EXCLUSION BILL
Was Warmly Discussed Yesterday Be-

WASHINGTON. April s--Through-
out today's session the senate Chinese
exclusion hill was under discussion.
Gallinger OF New Hampshire, and Dill
llngham, of Vermont, oruosed the bill,
and Turner. of Washington supported
it. Gallinger urged that the pending
bill was unnecessary, unjust and un-
American and was clearly in contra
vention of our treaty obligations with
China.
In an extended address Turner APP
pealed to the senate to pass the pro-
posed bill not merely for the protec-
tion of the people Of the Pacific states,
but to prevent the entire body polite
from being contaminated by Chinese.
Turner, in reply to Gallinger con-
tended that the pending bill is no
more severe than the former laws fer
restriction of Chinese immigration; in
deed, he asserted, the bill Is practical
ly a re- enactment OF existing law, ex-
cept that II Is more liberal in the ad-
mission Of Chinese merchants. He also

YOUNG PEOPLE HEAR
TEMPERANCE LECTURE
Devotional Exercises Held
at All Souls Church.
Mr.. H. ]. Sinclair in Charge-Lynching
to Be Subject of Next Sun
days Discourse.

Tcrnperance was the subject of sew
tive talks during the devotional exer-
cises held yesterday morning at All
Souls Church, under the auspices OF the
Young Peoples Christian Union OF that
congregation. During the absence Of the
pastor. the Rev. John Van schaick. jr..
who Is spending his vacation in Maine,
the services are being conducted by the
members of the union. Next Sunday the
subject of discussion will be "Lynching
and the Sin of Indifference" The prin-
cipal speaker will be Mr.. Charles W.
Fits.
The exercises yesterday were conduct
ed by Mr. II. J. Sinclair, president of
the Young Peoples Christian Union,
who read several passages of Scriptures
on the subject of intemperance. He said
that If such a thing were possible that
a living picture OF the great temperance
convention which was recently held at
Portland. would be very impressive, and
be the best OF temperance instruction.

Church always takes on the question OF
temperance. He also discussed briefly
the different agencies throughout the
world which are at work in the cause

he said, 1t must be strange man in

good TO do in this world.
There are too many, ne said, who con-
sole themselves with the thought that
this or that particular work belongs to
someone else. Persons like this, he
argued. do n great deal of harm In q
community
Mr.. Frank Everett said that the fight
of the temperance workers Is not who'll
ly against the saloons, but principally
against what is called ''the best people"
of communities. 1t Is that class, he
said, which puts temptation first in the
way of girls and boys.
This. he said. is done by example in
the homes and outside by the use of
light wines and other temptations
Boys and girls, he said. are taught to
look upon soft drinks and light wines

Mr.. Everett also referrSd to a ban

at which. he said. minister OF the
gospel presided and at which, he stated.
he was Informed light wine was served.
Mr. Charles W. Fits contended that
the seeds of temperance and temperate
habits in all things must be sown in

taught 10 govern their appetites in eat

age for legal retirement in January next.
mo power on earth can keep naval
officer in the navy after he reaches the
age of retirement said Admiral Mel
vile the other day when asked about his
retirement.
Nevertheless there is a strong move
ment on foot TO keep the distinguished
officer at his present post if way can
be found-and perhaps it may be an ap-
peal to Congress. The important changes
Admiral Melville has wrought in naval
construction are recognized all over the
world. His friends feel that with many
important matters impending. it would
be unwise to shelve a man so well versed
in scientific knowledge. 1t may be that

FILIPINOS QUICK TO
LEARN OUR METHODS
BIG COMBINE ON
NAVY CONTRACTS
Plan Calling for Separate Bids Upon
Individual Projects May Eff
feet a Saving.

The existence Of a combination formed
by leading contractors on work involv-
ing many millions of dollars under the
Navy Department has been discovered
This will probably lead TO a call for
bids separately and upon single projects
in order that the department may pro-
tect itself against an understanding
among the firms whereby some were TO
bid on certain work and refrain from
submitting proposals on other classes.
Suspect Combination.
II has been the conviction Of naval
officers that in the bidding for the large
humber of warships contracted for in
recent years Il combination may have
been formed by the leading shipbuilding
concerns, in which it was agreed that
the work should be distributed among
themselves under the terms Of a COM
mon agreement.
This combination has received n decid-
ed setback in the last year or two. wncn
contracts for warships have been given
TO concerns which had not previously
been regarded as competitors for the
highest class OF shipbuilding.
Pay Heavy for Work.
These combinations have In the past
resulted in the Government having to
pay heavily for its work. both at home
and in the insular possessions. During
the Spanish war shlpowners who had
vessels 70 dispose of had common un-
derstanding through which they were
able to dispose of the ships TO the Gov
ernment at exorbitant figures.
Under the plan for calling for sep
arato bids upon individual projects the
Navy Department expects TO save
great amount of money for the Govern
ment.

Picture of Health.

The admiral is the picture of mental
and physical vigor, and his age is the
only barrier to his keeping at his work
Indefinitely.
II is understood the officer has recelv-
turing concerns which are anxious to
secure his services if he is forced to
retire.
Rear Admiral Melville is watching the
reports Of the Baldwin-Ziegler Arctic
expedition dissensions with considerable
interest. He has expressed the opinion
that the expedition was entirely too
luxuriously fitted out for the rough work
planned.
