/ WASHINGTON, March l2.- Over

1t Is understood that Chairman
Payne and Representative Dalzell
made overtures toward the agreement
One OF the leading members Of the
opposition said that Payne and Dali
xell had made the suggestion to him
and had asked for an answer This
was followed by hasty canvass OF
the opposition members which devei-
oped wide difference OF views. Rep.
resentative William Smith said no
compromise would be accepted untp
at q meeting where 1t could be con,
sldered deliberately.
Representative Tawney said lin
itation Of time was immaterial and
that no compromise could be effS cted
which affected manufactured products
without similarly eftecting manufae-
tured products.
After the overturcs of compromise
were made leaders OF element opposed
to the Ways and Means committee
called conference. Some 80 members
were present and the discussion last
ed about two hours, Sentiment was
rather unfavorable to accepting the
plan OF 20 per cent reduction for the
year from next December. But 1t was
urged against this course that so long
as overtures for adjustment had been
made in good faith, 1t was only prop
er to meet the committee representing
the Ways and Means. and Payne and
his associates therefore were advised
that they would be met by a commit
tee from the other side.
It was stated by the Ways and
Means committee members that the
compromise plan would AFFECT two

sion he announced that he could see

on the Mitchell

Certain Cases Where VOy-

WASHINGTON. March l2.--The SEN
ate committee on migration has agreed
TO report favorably the Mitchell bin
for Chinese exclusion. II In substanti-
ally the same as the modified bill sub
mitied by the Pacific coast committee.
only a few verbal corrections having
been made. The point which occas-
loned much consideration by the COM
mittee was whether or not the Chinese
should be excluded from the Philip
pines or whether the whole proposition
should be left 70 the Philippine COM
mission. The committee agreed 10 re-
tain the proposition of absolute ex-
clusion. taking the ground that the
United States wanted TO retain the
Philippines for the Fiiipinos and that
the latter was as much opposed to
the admission Of the Chinese as were
Americans Another section OF the DiH
about which the committee debated at
length was that excluding Chinese
sailors at all points from the Amerl-
can ships register This proposition
was retained in the bill but with q
proviso to the effect that in case of ac-
eldent, siress Of weather or serious
illness the captain Of vessel may
ship Chinese crew for a voyage upon

The new provision applies the exciu.
sion provisions Of the bill to Chinese
who enter as merchants, students and
the like and become laborers.

The Lambertville record. [volume] (Lambertville, N.J.) 1872-1968, 1902-07-09

In recalling the lively and pictur-
esque incidents which the old timers
enjoyed In Washington one is moved
almost to tears over the commonplace
nature of his own times. John Adams
used to bathe In the Potomac every
morning at daylight because they had
no bathtub in the White House. and
no one ever pulled kodak on him.
President Taylor used to walk about
the town and stop and chat with every
one he met, like policeman. A recep-
ton In the White House In these days
Is relieved of monotony only by the
great crush of guests, who trample the
clothes off one another's backs. An
other president set UP in the east room
six hundred pound cheese and In
vited the multitude to come In and help
itself, which the multitude proceeded
to do.

Nflsned a Good Dinner.

A doctor living in a certain country
town was VIGOROUSLY fond Of good liv-
ing. He had accepted an invitation to
dine with friends. but as he climbed
their steps he smelt venison cooking in
the kitchen next door.
The neighbors being also his frienes
he resolved to drop In on them unex-
pectedly to partake of the venison.
They pressed him TO share their In
formal dinner, but when he refused
both soup and fish his host began to
apologize for the simple fare.
The doctor then confessed that he
was waiting for the venison, which he
had smelt as he came In.
"Oh, that venison," said his enter
tainer. I'VE were roasting to obllge our
neighbors, who have a dinner party
next door."-London Answers.
