Declares That It Gives All We Wailt Except as fo Sailor Clause. WASHINGTON, April 17.—The members of the House who have been chiefly in- terested in the Chinese exclusion, after formal conferences to-day, decided to ac- cept the Senate substitute adopted yester- ay continuing in force the present laws and applying them to our Insular posses- sions. Representative Kahn of California, who introduced the drastic exclusion bill in the House, and Representative Coombs of California, who alded in perfecting it, both expressed the view that the Senate | measure should be acceptcd as the best measure obtainable within the few days remaining before the Geary law expires by limitation. This view was made kipwn to Representative Perkins of New York, who reported the House exclusion bill from the Foreign Affairs Committee, and an informal understanding was reached that If the California members were wiil- ing to accept the Senate substitute this course undoubtedly would be taken by the committee and the House. “The Senate substitute as finally amended, really gives us all we want ex- cept in omitting the saflors’ clause,” said Kahn, “and it is much more drastic than is generally understood. It goes much fur- ther than the original Platt substitute and y re-enacting the present law and the aw of 1888, extending them to our island | possessions and continuing these laws in'| { definitely, we get almost If not quite as much a& we did by the original bill. But in any event, as the present exclusion law runs out on May 5, it would be desirable to accept the Senate substitute, for if we were a single day without an exclusion law, thousands of Chinamen would cross the border from Canada.” At the conclusion of Morgan's speech in the Senate to-day, Platt of Connecti- cut called up the Chinese exclusion bill passed b% the House. He then moved that all after the enacting clause,of the bill be stricken out and that the measure, as passed by the Senate yesterday, be sub- without comment. This action on the part of the Senate was necessary in or- | der to facilitate consideration of the meas- ure in the Hou SECRETARY ROOT MAKES PEACE WITH THE SENATE Relieves General Crozier and Captain Lewis From Board of Ordnance and Fortifications. WASHINGTON, April Root, before leaving for Cuba yesterday, made an order relleving General Crozier and Captain I. N. Lewis of the Coast Ar- tillery from further duty with the board of ordnance and fortifications. It is un- derstood that this action was taken out | of deference to the Military Commiitee | of the Senats. The adverse report of the committee on the nomination of General Crozier as chief of ordnance is sald to have been largely due to the complaints of inventors having business with _the board of ordnance and fortifications. Now that the department has given heed to this objection, it is confidently said that there will be a disposition in the Senate to meet the department half way and confirm General Crozier as chief of ord- nance. Major Charles Shaller of the ordnance department, who is stationed at Indian- apolis, succeeds General Crozier as a member of the board of ordnance and aptain Harry Taylor of the engineers, stationed at Boston, succeeds Captain Lewis as recorder of the board. Captain Lewis has been or- cered to join his battery. PRESIDENT NAMES ARMY OFFICERS FOR PROMOTION He Also Selects James S. Clarkson of New York for Surveyor of Customs.

BODY OF MURDERED MAN IS FOUND BY TRAIN), CREW Remains Are Placed Near Track in the Hope of Misleading the Authorities. SALT LAKE, April 17.—A special from Ross Fork, Idaho, to the Tribune says: Horace Rich, the adopted son of Samuel Rich, a well-known citizen of Blackfoot, Idaho, was found lying alongside the track just south of Ross Fork at daylight this morning. The body was picked up and brought to this place by a train crew and later sent to Pocatello for the Coro- ner's inquest. It was at first thought Rich had been struck by a train while walking on the track, but it was learned he had a large sum of money and a gold ‘watch on his person, and this fact led the Coroner to make the investigation a thorough one. It was found that Rich’s heart, which had not been crushed or mangled in any way, had in the point of it two clean-cut holes which appeared to have been made by a knife or bullet. The tracks of a horse led to within a few feet of the railroad embankment and an in- denture in the soft dirt showed where some heavy body had been thrown to the ground. Rich was seen in Pocatello yesterday, where in paying some bills he_exhibited & large sum of gold coin, and it is be- lieved he was murdered for the money. Rich was 35 years old and unmarried. i L BURNS APPEALS MINING SUIT TO DISTRICT COURT Gives Bond for Six Hundred and Fifty Thousand Dollars Pend- ing the Hearing.

