found himself lead ing his men against insurgents near Manila In one engagement the Filipinos led by a dashing young white man made a vicious stand Maj Rockefeller shot him dead and the insurgents tied From letters found in the young mans pockets it was learned that he was known in Hong Kong as Paul Stanhope Further inquiry revealed the fact that he was the child Robert stolen by the Chinese

tative of The Examiner metb George C Gorham today at theb I rooms or the Democratic Congres b sional CommitteeI I 1 Being asked what bearing the question of Chinese immigrations would have upon the approaching election he said Chinese immigration has never r been heartily opposed by any con a siderable proportion of the Repub S lican Party east of the Rockys Mountains The representatives of the Pacific coast from both par ties made an uphill fight for four J I teen years after the ratification of t the Burlingame Treaty in 1868 be j fore they succeeded in obtaining legislation for the exclusion of i1 Chinese laborers from the United s States They were then obliged to a consent to a limitation to the act p of ten years The two parties were c r at that time very evenly divided in i the House and in the Senate there v was a tie The Eastern Republi i cans regarded the anti Chinese de c clarations of the California Repre t sentatives as mere demagogism to t catch voters and it was in that i spirit that this temporary enact t ment was allowed by some Republi e cans to be passed Californians i know how slacky the law was en i forced on the Mexican and Cana i dian borders The act expired by f the limitation in 1892 A presiden i tial campaign was then opening I Republican managers grudgingly consented to the reenactment of the czclusion law for ten years more It was urged upon them that to doC otherwise would be to throw the Pacific coast into the hands of the Democrats After this exclusion act a treaty with China was nego 2 tiated during Mr Clevelands ad a ministration by which the Chinese v Government consented to the exclu t aion of her subjects from this coun tl try for a period of ten years This n was done to appease the conscience ot those people in the east who thought the Chinese had a right to come to our shores whether we wi wanted them or not Although this 1treaty will not expire until 1904 it would be utterly useless in the ab sence of any legistation by Con gress If the exclusion act of 1892 is not extended by a new law passed before May 6 1902 Chinese labor ers will be as free to come into San Francisco or anywhere else in the United States without limit as to numbers as are the subjects of any European nation If MKinley should be reelected he would be in olficejat that time I The Senate will be Republican the House probably Democratic but would be helpless on the subject Unlimited Chinese immigration h can only be prevented after the 6th of May 1902 by an act of Congres passed by both Housesand approv ed by the President ItI do not myself believe that un der a Republican administration the exclusion act will be extended I The influences which now pre vail with Mr McKinley are the 1 enemies of organized labor and are a friendly to the immigration of the cheapest labor that can be brought i either from Europe or from Asia to displace the natives and naturaliz ed citizens of theUnited Stateswho claim the right to living wages and to lay theorganizationsfor self pro i tection against the organization of h the coal iron and steel and other E trusts against themJ ItIt is my beliefthat the only safe I ty against the reopening of Chinese immigration without check into the a United States lies in the election of Mr Bryan and a Democratic house 1 of representatives and such a popu i lar Demonstration by organized labor as will command the acquies II cence of the senate in the enactment 1 of a new Chinese exclusion law t OASTOnXAs Bean theThe Kind You Haw Always Bought Signature Yft of I slgnatnreJULIEN JULIEN JOTTINGS

renowned university and gale me tho credit of pollening a greet deal of knowledge I had not been on the place long before a farmer asked me to survey his woodlot on the side of a mountain He said that he die not care for a very accurate survey for land on the mountain was not very valuable He wanted to know about how many acres there were in the lot in order to conclude bargainI I remember well his expression as he picked up a bit of straw put it 1 in his mouth and looked at me He I wanted to know absent how much and as he proncunced this word forcibly bly ho really looked as if he thought that I was not the man to make theI run I survey I was at first not inclined to give up trouting for surveying but theI look of the farmer stirred within meI desire to assert myself and to prove to him that the job he proposed was as simple to me as digging potatoes was to him I therefore told him wouldsend for my instruments and as soon as they arrived I would I survey the lot Send for instruments I he ejacu lated I sposed you could survey without instruments I At first I thought he was disposed 1 make fun of me but looking in J bis clear and honest eyes I could not j detect any look of iron I explained j him how necessary it would be j have certain surveying instru 5 ments which I endeavored to de t scribe in popular language t He listened attentively to my ac count of the compass and the plane t table and after I had finished ached me a question which showed me that i bad failed completely to give him t the slightest idea of how I proposed 1 survey his land We made an ap I pointment to visit the lot and then sent for my instruments During the night I confess I was troubled by the farmers look and his remark I sposed you could t survey it without instruments His t ideal of me had apparently been a I lofty one and I felt that IPersonil tied to him the great university the I a seat of all learning whore men are i taught to achieve results without the I aids which are essential

wagon to the foot It the mountain I took with me a surveyors surveyors chain and a compass I 1 noticed that the farmer had a spring t balance with him such as butchers often usa to weigh moat and vege t tables and behind the seat of the IIt wagon was a fiat board about three t feet long by two feet wide I We left tho village road which i t was none of the smoothest at a pair i 1 tt 11 5 t thoI ban

