TWO BILLS IN THE HOUSE
ARGUMENTS FOR AND AGAINST
STRICT CHINESE EXCLUSION.
Congressman Kahn, of California,
Speaks for the Minority Substi
tutePacific Coast Vleira.
"WASHINGTON, April 4. The House to
day began consideration of the Chinese
cxcluslpn bllL No opponents of the gen
eral principle of exclusion appeared, but
members were divided in their support of
the two bills presented. HItt (Rep. III.),
Perkins (Rep. N. Y.) and Adams (Rep.
Pa.) supported the. majority bill, and
Clark (Dem. Mo.), Kahn (Rep. Cal.) and
Naphen (Dem. .Mass.) spoke for the mi
nority substitute.
The Proceedings.
At the opening of the session the
Speaker laid before the House an invita
tion from the Army of the Cumberland for
the participation by a- committee of the
House in the services at Arlington ceme
tery upon the occasion of the reinterment
of the remains of the late Major-General
William S. Rosecrans, which are to be
removed from Los Angeles, Cal., to Ar
lington about the middle of May. Upon
motion of Grosvenor (Rep. O.), a Joint
resolution was adopted for the acceptance
of the invitation, and the appointment of
a joint committee to attend the ceremonies
at Arlington.
Some routine business was transacted.
A small urgent deficiency bill, carrying
$143,000, was passed. Mahon (Rep. Pa.)
asked unanimous consent that the omni
bus claims bill be sent to conference, but
Maddox (Dem. Ga.) objected. This was
the day set aside for the consideration of
war claims, but Mahon, chairman of the
committee on war claims, yielded, with
the understanding that a week from Tues
day be devoted to -war claims, and the
House thereupon went into committee of
the whole, and took up the Chinese exclu
sion bill.
The. Speaker called upon Moody (Rep.
Mass), who Is to succeed Secretary Long
May 1, to preside over the committee of
the whole. As the future Secretary of the
Navy assumed the gavel, the members on
both sides of the House gave him an ova
tion. Hltt (Rep. 111.), chairman of the com
mittee on foreign affairs, who had per
sonal charge of the Chinese exclusion bill,
said the committee was unanimous in the
opinion that the admission of Chinese la
borers Into this country would be a seri
ous evil. One of the main problems which
the committee had to solve, he said, was
in connection with the admission of the
privileged classes, merchants, teachers ana
students, so as to prevent fraud and at
the same time to avoid harassing and
tormenting bona fide Chinese merchants.
Perkins (Rep. N. Y.), who drew the re
port upon the bill, explained the measure
in detail.
Clark (Dem. Mo.), a member of the com
mittee who made a minority report in
favor of the Senate bill, which Is more
drastic than the House measure, followed
Perkins. He predicted that If the Su
preme Court would decide that the citizens
and rubjects of Spain in the Philippine
Islands became American citizens by an
nexation, thus allowing the free entry of
Chinamen into the United States from the
Philippines, the Islands would be unloaded.
Clark maintained that the people of the
Pacific Coast understood the Chinese
problem better than the people of other
actions, just as, he said, the people of'
the South were more competent to deal
with the negro question than those of the
North. For that reason he favored the
bll which the representative? of the Pa
cific Coat had prepared. If the substi
tute bill failed. Clark said he would offer
the provision to prohibit Chinese crews
m American ships as an amendment to
the majorltv bill. He characterized the
threat of the Pacific Mail Company to
rail under English register If the provision
vent Into the bill as a "bluff, pure and
slnnle."
After some remarks by Adams (Rep.
Pi.) In favor of the majorltv bill. Kahn
(Pep. Cal.) made an exhaustive speech In
Fiipport of the minority bill. He reviewed
the whole history of Chinese exclusion,
rnd concluded as follows:
"We of the Pacific Coast are perhaps
more deeply concerned in thlB question
than any other people. "We feel their
presence among us more than any other
Faction" of the country. Under the census
of 1500 there were 4,091.349 inhabitants west
of thp Rocky Mountains. Included in this
ronu'ntion are G7,7?fl Chinese, while but
f?134 riiinere are distributed among the
7991445 inhabitants throughout the other
states of the Union. We have probably
learned to know the Chinaman better
than our fellow-citizens elsewhere. He Is
n present, living, vital problem with us.
and we feel that our cause is also the
omr. of the laborer and the wageworker
i th Eastern States. It is only the sor
did and the selfish who prefer a low
standard of wages and a low 'grade of
morality mpn who want cheap labor be
cause it will Increase their Individual
profits, who would open loopholes In the
harriers wo have erected after many years
of hard, hitter, practical experience.
"I had honed that the committee would
have seen fit to allow the section giving
to American seamen that same measure
of protection against Chinese competition
that we accord the shomakpr, the tailor
pnd all other skilled and unskilled me
chanics. When the bill comes up for dis
cussion under the live-minute rule I shall
have something to av In favor of such a
provision. In conclusion, let me say that
our exclusion laws hrfve been a great
boon td the laborers of this country. They
now ask us to continue extending our
sheltering aegis over them, and I feei
that there Is not a patriotic, loyal. 11b-crty-lovlng
American who does not desire
to see the"workIngmen of this country, its
'hewers of wood and drawers of water,'
protected against hls .-unequal competi
tion. The American laborer and mechanic.
In his new and comfortahle home, seated
at his fireside, surrounded by his wife
and little ones. Is the peer of any wage
worker in any part of the world. Let us
keep him so."
Naphen (Dem. Mass.). the last speaker
of the day. also supported the minority
bill. At 5:15 the House adjourned.
ALASKA BOUNDARY.
CongrrcKsman Cochran Asks For an
Investigation.
WASHINGTON, April 4. Representa
tive Cochran, of Missouri, today intro
duced the following resolution:
"That the Secretary of State be and
"ho is hereby requested to inform the
House of Representatives whether the
State Department has received from of
ficial or other sources information as
to the reliability of reports which have
recently appeared In public prints to
the effect that in American territory,
near the border of Alaska, British and
Canadian officials (exercising authority
by agreement entered into by the Gov
ernment of the United States and the
British Government) are making sur
veys and encroachments upon the ter
ritory npt included in said agreement;
and are removing and destroying an
cient landmarks and monuments long
ago erected by the Russian Gpvernment
to mark the Alaskan boundary. And that
the Secretary of State be also requested
to Inform the t House what steps, if
any, the State Department has taken to
ascertain the facts as to alleged fresh
encroachments upon American territory
and the alleged removal and destruc
tion of landmarks and monuments, and
to present the same."
Ho Violation of Transport Rules.
WASHINGTON, April 4. Secretary
Root has prepared a report In answer
to a resolution of the Senate calling
for all the information collected in the
reports of Colonels Chamberlain and
Maus, of the Inspector-General's De
partment, in regard to the transporta
tion on transports of freight for private'
firms or individuals. The Secretary
Instituted a thorough Investigation of
the transport service at all the points
of shipments in this country and in
Manila, and as a result he is able to
inform the Senate that the records of
the department show that there aro no
cases of the character referred to Ha
the Senate resolution of inquiry. The
rules of the service prohibit the trans
portation of private merchandise for
private persons, and it is so strictly en
forced that, even samples cannot be car
ried on Government ships. It is expected
that the Secretary's report will be for
warded to theiSenate tomorrow.

