Laborer in Government Printmg Offlce Has Call from Dead. [FUOM THH TRtBLT.._ BLKEAC J Washington. June 25.?A new candidate for the Presldency is in the fleld. and the field is all his own. His is the domaln of dreams. the re? public of visions, the hustings of splrlts. but he is willing, nevertheless, to meet and try conclu? sions with tho3e candidates of worldlier mould who are moved by tha sordid motlves which. sad to relate. have been the sports of battle siiue the right of suffrage was young. Not to keep tbe reader in suspense another Instant, lt should be announced that thls asplrant for the White House ia "The Count Charles Vaden Barton." othcrwise known as "the dream prophet." In a neat four page pamphlet called "The Millennlum, tbe Radium of Literature." the "count" discus_es the issues of the day. Before enterlng on the discussion, however, he Issues a challenge to all the other candidates ln the followiner language: "The Count Charles Vaden Barton. the dream prophet. challenges any candidate for the Presi dency in 1908 as to which can furnish the best policy for the good of the people. I am not afraid of any other candidate any more than I am of a child. If good could win against money and influence of the aristocratlc, and if any man will run against me strictly on hls merKs, I can safeiy sav that I would have but a weak opposition. "I am employed in the Government Prlnting Offlce," continues the count. "where my positlon and my reputation are at stake, and would not dare to make such bold assertions if I did not have full confldence In myself and In the fol? lowing: dream: "It was on February 12, 1902, that seven promlnent men appeared to me in a dream. McKinley, Lincoln, and the other flve appeared to be their friends. Lincoln said to me that they were appolnted as a committee of the spirltual world to appolnt me as the spiritual president of the Unlted States ln opposltlon to worldly views and to give me a double tltle of Earl Count Courtney, and I would soon be known as 'The Count.' Lincoln handed me a small hand looking glass, and I looked in lt and aaid: *Why, I look just like Lincoln.' " 'Yes,' said the committee, 'you are another Lincoln, a count, a ruler, and we will instruct you to set the whole world free.' Then they vanished." But do not get it into your head that this i*~ the only dream the count can recall. On the editorial page of "The Millenlum" he points with pride to a few more. "I announce to all you Missourlans," he writes, "that I dld dream of the assassination of McKinley. and I also dreamed before the catastrophe occurred of the destruction of the battleship Malne. Many other marvellous dreams I have had that cannot be hooted at as the results of imaglnation or tcrmed the vagaries of a dlsordered mind." In the same editorial column he remarks: "The count may be crazy because he has dreams and visions, but he is thankful to say that he is not as crasry as our government to allow American flrms to equip other nations with battleshlps and all their flghting materlal who may some day be our foes." On the last page of his entertaining paper the "count" makes an earnest frank appeal for sup? port, in the following words: W \XTKD.-One leading newspaper in each large city in the Unlted States to take up my cause, and investigate the spirltual message given me by the seven spirits. among these seven being the spirits of Lincoln, Garfield and McKinley. In my hypnotle dreams I am en abled to live in the spiritual world by nlght. an existence which gives me an entirely different view of the world in its true light: this being true I beg of the public to investigate one of the greatest spiritual tests ever offered the pub? lic: political questions from the other side of Now if the seven spirits really made me the spiritual president of the United States in op? posltlon to worldly views, then my views must be superior to that of the world. If the govern? ment or press won't investigate this they won t take a pound of radium when it is offered to them as a gift. I remain yours. respectfully, t B CHARLES VADEN BARTON. p s?i would not be such a fool or as crazy as people think to mention a dream of this kind if I did not get valuable information from the spiritual side of Hfe to such an extent as to put all other candidates for the Presldency out of commission.?C.

