WILL NOT KEEP
CHINESE OUT
Senator Turner Says Exclusion
Bill Is InvaIidated.
ACT A POLITICAL MEASURE
IT Is A SHARP CONTRAST FROM
THE GEARY LAW.

HTASHINGTON, April 15.-The de-
w bate on the Chinese exclusion bill

viii begin at 10 O'Clock tomorrow. By
general consent vote was taken today
on two important amendments offered
by Mr.. Fairbanks of Indiana. striking
out the definition as to Chinese students

without division.
These changes were made with a view
to Teconciling some Of the opposition
10 the measure. which has been directed
against the rigid restrictions on stu
dents and teachers. and the alleged IN
necessary Inconvenience this would inn
pose on the educated Chinese classes
coming to this country. The debate
was participated m by Senator Heit-
field Of Idaho, Senators PenrOse Of
Pennsylvania and Turner of Washing
ton in favor Of the bill and Senator
Pritchard of North Carolina and Sen
ato- SDOoner of Wisconsin in opp0si-
ton.
Mr. Turner made the assertion that
politics had crept into the discussion,
and that most Of the senators Of the
majority were opposed to the bill This
brought out a sharp rejOinder from Mr..
SpOOneT. who maintained that politics
had not figured in the discussion. and
that the opposition TO the present bill
vas due entirely to its conflict with the
treaty, anu not because Of any OppOsi-
ton to Chinese exclusion, which was an
established doctrine of the govern

Turner Is to Answer.

As Mr. SpOOner proceeded he had
frequent sharp parliamentary ex-
changes with Mr.. Patterson of Colorado
and Mr.. Mitchell Of Oregon on Incl
dental features of the bill Respond
ing to Mr.. SpoOner, Mr.. Plat said that
while he did not consider it necessary
20 do So he would accept the sugges-
ton and insert in his substitute a spe-
CifiC provision continuing in effect the
Scott act Of 1855. He also agreed TO a
suggestion maue by Mr.. Lodge. extend
ing the provisions of the substitute to
the insular possessions of the United
states. and to Chinese coming to the
mainland of the United States from
those insular possessions
AR Turner had been a somewhat inn
patient listener to the effort to perfect
the substitute. and when Mr. Plat
yielded the floor he complained that in
asmuch as Mr.. Spooner had made fire.
Quent reference to him. the brushing
aside" Of himself had been discourteous.
Mr.. Plat replied that such had not
been his intention, and it was arranged
that the senate should advance for an
other hour the time for converting to-

an opportunity TO be heard thus max

Turner and spoOner at odds.

Mr.. Turner disclaimed any purpose TO
impUte unworthy motives to sena tors.
Not q breath of party division had Oc-
Cured on this measure. continued Mr..
SpOOner, until the senator from Wash
ingtOn had injected il into the discus
sion, evidently with the belief that
when he left the Republican party all
its virtue departed with him. The Re
publican party needed no defense, Mr..
SpOoner said. against the charge that
it opposed effective Chinese exclusion.
Strike from the statute books what
that party had enacted for the prOtec-
ton Of the American wage-earner, and
but little would remain.
The senator declared that the time
would never come when our people
would admit the Chinese, no matter
what steamship company or what rail-
road company desired it. The exclusion
of Chinese was a definite and estab-
lished policy, and he and his associates
on the Republican side of the chamber
did not yield TO the senator from Wash
ington in the determination to keep the
Chinese from our shores. But, Mr..
SpOOneT said. he believed i'm keeping
treaty obligations and either there
should be exclusion consistent with our
treaty or else. if necessity required.
there should be an abrogatiOn Of that
treaty.

Politics in the Bill.

The bill had no politics in it when il
came from the committee. said Mr.
Turner. 1t was measure for the pro-
lection of the people of our land. From
the time 1t was reported, however. sen
timent has been crystallzing on the Re
publican side of the chamber. until the
measure hardly had a friend on that
side, save among the members Of the
committee. Politics had creDt in, the
senator declared, in spite Of the efforts
to keep it out. The powerful corpora
tions had been heard from; the "busi-
ness interests" had been heard from.
The great transcontinental railroads
and the steamship companies were OPP
posed to exclusion. and. in his judg-
ment, their opposition had taken the
form of the proposed sUbtitute for an
extension Of the present Law. The sub
stitute was an announcement TO China
and the laboring people of this country
that no exclusion would be undertaken
without the consent Of China.
Mr.. Turner closed with an expression
of amazement at the tendency to quote
history IN favor of China. and
compared this with the bloody work of
China two years ago when the United
states minister was prisoner at Pekin.
Mr.. SDOOner of Wisconsin expressed
tisfaction with the pending bill,
and also with the substitute He was
sstonished to hear from the Washing
ton senator, Mr.. Turner. an imputatiou
