CHINESE” EXCLUSION.

The Philippine ConmluiOn sun to
Favor It For the Islands.

WASHINGTON, Nev. 14. —Whether'

Chinese exclusion should be applied to
the Philippines is among the subjects en-

gaging the attention of the Philippine

commission. Considerable evidence bear-
ing on the matter has been collected, and
besides presenting this testimony with
their full report it is expected that a
recommendation will be made which may
have considerable influence in shaping
the course of this government and the ac-
tion of congress. It is understood that
two of the members of the commission,
Messrs. Denby and Worcester, have ex-
pressed themselves as favorable to an ap-
plication of the Chinese exclusion act to
the Philippines.

From the fact that General Otis has
issued an order for Chinese exclusion it

'is assumed that his voice as a member of'

the commission also would be for, Chinese
exclusion in the Philippines.

fierstood to be favorable to Chinese ad-
mission. While this personal view of the
admiral has been expressed to friends it
is not known whether he would give it

i ‘ ~oflicial expression in case all his col-

leagues on the commission favored a rec-
ommendation of exclusion. The attitude
.of President Schurman has not been

.made known even in an informal way.

The exclusion question is involved to
some extent with the inquiries which the
United States is now making of other
powe1s as to the maintenance of an open
door policy in China. It was stated yes-
terday in an authoritative diplomatic
quarter that in case the United States
adopted a permanent policy of Chinese
exclusion in the Philippines there was
little doubt such a comse would cause
China to be less friendly in her co- opera-
'tion with the plans of the United States
to extend our trade in the empire.

now in this country ’on leave offibseuce,
called at the state department yesterday

tary Hay respecting Samoan affairs and
particularly the conditions on the island
of Tutuila, which is to become the ex-

ranged division of the Samoan gr.oup
The chief justice made a favorable
report upon the island, which has a na-
tive population of about 7, 000 persons.

Photographing Meteors.

PRINCETON, N. J., Nov. 14.--Pro-
fessor Charles A. Young has completed
arrangements for photographing the me-
teOric shower due here Thursday morn—
ing between 1 and 3 o’clock. Professor
Young has adjusted a larger telescope in
the Halstead observatory, through which
Assistant Professor Reed will photograph
the meteors by means of a camera strap-
ped to the lens of the telescope. . Com-
menting on the meteoric shower last
night Professor Young said: “It may be
that part .of the shower has already fall—
en and that we have missed them. Cal-
culation as to the exact time of their ap-
pearance is difficult on account of the
movement of certain planets. We hope.
however, to obtain some good photo-
graphs of meteors which fall on Thurs-

day morning.”

Gale Causes Loss of Life.

HALIFAX, Nov. 14.—A heavy snow
and rain storm, accompanied by gales of
wind, causing loss of life and damage to
shipping, prevails in the maritime prov-

“Seven fishing boats went out this morn-
ing. About midday a northwest gale
came up suddenly. Five boats landed
safely. A sixth was swamped off the
northern entrance. The seventh is miss-
ing. There is no means yet of knowing
who'were lost. An unknown schooner is
drifting ashore on the island side of the
harbor. Her crew will be saved. It is
probable at least a dozen souls have per-
ished. ”
