CHINESE EXCLUSION
BILL MODIFIED
The Measure OriQlnallu Framed
bu Pacific Coast Senators
Meets Defeat.
PLATT AMENDMENT
IS SUBSTITUTED
Vote by Which the Substitute Took
the Place of the Original Bill Was
48 to 33 Once the Substitution
Was Made, All Senators Save Mr.
Hoar Joined in Its Support The
Vote on Substitute, 76 to 1 Var
ious Substitutes That Were De
feated. y Inclusive Wire from The Associated Press.
Washington, April 16. The drastic
Chinese ' exclusion bill originally
framedVby the scnutors and ropresen
tatlyes from the Pacific coast states.
"tiitt defeat In the senate today, and in
lfj plate was substituted a measure
offered by Mr. Piatt, of Connecticut,
extending the provisions of the pres
ent exclusion law und also applying
jjiat exclusion to all insular territory
under the Jurisdiction of the United
States.
The vote by which the substitute
took the place of the original bill was,
48 ycus to S3 nays. Once the substitu
tion had been made, all senators
joined in its support, with the single
exception of Sir. Hoar, the substitute
being passed, 76 to 1.
The friends of the substitute showed
their strength throughout the voting
on amendments that preceded llnal ac
tion, and succeeded in preventing any
material change in its features. Some
minor changes were made, admitting
C'dneso persons connected with na
tional expositions, and providing for
i certificates of identification of Chinese
ln6ur insular possessions. Otherwise,
however, the substitute was adopted
Substantially in the form that air.
Piatt presented it.
The senate, after disposition of the
Chinese exclusion bill, made the Philip
pine civil government bill the unfin
ished business.
I The senate failed to substitute the
enacting clause of the house bill for
, .the senate measure, so that the bill
'now will go to the house as an origi
nal measure, and, from a parliamentary
standpoint will have to be acted upon
and treated the same as though the
house had not passed a Chinese exclu
sion bill already.
Mr. Quay's Proposed Amendment.
After the disposition of some other
amendments, Mr. Quay proposed an
amendment that the exclusion shull not
apply to "Chinese Christians or Chinese
who assisted in the defense or relief of
the foreign legations of the Pe Tang
cathedral in Peltln In 1900."
In explaining the amendment, Mr.
Quay paid a tribute to the Christian
religion as the basis of civilization.
Several senators spoke against the
amendment on the ground that It would
lead to evasion of the law.
Mr. Dolllver, (Iowa) referred In glow
ing terms to the heroism of Minister
and Mrs. Conger, residents of Iowa,
during the siege of Pekln, and ho ex
pressed the belief that some adequate
recognition should be given by this
government to those who aided the
American legationers during those days
of peril.
That part of Mr. Quay's amendment
admitting Chinese Christians was lost
without division and on an aye and
nay vote the admission of Chinese
soldiers who assisted Americans dur
ing the siege of Pekln was defeated, 7
to 68. Those who voted for the amend
ment were Messrs, Burton, Dolllver,
Hoar. Piatt (New York); Proctor, Quay
and Vest.
The Piatt amendment which was
adopted as a substitute for the cut lie
bill is as follows, except, wheie changed

PHILIPPINES TARIFF
AROUSES PROTESTS
Not Only the British but the Ger
man Government Has Lodg
ed Complaint.
'iy ETclualve Wire from The Associated Press.
"Washington, April 1G. Not only the
British but the German government
has lodged a strong protest with the
state department against the applica
tion of that part of the Philippine tariff
act 'recently enacted and just ordered
Into operation which authorizes the re
bate of a portion of the export duties
on Philippine products when Imported
Into the United Stales. Tho greater
matter of complaint Is hemp, which Is
Imported Into England and Germany
in vast quantities from Manila. The
rebate afforded to American Importers
will amount It Is alleged, to a difference
of 3-S of a cent a pound In favor of the
American rope maker, a discrimination
which will practically destroy tho
British and German trade according to
the protestnnts.
These protests have been referred to
the war department which is at present
In control of the Philippines, and the
officials arc puzzled as to their disposi
tion. As the rebate provision Is part
of the law of the land It Is probable
the protestants must find their belief
in the courts, just as the Russian sugar
producers are now trying to do.
THE BRITISH
PEACE TERMS
Their Broad Lines Are Now
Well Understood in
Pretoria.
By K.iclusii e Wire from The Associated Press.
