The argument advanced in favor of the
amendment was that it was against the
fundamental principles of a Republic to
permit DETERMINATIONS by transportation
companies or commerce carriers on ac-
count ofirase orIcolor.
The delegation charged that the Jim
Grow" cars which were required by the
laws of several Southern States were dis
ordinations which were offensive and
humiliating to the colored race. 1t
urged the adoption of the Murray amend
ment, claiming that IL would put stop
to the unjust and humiliating discrimina-
tion by making Jim Crow" cars unlaw-
full in interstate commerce.
Strenuous objection to the present
method Of running Jim Crow cars in

the Southern States was made by former
Representative White of North Carolina.
Mr.. White, the only colored man to oc-
cupy a seat in the House for a number
of years. was the principal speaker.
He appealed to the committee to rec
ommend a change that will compel the
railroads to furnish a riding place for
colored persons where they can be free
from the element that is to be found
in smoking car"
He said that 1t was useless to take the
matter into the courts, for his twenty
three years experience in the courts Of
North Carolina had taught him that in
differences between the colored man and
the white mar the former never had any
redress in the South.
The committee adjourned without TAX
ing any action.

AMERICA CHINA's ONLY FRIEND.
Other Powers Insist on Extorting Full
Indemnity

PEKIN, July THAT taotai of Shanghai
has notified the bankers commission that
China refuses to pay the July installment
of the indemnity except at the rate of ex-
change prevailing April l. 1901. The for
eign ministers consider that the taotais
declaration is the result of the announce
ment of the United States minister, Mr..
Conger, to the Chinese government, that
the United States sustains China's corr
tenton, and is willing to accept payment on
the basis mentioned. But the ministers are
confident that China Will accept the de-
cision of the majority of the ministers
when she is convinced that the United
States is her only supporter.
Some of the ministers insist that the
policy of the United States is unreason-
able and in direct opposition to the terms
OF the protocol. They assert that Prince
Chlng, head OF the foreign office, and other
Chinese officials before learning that China
had the support of the United States In
this matter. admitted that their arguments
were rather plea for mercy than a de-
mand for justice.

NAVAL APPROPRIATION BILL
Conferees Reached Agreement on the
Point in Dispute at Noon.

The conferees of the two houses of Con-
gress on the naval appropriation bill reach
ed an agreement at Il o'clock today on the
one point left in dispute after former con-
ferences This point related to the con-
tention between the two houses as to
whether any of the proposed new war YES
sells should be built in government navy
yards. The House had originally provided
that half of them should be constructed in
government yards and the other half by
contract. The Senate provided for the con.
struction of all by contract. The compro-
mise agreement authorizes the construction
OF one battle ship in a government ward
and also others in case of emergency the
provision being as follows:
The Secretary of the Navy shall build
one of the battle ships authorized by this
act in such navy yard as he may designate
and he shall build all the vessels herein
authorized in such navy yards as he NAV
designate, should it reasonably appear that
the persons, firms or corporations or the
agents thereof bidding for the construction
OF any of said vessels have entered into
any combination, agreement or understand
ing, the effect, object or purpose of which
Is to deprive the government of fair omen
and unrestricted competition in letting con-
tracts for the construction of any of said
vessels"
There is an appropriation of S175OOO for
the equipment of each navy yard to he
used for constructing any of the ships

ALL READY TO ADJOURN.
Resolution Reported to End the Ses
sion at $50 O'Clock.

AT noon Senator Lodge, who was In
charge of the Philippine civil government
bill, expressed the opinion that the Senate
would adjourn for the session TODAY by <
or $50 o'clock The conference report on
the Philippine bill had then Just been read
1t was not the intention Of the Massa chu-
setts senator to enter upon any detailed
statement concerning the terms of the
agreement, but to answer any questions
that might be asked. The democratic mem
bers of the committee expected, however
to present some remarks upon the question
but not at length. They had no idea, they
said, Of saying anything that would pro-
long the session.
The only other bill upon which there
was at that time any dispute was the naval
appropriation bill and it was announced
that the conferees had settled the contro-
verted point about the construction of war
ships in government yards by agreeing
that one of the proposed vessels should be
SO constructed. 1t was not believed that
this adjustment would lead to extended dis
cussion. Senators generally agreed that
Senator Lodges statement was conserva-
tive and that 1t was entirely feasible to
conclude the session before adjournment
today.
The ways and means committee of the
House met at o'clock this afternoon and
ordered favorably reported a resolution for
sine die adjournment at $50 pm. today.
A moment later Mr.. Payne presented the
resolution in the House
President Roosevelt notified Speaker Hem
derson and President Pro. Tenn. Frye that
he would be at the Capitol at 4:3O this af-
ternoon to sign belated bills

der and shot one of them dead. On April
3, 1891, McAllister was mustered out OF
the service. Chief Kfdward will hold the
man until an investigation can be made.
