The Exclusion Question i.

WARRINGTON, Sept. 15-The action of
the subcommittee on foreign affairs last
night, in refusing to accept Geary s
amend dment providing for absolute means
OF identification BY photographing or
otherwise, in order to prevent the uss Of
Chinese register certificates by others,
resulted in a decision OF the Pacific coast
members, led by Geary and White. 20
fight the bill tooth and nail 1t appears,
although this Identification provision is
deemed essential TO the Everett bill for
an extension of the time for registration,
that the underlying and private reason of
determination to fight the extension
measure is the fear the new law will be
again carried 10 the supreme court. This
would reopen the whole question, and
might result in decision of the supreme
court that the Geary law is unconstitu
tional. The decision by which Its con
stitutionality was upheld was only rem
dered by majority of one in the supreme
court, Justice Harlan being absent. He
is now here, and it is feared that in, case
the matter should again come before
court the former decision would be re-
versed. Geary declares that. while it
may be impossible to defeat the Everett
bill in the house in case the committee
on rules brings II IN order, it can be de-
feated IN the senate.

TELEGRAPHIG.
Thousands Homeless.

MILWAUKEE, Sept 15-Dispatcnes this
morning from a score of northern Wis
consin cities tell stories of great loss by
forest fires. Marshfeld, junction City,
Dextervllle, Prentis, Spencer, Medford,
Rhinelander, Stevens Point and other
places with population of 1000 to 5000,
are surrounded by flames, and In the
greatest danger of being wiped out.
Everything between DAILY. Wood county,
and Necedah, Juneau county, on the
Milwaukee & St. Paul railway, is burned.
Dextervlle is threatened with annihla-
ton. Hundreds of scattered dwellings
known to be in the path of the flames are
doubtless burned. No loss of life Is re
ported. but that all the settlers in the
burned districts escaped Is impossible.
Every square mile of the vast timbered
district of Wisconsin is as dry as tinder.
The flames are sweeping without check.
The losses will doubtless run into the
millions. The district already swept by
fire and that threatened includes nearly
one third of the state. Wisconsin is
overhung by pail of smoke reaching
from Lake Michigan to Lake Superior,
and from the extreme eastern border OF
the state to the Mississippi river.
Advice at the railroad offices here are
to the effect that the flames have swept
everything between Babcock and Niece
dab, distance of twenty miles. The
country is sparsely settled, so the damage
is only to timber Fires are very bad
around Merrill, Pine Ridge, Heights,
Combs, Daney, Runkle's Mills and Ru-
dolph; all small places.

STRANGE INDEED.

The Salem correspondent of the Port
land Telegram voices the sentiment OF
the people of this section in the following
excerpt: Up till now there has been
nothing to call out the especial antagon-
ism or interest of the railroad companies,
but they showed yesterday that they are
watching the proceedings closely, and
are prepared to resist all attempts to
benefit the people at their expense.
This was developed when Smiths bill,
providing for the carriage of freight be-
tween The Dalles and Cello and fixing
the rate therefor, came up. Bancroft &
Denny led the opposition to the bill and
were aided by Hayes, Alley and Cogs-
well. The latter explained that he did
not want to vote blindly for rates that
the courts might declare unreasonable.
Smith ably defended his bill, and
charged that railroad lobbyists were
here to influence legislators. 1t is
strange that Portland, which is so deeply
interested in an open river, should for
ever be obliged TO obey the behests of
the Union Pacific Railroad company.
An open river would benefit Portland a
thousand dollars where the benefits it
obtains from the railroad in consequence
amount to as many cents; yet it has
always seemed to be the case that the
railroad is the chief care of Portland's
representatives.
