PLEDGE VOTES
FOR EXCLUSION
Three Hundred and Two
Members of Congress
So Decide.
Many Who Were Classed as
Doubtful Are Now in
Favor of the Bill.
Special Dispatch to The Call.

NEW YORK, Dec. 9.-Since the Chinese
exclusion poll was published in The Call
last Thursday many replies have been re-
Ceived from members of Congress who
were then classed as doubtful The re-
suit to date shows that tWo-thirds of the
Senators and four-ffths of the Represen-
tatives are pledged to vote for exclusion.
Senator Frye, who was considered doubt
full, will vote for the exclusion bill. So
will Senator Warren of Wyoming, who
was reported by San Francisco paper to
be opposed to exclusion
The unreliability Of this papers canvass
is shown by the fact that Mondell of Wyo-
ming was classed as doubtful, when as. a
matter Of fact he is one of the leading
spirits opposed to Chinese immigration,
and has introduced a bill excluding the
Chinese.
Two hundred and lightweight Repre-
sentatives have signiied their Intention of
voting for exclusion out of a total mem
bershlp of S57, and fifty-four Senators out
Of total Of eighty-eight Cthere are two
Vacancies).
Senator Hawley writes: ''You need have
no apprehension regarding the passage of
the exclusion bill"
Senator Stewart says: There is no OBJ
position so far as 1 can see."
The only Outspol1en opponent of exclu-
sion IS Henry c. Smith of Michigan. 9th
ers who were reported to be opposed have
now come out in favor of exclusion.
ing positively how they will vote, predict
the passage Of the exclusion bill They
Will all vote for exclusion, however. This
increases the grand total TO 302.

klns to-day introduced a Chinese exclu-
sion bill, the provisions of which are the
same as those Of the measure prepared

C|CARMAKERS
SUFFER DEFEAT
Labor Leaders Refuse to
Boycott the Machine
Made Goods.
Metal Trades Federation Or
ganizes and Elects
Officers.

SCRANTON, Pa, Dec. 9.-The confer
ence of the American 4 GRAFTON of La
Dor was in session Only ours to-day,
adjournment being tai, - tomorrow
morning in order to e.. the several
committees to consider Ii large number
of resolutions still in their hands
There was a lively discussion on the
floor over the question of boycotting ma
chine-made cigars 1t is the same ques-
ton that the Cigar-makers International
Union has brought up at previous conven-
tions of the federation, and the union has
always been defeated in its fight against
the introduction of machinery in the cigar
trade. At the present time not a ma
chine-made cigar in the United States, it
is said, bears the label of the Cigar-mak-
ers' international Union. The matter
came up in the form of resolution pre-
sented by President Gompers, John c.
Durnen and Thomas f. Tracey of the
Clgar-makers Union, and was referred to
the committee on labels. II denounced a
certain company tor making cigars by
child labor and machine ana called upon
the federation to assist in unionlzlng the
various plants or the company. The
committee reported the resolution back
with the recommendation that the word
machinery be stricken out and the res
olution adopted. The cigar-makers opened
their nght. They insisted that the term
machinery should not be eliminated
and argued that cigars made by machin-
cry are not as good as those made by
hand, and that the machine drives hand
clgar-makers out of business. The speak
ers in opposition to the cigar-makers'
proposition argued that to oppose ma
ch1nery would be folly.
Machines are used in many lines of
trade and the union could not success
fully fight the law of progress.
The moving of the previous question
quickly ended the debate and the resolu-
ton with the word machinery stricken
out was adopted as recommended.
The Metal Trades Federation, after a
series of meetings, finally organized to-
day by electing officers. Another meet
ing will be held tomorrow to- dispose of
business still on hand. The following Of
f1cerS were elected:
President, E. ]. Lynch, New York national
president of the Metal Polishers; vice presi-
dent, Robert Kerr, Moline, Ill, national presi-
dent of the Blacksmiths; secretary treasurer,
John % Leary, Worcester. Mass, president of
the Coremakers
The executive committee will be COM
posed of the above officers and all the
national presidents of other trades allied
with the Metal Federation. The person
mel of the company has not yet been
made up.
All of the trades in the Metal Fedora
ton are affiliated with the American Fed
GRAFTON, and the object is to have an as
ISOLATION that can deal directly with the
manufacturers, who are organized under
the name of the National Metal Trades
Association.

Western Jockey Club Meeting.

