NO BLACKS NEED APPLY.
AN ODD CLAUSE IN THE CHINESE
EXCLUSION ACT.


White Witnesses Only Competent to
Prove the Right of Cinnamon to
Residence in the Countrywide Re-
stricsion Put in by the Conference
Committees of the Two Houses.
WASHINGTON, June 1.-"No colored men
need apply" is the legend over the anti-Chi-
nese law which has passed congress and res
Gently received the approval Of a repub-
lican President.
White witnesses and white witnesses only
are authorized by the act 10 prove that
Cinnamon, who are without certificates Of
residence, are entitled to remain In this
country. The word white" was not in the
original Chinese exclusion act as introduced
by Representative Geary of California on
Feb. IS. II was not in the act which passed
the House under Mr.. Geary's management.
1t was put In by the committee Of confer
ence, consisting OF two republican senators
and one democratic senator and one repub-
lican and two democratic representatives.
THE REASON FOR THE AMENDMENT.
The reason for it given by MIR. Geary is
that it was thought that white witnesses
would be more ''reliable." There was no
opposition by any of the republicans on the
conference committee to this discrimina~
ton against people of color. The fact that
this language would exclude not only the
poor yellow men who have no vote, but the
black men who have votes but seldom get
offices. was not overlooked in the conference
committee. Attention was called to the
language and ib was agreed that it was the
best language to use. The surprising thing
about the matter is not 80 much the action
of a few members of congress, influenced by
anti Chinese feeling in their districts, 30
much as the action OF the officials of the
state department to which are referred all
bills dealing with state department matters
before the President affixes his signature.
ExCITEs COMMENT.
The language Of the bill, as recommended
for signature at the department of state.
caused considerable comment about the
capitol to-day, and was generally regarded
as striking Assistant Secretary Wharton Off
the list of eligible candidates for the repub-
licau nomination in his congressional dis
trict. The district is "A very independent
one and contains several hundred oolored
votes, the largest colored settlement
in Massachusetts, In a couple wards of Bos-
ton. II Mr.. Wharton recommends the ap-
proval by the President Of this discrimina-
ton against black men 1t is argued that the
oolored vote will be cast nearly solidly
against him.

The Wood Work Catches Fire and

PRAGUE, June 1.-An appalling accident

mine, near Prizebram, in Bohemia. The
timbers used in supporting the roof of the
niue and for other purposes caught fire, the
flames spreading from one part of the work.
ings to another until the whole mine was a
mass Of fire.
After a long struggle the fire was ex-
tinguished and volunteers went down into
the mino to rescue those who might have
lived through the fire. The galleries were
found to be badly obstructed with charred
timbers, and much difficulty was found in
making progress in any direction from the
shaft.
The fire broke out last night. At that
time 500 mon were working in the mine.
All but forty succeeded in making their es-
cape. Fourteen bodies have been recovered.
Many Of the survivors are seriously in jured.
The work OF rescue was suspended during
the night owing to the suffocatng gases
with which the mine was filed. 1t was re-
sumed at an early hour this morning.

SAVANNAH, GA, THURSDAY JUNE 2 1892.

as the unfinished business, the proposition
was agreed to.
Mr.. Stewart then took the floor to reply
TO Mr.. Sherman's argument against the bill.
AS the latter was leaving the chamber Mr.
Stewart expressed desire that the senator
from Ohio should remain and hear again a
recital of the history of the demonstration
of silver which he would give, he said, so
that the people might know who 1t was that
had brought upon the country the present
depression and that had disturbed the
finances OF the entire world.
Mr.. Sherman, however, did not care to
remain for that purpose.
Mr.. Stewart did not have half a dozen
listeners on his own side of the chamber,
and he therefore addressed himself almost
exclusively to an audience of democratic SEM
ators. He did so until 4:30 O'Clock, when,
without finishing his speech, he gave way
to a motion to adjourn, and the Senate ac-
cordingly adjourned till Tomorrow.

cided to sit as usual to-day, notwithstanding
the fact that it had been customary to ads
journ over Derby day. When the house
met to-day only thirteen members were
present. or course no business was done
and the speaker therefore adjourned the
sitting until l o'clock. When that hour
arrived nineteen members made their ap-
pearance. The speaker thereupon decided
to adjourn the sitting indefinitely. Though
a ma jority of the house voted yesterday to
meet to-day as usual the greater part Of
them could not stand the idea of performing
legislative work when the greatest OF all
horse races was being run. So they had
quietly proceeded to Epson Downs
When the speaker returned later there
were only thirty-five members present. The
House was then adjourned until tomorrow.
The newspapers make sarcastic comments
on the absence of 15S members who yester-
day rejected motion to adjourn over TO-

The Friends ofthe Bill Becoming Anx-
ious as to Its Fate.
WASHINGTON. June 1.-The friends of
the river and harbor bill are becoming
somewhat anxious as to its ultimate fate.
At present it stands upon the House calen-
dar with the Senate amendments pending.
Should it again--as according to the rules
1t must do-run the gauntlet Of the oom~
mittee of tho whole, the time of its final
passage would be wholly problematical. as
every amendment would be subject
to further amendment, and its ene-
mics could take advantage of the present
depleted condition of the House to postpone
Its passage indefinitely. Confronted with
this condition, the advocates of the measure
have decided TO ask the House to suspend tho
rules on Monday next in order to non-con-
cur In the Senate amendments and to agree
to a conference. AS this motion will re-
quire two-thirds vote, the committee on
river and harbors are using every means to
make sure that every friend of the bill
should be present upon that day.
