ALEXANDRIA, Mimi, April 5.-Sheriff
Lundgren and Deputy Sheriff Hall went
to the scene of the Johnson murder in
the town of LIE Grande yesterday The
boy Larson had told the sheriff where he
had thrown the revolver the day of the
shooting, while on his way to Alexandria,
and the gun was found just as he said.
He had also told where he had thrown
the pocl1etbook taken from the dead man,
but it could not be found, although
searched for The object of the trip yes
terday was to find this pocketbook, and.
it was discovered about thirty-five feet
from where he said it fell, and where 1t
had evidently been carried by the squir-
rels. The leather was almost eaten away,
but the steel clasps were left. The boy
said it was just such book as he took
from the old man.
The boy had also said that after the
shooting he ran acrosss the field in q
diagonal direction to the road The
tracks We're founu just as he said, and
as if made by man running and they
were just such as would have been made
by the shoes worn by Larson.
The boys story has been borne out in
about all details by good circumstantial
evidence. Larson does not seem to
know how TO lie and to be either heart
less or utterly lacking in the knowledge
of right and wrong.

DEBATE ON EXCLUSION ACT.
Senator Fairbanks Speaks at Some
Length, Urging Its Passage.

WASHINGTON, April 5.-During the
debate on the Chinese exclusion bill Mr.
& airbanks maintained that the United
States had an absolute right to enact
zenship against communicating influences
from any quarter of the globe. Indeed
1t was plain and imperative duty Of
| congress to preserve the purity of the
currents which vitality affect the stand
ard Of our citizenship. To do this con
gress had enacted laws prohibiting the
admission to this country of many
classes OF persons, and in enacting these
| laws congress simply was exercising the
law of sovereignty.
1.-The pending BILL" said ne, lis not a
departure from the well settled and well
known policy of the government. A
low wage market is neither to the adj
vantage of capital nor labor Our course
is not dictated by any i'll will toward the
Chinese empire. We wish to see our
country grow in power, not in numbers
only, for we do not find in mere num-
bers our greatest national strength and
the character and quality Of those who
constitute the 100000 of American citt-
zenS.
1--WE can conceive no worse misfor
tune" declared Mr.. Fairbanks, than a
great country with labor unemployed. A
surplus in. the labor market is one Of
the serious probabilities that often faces
us"
After discussing our treaty with Chi
na showing that the proposed leg1sla-
ton was not in contrayention of it, and
that Chinese exclusion practically had
been acquiesced in by China, Mr.. Fair
banks concluded as follows:
THAT the congress has the most plen-
airy power to enact into law the bill
before us there can be no doubt, for
the power to exclude undesirable immi-
grants is an inherent attribute Of ma
tional sovereignty"

The Bill in the Senate.
Opposition to the Cuban reciprocity bill
in the senate Is beginning to show it's
hand Senator Platt, of Connecticut,
chairman of the committee on relations
with Cuba, has received two formal no.
tees from his colleagues. One, from
Democratic senator's, is that they will
fight reciprocity at every stage and have
formed a compact for that purpose. The
other comes from several leading Repub-
Hcan members who will offer an amend
ment to the bill providing that there shall
be no reciprocity until Cuba makes @
treaty with the United States embedy-
ing the tex. Of the Platt amendment.
Both notices mark the beginning Of the
fight which will be made in the senate
ment which outlined the relations which
should exist between the United States
and Cuba, was primarily framed with the
purpose Of preventing Cuba from making
demands upon this government under a
threat to violate the Monroe doctrine by
entering into relations with Germany or
some other European power.
The Cuban congress finally adopted the
Platt amendment and Incorporated it into
the Cuban constitution. The amendment
also provided, however, that it should be
made the basis Of treaty with the Unit
ed States as soon as Cuba enjoyed inde-
pendent government
How the Cubans stand.
Senator Plat was informed, that unless
this treaty was formulated before reel
procity was granted there would be serI-
Gus doubt as to It's negotiations. He was
told that the Cubans were not to be
trusted, and their attempt to nulIify the
plain meaning of the Plat amendment
was quoted to him as evidence Of their
want Of good faith. He was also notified
that prominent Republicans. who shared
in the suspicion of Cuban honesty, would
oppose the reciprocity measure to the last
ditch unless the Plat amendment was
protected, and that he might prepare to
face a fight in his own party unless action
along this line was accepted by him.
Senator Plat agreed to give this phase
of the case his honest consideration. al
though he suggested that if reciprocity
was not to be enjoyed by Cuba until the
treaty had been signed and ratified, 10

"And besides he Is quoted as saying,
IF reciprocity becomes dependent upon

The attitude of Democratic senators Is
something Of a surprise. In the house
the Democrats have given their support
to the Republican proposition, although
some Of them, like Representative Nc
Clellan, assert that a. 20 per cent reduc-

1t is understood that in the senate the
Democrats will favor free trade with Cuba
and will also take the ground that the
island ought to be annexed. They argue
that the annexation Of Cuba has been
