EXCLUSION
SENATE APPOINTS CONFERENCE
COMMITTEE.
1t Is Believed the House VIII Have
To Recede From It's Position or No
Bill Will Be Passed.

WASHINGTON, April l9.-President
Frye today appointed Senators Platt,
Dillingham; and Clay COnferees on the
part of the Senate to confer with Rep
resentatives Hit, Perkins and Clark
on the Chinese exclusion bill Frye in
naming the cOnferees said be felt con-
strained to appoint a majority from
among the men who stood for the bill
that passed the Senate rather than
from members of the Committee on
immigration who would naturally be
appointed.
The appointment of Platt and Dill
lingham means that the Senate will
not recede an inch in its bill and that
the House conferees will have to give
away if a Chinese exclusion bill is
passed during this session. There is
small dOubt-nOne, in fact-that the
House will recede. Some local fire
who has taken upon himself the bogus
role of sole friend of the laboring man
on behalf of the Democratic party.
Clark may try to cucumber the bill
with the sailors clause and other
amendments at the behest of the DEM
ocratic California commission which
has succeeded in inducing the labor
leaders here to believe that the sailors
clause is demanded by California.
II may dS wen Dt uuutIolbON' llON
ever, that if California does want this
she will not get it, On this point the
Senate is firm. Most Senators do not
believe that California is asking for
this, and some declare that the inclu-
sion of the sailors clause in the Chi
nese bill would work direct benefit to
the British commercial interests at
Vancouver at the expense Of San Fran
cisco and other American ports.
The Treasury Department, anticipat-
ing the passage of the Chinese eXclu-
sion bill as framed by the Senate, is
preparing to draft the regulations re-
quired to carry the laws into effect in
the Philippines and other insular ter
ritories, as we'll as to perfect the regu-
lations in this country. In view of the
probable decision of the Supreme Court
declaring the act of September 13, 1888,
invalid, a new regulation regarding the
transit of Chinese will probably be
drawn up ready for issuance Otter the
passage of the new bill The new bill
gives the Secretary of the Treasury
much more authority in the way of
prescribing regulations than he has
had heretofore, and the result will be
the better enforcement of the exclusion
laws.

GOT A RECEPTION
IEPERS CHEERFUL GREETING
FOR McVEIGH.
a Resolution Asking Him to Resign
Before His Appointment Took Effect
The Knockers Meeting.

superintendent Jack McVeigh of the
leper Settlement got a cordial recep-
tiOn when he landed on MOlOkai, aC-
COrding to reports that have been re-
Ceived here. He was jOyfully rendered
a set of resolutions asking him to go
back. 1t appears that in the removal
of Reynolds the knockers did not ac-
CompHsh oil they wanted to accom-
plish. They are said to have had an
other candidate in view and when they
heard 0f the appointment of MCVeigh
they got together, in a mass meeting
that is said to have much resembled
that of the famous three tailors of
ToOley street, and resolved that Nc
Weigh should go way back and resign.
The resolution was all ready for Nc
Weigh when he landed, and he was Civ
en- at the start touch of the troubles
that have so long harassed Reynolds.
After various "Whereases,' the meet
ing of the knockers resolved that
MCVeigh should resign before his ap-
pOintment took effect, which is to be
May T. and they lost no time in aC-
quainting him with their interesting
decision.
McVeigh didn't seem to be bothered
by the sO-Called mass meeting. He is
still at the Settlement, preparing to
take hold of the active management on
the first of the month. He has the
support of the Board, and the kickers
kick in vain. When the Board meets
again, it will probably receive another
batch of memorials, with the familiar
name of Ambrose Hutchinson attached
to them, and with McVeigh substituted
for Reynolds as an object of COM
plants. AS McVeigh has not yet done
anything at ALL not even having taken
charge, no very grave charges can be
preferred against him. The men who
are engineering the campaign are said
to have Charlie Wilson in view for
the job, however. and he is said to
have Hutchinson in view for the posi-
ton of assistant, hence Superintendent
MCVeigh will have his share of kicks
as Reynolds had. Hutchinson was as
sistant years ago and was discharged
by Reynolds.
Charles b. Wilson was an applicant
for the position Of superintendent when
McVeigh was appointed, and Hutchin-
sons work is said to be in his behalf.
Wilson visited the settlement some
time ago, and a leper settlement pOlit-
ical combination is reported to be the
cause of the constant kicking. 1t now
appears that the agitation is to con-
tinue against MCVeigh though the
members of the Board of Health, by
their unanimous vote for McVeigh, in
dicated that they did not favor the
candidacy of Wilson.
The matter of Father Wendelin is
another troublesome proposition for
the Board of Health. Bishop Gulstan's
attitude seems to indicate a deadlock,
though when he returns explanations
will be made which may bring him to
the Boards view of the matter. If not,
the Board can revoke his permit to
stay at the Settlement and he will have
to leave, whereupon there will be a
general. howl from his supporters.
Either way a row seems to be brewing,
while Father Wendelin shows no dis
position to refrain from making a Wig
orOus defense of his acts at the Set
tlement

TWILIGHT BACK IN PORT.

The tug Eleu arrived early this
morning from Koloa, Kauai, towing
the schooner Twilight. The schooner
was in bad shape and although a jury
uudder had been improvised, she would
not mind ner strange helm and the re-
suit was that the Eleu had q hard time
pulling the schooner along With the
heavy sea and strong trades, the
schooner was blown out of the track
OF the Eleu and there were frequently
times when the Twilight was towed al
most brOadsides. Captain McAllister
left Koloa at noon yesterday and ar
rived at a. m. today. The trip was
a very good one and much credit is due
to the Eleu people for getting the Twi-
light back. The damaged vessel was
put in ROtton Row and win shortly be
put on the Marine railway and receive
repairs

SCORES BURNED TO DEATH.