CHICAGO, Dec. 9.-What promises to
be one of the most interesting of the
Western Jockey Club meetings is in ses-
sion here to-day. The board of stewards
met at noon to elect officers and arrange
"a general adjustment of the troubles and
Iivalries among "outlawed'' tracks will
take place. Local horsemen believe that
after to-day's meeting Western turf at
tiers will pass under the exclusive con-
troll of this organization. 1t was an
nounced to-day that the opposition
tracks at the Fair Grounds and Delmar,
which heretofore have been a thorn in
the jockey clubs side, will become strong
allies.

FORCING CHECKS
Bookkeeper Of Swindled
Liverpool Bank Aids
Prosecution.
Sufficient Evidence at Hand
to Convict the Men
Under Arrest.

LONDON, Dec. 9.-Thomas Peterson
Goudie. the former bookkeeper of the
Bank of Liverpool; Dick Burge. the Eng
lish pugilist, and F. T. Kelly, the book
maker, of Bradford, were arraigned at
the Bow-street Police Court to-day in
connection with the Liverpool Bank
frauds. Prosecuting counsel announced
that GOudie admitted he had forged
checks, but disputed the aggregate
amount. The statement of counsel was
mostly a reiteration of facts already
known The most interesting point was
the announcement made by counsel that
he would be able to prove that after
Kelly had 'milked' Goudie to the ex-
tent of G72,000 Burge got wind of the sit
uation and in conjunction with Laurie
Marks, the American bookmaker. who is
said to have committed suicide by jump
ing overheard from a channel steamer,
and James Names, a bOokmaker well
known on the American tracks, decided
not to leave Goudie in the hands of
Kelly. The trio thereupon dispatched
Names to interview Goudie, with the re-
suit that they accumulated e91 900, Of
which Burge received one-half, ManceS
one-third and Marks One-sixth.

FRENCH FINANCE MINISTER
REPLIES TO HIS CRITICS
Says That the Present Legislature
Will Produce Larger Surplus
Than Ever BEFORE

PARIS, Dec. 9.-In the Chamber of
Deputies to-day the Minister of Finance,
M Caillaux, replied to criticisms Of the
budget proposals and to the pessimistic
predictions of the adversaries of the re-
public. The Minister said the year 1901
will develop a net deficit of $1,000 900
francs but when the preceding SURPRISES
are taken into consideration it will be
found that the present Legislature pro-
duced surplus of 275 900 900 francs, which
no Legislature had ever done before.
The Finance Minister also said a gen.
eral crisis existed in consequence of the
South African war, which had an unfa-
vorable influence on the French budget
In this regard, however, France had suf-
fered less than other countries.

State Teachers Reading Circle.

The teachers of the Yale schools
unanimously decided to do the work of
the State Teachers Reading Circle.
They set the time of meeting on the
second and fourth Friday evenings of
each month, so that the teachers in the
vicinity of Yale may meet with them.
The first meeting will be September q.
There are three books in the course, viz: :
A Psychology for Teachers by G. Lloyd
Morgan, Principal of University Col
lege at Bristol, Industrial Evolution of
the United States by Carol ID. Wright,
Commissioner of Labor, and story
book entitled Fanciful Tales by Frank
r.. Stockston. While all of the books
are for general culture the psychology
is of special interest to both teachers
and parents, as it deals with the mind
of the child Since it is not technical
the subject can be mastered without
any former knowledge of psychology.
The second book is history of the
industrial movement in the United
States. All who are interested in gen.
eral culture are invited to take the
course. Everything will be done to
make the course interesting. Purchase
your books and be prepared upon the
first chapter of each book.

Married 40 Years.

Daniel Salter and his amiable little
wife, living two miles north from the
village, have been travelling together
along the matrimonial road for the
period of 40 years up till Tuesday the
10th inst, that being the anniversary
of their wedding. Quite number of
their old neighbors made this the occas-
ion of surprise visit on Tuesday night,
carving along with them baskets full
of dainties, chicken pie being conspic-
uous, forming the staple. A jolly good
time was passed, Mr.. Salter with some
others of the company being amongst
the Oldest pioneers of Brockway town
ship. Many "reminiscences of early
days when Yale was almost wilder
ness were related, making quite an in.
teresting topic for an evenings enter
tainment. A very handsome arm rock
ing chair was presented to Mr.. and Mrs.
Salter as a memento of the occasion, as
we'll as a token of the esteem in which
the old couple are held amongst their
neighbors.
