x A1 AA O 4 e1 A 1 1l l WASHINGTON, May l3-In the morn | ing hour the house in committee of tn
 whole resumed the consideration of th ! Chinese indemnity resolution.
 Rice, of Massachusetts, argued in sup ! port of the proposition, cOntendIng tha | the obligation ot this government to pay damages, rested not on good will or spirit of benevolence. but on interna uonal law. There were many prece dents for this proposition. The United l States itself bsd demanded indemnity from Cmna for damage done its citizens McCreHry, Oi Ken; lucky, was m favoI ot going gs far as the treaty between tho United States and China would allow, iL prohibiting Chinese laborers coming tO this country. The question of indem
 nlty to tie victims of the violence al Rock Springs was very important. If il stood alone, he did not know that he would support the resolution, but when he remembered that congress had 8l- ready passed law to restrain Immigrs- ton, and there was bill now pending tO extend the terms of restricting, he was inclined to be in favor of the resolution, but there was no treaty or stipulation and no law that compelled indemnity to be paid.
 Phillips, of New Jersey, said he believ- ed congress was z irfg to do what the ad- ministratiOn a-ked It to do. and what the resolution proposed to do was to pay the CEIngIen for property that had been destroyed, not as an act of charity, but hCcause 1t was n sound policy, be cause 1t was reciprocity for hundred act- Of indemnity performed by China under similar circumstances, and be cause 1t was an international obligation.
 Carey, of Wyoming moved to amend by iLrerting after appropriation the words "oT so much thereof as may be necessary" on tbe ground that the ap uroprIatlon WAS entirely too large. He fsyore absolute prohibition of Chi nese immigration, and held thst the re spOnsibility ot the mob at Rock Springs rested upon congress n account of its refusal to listen to the demands of the people of Ire Pacific coast for such pro hibiiion.
 As the morning hour was about draw iug to a close, the committee rose and Mr. Belmont made an effort to limit the debate, but perdiDg action the hour ex plred and the resolution was relegated to its place on the calendar.
