 Upon satisfying himself as to the regularity of these papers the diplo- matic agent of the United States gov ernment shall send through the mail 8 letter to the government officials at the port of intended arrival in the United , States. informing him of the issuing of such permission. The failure of such notice to arrive is to be considered suf- 1 ficient for the exclusion of the person seeking entrance to this country. Under this bill the secretary of the treasury shall apply to the Chinese government for a list of all officials who desire to visit United States terri tory and if visitors name is not upon this list he shall not be permitted to enter although claiming to be a gov ernment official. The bill gives detailed and strict definition of the words teacher. student, merchant. traveller and other terms used in describing the particular class of Chinese who shall be permitted to travel in the United
 
 country must secure the necessary pa Pers to allow him to return and he cannot remain away more than two years without forfeiting his right to re- turn to the United States.
 The Kahn bill with its forty-nine sections is the proposed enactment into d law not only of the Chinese exclusion act itself but of many of the regula- tions which are now enforced by order of the secretary of the treasury. Such additions have been made to these regulations as are deemed advisable by those who have had the experience with it's administration.
 Secretary Gage and a number of other high officials are opposed to the re-enactment of Chinese exclusion act. They believe it to be wrong in principle and detrimental to American commerce. They are also of the opin- ion that the dangers of a yellow in- vasion" of the United States are over estimated by those seeking the re-en- actment of the law. Commissioner Powderly. however. who now has charge of the administration of the Chinese exclusion act, is in favor of it's re-enactment, and public sentiment and political pressure were so great in this direction that no reference was made to the law in the annual report of the secretary of the treasury as made to the president. It was undoubtedly his original intention to have expressed himself as unfavorable to a Chinese exclusion law, but at the last moment he decided to say nothing about it.
 President Roosevelt in his message emphatically recommends the re-en- actment of the law and as a large ma jority of both houses in congress en- dorses his position there is little doubt of the enactment of a measure founded upon the Kahn bill as it is now before the committee.

Berlin. Dec. 1S.-A curious article has appeared in the Kreutz Zeitung which. although it cannot be called even s semi-official newspaper. sometimes re- fleets government views.
 The article dwells on the alleged prob ability of American intervention in South Africa. and remarks that Presi- dent Roosevelt is not in harmony with the bulk of public sentiment. and adds. Americans must remember that in l7S3 the union would not have been pos sible except through foreign interven- tion.

BEET SUGAR BUSINESS
There is Only One More Day to Sign
 Contracts.

There is only one more day after to- day on which contracts may be signed by the farmers to grow sugar beets. MT. Sampsell, representing the com pany, will leave for New York on the night of December 20. Several con tracts were signed yesterday. but there is still a shortage. It is believed. though, that the required area of land will be secured.
 Regarding the profits of beet sugar growing, the Los Angeles Herald of December 16. printed the following dispatch from Santa Maria, Cal:
 Tt is reported that the sugar fac tory company will double the capacity of the mill next season.. The factory was unable to put through all of the beets raised this season. and as those that were engaged in raising beets were so successful, it is very likely that the acreage will be nearly doubled. The profit in raising beets is shown by these figures: Dutra had in 100 acres. on which he realized near ly s1,o00. He says that S15 per acre will cover all the expenses of growing and harvesting MT. Zanetti had 150 acres and realized about 5000; d Chinaman from I9O acres received s10.645. and from a small patch of five acres in the Arroyo Grande valley was realized S617. or about s123 to the acre.
 ''As it has been demonstrated that irrigation can be carried on with a little expense in the beginning such as putting down the wells and suit able machinery for pumping. it will not be many years before the valley will be one great beet field. giving the soil change from the continuous growing of wheat and barley.
 The shutdown of the sugar factory is to be celebrated by a ball, given at the Hart house on Friday evening, De cember 20. Committees have been ap- pointed, and as it is the first affair of the kind given by the employees of the factory. they intend to make it. the swell ball Of the season.

ISLAND TARIFF Philippines Bill Passed
 the House A BREAK IN THE LINES
Republicans Lined Up Against a Mo tion to Recommit, and the Louis iapa Representatives Stayed With Them-The Opposition Desired 6 Longer Time to Consider the Bill. But Had Nothing to Take Its Place.

Washington. Dec. 1S.-The bill to Philippine islands passed the house to- day by vote of 163 to 12S. Five re publicans: Mccall of Massachusetts, Littlefield of Maine, Heatwole. Eddy and Stevens of Minnesota, voted with the democrats against the bill. Three democrats: Robertson, Davey and Broussard of Louisiana, voted with the republicans for the bill.
 In the course of the debate today the democrats were several times taunted with their failure to present an alternative proposition for the pending measure, but just before the vote was taken on the passage of the bill. the attitude of the minority was defined in a motion to Iecommit, offered by Mir. Richardson, the minority leader.
 It instructed the ways and means committee to report the bill back to be amended so as to reduce the GUS toms and internal revenue laws of the United States to a revenue basis, and extend them to the Philippines. until the latter. with the aid of the United States. should be able to set up a sta ble and independent government. This proposition did not command repub- lican vote and the three Louisiana rep resentatives voted against it. The motion was lost by a vote of I72 to le2.
 The attendance in the galleries did not indicate much public interest in the debate Henry. of Texas. was the first speaker. He characterized the bill as oppressive and outrageous Months. instead of days. he said. would not be too long for the discussion Of d measure of such vital interest to ten million people. He dwelt upon the in justice of the double export and import tax on rice. sugar and tobacco and charged that this double taxation was in the interest of sugar and tobacco trusts.
 The bill passed today imposes the Dingley tariff on goods entering the Philippines from the United States IL also provides for the collection of ton mage taxes on vessels plying between the United States and the Philippines. and that foreign vessels may ply be- tween these ports until January l. 1905. The duties and taxes collected under the provisions of the bill shall go into the Philippine treasury, and be expended for the use and benefit of the islands.
