CONSIDER HIS COURSE ENTIRELY PROPER Pending Bill to Exclude Chinese Ap- parently Hinges in Senate om Clause Dealing with Sailors, WASHINGTON, April 12—A feature of the Chinesc cxclusion debate in the senate today was the sharp criticisin of Minister Wu of China because of his protest made to the secretary of state against the enact- ment of the pending bill. Mr. Mitchell of Oregon and Mr. Teller of Colorado sharply attacked him, declaring that he deserved to have been given his passports and that po self-respecting nation would have per- mitted such Interference in its legislative ¥ affairs. Myr. Féraker of Ohlo and Mr. Hoar of Massachusetts insisted that the Chinese minister had dope no more than hig duty end thgt he would have been derelict of his @uty had he done less, Mr. Lodge of Massachusetts delivered a Bpeech in support of the pending biil, a though he antagonized that provision which prevented American ships from employing Chinese seamen. He vigorously urged the enactment of the measure with the modi- fications he suggested, maintaining that congress should place permanent and not merely tentative legislation on the statute book. Conference Report Approved. e Mr. Mason of Ilinols presentedl the con- $erence report on the postoffice appropria- tion bill and it was agreed to. A bill authorizing the Burlington & Quincy Railroiid and Bridge company to re- ulld the draw span of its bridge across the ississippl at Quincy, Ill, was pa Consideration of the Chinese exclusion blll was then resumed, Mr. Vest of Mis- P pour{ briefly addressing the senate in op- , position with some features of the m: He sympathized with what had been in opposition to the admission of Chinese. “I think,” said he, “that any immigration s undersirable when it brings into this (| country people who want all the brivileges of this country without participating in any of the responsibilities.” Mr. Vest insisted that the inhabitants of the Philippine lslands were citizens of the United Stat. Passing from the Chinese quesiion, Mr. Vest regrotted exceedingly that sectional feeling had been injected Inio the debate yesterday. He had hoped such debate never again would be heard in the senate. He payed a tribute to Lincoln, Garfleld and McKinley and sald the people of the south were sincere mourners at the blers of all. The people of the north, he i wald, should remember that the south had produced great and patriotio leaders and among them he mentioned General Wash- ington and Robert E. Lee. He sald he never should cease to feel kindly toward President Roosevelt, who in the broadest spirit of etatesmanship had eulogized Rob- ert E. Lee. Tribute to Wade Hampton. Mr. Vest adverted with deep feellng to the death of Hon. Wade Hampton. In the oourse of a brilliant tribute to Wade FHampton Mr. Ve 1d he was the highest type of a Christian gentleman, whose mem- ory would live for centuries. In support of the pending bill Mr. Lodge of Massachusetts made a somewhat ex- tended speech, although there were some provisions of the measure to which he was opposed. 24 Mr. Lodge &trongly antagonized that pro- wision of the bill which excludes Chinese 4f¥om employment on American ships. The Mction of that provision, he sald, would put every American vessel on the Pacific coast fn an absolutely hopeless position. He de- clared that it would drive every American ship on the Pacific coast under a foreign fag and send every foreign ship into Van- ciuver. He urged that there were mnot poough American seanivn on the Pacific voast to meet the requirements of the bill #nd he pointed out that the provision in the measure would not disturb our trade rel tions with China. Geary Act is Wanted, Mr. Hanna of Ohio interrupted to read a Relegram from the president of the Mer- chants’ exchange and the president of the Chamber of Commerce of San Francisco and #everal other prominent San Francisco bus- Iness 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 United States. *“While I am on my feet,” sald Mr. Hanna, I will present an antidote to that dispatch. It is & telegram from the Bartenders' union in support of the pending bill." Mr. Frye of Malne explained that as president pro tempore he frequently re- ceived dispatches and letters bearing upon legislation proposed. He read several dis- patches from men of San Francisco ex- pressing the hope that the pending bill would not pass because it was too drastie in its provisions; becauso It would Inter- fere with our trade with China, and in. sisting upon the re-enactment of the Geary wct, which, they sald, would protect amply American Interests and American labor. Geary Favo, ate B Mr. Mitchell of Oregon Lad read a tele- gram from Thomas J. Geary, author of the existing exclusion law, directing that noths ing short of the semate bill would exclude effectually Chinese laborers and protect American labor, Mr. Mitchell criticlsed the Chinese min. fster for a letter he bad written to the secretary of state protesting ageinst the enactment of the bill. Mr. Mitchell said the letter was a gross violation of the min~ fster's duty and had such a document been written by the ambassador of Great Britain, France or Germany be would have recelvea bis passports within twenty-four hours. Mr. Hoar of Massachusetts took eharp ssue with Mr. Mitchell, maiutalning the mivister bad ample authority under the treaty to make his protest to the see- retary of state.

