TWENTY=FIRST YI They Pass the Substitute for the House Exclusion Bill by a Large Majority. CLOSING THE GATES [FOR TEN YEARS Text of the Bill Passed by the Senate—Per- sonal Matters in the House—Reed and Crisp Engage in & Wordy War, Wasmixaroy, D, C., April 25, ~Numerous protests, principally from Seventh Day Ad ventists, urging cougress not to commit itsolf to any religious creed by urging that ths Columbian exposition bs closed on Sundays anud two remonstrances from Massachusett against the passage of the Chineso exclusion bill, were recelved and read. Chinese Exclusion BilL The Chinese exclusion bill then came up, and the pending question being the adontion of the substitute reported by tho committee on foreign relutions, Squire proceeded to arcuo in favor of the house bill or some other vigorous measure, It was very doubtful (he theught) that the house bill would pass, and Lo would vote for the amendiment, beheving that to be the quickest way of arriving at o re-enactment of tho cxisting law. Buthe also believed that there should bo engrafted on it a provision for the registration of Chineso and for tho issue of certificates cou- taining pnotographs. Mr. Mitchell said much as he regretted to antagonize tho deliberate judgment of the committee on forcign relations, “he felt im- pelled by & seuse of duty to vote against the substitute reported by that committeo and in favor of the principles of absolute Chinese exclusion, fis expressed in the house bill, Ho was not, however, inspired witn ereat hone that anything he might bo able to say at this time would be potential in presenting the ndoption of the substitute. Nobody should suppose that he was tulking with a bope of defeating the committee’s substitute, He knew that it would bo adopted by an over- whelming majority. Passed by a Big Majority. The discussion was continued until 4 ©o'clock, when the vote was taken on the sub- stituto’ reported from the committeo on for- cign relatious for the house bill, and the sub- stiture was agreed to—Yea: nays, 14. The following is the vote in dotail: ~ Yeas —Messrs, Allison, Bate, Berry, Brice, Butler, Cali, Carey, Carlisle, Cockrell, Coke, Colquitt, Cullom, 'Dawes, ' Dawson,” Frye, rinan, Gray, Hansbrough, Higgius, I cock, Kyle, Jonus (Ark.): McMillan, Me Pherson, Manderson, Morgan, Paddock, Palmer, Peffer, Perkins, Pettigrew, Platt, Proctor, Pugh, Ransom, 'Sawyer, Sherman, s, Stockbridze, Vest, Vilas, Walthail ashbiien -4, Nays—Messes.

Mr. Platt moved to amend the substitute £0 as 10 exclude from the anti-Chinese laws, 10 be extended for ten yeuts, the Scott oxclu- sion act of 1888, und made a brief argument in support of the amendment. Mr. Sherman said that he was not welined to vote for the amendment, though he de- clared t tho Scott law was one of the most vicious laws that had veen passed since he had been in congress. Its passage, he said, wos the result of a mere race between tho two political parties to tev.and influenco tho vote of the Pacific coast 10 the last presi- dentl election. Mr. Platt’s amendment was rejected—yeas, 8; nays, 45, Tho aflivinative votes wero given by Mossrs. Bate, Blodgett, Call, Dawes, Dixon, 1'rye, Platt and Pugh. Chandler and Felton Offer Amendments. Mr. Chandler offered an amendment in- creasing the penalty for the unlawful coming of Chineso laborers, Rejected without a di- vision, Mr. Felion offered an_amendment, requir- Ing nil Chinose residents (except diplomatic and othor oflicers and their body and house- hold servants) to obtain (within ono year) from the collector of intornal revenue in'their respective districts, certiheates of residence, and appropriating §100,000 to carry out that provision, After discussion Mr. I'clton’s amendment was rojected. ‘Tho bill as amonded then passed without a division and tho titlo was amended so as to read Persons Iuto the United States,” A conforonco with tne houso was asked and Messes.

Wanumaker Testifies, Postmaster General Wanamaker was the Hrst witness, Chairman Andrew briefly re- viewed the purpose of the investigation, stating that twenty-one of the ofticials violat- ing the law wore in the Baltimore postoMce, He asked if any of these persons were still in oftice or bad been indicted.

He said that the postmaster asserted that an injustice had been done the ofice holders in Mr. Roose- velUs report, and wituess thercupon ordercd au mvestigation by the postoflice inspectors, vho reported It is our opinion that the facts do not justify the dismissal of the em- ployes or any one of them for the violation of he civil service laws as charged.” The em- ployes in tho case, said the witness, wero poor men, soldiers and sons of soldiers, and the amount of their contributions was not much larger than the sum that would beg re- quired to pay for printing the report of the civil service cominisson, Mr, Boatner, a member of the committee, asked if there was uny law authorizing the investigation by the inspectors.

I'tom tho appearance of the lobbies of the hotels a stranger would think that the hospitality of the city was already severcly taxed, but ap- pearances are deceptive. Arrangements are made to caro for all comers and the homes of the citizens will be thrown wide open tomor- row and Wednesd Delegates began arriving this morning and at 10 o'clock tonight fully 100 are on hand, whilo nearly all the delegates for the Sixth district convention, to be held tomorrow evening, are already here. T'he political skirmishers have already been thrown out. but the liues of battlo are not yet formed. That thero will bo a struggle nc one hero seems to doubt, Brad Slaughter camo in tonight and startea what he hopes will vrove a boom for L. D. Richaras for delogate-at-large. But ho does not appear over sanguine. Before leaving Omata he telegraphed ahead to his fuglers along the line to meet him at the station. At Fremont Richards was on hand with J. H. Agor and a hurried consultation was held. Brad assuved the Iromont man that ever thing was all 1ight, but he advised him to wait over and come up tomorrow with the crowd, and pul in his best licks, Ager ac- companied Brad to help work the advance guard, Brad has it all planned out to name as three of the big four, Richaras, Cobb and Webster. He hasn't decided on tho fourth man yet. Tho delezates on the ground, however, are mostly fi the westeru part of the state, and they sav Brad’s slate must be smashed or there wili be arow. They say they must have a wan from the northivest and one from the south- west. They concede that Douglas and Lan- caster counties aro entitled to a delegate euch, but they don’t propose to give tho east- ern part of tho state three delegatos. J. L. Keck of Kearnoy is rusthug hard for the honov of being delegate-at-largo from the big Sixth and is hopeful of success. e s he has the backing of his district in spite of tho personal fight made on him by M. A. Brown of the Kearney Hub. Everybody is waiting for thearrival of the Douglas and Lancaster delegations before making predictions or combinations. ‘Tho Sixth district delegate convention will boheld at 2 o'clock tomorrow afterncon. The district committee could find o suit able place for holding the convention, but finally a call was made on Judge Holcomb who agreed to sdjourn court and give tho convention the court room, Tho judge is an alliance man, but as he formerly afilliated with the republicaus he hadn’t the heart to deprive his old party of a suitable convention hail. W. H. Conger of Loup City and I, L. Warrington of Lexington are said to be slated for district delegates. The name of James Whitehead of the Broken Bow land oftice was mentioned, bat he refused to stand for the. place. x-Governor Thayer will ba on hand to- morrow with the Lancaster men and it is sgid will use his intluence for Cobb, who claims to have over 100 deiegates pledged to his_support. F. M. Darrington was among tho early arrivals and is pulling the strings in the i- terosis of his candidacy for congress. W. Heist of Sidnoy has a delezation at work ond hoves to suficiently stir up the senti- ment against threo delegates frow the cast- ern part of the stute losecure nis being named as oue of the four.
