Chinese Minlster-Wu -was sharply
criticised In the Senate by Mitchell and
Teller for Interfering In legislative
matters. They declared he should have
been given his passports. Foraker and
Hoar defended him. Lodge made a vig
orous speech in .support of the measure.
WASHINGTON. April 12. A feature of
the Chinese exclusion debate In the Sen
ate today was the .sharp criticism of Min
ister Wu, of China, because of his .pro
test made to the Secretary of State against
the enactment of the pending bill. Sena
tors Mitchell, of Oregon, and Teller sharp
ly attacked him, declaring that he de
nerved to have been given his papers, and
that no self-respecting nation ould have
permitted such Interference in its legis
lative affairs. Foraker and Hoar insisted
that the Chinese Minister had done no
more than his duty, and that be would
have been derelict of his duty bad. he done
le.s Lodge delivered a speech In support
of the pending bill, although he "antag
onized that provision -which prevented
American ships from employing Chinese
eeimen. He vigorously urged the- enact
ment of the measure with the modifica
tions he suggested, maintaining that Con
gress should place permanent and not
merely tentative legislation on the statute
books. Report of the Proceedings.
When the Senate convened Mason pre
sented the conference report on the post
office appropriation bill, and it was agreed
to.
Consideration of the Chinese exclusion
bill was .resumed, Vest briefly addressing
the Senate in opposition to some feat
ures of the pending measure. He sympa
thized entirely with what had been said
In. opposition to the admission of Chi
nese. "I think." he said, "that aiy immigra
tion is undesirable when it brings into
this country those who want all the qirivl
leges of this country without participating
in any of the responsibilities. The China
man is a. social, political and industrial
parasite, and ought not to be admitted to
this country'
"He opposed "the provisions excluding
Chinamen from participating in the ex
positions in this country and excluding
Chinese from the Philippine Islands.
Patterson explained that in the absence
of Yest the provision excluding Chinese
who might come to the United States to
participate In expositions had been
stricken out. He also said that in some
"mysterious manner" that provision had
been inserted in the bill, and he thought
it was at the instance of the Secretary
of the Treasury.
Dolllver interrupted to say that the
statement of Patterson concerning the
Secretary of the Treasury was entirely
unwarranted.
Vest insisted that the Inhabitants of the
Philippines were citizens or the United
Statrs. Passing from the Chinese ques
tion. Vest regretted exceedingly that sec
tional discussion had been injected into
the bill yesterday. He hoped such dis
cussion never again would be heard in the
Senate. He paid a tribute t to Lincoln,
Garfield and McKInley. and paid the peo
ple of the South were sincere mourners at
the bier of all. The people of the North,
he said, -should rcmembefthat the South
had produced great and patriotic leaders,
and among them he -mentioned General
Washington and Hobert E. Lee. He said
he never would cease to feel kindly toward
President Boosevelt, who. in the broad
est spirit of "statennanship, had eulogized
Robert E. Lee. In the course of a bril
liant tribute to Wade Hampton, Vest said
he was the highest type of a Christian
.gentleman, whose memory would live for
centuries.
Iodp7e Supports tlie CHI.
In support of the pending bill Lodge
made a somewhat extended speech. Al
though there were some provisions of the
measure which he oppofd. he hoped such
sections would be omitted and tome others
modified. In his opinion, Chinese from the
Philippines phould be excluded. Congress
had cxeludrd Chinamen from Hawaii, and
he regarded It as Idle to say that Con
gress had not the authority to prevent the
Chinese from -coming to this -country from
the Philippines. He argued, too, that Chl
5use should not be permitted to enter the
islands certainly not unless the Filipinos
desired them to enter.
Lodge antagonized the substitute for the
pending bill offerrd by Piatt. He said the
adoption of the rubstltute would merely
put off the evil day. The present legis
lation was meager, and it was only
proper that Congress should act affirma
tively and couraseously upon the ques
tion. Xiodge strongly antagonized that provi
sion -which excluded Chinese from employ
ment on American ships. The adoption of
. that provision, he said, wou'.d put every
American vessel on the Pacific Coast in
an absolutely hopeless position. He de
clared that it would drivf every American
ship on the Pacific Coast under a foreign
flag and send every foreign ship into Van
couver. He urged that there were not
enough American seamen on the Pacific
Coast to meet the requirements of the
bill, and he pointed out that the provision
In the measure would operate to the dis
advantage of the country. He main
