CLARK WANTS NO CHINESE 2 flousc Adopts Shonts' Recommenda tion on Labor Question Strug pie Will Be Renewed Today. Setback for Wilson. WASHINGTON. Jan. 26. The first, at tempt at filibustering during this session occurred In the House today In a Demo cratic endeavor to defeat the provision of the urgent deficiency bill waiving the olsht-hour law for foreign laborers on the Panama Canal. The amendment was irtaced in the bill in committee of the whole after the House had divided many times on every pretext which Williams eould make the cause for a vote, ""hen ihe bl'l was finally finished, late in the day, a demand for a separate vote and roll-call on that amendment was made and ordered, at which time the House ad journed. The vote will occur tomorrow. Thc amendment was ruled out of the bill on a point of order on Tuesday, and its insertion today was effected under the provisions of a special rule brought in from the rules committee for the purpose. The only other controversy of the day resulted from an attempt to increase by 5115.000 the amount for meat inspection by the Department of Agriculture. This in crease was refused after an animated de bate. All Coolies Alike to Clark. After haif'a' dozen attempts to obtain ai roll-call on various motions naa lauea, ihe House went into committee of the whole and' the oight-hour amendment was nt once offered under the rule. Clark of Missouri ga,ve notice that he should immediately prepare a Dill extend ing the Chinese exclusion act to the Isth mus of Panama, "and I will make It ex tend to Japanese coolies, .too," ho de clared. "because all coolies look alike to me. and I will make y,ou got out into the open if you Intend to dig that canal with Chinamen. Every possible point in the progress of the amendment was fought, but it was finally adopted, S3 to -35. Clark offered a Chinese exclusion amendment according to his announce ment, and before it went out on a point of order he read remarks of Chairman Shonts, of the Canal Commission, saying it was a mistake to hamper the construc tion of the canal with the eight-hour law. the contract-labor laws or any other but police and sanitary laws. No More for 3Ieat Inspection. A seeming controversy between the Sec retary of Agriculture and Congress on the question of meat inspection" developed an hour of spirited debate and resulted in the defeat of several attmpts to increase the deficiency appropriation of 533,000 car ried by the bill for that purpose. It was first sought to add $115,000 to the fund. and, when that failed, $20,000 more was suggested, but that also failed. Tawney characterized he bill as "another Illustra tion of the attempt to coorce Congress into giving appropriations beyond that which was provided in the regular appro priation bills. The bill was finished under the five minute rulo at 5:20 o'clock. For the Dem ocrats, Clark of Missouri demanded a roll can on the eight-hour waiver for the canal, and, pending this, Littauor moved an uajournment. 'mis motion was con tested and had to be put twice with a dl vision of the House before it was declared carried ten minutes later. The vote on the eight-hour amendment win De taken up the first thine tomorrow. after which the bill will be put on Its passage.

As soon as he could get on his -feet he remarked with a pleasant smile that he wished General Howard would forget a little more of that ancient history. "His marked characteristics were kindness, courtesy, the very beautiful Ideal of gentility and the extraordi nary devotion to duty as he saw it. His Christian sentiments were never obtruded upon strangers, but he was pronounced and outspoken as a Chris tian whenever the occasion demanded it. It was always a delight to meet him and talk with him upon 'any topic connected with the public interests, but more especially did he shine In private life."
