Sprung and Rushed Through Lower

Washington, April S.-The house
yesterday passed the Chinese exclu-
sion bill after Incorporating in it sew.
eral amendments which increased the
drastic character of the measure. The
principal one not only excludes chi
nese by birth and descent, but all Chi
nese Of mixed blood. The chief strug-
gle was over an amendment to pro-
hibit the employment Of Chinese sail
ors on American ships. An amend
ment covering this proposition at first
was ruled out on point of order,
but subsequently was modified to
evade the ruling, and was adopted
100 to "A.

enacts all the existing exclusion laws
and incorporates with them the ex
listing treasury regulations. 1t eX-
tends these exclusion laws to the
Philippines and the other possessions

nese laborers in our colonial posses
sions coming into this country. The
Philippine commission, by the terms Of
the bill, is directed to adopt proper
measures for the enforcement of the
provisions OF the bill in the Philip

ference report on the bill to reduce

called bucket shops was retained. The
conferees struck out that provision. i

today, as it was thought to intro

When Religion Failed.

A Wyncote man has little fox ter

1t followed him 20 church last Sunday,
and three times was elected. Nothing
daunted, it made a fourth attempt,
and this time effected an entrance
through a side door, whence it made
it's way to it's masters pew. Just then
the minister began to pray, and, Think
ing that a favorable moment for ac-
ton, while the heads of the congrega-
ton were lowered, the man grasped
the dog by the back of the neck and
marched down the aisle. Halfway to
the door the animal let out a howl
that STARTLED the congregation and
nearly broke mp the services. In the
rear of the church were several cadets
from the Cheltenham Military acad-

re-entered, very red in the face, one

they live in La Belle France? In New
York the weed we call spinach would
constitute the knife and fork of gal
linaceous biped as well as it's digestive
apparatus. That is, there is enough
sand in basket of spinach in the New
York market to restock the craw and
gizzard of a barnyard rooster. A mis-
cradle little handful of this silicated,
moth-eaten stuff is sold for Is cents.
When cooked it makes dab that will
