In the Senate.

WASHINGTON, April 21.-The Senate
took up the House Chinese exclusion bill
Chandler moved to amend by making the
term Of exclusion fifteen years instead of
ten. The Senate then took up the bills on
the calendar.
During the consideration of the calendar
the bill was passed to establish military
post near Helena, Mont, approprlating
$500, 000
After the calendar was disposed of, the
House bill, prohibiting the coming of
Chinese persons into the United States,
was taken up for consideration. Chandler
moved an amendment making the term Of
exclusion fifteen instead of ten years.
Dolph, of Oregon, said he disagreed with
Sherman in the opinion that the existing
act would not expire till 1894, and desired
to have some practical legislation on the
subject secured without delay.
FELTON,, OF California, agreed with Dolph
as to the necessity of legislation OF the sub
iect He thought it better that there
should be legislation TO exclude the Chinese.
He would have remained silent but for the
fact that he represented in part consti-
tuencv that had suffered from that evil for
third Of a century. 1t was a moral
| social and economic question. Felton's
speech was composed largely of an indict-
mens against the Chinese race which, he
! said, had sovereign contempt lor western
| civilization and religion. He objected tt
the existing law because it had no practica
effect.
Sherman opposed the House bill. Wher
| the bill went before the committee on for
eign relations, said he, it had been deemed
best instead of passing severe Law
to postpone action on it and provide
for the continuance for ten year.
OF the present regulations restrict

the opinion of the committee on foreign re
lations that the present restrictions woult
not expire until 1894. He advised the Sen
ste should agree to an amendment extend
ing the present legislation for ten year
and let the bill go to a conference commit
tee where the matter might be fully con
sidered. The House bill, Sherman added
was against the spirit of American civil

The Utah Columbian exposition bill was
up for consideration at the Senate terri
tories committee meeting this morning. If
Governor Thomas could have heard all the
disagreeable things which the Republican
as well as the Democratic members of the
committee said about his arbitrary course
in vetoing the territorial bill, he would not
have felt flattered His action was very
generally condemned, and even Platt, the
staid conservative puritanical chairman of
the committee, joined the other speakers in
severely critioising the governors action.
There was some objection to the large num-
Der of managers provided for in the bill.
Some of the members of the committee
| thought that the board Of managers ought
to consist of not more than six or eight
persons at the most. The point was
raised that probably the fifteen
gentlemen already selected are not in ev-
cry respect representative men. 1t was TO
satisfy themselves on this point that the
committee decided to postpone further
consideration of the bill until definite in
formation regarding the matter could be
received from Utah. at the close Of the
meeting, Chairman Plat telegraphed
Judge Zane asking for information upon
this point and requesting him, if he deemed
it advisable, to suggest the names of other
gentlemsn who might be regarded as bet
ter representing the people of the terri
tory. 1t is not improbable that Judge
Zane may give his approval of the gentle
men specially enumerated in the second
section of the bill, but l am informed that
If he proposes the names of any other gen
tlemen that they will be added to the pres
ent list.
1t came out incidentally during the exc
cutive session of the committee that Chair
man PlRtt is favorable to statehood. He
i made this announcement himself. 1t wa!