(Copyright, 1902, by Press Publishing Co.) PARIS, April 12.—(New York World Ca- blegram—Special Telegram.)—Young Spen- cer Eddy has risen greatly in the esteem of fashionable society here since it became known that he had been invited by Grand Duke Michael and his wife, Countess Torby, to spend a fortnight at their villa at Cannes. When Mr. Eddy was second secre- tary of the American embassy here Paris soclety considered him merely an agreeable person, sort of a harmless lady's man and awfully useful to run errands and find the proper shop for a certain article, or to go to select theater tickets. But since he has been transterred to Constantinople and be- come the secretary of the American lega- tion there he has grown in importance. Countess Torby's indorsement of him is said to foreshadow a sensational match with a Russian woman moving very near the czarina in the St. Petersburg court. According to rumor, Mr. Eddy met that mysterious young princess in Cannes last soason and she fell insanely in love with the American diplomat at first sight. Be. ing & special pet of Grand Duke Michael, she appealed to his wife to remove the tormidable obstacles of the union of a lady of the Russian court with an Amerfean citizen. LONG CHANCE FOR LIBERTY Turkish Girl Ew and Swim es from Havem n Ameri- to can Yacht. (Copyright, 192, by Press Publishing Co.) PARIS, April 12.—(New York World Ca- blegram—Special Telegram.)—The Amerl- can yacht Wanderer, which has just reached Constantinople with a party, including its owner, Mrs. Marster, Miss Robinson, Mr. and Mrs. Storey and Mr. Blagdon, has been drydocked for cleaning. A member of the party writes to the World corre- spondent this strange story: On leaving Hudania, on the south shore of the Sea of Marmo a few days back, the yacht stopped outside the harbor to leave the pilot, when those on board saw a human being swimming toward the boat from the land, but so far out that it seemed fncredible that any one could be capable of such endurance. The yacht waited and soon the passengers were able to perceive that the swimmer was a native girl, who was followed by'a dog. A boat was launched and picked up the girl and dog, both utterly exhausted. The girl explained through the pilot, who alone understood her language, that she haa escaped from a harem of a resident of Broussa, and that the falthful canine had followed her. ‘The yacht then proceeded, tdking along the girl. Her name is Leyla. She is 17 yeers old and seems bright. She will be taken to America for education.

