ESPECIAL TO THE SENTINEL

OF California, IN discussing the antl-CHl-
nese bill this afternoon, gave that question
a political turn. He said the matter of
anti Chinese legislation had been taken
charge of by the Republicans, and man.
aged in a close corporation style. He
complained that the Democrats from the
Pacific Coast had not been consulted as to
the needs of their constituents, and
claimed that to the Democrats belonged
| the credit of all that may have been
achieved. He insisted that the fifteenth
section should be retained, in order to
make the bill efeetual, and replied in de-
tail to a number of objections urged
against the proposed legislation. Farley,
also, in the course of his remarks, com
mented with severity upon the failure of
the Republican members of the Pacific
Coast delegation to take counsel with their
Democratic colleagues in preparing the
new bill, which had been hurried through
the House Of Representatives without
opportunity for amendment. He an
nounced, however, that while under these
circumstances the Democrats would not be
responsible for any defects in the bill, they
would, nevertheless, furnish votes to pass
it, rather than risk the failure to obtain
relief for the people OF the Pacific Coast
at this session. Farley's speech was con-
siderably interrupted by a Massachusetts,
Senator, who desired to correct alleged
misstatements concerning the North Adams
Chinese experiment, and by the reception
of a message from the President about the
Arizona troubles. Farley concluded at
1920 P. NJ, and Dawes then took the floor.
Dawes spoke very briefly, and was fol-
lowed by Vest, who made an eloquent
speech in favor of the bill. The presenta-
ton of a conference report on the Post
Office Appropriation bill, and some debate
on it, prevented action on the Chinese bill
to-day, and it went over at 5 O'Clock until
tomorrow.

Debate Taking a Partisan Shape.
WASHINGTON, April 27.-The debate in
the Senate this afternoon took a more de-
cided partisan shape than yet during the
present session. 1t was over a bill to re-
peal Section 1918 of the Revised Statutes,
which prohibits those connected with the
rebellion from holding position in the Uni
ted States Army. Senator Edwards said
he regarded it as an effort Of the Demo-
Gratis to repeal legislation intended to
maintain the result OF the war. He spoke
Of all the attempts of the Democrats in
the last Congress to repeal war legislation
by means of riders on appropriations, and
said he was ready now, and at all times, to
meet and resist these efforts of the Demo-
Gratis. Beck and Vest made speeches from
the Democratic side, claiming that the sem
timent Of the country is adverse to main
tanning war memories.