tained that the operation of the pending
'bill would not disturb our'trade relations
with China. He was firmly devoted to the
sanctity of the treaties of this country
and knowingly would not Vote to violate
any treaty certainly not any treaty with
China. The very legislation now on the
statute-books was in a measure a viola
tion of our treaty with China, as It was
enacted before the treaty of 1KH was ne
gotiated. The pending measure, he main
tained, was not In contravention of the
treaty of 18M. which provided that Chi
nese Jaborers should be excluded.
Hanna Interrupted to read a telegram
from the president of the Merchants Ex
change and tlie president of the Cham
ber of Commerce of San Francisco and
several other prominent San Francisco
business men. urging the re-enactment of
the Geary act because it would protect
fully American labor and doubtless would
add to the trade of the Unfted States.
"While I am on my feet," saia Hanna,
"1 will present an antidote to that dis
patch. It is a telegram from the Bar
tenders' Union, in support of the pending
bill."
Amid some laughter Lodge said he did
not think the Senate ought to follow
the suggestions of the Bartenders' Union
or any other particular organization. In
conclusion. Lodge made a general argu-
ment against the admission of Chinese
and against unrestricted Immigration
generally. In the presence of Mongolian
labor our own lahor would perish, and
he hoped the Senate wduld get out of
the pending hill the best legislation pos
sible to meet this great question.
- Frye explained that as President pro
tem, he frequently received dispatches
and letters bearing upon legislation pro
posed. He had received some concern
ing the pending- bill and he read several
dispatches from business men of San
Francisco expressing the hope, that the
pending bill would not pass, because it
was too drastic In its provisions; be
cause It would Interfere with -our trade
with China, arid Insisting upon the re
enactment of the Geary act, which, they
said, would protect amply American In
terests and AmeriS'i labor. Speaking
of the provision In the bill relating to
the employment or Chinese on Amerjoan
ships, "Frye referred to what he called
"a spectacular performance1' the other
day between the Senator from Indiana
(Fairbanks) and th6 Senator from Cali
fornia (Perkins).
Senator -Fairbanks took exception to
Frye's reference and said, warmly: "It
seemed a 'spectacular performance' to
only the Senator from Maine."
"I doubt It," Insisted Frye. "It seemed
so to many Senators."
Mitchell Arraign Wu.
Mitchell (Or.) had read -a telegram from
Thomas Geary, author of the exclusion
law, declaring that nothing short of the
Senate bill would effectually exclude Chi
nese laborers and protect American labor
ers. IMtchell criticised the Chinese Mln
Ister for a letter he had written to the
TO SPEAK IN
Eltweed Pomeroy, President of National Direct Legislation
- 'League.
Eltweed Pomeroy, who Is to
Eltweed Pomeroy.
Mr. Pomeroy is also contributor to the Outlook, Arena, Independent, Fed
eratlonist and a large number" of papers and periodical" He Is a ready
and pleasing talker, has spoken In almost every state In the Union, before
eight or 10 Legislatures, and last year made a lecture tour In England,
speaking twice In Oxford, and in many of the centers of English thought and
Hfe. He has written one book on direct legislation, "By the People," and
compiled a Government report of 250 pages, which was printed as a Senate
document in 1B9S.
Mr. Pomeroy was organizer and secretary of the First National Social
and Political Conference, which met in Buffalo In 1899. and chairman of the
second one. which held a week's ssion In Detroit in July, 1901.
Early this month, at a dinner given in his honor In Los .Angeles, he ad
dressed the Maypr, Common Council and Charter Commission of that city.
Los Angeles Is framing a new charter now. and it Is probable that direct
legislation will go into it. He spoke In Ashland Friday night, and at Salem
Saturday night. Tuesday night he speaks In Tacoma, -and Wednesday In
Seattle, and from there he goes East to speak In Spokane, Butte and other
places. Among the Interesting' places where he will speak Is Winnipeg,
where the people are excited over the abuse of the referendum by the
party in power In ordering a second vote on theliguor prohibitory law and
requiring a two-thirds majority this time. This. It Is said, has led to a
strong demand for direct legislation on everything. In Toronto the Ross
Government has passed a bill submitting the liquor question to a vote of
the people next Fall, and the cornpaign promises to be very exciting and
interesting. Mr. Pomeroy's writings were quoted by both sides of the House
in the legislative debates, and his meetings there will be large ones.
Mr. Pomeroy aided In framing the direot legislation amendment to be
voted on by the people of Oregon next June, and has a warm interest In
seelnff It passed.