London, April US. The Associated
Press has excellent authority for say
ing that up to a fate hour tonight there
have been no definite developments in
the matter of the pence negotiations.
The Associated Press learns Una Lord
Mllner, the British high commissioner
In South Africa has defined certain
propositions on which peace may al
most immediately be secured but the
cabinet at Its meeting today Is said to
have disagreed Upon the met its of Lord
Milner's terms.
"Sparring for time," best describes
the present status of the negotiations
either side being willing to risk a de
cision which would break oft the pres
ent conference. An agreement may be
reached at any moment but this would
mote likely be the result of se.ml-lnde-pendent
action by Lord Mllner and
Lord Kttclmcr at Pretoria, than of the
rather involved conditional decisions of
the cabinet at London.
The broad lines ot Great Britain's
terms ate now known to the govern
ment representatives nl Pretotla and
on these representatives the cabinet
Is apparently shifting the responsibility
of taking advantage of nil opportunities
provided no cardinal principles lie sac
rificed. The government lias ordered the cable
and telegraph . lines between London
and Pretoria to be kept clear to In
sure the prompt transmission of Lotd
Kitchener's messages.
There Is good reason to believe that
the Uoers are vigorously demanding a
representative government and that
this demand- Is opposed with equul
vigor by the British representatives.
It Is understood that the Boers
sttongly object to the long delay jno
posed by Great Britain before a repre
sentative government bo granted the
former republics n.nd that they also In
sist on the number of Boer seat In the
council being specified.
It is expected that the cabinet will
re-assemble tomorrow to discuss the
matter further.

VICTORY FOR RECIPROCITY.
Friends of the Measure Are Success
ful in the House.
By Exclusive Wire from the Associated PrfM.
Washington, April 16. The-friends of
tho Cuban reciprocity bill won a sub
stantial victory In the house today by
carrying a motion to close general de
bate on Friday at 3 o'clock. The voto
was' 153 lo 123. Thirty-three Republi
cans voted against the motion, but this
defection was offset by 33 Democrats
who voted with the great body of tho
Republicans for It. The strength of tho
Republican opposition to tho bill,
judged by this vote, has decreased six
since tho vote was taken on tho mo
tion to go into committee ot the whole
to consider the bill, when the voto
stood 107 to SO.
The debate today was featureless.
The speakers were Messrs. Roberts
(Massachusetts), Patterson (Tennes
see), nnd Cochran (Missouri) for the
bllt and Messrs. Rartlett (Georgia),
Corliss (Michigan), Broussard (Louis

TROUBLES
INBELGIUM
Brussels Agitated by Dyna
mite and Debates on Re
vision of Constitution.
By Kiclus!ie Wire from The Associated Pres.
Brussels. April 16. The diplomatic,
private and public galleries of tho
chamber of representatives were filled
to their capacity today when the de
bate on the proposed revision of thn
constitution began. M. Beernaert, the
former president of the chamber, and
secretary of state, opened the discus
sion. He' was frequently Interrupted by
M. Van Der "Welde, the Socialist leader,
with shouts of "Universal suffrage is
supreme."
The promised great demonstration in
the streets after the adjournment of the
chamber dwindled to the appearance of
200 persons, who accompanied tho
Socialist deputies to the office of their
organ,. Lfe Pueple. where M. Van Der
Welde, from a window, addressed the
ciowd. He said today's proceedings in
the chamber had not modified the situ
ation and that the government was still
recalcitrant and had shifted the respon
sibility for a dissolution of parliament.
which the revisionists would demand If
tho chamber rejects the proposal to re
vise the constitution, on the king, who
tj," far had been silent.
The collapse of the propped demon
stration was traceable "to the drench
,.. .am a, nl overwhelming precautions
taken by the police, which seem to
place further serious disturbances in
Brussels out of the question.
A feeling is gaining ground that the
government will entirely reject the pro
posed revision of the constitution.
A dynamite cartridge was exploded
during the day on the railroad track
near Arlon. The explosion badly dam
aged the lailroad bridge, but traffic was
not Interiupted.
Serious disorders have occurred at
Cockerlls, in the coal fields of Seralng.
A detachment of lancers was compelled
to repeatedly charge a mob numbering
about 2,000 persons, engaging In throw
ing stones at the troops. Many people
were Injured. The cafes In which the
rioters took refuge were sacked.