such persons therein be. and the same are
nereDy extended and contlnud in full force
and effect until the 7th day of December,
1S04, and so long as the treaty between
China and the United States, concluded
March 17, 1394, may be continued in force

MANILA MASSACRE ORDER.
It "Was Issued liy the Late General
Luna.
WASHINGTON, April 4. A little over a
year ago the Senate adopted a resolution
called on the Secretary of War for in
formation tending to show the au
thenticity and genuineness of tho
alleged order for the massacre of
the foreign residents of Manila on the
evening and night of February 15, 1693.
The Secretary of War has Just made re
sponse to this resolution, all of the time
since the adoption of the resolution being
required to complete the tcarch for the
necessary papers here and In the islands.
The Secretary transmits, in answer to the
resolutions, a photographic reproduction of
the alleged massacre order, bearing date
of February 7, 1599, and with this photo
graph are a number of papers intended
to demonstrate that it is an absolute copy
of an original that actually existed and
was issued by the late General Luna. Confirmatory-evidence

stated, is a statement by Aguinaldo. af
firming the genuineness of Luna's signa
ture to the order.
The Secretary's repoTt states that Luna
was at that time director or Assistant
Secretary of War of the Malolos Govern
ment, and commanding General of the
Philippine army operating in the northern
boundaries of the City of Manila. Sandico,
who was a Colonel of militia, and whom
Army officers In 1S99 generally believed to
have been the author of this order, was a
member of General Luna's staff, and prob
ably the medium through which the order
was given by Luna to the chiefs of militia
stationed in Manila. The Secretary says
that additional corroborative evidence as
to the authenticity of the order in ques
tion is the fact, as set forth In the accom
panying papers, that this Luna order was
discovered in the personal effects of Lieutenant-Colonel
Jose Leyba, an intimate
friend of General Luna, member of his
staff and one of the most active officers
'who took part in the defense of the Phil