QUEER PAIRING OFF OF THE PEERESSES Former “ ayety” Girls and Those of the Bluest Blood Slated to March Together at Coronation Ceremonies, (Copyright, 142, by Press Publishing Co.) LONDON, April 12.—(New York World Cablegram—Special Telegram.)—Among the Americans to whom Loudon society 1s look- ing to do some big entertaining during the coronation season are Mrs. Mackay, who intends to give a splendid concert with Melba, and Special Ambassador and Mrs Whitelaw Reld, who are credited with con- templating a grand reception and some din- ner partles in Brook house. The Bradley-Martine have done hardly any entertaining in London up to now, and some curiosity is felt as to whether they will come out on «n appropriate scale this season. The Cavendish-Bentik class are expected to entertain on a lavish scale through the summer. One of the biggest of their par- tles s to be a monster cotillion, with every figure a novelty, and charming gifts for favors. They always have given large dinners, to which their home is specially adapted. The rooms all branch out from the hall and thirty-five people can be seated comfortably in the dining room. Grave apprehension prevails that the gorgeousness of Londou's coronation season has been overboomed. Up to now there is “nothing doing.” London has not been so empty and dull for many springs as this April. Nearly all the leading soclety peo- ple have gone to Paris or the Riviera and are not expected until the middle of May. ‘There are vague rumors in the soclety papers of magnificent entertalnments, but no corroboration of these projects is forth- coming from the personages indicated as contemplating them. Disappoints the Ho Aments. The house agents’ books continue over- loaded with aristocratic mansions for which no offer is obtainable, Thé exorbitant charges by hotel proprie- tors for the coronation fortnight are fright- ening off their regular clients and nome others are coming forward to take their places. Worst of all, the anticipated rush of American millionaires, on which so much depends, shows no sign of setting in. As the king will reside at Windsor during the summer, soclety people who calculate on letting their town mansions are snap- ping up all the Riverside residences in the Windsor district. They all have motors now and look forward to “‘doing™ the coro- nation season from the Riverside without sleeping in Lomdon’s stuffy atmosphere. Doubtless there will be brilliant galeties when the forelgn royalties come, but every- one arg! that the season will be excep- tionally’short and soclety looks to the king to provide most of the magnificence. John 8. Sargent’s portrait of the duchesa of Portland Is to be the sensation of the forthcoming Academy exhibition. It is re- garded as his most perfectly beautiful work. Then he has also a full length por- trait of Lord Ribblesdale, a figure curiously picturesque, even In modern dress. Besides he has pictures of the three daughters of the earl of Gosford, two being so vividly portrayed open-mouthed that one expects to hear them speak. Finally he has the portrait of two or more of the Misses Wertheimer, as striking as last year's work. Peereases Oddly Mated. Some of the peeresses are debating whether or not to attend the coronation owing to the way they would be paired according to precedence. For instance, the marchioness of Headford, Rosle Boote of “Gayety” fame, would go with the marchioness of Bath, a Christian Scientist, and the very cream of exclusiveness, The countess of Orkney, Connle Gllchrist, also from the “Gayety’’ boards, would be linked with the countess of Seaford, & rigid Pres- byterian, and very devotional. The countess of Clancarty, better known under varlous trying circumstances as Belle Bilton, is entitled to foot it with the countess of Erroll, a woman of Norman lineage, and among the proudest of Great Britain's aristocrats. Every duly wedded peeress, whether she has been presented at court or not, is entitled to attend the coronation, and these three ennobled ex- soubrettes have all applied for cards. Each peeress Is allowed only a sixteen-inch seat In Westminster Abbey, two inches less than at Queen Victoria's coronation. So speculation Is rife as to how some of the larger ones will squeeze into that place. LIBELS EMPEROR OF AUSTRIA German Editor to Be Tried ing a Story that He Wo Abdicate.

(Copyright, 192, by Press Publishing Co.) ST. PETERSBURG, April 12.—(New York World Cablegram—Special ~ Telegram.)— More light is sadly needed on the mys- terious arrest of Ceunt Wiclopelski and his two beautiful young sisters at the Russian frontier on their way from the Riviera to Warsaw. Both of the girls are well known in tho Polish aristocratic circles of Warsaw and Moscow. The count was a great friend of the governor general of Poland and, mors important still, the Grand Duke Sergius of Moscow, the present czar's uncle. Arriving at the frontler, he was directed by a gendarme to follow him into a private room, where he was told he must remain & prisoner until the gendarmerio captain came. The captain presently arrived and told the count he regretted it, but he should have to search him. Wiclopelski objected and the captain telegraphed to St. Peters- burg for instructions. The reply from St. Petersberg was: “Search him at all haz- ards.” He was searched and compromising documents were found on him, among them several “apneals” written by the Russian revolutionary party abroad to their com- patriots at home calling on them to agitate for the repeal of various obnoxious laws and for the reform of the government. The young count (he is only 26) was de- tained at the frontier all that day and at night he and his sisters were removed in a special train to Warsaw, where they were driven at once to the citadel, or prison for political offenders.

