on this point were philosophical anC
made good presentation of that side
Of the question.
There was some strong debate OIL
property qualification by Mr.. Hill OF
Connecticut. This brought out Mr.
Williams OF Mississippi, who tauntec
the New Englanders with the fact OF
such qualifications existing in Connect.
.cut and Rhode Island, while the New
Englanders stoutly opposed the plac.
ing of any property qualification upon
the negro.
Mr.. De Almond OF Missouri then pro
posed an amendment that all Chinese
and other Asiatics who came or were
brought into Hawaii since August 18th
1893, under any contracts or contract
whereby they bound themselves OF
were or are bound to any term of SER
vice, shall depart therefrom and from
the United States within one year from
the date of the taking effect of this
act Such Asiatics are then brought
within the Chinese exclusion act oil
1893. This amendment was agreed to
If this amendment should be accept
ed by the Senate, 1t might work great
disaster to the sugar interests of the
Islands. 1t confuses the Japanese with
the Chinese. So far as the japanese
are concerned, this provision clearly
violates the treaty now existing be
tween Japan and the United States
The Senate will take this view Of the
case and refuse to accept it, in the con
ference. If it does not, the Supreme
Court will declare it to be a violation
of the treaty. The United States, hav-
ing annexed the Hawaiian Islands and
permitted the Japanese to lawfully
and in Hawaii, and having approved
Of the Hawaiian laws which permit
such immigration, cannot now repudi-
ate such permission.
Both the amendments were adopted,
but all of them are now subject to the
action of the conference committee of
both branches of Congress.
1t is believed that there will be no
serious difficulties in adjusting the diff
ferences. The majoritles in both
Houses have agreed in extending the
Constitution to Hawaii, and therefore
tariff discrimination will be finally dis
posed of.
The wisdom of keeping back debate
on the Hawaiian bill until the Porto
Rico matter had been discussed is
now apparent. The feeling through
out the land, developed by that discus
sion, convinced Congress that tariff
discrimination against Hawaii would
not be tolerated. During the entire
debate on the Hawaiian matter not a
suggestion was made on either side re-
garding tariff.
The Senate today refused to concur
in the House amendments, and a con-
ference committee was asked for. The
Committee on Conference was APP
pointed. 1t could not be better one.
Cullom, Morgan and Lodge are the
members of 1t, while 1t is understood
that Knox, Hit and Moon will be the
House committee. The selection is
excellent. There will be a meeting
without delay, and it is hoped that the
business will be finished within ten
days.
Rumors are about that SLATE" has
been made of the Territorial officials.
An interesting chapter might be writ
ten on this subject. But it would be
wise to disregard any positive state
ments This is quite enough to say at

HORRORS OF THE FAMINE.
Girls Sold by Starving Parents for
Thirty Cents Apiece.

BOSTON, April 16.-The Rev. Rock
well Clancy, missionary at Allahabad
who is visiting his brother in Medford
said last night: The condition of fam
ine-stricken India today Is something
perfectly awful to contemplate. | can
not tell anything about the number dy-
ing, but when | left Bombay last Feb
ruary there were some 100000 900 people
suffering, and over 30,000,O00 were in
dire distress, and of these but 100000
were receiving Government aid.
1t is not the cities, but the country
places, which are stricken, and when
you know that so per cent of the pop
ulation of India is made up of tillers
of the soil, you may be able to grasp
in some slight manner the extent of the
suffering.
When the famine set in the people
began to sell everything they had that
might get little grain food. They
took the doors from their houses and
sold them; sold their furniture and
farming utensils, and then, when they
had no longer anything to sell, they
sold their children. The boys don't sell
well, and the traffic is largely in girls.
Il saw girls in one town just before
came away being sold for 30 cents
apiece. They were bought up by Mo-
hammedans. But they won't buy the
boys, so when the parents can no longer
support their children, they abandon
them, and henceforth they must get on
as best they can. These cast-offs con-
gregate about the doors of the grain
merchants shops, and the only way the
proprietors can get rid of them is to
throw out handfuls of grain, scattering
1t wide. The children pick and pick all
day, and at night perhaps are rewarded
by having collected single handful"

with the new year the Interstate

THE Manufacturers record ac-

to live up to the following estimate Of

Wilmington, n. c.:
Il wish to thank you for the good
work you did to the south when you
published the Baltimore-Southern Sup
plement to the Manufacturers Record,
giving a comprehensive view of the in
dustrial south of today. In it North
Carolina stands proudly side by side in
enterprise, pluck and go-aheadtiveness
with her sister states. North Carolina
is all right, though slow to act, but
when she starts she stands majestical-
ly proud in the front line, either in
peace or war. The Manufacturers Re
cord should be read in every store, Of
flee and factory in the north and south
east and west. 1t has done more for
the upbuilding of the southern states
than all the other southern industrial
papers put together. May 1900 see even
greater fruits from your noble efforts

Chief of Police Parmele told a Mes
senger representative last night that
Kestler and a woman supposed to be

Capt. Sterling F. Craig has returned
from Bogue's Inlet, where he went to
see what arrangements could be made
by which the Cape Fear Towing and

the schooner Thomas l.. James. 1t
will be remembered that the schooner
went ashore during the October storm

Pierce of the stranded vessel and
made him an offer to float her.
Capt. Craig says the schooner is in a
very bad position and it will take a
very high tide to floa her out, but he
thinks it can be done. No agreement
was reached and if Capt. Pierce de
cides to award the contract to the
Cape Fear Towing and Transportation
Company he will do sc within a few
