the coast. Robbery was their motive, for every hat had been ransacked, and anything of marketable value had been taken. Who the marauders were, those who manag- i ed to make their escape could not say, |g beyond giving the information that > some Japanese were in the party. When Morogravenlof sent his letter the people of Petropvolski feared an attack on that town. Maximo Gomez Dead. t - - - Havana, Special.?uen. Maximo w mez died at 6 o'clock Saturday even- "J ing.