FORMER GOVERNOR JAMES H. BUDD STARTS FOR AN OUTING IN HIS HORSELESS CARRIAGE, BUT THE { THING BALKS IN THE MIDDLE OF THE STREETCAR TRACK AND HOLDS UP TRAFFIC, MUCH TO — X-GOVERNOR JAMES H. BUDD i has lost faith in automobfles. There was a time when' that dis- tinguished statesman believed it his duty as a progressive Ameri- can citizen to keep abreast of the times, but this belief was badly shattered yes- | terday when he essayed to conquer one of the horseless vehicles. He hired two chauffeurs to introduce him into the mys- teries of the steam wagon. He entered the carriage at the Palace and the ma- chine started on its way. Sad to relate. the auto did not get any farther than the middle of the street. With a few spas- modic coughs the horseless carriage balk- ed and refused to go farther. Clanging bells warned the Governor that he was Shotgun Kills Its Owner. LOS ANGELES, April 17.—Sylvester Bise, 17 years of age, was killed by the accidental discharge of a shotgun near | Cerritos yesterday afternoon.

SPOKANE, Wash., April 17.—Four masked men entered the Great Northern { section house at Mead, about ten miles north of Spokane, early this morning and impeding the progress of the Market- street railway system. Both chauffeurs hurriedly manipulated screws, valves, stop-cocks, Drakes and other adjuncts, but the maehine would not stir. In_ a few minutes there was a string of cable cars behind the wagon and a score of conductors and gripmen impatient to learn what had stopped traffic. Governor Budd is used to crowds. He has delivered addresses from buckboards and was willing to deliver an interesting talk on what he did not know of auto- mobiles to his fellow-citizens if necessary. But the opportunity was allowed to slip by. Jnstead of thrilling the assembled “rubber-necks,” the Governor sat back in his seat and listened to suggestions that were poured into the ears of the chauf- feurs. 3 held up and robbed five Japanese. They secured about $35, four watches and some clothing, the Japanese making no resist- ance. Murderer May Have Been Located.

Brady, wanted here for the murder of Bert Webb at McKittrick in the latter part of last December during a quarrel over a card game. Sheriff Borgwardt is in receipt of a_letter from Constable King C. Henley of Winslow, Ariz., stating that it is be- lieved ' that 'the, much-wanted, man is in jail at Holbrook. A photégraph was also Sent here which 1s a good likeness of the fugitive. — “Hitch a horse to it,” was suggested. “Why don’t yer feed der animal?” yelled a newsboy. “Put a fire under it and advised another. “It auto be pinched,” sald a facetious fellow, and Governor Budd looked pityingly at him. After quite a delay it dawned upon a wise gripman that the vehicle might be lifted bodily from the car track. A dozen men grabbed the auto and finally dis- locdged it. Clang went the bells, and the business of a great car system was aga:n in_operation. / Governor Budd did not continue his rida, He met some friends who had watched his unhappy plight from the curb and vowed he would stick to horses in future. One of his friends attempted to dispose ofla thoroughbred at a greatly reduced price. Foreign Office Denies the Story.

In some of the islands a system of slavery Is still extant, and in_the island of Sulu the Mohammedan religion, with its attendant institutions of polygamy and slavery, both exist.”” Dr. Pentecost said that there was no aiscrimination against the Protestant re- liglon in favor of the Roman Catholics. He said that the Government was domg all it could to protect the soldiers against drunkenness and the social evil. Dr. Pentecost expressed his “faith in the integrity of our Government and fits ability to rightly settle all these questions in course of time.” He deprecated - erit- icism of the Government. There was a_ very lively discussion on the' question of the Bible in the common schools. It was urged by all that earnest efforts should be made to put the Bible in wherever it has been put out.
