Geary Likes the Treaty.

Washington, March 28.—Representative Geary, of California, framer of the Chinese registration act, causes some Surprise by coming out mapproval of the new Chinese treaty. lie doesnot agree with those who have argued that it amounts to an abrogation of the Geary law, but looks upon it rather as a recognition of the registration principle, which is the feature of the law that bears his name. He regards the proposed treaty as an advance on the present one, in that it allows the total prohibition of Chinese immigration, while the present treaty provides only for its suspension.
