MEASURE.
The Piatt Substitute It Adopted In Its Place
by a Majority of Fifteen It Continues
the Present Law and Applies the Exclu
sion Regulations to All Insular Territory
of the United States.
Washington, April 17. The drastic
Chineso exclusion bill, originally
framed by tho senators and representa
tives from tlio Pacific coast statos, mot
defeat in tho senate yesterday, and its
plnco waB substituted a measuro offered
by Piatt of Connecticut, extending tho
provisions of tho present exclusion law,
and also applying that exclusion to all
insular torritory under tho jurisdiction
of tho United States. Tlio vote by
which tho substitute took tho place of
tho original was ayes 48 to noes 33.
Once tho substitution had boon
mndo nit tho senators joined in its sup
port, witli tho single exception of lloui,
the substitute being passed, 7(1 to 1.
Somo minor conditions were mndo
admitting Chinese persons connected
witli national expositions and provid
ing for certificates of identification of
Chineso In our insular possessions.
Othcrvtlto, however, tlio substitute was
adopted substantially in tho form that
Piatt presented it.
Tho teiuito failed to substitute tho
enacting clause of the house bill for the
senate measuro, bo thnt tho bill will
now go to the house us an original
mousure, nnd, from a parliamentary
standpoint, will havo to be acted on

house had not passed a Ciiineso bill al

amendment reads:

BE8T MOVE FOR EXCLU8ION.
House Accepts the New Senate Proposition to
Make Sure of Legislation.
Washington, April 11). In deciding
to accept tho senate Chinese exclusion
bill, thu Pacific coast men in tiio hous
have yielded to the inevitable. To pat
tho bill in conference, nnd nttompt a
new measure would revive discussion
in tlio senate, and that would bo fatal
to pnssing nny bill before tho oxpira
tion of tlio Geary lnw. Whllo it ier
possible somo better bill could b
framed, tho Pacific coast men general
ly, and even thorn who favor tho com
mittee bill in tho senate, havo agreed
that it is best to accept the senate bill,
in order to have an exclusion law and
avoid any complications which might
ensue.
HITCH IN NEGOTIATIONS.
Boers' Request for An Armistice Refused by
British Government.
London, April 17. Tho Daily Mail
says it understands a serious hitch has
occurred in tho peaco negotiations in
South Africa, Tho cabinet has decided
to refuse a strongly worded roquost from
thu Hour leaders at Pretoria for aa
armistice pending tho negotiations.
This alone is not likely to cause the
Roers to withdraw from the conference,
says thu Daily Mail, but what threat
ens to stop tho negotiations is tho fact
that the government de:lines to pine
thu Capo rebels on tlio rnmo footing as
tho burghers witli respect to amnesty
and is not inclined to withdraw the
banishment proclamation. These feat
ures are regarded by tlio Roers ns two
cardinal principles.
