CH1cAao, April 1s.--''No, sir, am not a

my name mentioned for the place"
Senator William b. Allison, at the Grand
Pacific hotel, laughed u merry laugh while
his fine eyes twinkled as he shattered that
which might have been a boom for himself.
The senator was in merry mood, and
after he had side-tracksd himself he
launched out in Il talk ve.y tlattering to
President Harrison, whose denomination
he professed to regard AS almost Il foregone
conclusion. The senator said he was salts
fled that tho Iowa DELEGATION was for Har-

Modus ViyendL

III WASHINGTON. April 18.-Ths Pacific coast
senator's arc making ready for n bitter
struggle whom the Chinese restriction bill
comes before the SENATE tomorrow. They
will endeavor to have the senate adopt tho
bill as 1T came from the house, instead of
the senate committes's substitute bill, To
DO this they must overcome the soruples OF
large number Of senators, many OF them
democrats, who at present are inclined to
the belief that the house bill 10 unconstitu-
tlonal and repugnant to the fundamental
principles Of the republic. There are also
some senators who behave the business in
terests Of the country would be very iniuri-
ously affected by the enactment of the
house bill, holding that the execution OF
the law would be followed by exclusion
from China Of all Americans, mainly repre-
sentatives Of American importing firms.
The advocates Of the house bill. how ever,
contend that it is the only measure now be-
fore congressional promisesa roal solution Of
the Chinese question, and that it must be
adopted by the republican senate under
penalty Of heavy loss on the Pacific coast
next November.
Senator Chandler to-day introduced q
number of amendments to the house bill.
This action is significant as an indication
of tho extent of the belief that the house
bill will prove to be the basis Of the action
Of the senate, rather than the committee
substitute. In substance. the amendments
provide that the coming OF Chinese persons
into the United States shall be suspended
for period of fifteen years. in place of the
absolute prohibition of tho house bill.
They reduce from five to two years tho i'm
prisonment prescribed as punishment for
Chinese found unlawfully in the United
States. and finally strike out part of the
last section of the bill abrogating all
treaties in conflict with it.