ST, PETERSBURG, April 12.—(New York World Cablegram—Special Telegram.)— Travel on the Great Siberian raillway still ‘has many drawbacks, but one of the great- est is the discomfort to which third-class passengers, especlally native Chinese, are subjected. The winter has been unusually severe this year, vet the rolling stock is 80 inadequate that the Chinese ride in open freight cars. 1In January and February, when the thermometer registers from 30 to 50 degrees below the freezing point, the Chinese sat in crowds In the open cars and frequently froze to death. On one terrible night in February fifteen Chinese perished and about 150 others suffered ter- ribly from frostbites and exposure.

CANNOT STAND PRINCE HENRY'S GAIT General Bigge, His Private Seeretary, Will Have Charge of All Ar- rangements During the Prince’s Tour. (Copyright, 1902, by Press Publishing (%o.) LONDON, Aprili 12.—(New York World decision on the New York Chamber of Commerce Invitation to the prince of Wales to attend the dedication of its new home awaits King Edward's return from his Eas- ter hollday cruise, it evidently is believed in court circles that the probabilities in- cline toward its acceptance. Already thoso persons who are directly interested in it are eagerly discussing the probable arrange- ments for the visit. In such cases the prince places himself absolutely at the disposal of the king, who is guided in his decision by comsiderations of public policy. The possibility of the princess of Walee the account. It is thought likely that the king will be largely influenced in deciding by the advice of leading Americans in London soclety. It Is considered certain that Mrs. Arthur E. Paget (daughter of Paran Stevens of New York), will be consulted, as well as Secre- tary White of the United States embassy, in his private capacity. Mr. White has been persona grata with King Edward for maoy years. Prince Sticks to Aristocrats. The prince of Wales has no intimate friends in the Anglo-American set. In- deed, it may be said genefally that his friends are not the king's friends. He does not cultivate millionaires, but has his rather look down on the ‘“Marlborough house set” as money worshipers and notoriety hunters. The prince is extremely quiet and un- demonstrative, in truth he is rather shy and has none of the sailor-like bluffness which carried Prince Henry of Prussia so far. But he has a good deal of his fath- er’s tact, and under the tutelage of General Bigge, his private secretary, he always does the correct thing. In court circles it is almost assumed that it the prince goes to New York he will go in a semi-private capacity, for it he should go as the official representative of King Edward there would arise many awkward questions of precedence and etl- quet which it would be desirable to obviate. The king appreciates quite as well as the kaiser does that the formalities deemed essential In a monarchy are better dis- pensed with in democratic countries. If the prince went for the king's alter ego (other self) he would be entitled to be treated as a king himself, taking preced- ence of everybody but the president of the United States, in private as well as in public functions. Consequently he would be much hampered in his movements. But by going simply as a distinguished guest etiquet could be made elastic enough to suit each occasion, hard and fast rules being dispensed with. Not So Strong as Prince Henry. One thing is certain. The prince could never think of facing the personal strain Prince Henry underwent. His health s not robust and he surely would collapse if he attempted any such feat of endurance. It is suggested that an easy and graceful way of treating the invitation would be for the prince to ge' command of the newest battleship and, accompanied by two cruls- ers, cross to New