CAIRO mlD, April 2O.-One of the
worst disasters i'm the history of river
navigation occurred shortly after 4
o'clock this morning near Odgens
Landing, near this city. While almost
all on board were asleep, the steamer
City of Pittsburg was discovered to be
on fire, and in a few moments was
burned to the waters edge. The latest
estimates are that there were 15O per-
sons on board and that not more than
half of them We're saved, many of the
latter being burned or injured As the
register OF the steamer was burned, no
list can be given either of the victims
o, the survivors, and in the confusion
il has been impossible to complete lists.

THE KANALO CASE FEE

In the Supreme Court this morning
the matter Of the Kamalo attorneys
fee was brought up by f. w. Hankey
OF counsel for the defendants. George
A. Davis, who began his argument
yesterday afternoon for the plaintiffs
occupied most of the morning, closing
at about half-past eleven. During his
argument Hankey brought up the mat
ter of the fee by interrupting with a
question.
Was the KamalO Sugar Company
represented when the court awarded a
fee of 100000 to the attorneys in the
case?" asked Hankey.
Davis replied tnat the COmpany's at
torneys were present, and that the
matter of the fee was before the Su-
preme Court with the rest of the case.
He said that the award of the fee was
a part of the decree of the Circuit
judge, and that if the Supreme Court
thought the fee too large it had the
power to change it.
T. MCCants Stewart followed Davis
for the plaintiffs. When he is through
j. A. Magoon will close for the plain
tifs, after which Hankey will make
the concluding argument for the de-
PENDANTS, The court will then adjourn,
after having heard a dozen cases dur
ing the term, one of which was decided
orally. This was the case of II. Hack

College athletes are already hard at work
trying for places on the track teams in their
respective lines. The University of Ne
braska has never come TO the front in track
athletics, principally because Of the system
OF compulsory military drill, which provides
exercise for the students and takes up the
time which would otherwise be devoted to
athletics.
The Harvard foot ball defeat at the hands
OF Yale has made the track men all the
more keen for a victory, and they are
straining every nerve in the attempt to pre-
pare a victorious team for the contest with
the blue and also for the Mott Haven
games. In ell departments except the ham
mer throw the crimson team is said to be
an unusually strong one. Scheuber, Schick
and Williams are a fast trio OF spTinters,
and there are a number of fast freshmen.
Captain Lightner. Aver, Rust and Doyle are
training for the quarter mile. For the
hurdle. both high and low, Scheuber, Edison,
Mcleod, Baer and Williams are in training
Walsh, Claiming, Adams, Boynton, Behr
and Trott are the more prominen. candI-
dates for the half mile, and Caldwell, Car
ter. Buffum and Trott will try for the mile
and two miles. Four good shot putters are
numbered in the team. Tingley. schoenfuss.
Spear aud Burke. Piper, who last year car
ried on the hammer throwing honors, will
probably he on the team again this season,
but he is not considered to be the equal OF
shevlin Of Yale. There is a fine bunch OF
men out for the jumping events, and. taking
It altogether, Il looks like a good year for
Harvard. provided, OF course, that the men
improve C. we'll as IL expected.
Chicago university is reported TO have a
hne squad OF freshmen out for practice,
and much is hoped from them. In the try
out last week nothing unusual was done
but a high average OF ability was shown.
The quarter mile and high jump seemed &c
bring out better talent than the other
events. Ferriss, sullivan and Quantrell are
expected to develop well. the latter es,
peeiaily. Hall won the tW0-mils tryout.

biggest Sign in the world.

New Workers who are used to big things,
have been astonlshed during the past week
by a painted sign at the corner OF Broad
way and Spring street, covering the north
side Of two eleven-story buildings. This
sign covers 15.416 square feet Of space and
is by far the largest advertising sign ever
painted The picture is the well known
figure of sunny jim" who for so many
months has testified to the goodness Of
FORCE" not only over the entire United
States, but in the United Kingdom, as we'll.
In this picture Sunny Jim" is 112 feet
6 inches in height. His hat is II feet 6
inches tall and 10 feet broad. His nose is
10 feet long. His ear is 3 feet inches
high His arm is II feet long his legs so
feet long. His thumb extends over a space
Of feet. The height Of his collar is 10
feet inches, and his tie is feet inches
in height. His cuffs are feet inches
wide. The buttons on The coat are feet
9 inches in diameter, and his cum buttons
are feet inches in length. Sunny Jims''
feet are 20 feet long and the cane which
he carries is so feet in length. His dog,
which sports along by his, side, is AZ feet

With this enormous sign, the reading
matter Is very brief and fills but a small
part of the space. 1t is as follows:

While on the topic Of honest players AMI
errors. Il will not be uninteresting 70 re-
count how a deliberate error won for Omaha
the longest and most exciting game Of hall
ever played on the local field. II was dur
ing the slxteen-inning game with Kansas
City last summer. Frank Cenlns was play
ing third base. and was doing real we'll
for a man with a badly sp-alned arm. In
the eleventh inning Kansas City had a man
on third and one man out. The batter
boosted a high foul that came down far
back OF third base. Genlns was under IL,
and the catch looked easy. But Genins
muffed Il, and a groan went up from the
crowd II wasn't half as deep as the groan
that went up from the Kansas City bench,
for that meant the loss Of a run to them.
While Genins was waiting for the foul to
come down he saw the Kansas City runner
getting ready for a dash home. Almost
certain that he could not throw the ball
TO the plate in time to catch the runner,
owing to his sore arm, Genins deliberately
muffed the foul, took an error, and as
events subsequently proved, won the game.
That is the difference between a bralny,
honest player and one who wants to show
up well IN the average column at the end
Of the season.
