WASHINGTON, Sept. 1A--Ths adm,nis-
tration has altered It's determination with
difference to the Everett bill, extending
the time limit allowed under the Geary
act for Chinese to register 70 Sept. 1, 1894.
Last night ut conference held at the
residence OF Secretary Carlisle, at which,
In addition to the secretary Of ths treas
ury, there wore present Secretary Gres-
ham. Attorney General Olncy and Repre-
sentative Geary of California, the mem-
hers OF the administration expressed the
opinion that the bill ought to be pushed
through both houses at once, and an in
ten;ion was manifested Of insisting upon
going ahead with the bill to-day in the
house. Ceary, however, pointed out radi-
cal defects in the bill, which would
rondsr its effects nugatory. He also de-
clared the extension Of the time for regis
tering should be reduced to six months; ;
that the term ''Chinese laborcr" should be
specifically defined, and that the impris.
onment clause should be modified. He
also wanted provision inserted for pho
tographing all Chinese who registered. II
was finally decided to agree to the modifi.
cations and accordingly to-day the bill
was referred by the foreign affairs COM
mittee to q subcommittee, which will
meet tomorrow night.
To-day it developed that Cleveland him

days with reference to tho Tucker bill re-
pealing the existing federal election laws.
While tho house leaders have no desire to
embarrass the president In the fight In the
senate, they will not agree to the policy
advanced by the white house. The Tucker

An Unconditional Repeal That All Good
Democrats Are In Favor OF.
WASHINGTON, Sept. 13.-It is thought
that the bill to repeal tho federal election
laws is to bc presented to-morroy In tho
house. 1t is not probable that the debate
on the measure will begin before Friday.
How long the discussion will last is un-
settled. Republicans say il will last at
least q month. Tucker of Virginia, who
has the bill in charge, says there will be
no limit placed on speeches In the limo Of
legitimate discussion, but as soon as IL is
apparent that tho minority is fllibustering,
the committee OH rules will be invoked for
an order which viii! compel vote. There
10 good deal of opposition manifested
even on the democratic side. to the present
consideration of the proposition to repeal
the federal elections laws. 1t is claimed
that 1t will dctract attention from the
senate and in this way will, by angering
the republicans, endanger the cause Of
repeal.
The answer of the southern democrats
TO this is brief, but to the point. They
say they have already sacrificed their
opinions OH silver to the position of the
administration and cannot go back 10
their constituents unless something is
done directly desired by their section.
Apart from this, there is general desire
on the part of the democratic leaders to
have some question brought forward
upon which political lines can be visibly
drawn. They point out that the demo-
cratic party is not q unit upon silver or
the state bank tax or tho income tax and
there are differences of opinion rs to the
extent to which tariff revision should 20.