York. In this ecapacity he would simply be a naval officer and would secure rest and privacy by residing aboard his own ship. Anyway, It is not thought that the Ger- man precedent in crossing In an ocean liner would be followed, as such a method of approaching the United States is held to be pecullarly unfitting in a representa- tive of the greatest naval power in the world. It is probable that this scheme may be adopted if a visit s found to be possible. The prince’'s suite would be small, con- sisting only of six members. These would be two gentlemen-ln-waiting, Iincluding Hon. Derek W. Keppel, & naval and mili- tary attache, General Sir Arthur Bigge, zie Wallace, the prince's historiographer, Bigge the Factot All arrangemeuts would be made by Gen- eral Bigge, who is a marvel of industry, courtesy and soclal cleverness. All invita- tions to the prince would be forwarded through General Bigge, who would submit the arrangements for the prince's approval. In England it is customary to royalties to get beforehand a list of persons it is proposed to invite. In the case of the king the menu is submitted for his gastronomic sanction, but that privilege is not insisted on by the prince, who is no gourmet. The prince is always addressed as “Sir,” not as our Royal Highness.” No seats himself or herself so long as the prince remains standing. When he rises all rise. He is just t a stickler for etiquet as is King Edward and Is not en- dowed with his father's gentle temper. However simply he might go to New York, the Chamber of Commerce would be surprised and perhaps a little appalled at the amount of correspondence it would have with the prince’s secretary and the quantity of detalled Information about ar- rangements it must supply In advance The prince always wears a naval uniform on public occasions and would do so in New York. As the heir apparent his status is differ- . of course, from Prince Henry's, and H Iy would be more ceremoni { ous, but the feeling here s that the formal- itles should be reduced to the minimum.

DETROIT, Mich., April 12.—The only new developments today in the Heywood murder case was an admiseon by Mrs. Heywood that she had been intimate with William M. Jones, the roomer in Heywood's house, who is under arrest on suspicion of killing her husband. She eays that he had an in- fluence over her which ehe never could un- derstand. “I am just beginning to come out of the spells he cast over me,” sald she. When Jones was first arrested Mrs. Heywood in- sisted that he did not leave the house the night Mr. Heywood was murdered, and de- clared that she did not believe it was he who first shot her husband and then crushed his skull with some blunt instru- ment-—probably a hammer. Today, how- ever, Mrs. Heywood says that she agrees with the theory of the police that Jones stole out of the house about 3 o'clock on Thureday morning and committed the mur- der. Tonlght Mrs. Heywood is sick in bed under the care of a physiclan. The police say they are convinced that she known nothing of the murder. Jones was In the “sweatbox” again this afternoon, but nothing was gleaned from him by the officers. He is cooler, if any- thing, than when he was first arrested. The police maintain that Mrs. Heywood's ad- mission today of the Illicit relations she had with Jones furnishes a double excuse for him to destroy Heywood. He probably wanted, they say, to marry Mrs. Heywood and ‘leo to secure the $10,000 lite insurance which Mr. Heywood carried, and his prop- | erty, worth about $10,000 mors. — TROUBLE OVER THE BOYCOTT Packers Say They Will Buy from Own- ers if Commission Men Refuse, KANSAS CITY, April 12.—The stock yards boycott, declared yesterday by members of the Live Stock exchange, because of an obnoxlous rule adopted by the stock yards company, was still in force today.

