Through KantuT
Washington, April 9. The United

rado to appropriate for purposes of ir
rigation the waters of the Arkansas

inal action to restrain on tbe ground
that the stream flows through Kansas

injured by such an appropriation of the
water. The chief justice said that the
case is one in which the court can prop
erly assume jurisdiction. He said also
that the action of the court in overrul
ing the demurrer was intended to be
without prejudire, but was taken be
cause the importance ot the cate was
such that it should not be decided with
out full proof on the questions set up in
the allegations of damage made by tl.e
state of Kansas.

MORE STRINGENT.
Mixed Ble di Art Now Included In Excluded

the Bill Also Apply to Colonial Possess.
Ions of the United States.
Washington, April 8. The house
yesterday passed the Chinese excluisin
bill, after incorporating in it several
amendments which increased the dras
tic character of the measure. The
principal one not onlyexcludes Chines
by birth and descent, but all Chinese
of mixed blood. . The chief struggle
was over an amendment to jprohibit the
employment of Chinese sailori on
American ships. An amendment cov
ering this proposal was ruled out on a
point of order, but subsequently was
modified to evade the ruling and was
adopted, 100 to 74.
As passed the bill practically re
enacts all the existing exclusion laws,
and incorporates with them the exist
ing treaty regulations. It extends
these exclm-ion laws to the Philippines
and other possessions of the United
States, and forbids Chinese labor ia our
colonial possessions coming into this
country. The Philippine commission,
by the terms of the bill, is directed t
adopt proper measures for the enforce
ment of the provisions of the bill in
the Philippines
Two amendments were made without
division, one by Clark or Missouri to
amend the definition of "teacher" on
der the privileged classes, so as to re
quire that for two years before admis
sion the teacher should have been en
gaged in "teaching the higher
branches," and another by Coombs of
California to provide that Chinee stu
dents shall leave the country immedi
ately npon completion of their course
of study.

Democrats were taken completely by
surprise. As it was after tbe usual
hour for adjourhment, the attendance
was slim. The Democrats attempted
to filibuster, but a roll of tbe house
finally secured a quorum and the bill
was passed.

the portions which they consider to be
of public interest. It was executed in
1899. There is a codicil attached on
the day of the deceased's last departure
from England, and another cabled from
Cape-Town, which leaves 4,000 pounds
yearly to keep up the spot in the Ma
toppo hills where his remains are to be
buried. The will further directs that
a railroad extension be made into the
Matoppo hills, so that visitors may go
there at the week end to inspect the
"majesty and glory of their surround
ings."
Mr. Rhodes explicitly savs he is to be
huried in an aperture cut in the solid
rock, surmounted by a brass tablet
bearing the words: "Here lie the re
mans of Cecil John Rhodes." No one
else is to be buried there who has not
deserved well of his country.
Mr. Knodes bequeaths all his landed
property near Huluwayo and Salisbury,
both in Matabeleland, to trustees, whom

CHINESE EXCLUSION
SENATOR MITCHELL MAKE8 THE
OPENING 8PEECH.
Measure Is on the Same Basis as the Ex
isling Law Though Its Provisions Are
Drastic They Are More Liberal in Sesne
Respects Than Those ef The Geary Aet
Which It Is to Replace.
Washington, April 7. The senate
haa begun the comideration of the Chi
nese exclubion bill, Mitchell making
the opening speech. He pointed Ml
forcefully the necessity for the exclu
sion of Chinese laborers, and carefully
and elaborately analyzed the bill. He
said that it had been constructed ot
Ilia basis of existing law, in the light
of experience and of the decision! ol
the courts. While its provisions were
drastic, he said, it was in some respect
more liberal than the Geary law.
His speech had been carefully pre
pared and was given close attention by
senators. Mitchell, in beginning, said
that the policy of Chinese exclusion
had become one of the great policies of
this country, acquiesced in by all polit
ical parties, and as firmly fixed at the
Monroe doctrine. It is a policy based
upon the general welfare, upon the
principle of protection to American la
bor, and upon the doctrine ot protec
tion against noxious infection of the in
stitution which constitutes American
civilization. The basic principles ol
the pending bill were embodied in ex
isting legislation, and such additions as
have been proposed were approved by
experience and were in accord with the
decisions of the courts.
The framers of the measure had en
deavored to make it is effective at pos
sible as a restrictive measure, while
set-ping steadily in view all necessary
ueans of protection against fraud. An
effort has been made to liberalize these)
provisions relating to the exempted
lasses. No radical departure was pro
posed from the statutes now in opera
tion, the bill being a virtual codifies-
ion of the existing laws and regulations
concerning the admission to this coun
try of Chinese persons. The aim of the
framers was carefully to avoid anything
which might give just cause for offense
to the Chinese empire, and to an ex
tent, at least, it was a more liberal
measure, so far as the exempted elate
were concerned, than that which it new
on the statute books.
COLOMBIAN REBELS LOST.

Panama, Colombia, April 7. This

from Canca, announcing the approach
ing departure of 8,000 men from that
department, to begin operations against
the Literal general, Hen-era, who will
be attacked by 10,000 government sol
diers.. Should Herrera attack Panama,

lie stormed, except by a very numerous
army, which the Liberal! do not poet-ess.