secretary ot ouiie, proiesung against
the enactment of the pending exclusion
bill. Mitchell Insisted that the letter
was a gross violation of the Minister's
duty, and had such a document been
written by the Ambas'widor of Great
Britain. France or Germany, he would
have received his passports within 21
hours.
Hoar took sharp issue with Mitchell.
maintaining- that the Chinese 'Minister J
naa nmpie aumomy. unaer xne treaty, to
ma'ke his protest to the Secretary of
State.
Foraker maintained the right of the
Chinese Minister to comtminlcate with
the Secretary of State cqncernlng mat-
ters arising under that treaty. He urged
that the Minister had an undoubted right
to protect against the proposed leglsla-
'tlon apd to make such a protest was not
only his right but his duty, and if he
had not made It he would have been-j
derelict of his duty.
In -oppo;lUor to some points of the bill,
Galllngcr said the author of the "pend
ing -measure would not Jknojr the crftature
of bis "brain after It had passed through
the ,ordeal which was awaiting it in the
Senate. "What on earth," be Inquired,
"are the supporters of thetblll malting
this hullabaloo about, anyway?"
Toiler said it was the wish of the ad
vocates of the measure to exclude abso
lutely Chinese laborers, and he believed
It could not be done except by some
drastic measure fuch as that under con
sideration. Teller criticised the Chinese
Minister for "Interfering" with pending
legislation. It never had been done In
this country, he said, "and nothing In
the treaty can be tortured into an excuse
for such an act- No selt-respecilng na
tion ever has permitted sach an Inter
ference In Its affairs." He challenged
any Senator to point to a precedent for
such an act. "
Spooner, interrupting, with a smile
said: "I accept the challenge."
"I have no desire," replied Teller, "to
fight n duel with the Senator,"
If my memory does not betray me,"
continued Spconer, "during the considera
tion or the Dlngley tariff bill some of
the representatives of the foreign gov
ernments protested against the enact
ment of certain of Its provisions."
Dryden explained briefly that as a mem
ber of the immigration committee he
was opposed to several provisions of the
bill, particularly that providing that
American Vessels could, not employ Chi
nese seamen.
Patterson presented resolutions adopted
by seafaring men in New York, Phlla
delphla and San Francisco, In support of
the pending bill and urging that they
could do the work on Oriental trading
ships, "despite the heat.
Spooner then called attention to the
protests entered by the Ambassador of
Germany and the Minister of Austro
Hungary against some provisions of the
Dlngley bill pending In the Senate.
Teller urged that those 'diplomats had
acted at the instance of their govern
ments. Foraker read Minister Wu's letter to
Secretary Hay, to show that ho had writ
ten It by Instruction of his government.
Teller declined to accept the letter as
conclusive proof of that statement, and
declared that If all the vaporlngs of the
Chinese Minister were to be accepted as
he official statement of his government !
he would have been senuhome long ago.
Foraker maintained that "Wu had done
nothing more than his plain duty as a
representative of a power friendly to the
United States.
The Senate then, at 4:05 P, M., went
into executive session, and at 4:15 P. M.
adjourned.

