DEMOCRATIC PRIMARIES.
PERK LITTLE INTER EST MANI-
 TESTED YESTERDAY.

One Ticket in All the Other Districts"- Candidates for Aidermen Nominated in Odd Nunbe Wnrds-Deiegates to the City Convention Elected. The democratic primaries held yester- day afternoon and last evening in all the wards in the city were very tame affairs in nearly all the wards, although in four wards there were contests that somewhat resembled the old time ward eombats.
 In the odd numbered wards the First, Third, Fifth, Seventh, Ninth, Eleventh, Thirteenth and Fifteenth, candidates for aldermen were nominated since un~ der the charter amendment passed by the last legislature which abolishes the board of eounclmen it is provided that this year aldermen shall be elected from the odd numbered wards and six aldermen at large. In all the even numbered wards, therefore, the only work of the primaries yesterday was to elect delegates to the city conven- tion which will nominate candidates for aldermen at large.
 Yesterday was the first time that the new law concerning voting from regis tration lists has been i'll operation and so far as could be learned last night there were few attempts to vote by those who had not registered.
 The only contests were in the Fourth, Fifth, Seventh and Eleventh wards and in each of the other wards there was only one ticket and consequently a very small vote.
 The contest in the Fourth ward was bet tween John J. Sprightly and James R. Maxwell for endorsement for candi- date for alderman at large. The Sprightly ticket won by a vote of 2os to ITS.
 In the fifth ward the contest was be- tween Edward J. Minnix and James H. Galligan candidates for the nomination for alderman from that ward. The Gal ligan ticket won by vote of S364
 In the Seventh ward there were two tickets, one for James Logan for alder man and the other for Henry c. O'Sul- livan for that nomination. Nearly the entire registered vote was boiled and the Logan ticket won by a vote of 262 221,
 The city convention for nomination of for aldermen at large has not been called yet The convention will nominate four candidates and among the candidates who have thus far been mentioned are John J. Spright- ly and James R. Maxwell of the Fourth ward, Edward J. Minnnix of the Fifth,

FULL CHINESE EXCLUSION
PRACTICALLY UNANIMOUSLY RE-
 PORTED TO THE HOUSE.

Chinese Laborers he Completely Ex- 1 ciuded Both from the Mainland of the
 United States and All Insular Possess sions, Including tho Philippines and Hawaii-Porto Rico Also stricken from List of Entry Ports.
 Washington, March 25.-The House committee on foreign affairs to-day completed consideration of the Chinese exclusion bill and by practically unanimous vote ordered it favorably re- ported to the house, The measure comes from the committee with quite number of changes.
 The exclusion of Chinese laborers is made complete both as to the mainland territory of the United States and all insular possessions, including the Phil ippines and Hawaii. The committee finally restored the prohibitory clause recommended by the Pacific coast sena- tors and members, so that as reported it reads:
 And the prohibition shall apply to all Chinese laborers, as well as those who were in such insular possessions at the time of acquisition by the United States as to those who have come there since, and those who may be born there hereafter"
 In addition the committee framed new section, specifically directing the Philippine commission to put the ex- clusion law into force. San Juan, Por- to Rico, was struck out from the list of ports where Chinese may enter, as it was feared there would be Chinese influx at that point.
 Other more important changes made by the committee are as follows: Ger tificates of Identification of Chinese must be accompanied by photographs, at the expense of the Chinese. In addi tion to San Francisco and the other ports specifically mentioned for the ex animation and admission of certain Chinese, the commissioner general of immigration is authorized to designate such other ports as may be necessary.
 The committee considered that the original bill was too severe in making it felony for any official to neglect to detin a Chinese person seeking admis- sion and the penalty was reduced to a misdemeanor. The original bill also subjected a vessel to forfeiture in case if brought over forbidden Chinese, but the committee changed this to a fine of S2,000 against the master or owner of the vessel, and forfeiture in case the fine is not paid.
 The prohibition against Chinese sail ors on American ships was struck out. thus permitting such Chinese sailors to be employed. The term Chinese was made to include all those who are Chi nese by birth or descent, leaving out the reference to mixed, full blood, etc
 After reporting the bill on Thursday, Chairman Hit is hopeful of bringing it to early consideration before the house.

CUBAN RECIPROCITY MUDDLE
ANOTHER CONFER ENCE AT WHITE
 HOUSE LAST NIGHT.

President Continues His EndeavOr to
 Convert Opposing House Members to
 His Belief That Reliefs fshould be Given
 Additional Information Regarding
 Serious Conditions im tho Island.
 Washington, March 25.-Another con- ference was held at the White house to- night on the subject of Cuban reciprec- ity and was participated in by the pres ident and the house leaders, including Chairman Payne and Messrs. Dalzell and Long, of Kansas, of the ways ana means committee, and Mr. Cannon, the chairman of the republican caucus The mepbers came at the invitation of the president and remained with him for an hour.
 The conference was a sequence to that held yesterday by the president with those congressman opposed to the 20 per cent reduction.
 Since the arrival in Washington of General Wood and President-E Elect Palma the president has received a great deal of additional information re- garding affairs in Cuba and is strength ened in his belief that greater conces- sions even than that proposed by the ways and means committee bill should be given to Cuba for a time. It is probable that representations of this character were made to the congress- men tonight, but, if so, they decline to admit it.
 One of those present after the confer ence said: "No time has as yet been fixed for considering the reciprocity bill in the house. I have no doubt an op- will be made to amend the bill along various lines, but my opinion it that it will be adopted substantially as agreed on by the ways and means