THE BUTTE STRIKE.
,
New Men Taking; the Places of Engi
neers "Who Walked Out.
BUTTE, Mont, April 4. New men are
rapidly being found to fill the places of
the hoisting engineers of the Amalga
mated Copper Mining Company, who
three days ago walked out and tied up
nine of the biggest producers of the com
pany. The Brotherhood of Engineers Is
doing all In its power to assist the com
pany in securing crews. By Sunday it is
thought all of tho mines will be fully
equipped, though It may be a few days
later before the properties will be run
ning full blast.
The converters at the lower works of
the Washoe smelters of Anaconda were
closed down today, as a result of the
strike. Several hundred men were added
to the list of the Idle. Unless activities
are resumed in the mines within two day3
all smelting operations will be suspended.
Settle Down for Long: Fight.
PUNXSUTAWNEY, Pa., April 4. The
miners' strike in this district now looks
as though it would affect the business in
terests of the town to a very great extent,
as the merchants depend largely on the
miners' trade. That the contest between
the miners and company Is going to be a
long and bitter one Is shown by tho fact
that the Rochester & Pittsburg Coal &
Iron Company is dismissing the scalemen,
a large number of bookkeepers and the
majority of the clerical force. Many
single miners already have left for the
West and other fields In search of work.
Unless coke can be secured, the blast
furnaces will be closed, throwing 200 men
out of employment.

kidney and liver trouble, and after trying the best doctors here and In other
places, I found no relief. I was so bad tnat I had to have Injections of opium to
relieve me of the pain. I could not sleep nights or work days. I lost twenty-flvo
pounds. I took Warner's Safe Cure, and six bottles cured me. I have regained my
twenty-five pounds, and feel as well as I ever did. I cannot say too much in
praise of Warner's Safe Cure for liver and kidney diseases."
Mrs. Rebecca Smith, of Westfield. N. J., who Is 92 years old, says she has been
cured of kidney disease and so-called female weakness by Warner's Safe Cure,
and that she has not had a pain In the back for 20 years.
Thousands of letters like the above are received every day from thankful men
and women, who have been cured by Warner's Safe Cure.
There Is no secret about Warner's Safe Cure. Those physicians who do not
frankly advise the patient whose kidneys are out of order to take Warner's Safe
Cure, prescribe its ingredients at a much greater cost to the patient. It Is SAFE
because it Is purely vegetable and contains no harmful drugs. And it is a cure,
because it does not constipate; It is a valuaDle and effective tonic; stimulates diges
tion and arouses the torpid liver, putting the patient Into the very best receptive
state for the work of the restorer of the kldnej's. It prepares the tissues, soothes
irritation, allays Inflammation, kills the disease germs, stimulating and healing the
enfeebled organs at, the same time. Warner's Safe Pills taken with Warner's Safe
Cure move the bowels gently and aid a speedy cure.

"We have used Hood's Sarsaparilla and
Hood's Pills for a number of years, and have
found both to be exactly as represented. I
recommond Hood's Sarsaparilla as a good
Spring medicine, and the pills cannot he sur
passed." Mrs. Alex Smith, West Duluth, Minn.
"I think there is no blood medicine equal to
,Hood's Sarsaparilla. I have a family of "five
little ones, and have used it every Spring for
twelve years. There Is something about Hood's
Sarsaparilla' which other medicines lack. My
husband was bothered with bolls. He was so
bad for several weeks that he could scarcely
get around. He began taking Hood's Sarsa
parilla, and since the use of one bottle he has
never had a boll." Lillian R. Dixon, Pike, .0.

"Sir, It Is your kidneys,"
said the family physician,
' that causes that pain in your
back; that has cast you down;
given you that worn-out flab
by feeling; depressed your
spirits, destroyed your diges
tion, ruined your appetite and,
thrown you into despondency.
The result of my test is shown
in this Jesting tube. You
might have made the same
test in an ordinary glass tum
bler or bottle and found out
for yourself by leaving some
morning urine remain undis
turbed for 21 hours. Then, if
you find a reddish sediment
like "brick dust" in the bot
tom of the glass, or the urine is
cloudy or milky, qr there are
particles or germs floating
about in it, it means that your
kidneys are diseaced.
THERE IS (jNE CURE
THAT CURES.
There Is no time to waste.
If you would be cured. It i3
dangerous to neglect your
kidneys fpr even a dav, and