ISfoS. M'KfNLEY'S PENSION
HOUSE PASSES THE BIIX GRAJTT
ING ?50OO A YEAR.
Bell, the Colorado Populirt, Ob
jected, but All Democrats Sup
ported -tke Measure.
WASHINGTON. April 12. The House
today passed a bill granting- a pension to
the widow of President McKInley of J5O00
a year. It had previously passed the Sen
ate and now goes to the President for
signature. Although favorable action on
the measure was unanimous, an Inquiry
by Bell (Pop. Colo.) as to the precedents
for such action led to an animated dis
cussion. Bell contended that many wid
ows of poor soldiers were without pen
sions, and that Mrs. McKInley had Inde
pendent means, makTng a pension un
necessary. Grosvenor (Rep. O.) severely
criticised Bell's position. Richardson
(Dem. Tenn.) and several other Demo
cratic members spoke -for the bill as In
line of precedent. Kleberg (Dem. Tex.),
an ex-Confederate soldier, supporting It
on the ground thnt President McKInley
had wiped out 'the last vestige of section
alism. The day was devoted to private
pension bills, 177 being passed.
The Proceeding.
Before the regular order was taken up,
some business was transacted by unani
mous consent. Among the bills passed
was one for the creation and preserva
tion or the petrlfldi forests national
park in Arizona.
The House then went Into committee
of the whole and proceeded with the con
sideration of prh'ate pension bills. The
Senate bill pensioning Ida S. McKInley
widow of the late President, at $5000 a
year led to some discussion. Bell (Pop.
Colo.) asked what Justification there was
for such a large amount. Grosvenor an
swered that this followed a well-established
precedent from the time of Wash
ington. Bell said he would not object, but he
considered the precedent absolutely wrong
and Indefensible. The widow, in this
case, had an Independent income, the
husband's estate Inventorying at $210,0GO
and being understood to Include valuable
mining stocks. Mr. Bell said many wid
ows, of old soldiers were without pensions,
and he referred to the number of widows
who .could be assisted by the amount of
this one pension.
Gros'enor answered with considerable
feeling. He paid a tribute to the beauty
of character of Mrs. McKInley and ex
pressed astonishment that any member
Df Congress should view this pension In
any venal spirit and should propose going
to the probate court to learn' whether the
widow could sustain herself. Grosvenor
characterized such methods as taose of a
"Coroner's Jury." It was the first time
In the history "of such legislation, he said,
that there ever was found a man with
the sentiment of a Shylock standing on
the bridge and estimating the amount of
property that a widow might have.
Cannon (Rep. 111.) also stated that pen
sions to the wife of the Presldeat wero
In the line ofprecedent.
Gaines (Dem. Tenn.) asked why the
precedent was not observed in the case
of Mrs. Harrison.
Grosvenor said Mrs. Harrison had been
consulted and action doubtless would be
taken- He pointed out, however, that the
cases were qulte'dlfferent.
Bell explained that he had made no ob
jection to the pensjon. He merely called
attention to the lack of pensions for
many widows of humble soldiers, this
amount being sufficient to felve ?S pen.
slons to 52 widows.
Calderhead (Rep. Kan.) referred to the
number of widows of Union soldiers re
ceiving pensions, not because of charity,
he said, but In the spirit of patriotism
and Justice.
Richardson (Dem. Tenh.) said he had
seen granted several pensions to the wid
ows of Presidents. The custom had stood
from time Immemorial. If this was the
first case it might be desirable to stop
and inquire as to the next. But as this
was a time-honored precedent, Richardson
declared he would be the last to break
a precedent In the case of William Mc
KInley. Richardson announced himself
emphatically In fayor of the bill.
A vote was taken on considering the
bill to a favorable report and, without a
dissenting voice, favorable action was
taken, which was equivalent to passage
of the bill.
The calendar was entirely cleared of
private pension bills, all of those reported
being passed by the House, 177 In all, and
Including that of Mrs. McKInley. .
At 3:50 the House adjourned.

The circular explains that "this pro.
vision is limited to persons resident in
the state or territory where the forest

sufficient supply of timber or stono on
their own claims for the purposes enu
merated, or for necessary use In develop

the application the supervisor will imme

the case. If, In his judgment, the appli

of such timber, he will thereupon approve
the application, giving the party permis