June 25.?By direction of Fresl dent Roosevelt actlon has been taken which wlll facilltate the landlng ln thls country of Chlnese of the exempt classes and will e.jminate from the work of the Immigration Bureau the ad minlstrative features which have been criti cised by Chinese. It is the intentlon of the President to see that Chlnese merchants, trav ellers, students and others of the exempt classes shall have the same courtesy shown them by offlcers of the Immigration Bureau as is accorded to citizens of the most favored nation. Representatlons have been made to tbe Presi? dent that. in viaw of the alleged harsh treat? ment of many Chinese seeking a landing ln tbe United States. the commercial gullds of China. have determined to boycott American goods. These representatlons. backed by the authority of the American Asiatic Soclety and commercial bodies throughout the country. lnduced the President to investigate the situation wlth a view to remedying any evils found to exlst The subject was discussed thoroughly by the Cabi? net. and the President took lt up personally wlth Secretary Metcalf of the Department of Commerce and Labor, who has supervisioa of the Immigration Bureaj. As a result of the inquiry, orders hava been issued to the diplomatic and consular represen? tatlves of the United States ln China by the President himself that they must look closely to the perforrnance of thelr duties under the excluslon law and see that members of the ex? empt class coming to this country have proper certlflcates. These certiflcate9 wlll be accepted at any port of the United States and wlU insure the bearer against harsh or discourteoua treat? ment. Such treatment will be the cause of ther Instant dlsmissal of the offendlng official, -who ever he mav be. In addition to the President's orders, Secretary Metcalf has issued instructions to the lraraigra tlon offlcers which. it is believed, w~IU remedy the trouble of which the Chlnese govemmenft and indlviduals complaln. It is believed that tha prompt action taken by this government will avert serious trade dlfficulties between China and American manufacturers. THE PRESIDENT'S ORDERS, The correspondence and orders on tha BubJeeS were made public to-day by authority of Presl? dent Roosevelt. The President's orders to tha diplomatic and consular officers of thla country ln China were transmltted through tha State Department, and are as follows: The Whlte House, Washlngton, Juna 24, 1905. To the Acting Secretary ot State: The State Department wlll immediately issue a circular to all our diplomatic-and consular rep? resentatlves in China setting forth the following facts and statlng that lt ls issued by direct or? der of the President: Under the laws of the United States and la accordance with the spirit of tho treaties negoti ated between the Unlted States and China, all Chinese of the cooly or laboring class?that ls, all Chinese laborers, skllled or unskllled?are absolutely prohibited from coming: to the Unitetlj Sta*e.., but the purpose of the government of the Unlted States ls to show tha wideat and heartlest courte.-- toward all merchants, t<_aoh-, ers. students and travellers who may come to the Unlted States, as well as toward all Chlnese offlcials or representatlves ln any capacity of the Chinese government. All Indlviduals of these classes are allowed to come and go of their own free will and accord, and are zo b~? given all the rights. privileges, lmmunities ani exemptions accorded the cltlzens and subjects of the most favored nation. The President has issued special Instructions through the Secre-i tary of Commerce and Labor that, while laborers must be strlctly excluded, the law must be en? forced without harshness, and that all unneces sary inconvenience and annoyance toward those persons entitled to enter the United States must, be scrupulously avolded. The offlcials of the^ Immigration Department have been told tbat nos harshness ln the administratlon of the law wlU for a moment be tolerated, and that any dis-. courtesy shown to Chinese persons by any ofS clal of the government wlll be cause for immedi? ate dismissal from the service. The status of thoso Chinese entitled freely* to enter the Unlted States is primarily deter-. mined bv the certlflcate provided for undeif Section ti of the Act of July 5, 1S84. "Undei^ thls law the diplomatic and consular repre? sentatlves of the Unlted States have by dlrec-<i tion of the President been instructed befor__ vls6ing any certlflcate strlctly to comply *__M_hj the requlrements of that portlon of Section t_f which provldes as follows: And such diplomatic representatlve or cor.-* sular representatlve whose lndorsement is so required is hereby empowered, and lt shall be his duty before indorsiug such certlflcates as aforesald. to examine Into the truth of tha statements set forth in said certlflcates, and !$ he shall flnd upon examinatlon that said or any of the statements thereln contained are untruey it shall be his duty to refuse to lndorse the* same. MUST RECOGNIZE CERTIFICATES. The certlflcate thus vised becomes prima facie evidence of the facts set forth thereln. The Im? migration offlciels h?ve now been specflcally br*. structed to accept this certlflcate, whlob. ls not to be upset unless good reason can bo ehowa for so doing. Unfortunately, in the past lt ha4 been found that offlcials ln the Chinese govern? ment have recklessly issued thousands of such certlflcates which were not true; and reckless-s ness has also been shown in the past by repre? sentatlves of the American consular servlcel tn vlseing these certificates. The purpose of t; * government is to make these vlsed certiAoatea of such real value that it is safe to accept thera here ln the Unlted States. Thls wlll result tn doing away wlth most of the causes of com? plaint that have arisen. The Chinese student.' merchant or traveller wlll thereby secure before leavlng China a certifleate which will guarantee hlm against any improper treatment. But ln order that thls plan may be carm_r. out it is absolutely necessary that the dip__-i matlc and consular offlcers, Instead of treating' their work in viselng these certlflcates as per functory. shall understand that thls 18 or.e of their most important functions.
