To proceed with the vote on pending
amendments and on the bill.
Evarts said he regarded the amend
ments reported by the census committee
as an Improvement on the house bill, and
was willing they should be adopted. but
as TO the merits OF the bill itself Il was his
design and his duty to debate IL, and at
some length.
Mitchell explained the purpose Of some
amendments which he offered he did not
like the bfll very well as il came from the
house. but as amended by the senate
committee, it was. he said, absolutely
worthless and Insufficient. He desired TO
have the pending bill amended TO require
the Chinese to show that they were resi-
dents on the first of October 1883 date of
the Scott exclusion act, instead of las the
senate amendment proposed, on June l.,
ls.D. lie asked Hale wnetner ne was swlN-
ing to give certificate that should be
good as ''ticket OF leave" or 'ticket of
stay" to those Chinese who got into the
country unlawfully since October, 1888.
Hale admitted that he was willing To
give amnesty to 500 or 5000 Chinese per-
SONS who came since October. lsss, for
the sake Of closing the doors in the
future.
Hearst said his idea and notion of legis-
lation on the subject was the passage Of a
law that would exclude the Chinese from
coming to the country after n certain date,
but would treat the Chinese already here
| fairly.
Mitchell agreed with Hearst and de-
sired to have law that would exclude all
Chinese except members of diplomatic
| corps.
Dawes wanted to know what use there
would be i'm having Chinese diplomats ad.
mitted il they had no Chinese interests "a
look after.

lomat here was Mitchell's reply than per
init the country to be over run by the yel

OPPOSED To The BILL
4 Protest Against the Duty On Compound
Lard From the South.
How II viii Affect That Part OF the
country-Death to the Cot
ton Seed OIL In
dustry.

WAsHiNGToS, April BY request the
house committee on agriculture to-day re-
opened the hearing on the ConRer lard
compound bill and the Butterworth anti
option bill, both Of which had been re-
ported Ia the house with favorable recon-
mendations. on the first named bill
Messrs. A. Graves, representing the
Georgia Agricultural association, and J.
T.. Jones, representing the colored cotton
farmers and planters Of Arkansas, both
colorcd men, made. arguments against
its passage. Graves pleaded for the pro-
lection Of the cotton seed industry against
the burdens imposed by the bill, on the
ground that IL had contributed more than
anything else tn improve the condition Of
she s folo'ef To asr and ,h s'orsr s Of the he
asserted, would be the enter
ing Of the wedge which would
separate the people from the republican
party. Jones, in the course of his argu-
mcnts, said IL cotton-seed oil must be
taxed, why not tax western hogs? Why
should be protected: The republican
party Is committed to the policy OF the
protection OF American industries. But
had il placed in the Chicago platform the
singular creed that one industry should
he taxed To death that another should be
buried so deep by the weight of public
disfavor that Gabriers trumpet would not
awaken them. The system inaugurated
by the republican party OF taxing one in
dustry To protect another will he resented
by the great mass of people. and the
party that insanely attempts il will be
hurled from power. The democratic party,
Jones said, is committed To free trade.
IL there is anything in their professions
we confidently look To them To defeat this
most pernicious measure. This bill
stripped of all disguise resolved itself
into this condition western hog against
southern negro. Which will win? There
are over two hundred oil mills, mostly in
the south. They employ nearly seventy
five thousand persons, more than three
| fourths OF whom are colored men. Al
least three persons rely upon each of
these seventy-iive thousand for support
| The passage of this bill would close up
| many Of these mills and throw thousands
of dependent people out Of employment,
and entail hardship and want upon the
people least able to stand IL, and all this
To protect the western hog.

had not dared TO throw out the abstract

that: would have defeated the re-
publican candidate for congress
The action of the territorial board OF

therefore utterly void; the elimination Of

ton" as used by the territorial canvassers
for an act of forgery. Upon claim so
detestably false, what legal title. he said,

terized the rejection of the votes OF pre-