DATE OF AUTONOMY IMPORTANT MATTER Hardest Point for :.lnml to Concede satd He Granting of Amnesty to the Cape Rebels, (Copyright, 1902, by Press Publishing Co) LONDON, April 12.—(New York World Cablegram—Special Telegram.)—The {m- pression that peace is impending still pre- valls Lere, though In ministerial quarters it Is positively assured that there Is no justi- fication for optimism, The anxiety, therefore, for peace is at- tested by the extraordinary publle Interest in today's cabiuet meeting and by the fact that both Colonlal Secretary Chamberlain and Chancellor of the Exchequer Hicks- Beach, looking very il left sick rooms to attend it. The World correspondent learns that Lord Kitchener has asked for instructions on three polnts, which he had reason to an- ticipate that the Boers would raise, namely: Amnesty for colonial rebels. A definite undertaking as to the period within which self-government would be accorded to the Boers. Repatriation of prisoners of war. The Boers, it is said, will consider no quali- fled or elastic undertaking on these poiats, even If they forego their demand for ln- desendence. From The Hague comes a report that the most the Boers will consent to y! Is British sovereignty over the land, and that It England declines this they will fight on, The mere fact that the Boer leaders con- sented fo confer under British safe cenduct has been accepted by the jingoes as con- clusive evidence of weakening. This Is shown by the contemptuous tone in which the Timos editorially treats them. But Lord Kitchener is better able to Jjudge the value of securing peace from such Indomitable foes, and now, as on former occaslons, all his influence is thrown into the scale in favor of the most liberal terms obtainable from the imperial government. A gregt parade was made today by way of demonstrating the wonderful resources of the War office of alleged plans for send- Ing 21,000 more reinforcements. But this could only be done by dangerously deplel ing the home garrison. Peace Within a Distance, LONDON, April 12.—"Peace 1is within measurable distanc, That probably sums up the present crop of rumors, conjectures and deductions which has Great Britain by the ears. “Is it peace?” meets the eyes in flowing posters of newspapers, and the question is echoed throughout the United Kingdom. As pointed out in these dis- patches Monday, and confirmed by Mr. Bal- four, government leader in the House of Commons, the reporis of the end of a con- fiict of guch length, invelving so many I ing and intricate lssues, being arrived at practically without any time being devotea to negotiating, are palpably premature. It fs announced that the ministers at to- day's meeting, which lasted an hour, d cussed a communication from Lord Kitch- ener. This is quite within reason, and gov- ernment circles expect several similar mes- sages from Lord Kitchener before anything defipite can be announced. While Lord Kitchener's message may have been of vital importance, the Associated Press has good reasons to belleve that the sudden sum- mons of the cabinet ministers was due to a desire to decide whether or not the pre- sentation of the budget could be postponed until the Kilerksdorp negotiations are tled one way or the other. Criticlam Is Certatn, Whatever the proposals of the chancellor of the exchequer, Sir Michael Hicks-Beach may be, they are bound to be greeted by storms of criticism from various quarwers Peace will not modify the crying need of additional revenue, but it would take off the sting from the additional taxation, which is bound to ralse a protest from every class or industry cffected. In the mational jubllation over the end of the war, these protests would be lost to sight. It would be no surprise if it is announced on Monday that the budget announce t has again been postponed, and if this d not take place Parllamentary ecircles will regard it as one of the best omens that the government practically is assured of a suc« cessful termination of the Klerkadorp con- terence. The cabinet council today, while it prob- ably did not fulfiil the sensationally at- tributed function of deciding between peace or war, undoubtedly reviewed the entire situation, both as regards home flnance and the situation in South Africa. Degree of Credibility. How complicated and impossible of of hand solution is the latter question, can be judged by an apparently authentic state- ment published in the Edinburgh Evening News this afternoon. The news, whoss editor is in close touch with Mr. Kruger, de clares that the Boers are prepared to cept the following conditions: They will make absolute independemce a& cardinal feature, if they come to a satisfactory agreement as to future inter- nal. The banishment and confiscation of property proclamation must be cancelled and conQ':caud property must be restored to its owhers with remuneration for private stock and property destroyed or takem by the British. Full recognition of state debts contracted before and after hostili- ties and up to the date of the annexaflon proclamation issued by Lord Roberts. The language question is to be mutually agreed upon. The release of all political prisoners. A date to be fixed when all prisoners of war will be retursed to South The officers of one or two friendly to be accepted to superintend the Of these the cardinal point and the hard- est for Great Britaln to concede Is the granting of amnesty to thé cape rebels, not so much because of British opposition, but owing to colonial opposition in Beuth Af- rica itself. While there is no reason to not a semi-oficial %' demand, there is reason to think they may be modified. How wtrongly the government shares that bope may be judged from the fact that Loudon police officials were ordered today to keep especlally large forces on dutly
