Washington, May "a lively debate
was precipitated in the senate yester-

course OF discussion OF the Philippine
bill. He suggested that some OF the
methods employed by the opponents OF
the bill in this country ought TO be re-
formed. and told of what is called the
sand cure in North Carolira, the VIC
tim having his face crushed into the
sand to stifie his cries. while he was

Uniform of the Yacht C,ub

At the dinner given to Prince Henry
by Mr.. and Mrs. Cornelius Vanderbilt,
Jr., Mr.. Vanderbilt wore a dress suit
which had gold buttons on the coat and
waistcoat. Much comment was caused
thereby. and II was said the young
millionaire was attempting to set a
new style for mems evening wear. The
simple fact was that Mr. Vanderbilts
gold buttoned dress suit was the regu-
lation full-dress uniform of the New
York Yacht club, TO whose house he
accompanied Prince Henry later in
the evening.-New York Times.

In the senate.
Washington. Arril 30. Two impor-
tant measures-the olcomargarine bill
and the Chinese exclusion bill--yeSter-
day were passed by congress and go to
the president for his signature.
In the case OF the oleomargarine bill
the senate concurred in the house
amendments, which act finally passed
the measure. Mr.. CulbeTson of Texas
moved that 1t be referred to the COM
mittee on agriculture. The motion was
defeated-26 TO 80.
An effort was made by Mr.. Teller OF
Colorado TO amend the measure so as
to levy a tax of 10 per cent of the CAPT.
tai or assets on any butter trust that
might be formed. 1t was defeated.
Mr.. Cockrell of Maine interposed
with a motion 10 agree to the house
amendments ami the motion was
agreed to without division, thus passing
the bill. .
Mr.. Platt OF Connecticut presented
the conference report on the Chinese
exclusion bill He briefly explained
that after "a somewhat strenuous dis
cussion," the confeTees had agreed that
no definite limitation should be placed
upon the Geary law as re-enacted, but
that II should remain in force until
otherwise provided by the operation OF
the law in the Philippines, including a
registration of the Chinese in the
islands, had been placed in the hands
of the Philippine commission, but the
commission would have no au .hority to
admit Chinese to the islands. The SEN
ate, without debate, adopted the con-
ference report on the exclusion bill.
Mr.. Simmons of North Carolina add
dressed the senate in opposition to the
Philippine government bill.
In the House.
Representative Sibley of Pennsyl-
vania created something of a sensation
in the house yesterday during the gen.
eral debate on the agricultural appro-
priation bill by severely denouncing
Gen. Jacob II. Smith for the orders he
issued In the Samar campaign. He de-
Clared that Gen. Smith was a disgrace
TO the uniform he wore and expressed
the hope that the president would strip
him of lis uniform within forty eight
hours. Mr.. Sibley's speech was en-
Enthusiastically applauded by the Demo-
Gratis and was received with some evil
dences OF approval on the Republican
side. The speech was considered the
more remarkable in that II came from
Republican who left the Democratic
party on the issues raised by the Span
ish war, and who since has been an
ardent expansionist.

Empire Athletic club in the sixth
round of one of the fiercest bouts ever
fought in this city. Both men were
forced to take a severe drubbing and
Weinigs defeat came after a display
of gameness rarely equalled In the
prize ring. Twice in the sixth round
he was knocked TO his knees by Choyn-
skis rights and lefts 10 the jaw, but
each time he came up ready for more
punishment. He vas too dazed, how
ever, to defend himself, and Choynski
finally beat him down, landing him
against the ropes unable to move. II
was several minutes before he was
able to rise and even then he was bad
ly dazed, for when Choynski attempted
to shake hands with him, Weinig
squared OFF ready to continue in the
fighting, unconscious that ne had been
counted out.
