GEARY LAW EXPIRES MAY 5.
House Will Accept Senate Substl-
tute to Head off Cinnamon.
EXTENDS TO OUR ISLANDS.

Wash. agton, April 10. The members
of the house who have been chiefly in
terested in the Chinese exclusion bill,
after formal conferences, decided to
accept the senate substitute, continu-
ing in force the present laws and
applying them to our insular posses
sions.
Representative Kahn Cali who in
troduced the drastic exclusion bill in
the house, and Representative Coombs
Cali who aided in perfecting it, both
expressed the view that the senate
measure should be accepted as the best
measure obtainable within the few
days remaining before the Geary law
expires by limitation. This view was
made known to Representative Per-
kins, of New York, who reported the
house exclusion bill from the foreign
affairs committee, and an informal
understanding was reached that, if the
California members were willing to ac-
ccpt the senate substitute, this course
undoubtedly would be taken by the
committee and the house.
"The senate substitute, as finally
amended, really gives us all we want
except in emitting the sailors clause, !"
SAID Mr.. Kahn, ''and it is much more
drastic than is generally understood.
1t goes much further than the original
Platt substitute, and by re-enacting the
present law and the law of 1888, eX
tending them to our island possessions
and continuing these laws indefinitely,
we get almost, if not quite, as much as
we did by the original bill. But, in
any event, as the present exclusion
law runs out on May 5, it would be
desirable to accept the senate substi-
tutc, for, if we were a single day
without an exclusion law, thousands
of Cinnamon would cross the border
from Canada"

PLEAD FOR GEN. MILES.
The General Sends Promises to Keep Abb
soIutely Silent.

Washington, d. c., April 2l.-Four
Republican senator's went to the White
House and urged the president to per-
init General Miles to remain undis-
turbed ut the head of the army.
President Roosevelt, in reply, ex-
planned some of the reasons why he
believed General Miles had destroyed
his usefulness and why the good of the
service demands his retirement The
president explained that he had no
personal luminosity toward General
Miles, but that he could not reconcile
with his duty any characterization on
the part of officers of any rank. He
|. said that while violations of the ar
ticles of war by few of our soldiers
in the Philippines was bad enough and
should be vigorously punished, it was a
small matter compared with subver-
sion of discipline at the very head of
the army itself. The president brought
to the attention of his callers the charge
which has been made that General
Miles has acted with members of the
Philippine committee in trying to dis
credit the army, and asked if that sort
of tqng was to be tolerated.
The senators told the president that
they were authorized by friends of
General Miles to say theat the general
had agreed to say and do nothing in
the future; that he was willing to keep
absolutely silent, and that he would
do his best to so conduct himself as to
meet with the presidents approval.
Upon hearing this President Roose-
welt promised to take no action sat
present" and there the matter rests.
