SENATE DIVIDED
y ON CHINESE BILL
Voting to Begin This Afternoon
- Substitution Measure
May Be Adopted.

me ws-Domocrat Leased Wire Service,
Washington, April 16.-At 1
o'clock this afternoon the SEN
ate will begin voting upon the Chincse
exclusion bill and all pending amend
ments 1t is admitted by friends and
opponents of the measure that the SEN
ate is pretty evenly divided.
The best available information is
that instead of adopting the bill that
was prepared by the Pacific coast rep
resentatives the senate will pass a
measure which will continue until abb
rogation of the existing treaty with
China, with provisions of the present
law prohibiting the entrance of Chi
nese together with the addition OF
some administrative features to make
evasions of the law more difficult.

Brussels, April 16.-The strike con-
tinues to spread among the woIlimen
of all classes, and should the stale
ments of the socialists prove true this
evening will see close to 100000 men
out.
Today the socialists intend to mako
formal demand in the chambers for
universal suffrage and as their demand
will doubtless be set aside it is feared
that serious results will ensue.
There are at present $4,000 men in
round numbers, on strike.
Funerals of two victims of the late
riot were held today and the bodies
taken to burial under strong mill
tary guard and followed by an i'm
mense throng. The police forbade
placing garlands on the graves The
two bodies were placed in long
trench fifty feet by eight giving the
ghastly suggestion of room for more.
The attitude of the people through
out of the city is menacing. In accord
ance with the governments desire all
converts in the city are praying for
restoration of order.

CHINKS MAKE THREATS.
Those Detained BY Uncle Sa m
Demand Release or
Deportation.

Washington, April 16.-The treasury
department has received from the col
lector of customs at San Francisco a
telegram stating that ninety-eight
Cinnamon, who are detained in deten-
tion sheds on steamship docks at San
Francisco, threaten violence If they
are not either taken back to China by
the steamship companies or are a,,ow-
ed their freedom. Several Cinnamon
who were detained have managed to
escape. and the case is giving the
treasury department some trouble.
In answer to the report of the col
lector Assistant Secretary Taylor has
wired him to make written demand
on the steamship companies for the de-
portation of the detained Cinnamon
and to further notify the companies
that the treasury department will pro-
secute them for every Chinaman who
has escaped. The Cinnamon who are
detained in the sheds have been held
there from three to nine months await
ing deportation. and the steamshl
companies have done nothing to send
them away. They came to San Fran
fcisco ostensibly for transit through
to Mexico. but the immigration Off
cials had reason to doubt the good
| faith OF those looking after their des.
! tination. which was believed to be this
country. and the Cinnamon were pre-,
vented from landing and ordered .tc
| be deported.-

For That Viaduct Bill
Which Has Failed

CITIZENS MUST
GET TOGETHER
According to Repre- sentative, 1t
the Bill Is to Be Pushed
Through, When II
Arrives.
Qsrom a STAFF Correspondent.1 }

Q'rom a STAFF Correspondent)
Columbus, April 16.-The reason
Representative Pollock has not intro
duced that bill to issue bonds for the
Lake street viaduct is because the Can
ton people have not sent it to him.
He expected somebody down from
Canton to hand him the bill, Tuesday,
but nobody came. He has read with
interest the statements of the county
commissioners in the News-Democrat
and thinks If the people cannot get to-
gether in Canton as to what they want,
they will not be in condition to make
fight in the legislature for their bill.
Mr.. Pollock says he will introduce
the measure and have it marked "by
request" Then he will see what his
constituents think about it. He has
had intimations that the bill will have
| opposition from other parts of the
county. on the theory that Canton
alone will be benefited. 1t will be nec-
essary. therefore, for the Canton peo-
pie to explain those complaints away
| IL IHey nope W nave Jue Dlll prevail.
But IL. at the outset, the Canton citi-
zens and the commissioners and coun-
Gil get into snarl about the matter.
they will have difficulty getting up any
enthusiasm at this end of the line.
The bill will be fought by citizens
from some sections Of the county.
That fact is setted. Hence the advls-
ability of getting together. If the peo-
pie of Canton divide on the PROPOSE
tion. they can hardly expect union OF
sentiment here. Till they get together
1t will be useless to send the bill. Mr..
Pollock will introduce it when it comes,
and will do his share to get it prop
erly before the legislature. He will
then send copies of it to various parts
of the county to see how the people
like it. AS 1t Is being made a county
matter, he will give everybody in the
county fair show. 1t may be said
this is the sentiment of Mr.. Metzgal
and 1t is understood that is the way
Senator Wilhelm feels about it.

control of the beef markets of the
country, they sold dressed meat at such
low price that the little slaughter
houses could not be maintained. They
have disappeared. The trust has the
trade just where 1t wants it. Some
Canton butchers believe one way to
break the power of the combine is to
go back to first principles and rebuild
the Independent butchering places.
This condition is not only confronting
local butchers, but 1t is felt all over
the country. United action on the
part of the retailers, with the aid that
the government ought to give, should
break the combine.
Meantime, Canton people are eating
less meat for the reason that IL Is too
high in price.