but pain ful to the occupants of the wagon I eat on the farmer and he sat on mo rather oftener I believe than t eat on him It is still a wonder to me that the harness held together ITinflfiy we reached a place where tho way was impassable for n vngon and the Horse looked around lIt us as if it ejCjpected ut now to do r < mo vrqrk WQ gotout of the wn on and the fanners man coming up at that in stant took a bag from under the seat Che faa < mec todk the board and the spring balances and we entered the wooi br a narrow path which led up tie fountain This path was al most oblitwated in place by HUMOR ofttjntt which here and there caught tl V e luJ ghi with a splendor luoli as h seen to the greatest advantage in openings in the forest where the brilliant light is contrasted with the gloom of the deep wood Y companions did not reply to my ejaculations of delight at tho beauty of tho path and strode on with serious countenances as if ferns and underbrush were much in thte way The path presently skirted an open pasture and T immediately discerned the purpose of the bag which the farmers man carired It contained Belt which ho strewed upon some ledges in the pasture He then ut tered a peculiar call and a herd of cattle rushed down the slopes The man hastily regained the path just in time for a fierce bull with bloodshot eyes was close upon him The farmer looked over his herd with apparent satisfaction and remarked that salting cattle was apt to be a dangerous business he had a man once who was almost killed by the rushing herd We left the cattle in rosee lion at the field followed tho path again into the woods and finally reached the woodlot I immediately set i about measuring the sides of the field with the aid of the farmers man He went ahead with one end of the chain while I held the other Thus we pro ceeded around the lot and then wo measured the distance from one cor ner to an opposite corner Noth ing then remained but to compute the area of the field I promised the farmer who had watched me from a seat on a stump that I would make the computation that evening with the aid of my table of logarithms The farmer arose as if it were time to assert himself he told me that it was essential that he should know Immediately about how many acres there were in the lot and he proposed to make an estimate upon the spot felt that the word logarithms hadI convinced him that I was a theoreti cal man and that I lacked the power of getting quickly at results I earnestly set my wits to work to think of rome rough method of get = ting the number of acres in the lot set up my instruments and meas ured off perpendiculars and got into state of hopeless confusion for I had not accuktomed myself to take what is called a commonsense view of such an undertaking I was in somewhat the position of the sculptor who should seek to polish a statue I before ho had completely roughI hewn it The farmer began with great M Iwunity to pace along tho boundaries of tho field pausing at each Qorner and writing down with a stump of pencil the number of paces in the pacedl completely around the lot which was foursided one he paced across it from one corner to an opposite cor ner thus dividing the field into two triangles Ho told me that the aver o age length of his paces was two feet and six inches And he obtained in this way a very good approximation a to the results I had obtained with the chain S I failed however to see how ho could calculate the number of acres for it was not likely that he knew the trigonometrical formulas neces sary fprithe purpose I was soon on lightened for bidding his man bring the balance and tho board he di vided with his foot rule the sides of the board into inches One side of the board contained JJO inches and the shorter side 24 inches IrcpreMoltts he ffone of these inches represents 100 feet this board would represent a field 3600 feet long and 2400 feet wide and if I should multi r r Wi JIM af Site fcafy Vr fti X j t 4ho eont41Dki1 lslr1 a AIt1bi kgb1ssie teat He locked at ins with on inquiring look I bowed assent and at his re quest multiplied 8600 by S400 anc obtained the number of 8640000 square foot Ho then asked me to divide thfr number by the number of square feet there are in An acre in order to obtain the number of acres that the board represented Fortunately I remem bered that there are 43560 square feet in an acre so I porformed the sum for him and obtained 198 a S the result or very nearly 200 acres The farmer then attached the board on his spring balance and found that it weighed eight pounds Ho then laid off in inches on tho same scale of 100 feet to one inch > the longest side of the field along the longest aide of the board and talcing a string the length of which was equal on the same scale to one side of the field added to the length of the diagonal of the loth held its ends on the longer side of the board Qno of tho ends wu at a corner and the ether at the end of tho distance which represented the long ido of the lle2dI He marked with his pencil the a point on the board which he reached by stretching the loop of the siring BO that the portion of the string on one side of the pencil side repre sent the length of one ride of the field and the portion on the otherI side the length of tho distance be tween the opposite cornersI In the same way he markedOut on the board the remaining corner o fthe the field and he drew straight lines on the board between these corners There It said ho I have a map I of my field It isnt a square or any thing regular It is kind oft woppcrI jawed figure and I spose you think my way of getting at the number of acres isortibf wopperjawed But I never had your education and it is the best I can do Then he directed his man so to oo saw off portions of the board as to I leave only the figure of the fieldI When this had been done he weighed what remained and the result was four pounds The whole board said he t weighed eight pounds and repre sented 200 acres Therefore my fieldI contains 100 acres for the board now weighs just onehalf of what it did before You will be able with your instruments togeta better result but I guess Im pretty near right We gathered up the farmers sur veying instrumentsthe spring bal ance the saw and the board and descended tho mountain With my table of logarithms I worked out a result that evening which was mere accurate than the one obtained by him but the dif ference between my result and his was not very great and I felt that I had failed to impress the farmer as a man who could do something without the aid of a book a man for immediate action One might wonder why the fanner did not get tho contents of the field by measuring the perpendicular or shorter distance from any angle of one of the triangles into which the field was divided to tho side opposite this angle The contents of the tri 2 angle would then be the length of this opposite side multiplied by one half the length of this perpendicular and the contents of the whole field would be tho sum of that of the tri angles Unfortunately however the farmer had net the advantage of a very simple knowledge of geometry and tho young surveyor was too desir ous of using a formula which gave the contents of the field when the three sides of each of the Wangles were known What aro afterward seen to be the simplest methods are often overlooked at first Youths Companion cScourge Of the 53000000 square miles which the worlds land surface comprises r 40000000 are more or less continu ously subject
