WASHINGTON, April 29.-The Confer
ence Committee on the Chinese exclusion
Dill was III session for two hours to-day.
The committee is now composed Of
Senators sherman, Morgan and DoIph
and Representatives Geary, Chipman and
Hit.
Geary proposed to deny bail to Chinese
IN habeas corpus proceedings. No agree
ment was reached on this proposition,
nor on that (also made by Geary) to de-
fine Chinese merchaut' as one en-
gagged in the importation and expectation
OF merchandise-that is to say, whole
salers.
The matter of issuing certificates of resi-
dence to Chinese was then discussed.
Sherman would not consent to this.
He said it would amount to "ticket-of-
leave" law.
The three House conferrees We're will
ing enough to adopt Geary's registration
plan, and as Senator Morgan also agreed
TO 1t, it would have been settled at once
but Tor Senator DOlph, who said that such
a provision would only result in lengthy
discussion by the Senate, and he did not
think it could be adopted in the end. He
thought 1t could only result in delaying
matters, and there was no time to lose, ii
the present law expires May 9th next.
lie thought 1t best to first extend the eX-
lsTlng laws, and then there would be time
enough to secure such additional legisla-
ton as might render the present laws
more secure against Chinese evasion.
Geary thought that If action were not
taken now it might be delayed for long
time, perhaps until the expiration Of the
ten years, for the opponents OF additional
legislation would advance the same argu-
ments that are now brought forward by
parties who are cOntending that the pres
ent laws run two years yet, viz, that
there is no great hurry
Dolph asked Geary if he would be
willing to assume the responsibility of
delaying action of any kind and causing
lapse in the law which the Chinese
would take advantage of to invade the
United States by thousands?
Geary said that he was willing to take
such risk.
Dolph concluded that the House con-
ferrees were not disposed to make any
concessions, so he agreed to take the mat
ter under consideration until the next
meeting, which will be tomorrow morn
ing at ii O'Clock. In the interval he will
himself prepare form of Chinese regis
tratlon certificate to be submitted to the
conferrees.

Representative Bowers Brought Be-
fore the Bar of the House.
WAsHINGTON, April 29.-In the House
this morning the Speaker called atten-
ton to the fact that at the time of adj
journment yesterday the Sergeant-at-
Arms was given warrants for the arrest
Of absentee members. He called on that
officer for report. He said nineteen
warrants were placed in his hands; seven
he was unable to find; the other twelve
promised to be here this morning. The
Speaker stated the action of allowing
members to give their parole to appear
was in accordance with his instructions
TO the ergeant-at-Arms. The delin-
quent members were then summoned to
the bar Of the House to present excuses.
Bowers of California appeared first. He
said his chief otfenSe consisted in being
caught. lie went home yesterday to
answer the letters of persons wanting
pensions or postotiiceS, or persons who
did not want somebody else appointed as
Postmaster, and had no intention OF
breaking the rules of the House. a
motion to excuse Bowers was made. but
many, believing the arrest of members
for neglect of duty was not mere chlld'S
play, demanded the ayes and noes. Be-
fore the vote was announced the point OF
order was made that members under ar
rest had no right to vote.
After considerable sparaing between the
Democrats and the Republicans, the
Speaker overruled the point OF order, on
the ground that he had no right to order
members names eliminated from the
roll.
Bowers was eXcuSed-130 to Go.
The remainder Of the delinquents were
then excused on more or less frivolous
grounds, and after touching some unin-
portant matters, the House went into
Committee of the Whole on the public
calendar.
Representative Bailey Of Texas intro
duced an amendment to the rules which,
ii adopted, will insure large attendance
in the House and relieve that body from
the embarrassment which it suffered
lately. The amendment directs the Ser
geant-at-Arms to withhold the monthly
pay of a member till he files a written
statement that he was present in the
House during the preceding month. Ii
he was absent, except on account of per-
sonal sickness or sickness in his family,
the Sergeant-at-Arms is to deduct his sal
ary for the days absent, as provided in
Section 40 of the Revised Statutes. Any
violation of this rule by the Sergeant
shall make him liable on his bond for all
payments made contrary to the provision
of Section 40.

way read. 1t called his attention to the
fact that the Civil Service Commissioners
had repeatedly urged that the civil serv-
ice law be extended to postoffices having
twenty-five employees or more yet, dur
ing three years, Mr.. Harrison has not
done so. The President in reply, on De-
cenber 3lst. after promising that he had
not time to discuss the matter at length.
said:
My thought was the first thing to.do
was to satisfy the country that the law is
being faithfully and impartially admin
lstered. AS to offices already classified,
l think a good deal has been accom-
pllShed in that direction, and there has
been an important extension in the class
lied service. The subject presented by
you as well as some other suggested
movements, have been having and will
have my consideration, but l am not now
prepared to announce my programme"
The report ofthe Committee on Resolu-
tions was presented and adopted. The
resolutions commend what has been ac-
complished by the present Administra-
ton in the way of reforms, but says:
Solemn promises of the Republican plat
form of 1888, has been broken, voluntary
pledges of the present untitled, and the
claim of the Republican party, however
strong, to be party of civil reform, has
not been sustained by the course of the
Administration, and at this gross breach
of plighted faith, the National Civil
Service Reform League earnestly pro-
tests"
In the discussion which preceded the
adoption of the report, Dorman suggested
that it include the Endorsement of Har-
rison, because, in the appointment of
nine new United States Judges, he named
two Democrats. The suggestion aroused
opposition. The discussion waxed warm.
when Schurz offered substitute, as fol-
lows: The Presidents judicial appoint
ments were signs of progress in the right
direction" This was adopted.
