Odds AGAINST Subsidy Bill.

Washington, April 9.-"According to
the ordinary doctrine of chances, the
odds are three to one against the ship
subsidy bill becoming law and fully
ten to one against its passage by the
house at this session" This sweeping
statement was made to a correspondent,
personally by one of the best known
leaders of the house, whose word car
ries weight wherever it is heard. He
declined absolutely to go on record
publicly because he said he was not
opposed to the ship subsidy idea as a
whole, but only to the developments
exhibited in the senate bill.
I'm my opinion he said, "the sub :
sidy bill can not get thru the commit
tee. If, however, 1t should be reported
favorably, contrary to all present indi-
cations, 1t could not get thru the house
at this session. 1t is not going too far
to say that If this subsidy measure
should be reported it will run against a
series of appropriation bills, conference
reports and similar privileged matters.
which will generally be ready for con-
sideration.
From now on the house will be busy
- too busy to pass subsidy bills at least.
It is not good politics to take up such
measure at this time. 1t is not even
good statesmanship.''

AGAINST CHINESE EXCLUSION.
Western Capitalists Do Not Wish Mer-
chants to Be Excluded.


Washington, April s.-The president
pro tenn laid before the senate yester-
day morning lengthy telegram of pro-
test against the pending Chinese ex-
clusion bill, signed by Claus A.
Spreckles, H. d. Scott and a dozen
other capitalists OF San Francisco, and
which characterized as gross injus
tice that provision of the measure ex-
Guiding Chinese merchants.
Patterson of Colorado presented a
petition from $40 American citizens of
Honolulu, praying for the exclusion Of
Chinese and Japanese laborers from the
United States or any of it's possessions.
A vigorous protest was made in the
senate by Cullom of Illinois against the
passage of the Chinese exclusion bill in
it's present form. Coming from the
chairman of the committee on foreign
relations, the protest made deep inn
preston on the senate. Cullom. while
expressing himself as in favor of the
exclusion of the Chinese laborers, said
many of the provisions of the pending
measure were In contravention with
our treaty obligations with China. He
urged that the United States could not
afford to ignore its solemn treaties. al
tho he conceded the authority of con-
gress to enact the proposed law If Ii
saw At to do so.
Patterson of Colorado and Perkins of
California supported the pending bill,
maintaining that in no way did it con-
travene the existing treaties, as by the
convention of 1894 China had agreed
that Chinse laborers should be exclud-
ed from this country. The bill was
drastic in its provisions, they admitted,
but no more so than was necessary to
eliminate the possibility of fraud.

MAS ORDERED 70 KILL
Major Waller Takes Stand in
His Own Behalf at
Manila.
He Fiercely Contradicted Gen.
Smiths Testimony-Told
to Kill.
Declares Smith Said He Wanted
Natives Killed and
Burned.

| Manila, April 9.--At the court martial
took the stand to rebut the evidence
given by General Smith, the military
commander of Samar, who testified
Monday that he had no knowledge of
the killing of natives by Major Walters
command until he was informed of the
facts by General Chaffee.
Major Waller fiercely contradicted
General Smiths testimony. He de-
clared that General Smith said to him:
Il wish you to kill and burn. The
more you kill the more you will please
me. The interior of Sanar must be
made bowling wilderness. Kill every
native over 10 years Old"
Captain D. d. Porter, of the marine
corps. testified that he had overheard
General Smiths order to kill and burn
just after the Balangiga massacre.
Lieutenant Frank Halford, of the
marine corps, also testified that General
Smith had ordered Major Waller to kill
all natives over 10 years of age. Major
Waller, he added, did not agree with
the order, and he ordered Captain Por-
ter not to kill old men, women and chill
dren.
The defense requested that sub
pnna be served on the adjutant gener-
al, demanding the production of the
records of the massacre at Balangiga of
the detachment of the Ninth Infantry,
in order to refute the statement of
General Smith to the effect that the at
tack on the troops was made according
to the laws of war. The request was
granted.