This evening It was announced that
ir.0,000 men were out on strike, in the
districts or Mons, t'harlerol and Liege
alone. Many men have stopped work In
other sections of the country, but It Is
difficult to accurately estimate their
number. It Is known, however, that
3,000 men have struck at Antwetp.

OPENING OF
CONFERENCE
Sessions Are Being Presided Over
bu Blslion S. M. Merrill, the s
Senior ol the Board.
REV. J. B. SWEET WAS
s CHOSEN SECRETARY
It Is the Pifth Successive Year That
He Has Been Called Upon to Act
in That Capacity The Standing
Committees Named Part of Yes
terday Afternoon Was Devoted to
the Receipt of Report and Collec
tions, and This Was Followed by
the Memorial Services Tribute of
Rev. C. M. Giffin, D. D., to the
Late Rev. Richard Hiorns.
Special to the Fcranton Tribune.
"Wavcrly, N. Y., April 16. The an
nual session of the Wyoming confer
ence opened this morning In the church
of which Rev. J. W. Nicholson, for
merly of Rcranton, Is pastor. Bishop S.
M. Merrill Is presiding over tho confer
ence, which gives promise of being one
of great interest and profit.
Wnverly contains about BOO0 inhabit
ants. It seems that about every third
person Is a Methodist preacher or his
wife. The ministers in attendance upon
the Wyoming conference are quartered
In every section of the town and will
even be found at Sayre, Athens and
other nearby places. As the confer
ence grows in numbers, the problem of
entertaining the large body of clergy
men will become more difficult and the
smaller towns will be less eager to
have tho honor of a conference gather
ing. This was to be 'Carbondale's year
as a fitting continuance of Its semi
centenlal celebration but Carbondale's
beautiful church was burned last winter
and as Waverly had invited tho session
there previously. It was selected at this
time. The first Wyoming conference
was held in Carhondale, July 7, 19W.
Bishop Scott presiding.
The church is pleasing in architecture
and attractive but t;ather small for the
vast oongtegatlon that will throng it
tills week. The pastor, Kev. J. W.
Nicholson, is among the best beloved
In the whole conference and Waverly
with its exclusive and fastidious tastes
'would scarcely exchange him for any
other.
Waverly has one paper, the Weekly
Free Press. This week it is Issuing a
dally edition which is beautifully print
ed and up to date. It contains portraits
of Bishop Merrill, Dr. Sweet and
Dr. Hard. Ilts editor, Mr. Genung
Is one of the leading men in this
church. Indeed the Methodists clulm
many of the most prominent cltlzents.
Changes in Conference.
There are changes In the Wyoming
conference to one who has looked over
the assemblage for the past five or six
years. This morning as the ministers
gathered about the communion table,
the traces of the hand of time seemed
evident indeed. The heads are whiten
ing, the steps are growing feebler, the
voices have a new note of wavering,
but close behind the faltering ones
troop new feet on tlfe floor, and young
faces with ambition and enthusiasm
flashing In the eyps, the vigor of youth
in the step, crowd after those whose
places they must take. One wonders
if, with all their modern day ad
vantages and their progressive thought
their moie fashionable clothing, they
will be more eltectlve in their work,
will comfort more hearts, more conse
crated lives and Dually, when they, ton,
come near to the end of their journey,
will they have left a record for fidelity
of service such ns follows these aged
ones. -Will they, too, bear In their faces
the marks of disappointed hopes, yet
teslgnatlon to the Inevitable unci the
mandates of a higher power, or will
llicy achieve some great ambition and
occupy thp chief places at tho head of
the church.
With the exception of Bishop Fowlqr,
who has presided twice over the con
ference, the piesldlng officers for some
years have been the aged members ot
the board of bishop. The present of
ficer Is the senior elfeetiyo one In the
boat il of bishops.
Able Xegal Mind.
Bishop H. .M. MeirlU repiesents the
ablest legal mind In the hoard. Ills
knowledge of chutch law Is supremo
among the clergy of this or any other
country, Ho Is n recognized authority
nil all ecclesiastical matteis of this
kind. In personnel, Hlslmp Merrill Is of
tho ascotli! type, tall, severe, and Just.
Ho Is absolutely fiee from the Inlluenco
of nny man on earth. Once a line of
thought Is adopted- by him, nothing can
swerve lit 111 from pursuing it. With a
superb Intellect and tho perfection of
mental training, his judgment Is gener
ally regarded as Until, Ho presides
with dignity and unfailing Justice. He
Is the author of many books of stand
