CHINESE EXCLUSION
on Bill by Committee
Some New Features.

washington, March 13.-The senate
committee on immigration has agreed to
report the Mitchell Kahn Chinese exclu-
sion bill. Tt is substantially the same as
the coast committee, only a few verbal
corrections having been made. A point
which occasioned much consideration by
the committee was whether Chinese
should be excluded from the Philippines
or whether the whole proposition should
be left to the Philippine commission. The
committee agreed to retain the provision
Of absolute exclusion. Aiding in the es-
ca pc OF Chinese held in detention is made
felony punishable by both fine and inn
prisonment A new provision applies the
exclusion provisions of the bill to Chi
nese who enter as merchants, students
and the like and who become laborers.
