 WASHINGTON, Nov. 1.-In the senate today Hill offered resolution to amend the rules to prevent filibustering,
 which was referred to the committee on rules. Also another resolution author izing the presiding officers to count the quorum present but not voting. Gray explained the rrov sions of the Chinese exclusion bill and Hoar offered an amendment in the shaps of sub ,titute eliminating all but the enacting clause. The amendment suspends Chi
 nese immigration, pending the settle ment of the whole question by a treaty with the Chinese government. It amends the provisions of the existing
 law regarding the registration aud trial of Chinese aliens.
 Davis also offered substitute pro-
 viding fer the repeal of all the existing
 laws excluding Chinese immigrat op. Palmer look exception to the provis-
 ions of the bill rejecting the evidence
 in court of Chinese witnesses, aud to
 the clause refusing bail to Chinese ar
 rested under the provisions of the bill,
 before their guilt IS established
 Perkins, of California, said that Cali
 forDia people were satisfied with the
 present law. It IS the administration
 and the attorneys for the Chinese that
 are making the request for change.
 Perkins said that the Chinese now see
 their mistake and if the time for regis
 tration was extended according to the
 provisions of the bill, they might con-
 ply. The people of California ard
 other states have doubts, however. He
 thought the result would be that the
 Chinise six campanIes and thaIr attor
 neys would ask for another exten ion.
 Perkins read letter from the chief of police of San Francisco, saying that of the arrests for crime, except for drunkenness, in San Francisco. about eighty per cent were from Chinese lnhabi- tants. Not twenty per cent of the Chi nese in California have been conve ted to Christianity. A careful computation reveals the fact, Perkins said, that since they began comIng to the country in numbers they have taken or sent back to China SSl000O000 of American money.
 Dolph spoke in defense of the Geary law.
 Squire offered an amendment appro- priating Sl00,O0O for the enforcement during the present fiscal year of the several acts regulating and prohibiting Chinese immigration, and addressed the senate ID advocacy.
 Fry said the Geary law was dishonor to the country morally, a crime and commercially bluuder.
 Gray attempted to secure unanimous consent for a vote on the pending bill at o'clock, saying the hope was ex- pressed on the democratic side that there could be an adjournment of con- gress day after tomorrow.
 Hoar obi -cted After a brief execu- tive session the senate adjourned.
