IN THE SENATE.
Senator Lodge Makes Strong Speech
Favoring Chinese Exclusion.

Washington, April 10. - Senator
Lodge made a strong speech in the
Senate, Saturday, in favor of the Chi
nese exclusion bill. He spoke with his
customary vigor and force and held the
close attention of the Senate. He de-
clared that there was no difference in
principle between the proposed bill and
existing law. He said that every sena-
tor was in favor of excluding the Chi
nese labOrer and that the only differ
ence between senators was regarding
legislative details.
The substitute bill offered by Mr..
Platt of Connecticut, extending the
present law two years was not only in
adequate, Mr.. Lodge said, but merely
put off the settlement of the question
which must inevitably be met. He
urged the exclusion of Chinese from
the Philippines, where, he declared, on
the authority of Gen. Macarthur, they
were regarded with shuddering dread.
Mr.. Lodge said he hoped to see the
bill amended in certain particulars and
he especially antagonized the particular
provision which excludes Chinese from
employment on American ships. a pro-
vision which, if adopted. would cripple
the commerce of the Pacific coast. He
pointed out the absolute necessity of
prohibiting the coming into the United
States of innumerable Chinese laborers
who would create economic conditions
with which American labor could not
compete.
Another feature of the debate was a
sharp criticism of Minister WI of Chi
ma, because of his protest made to the
secretary of state against the enact
ment of the pending bill. Mr.. Mitchell
of Oregon, and Mr.. Teller of Colorado,
sharply attacked the Chinese minister,
declaring that no self-respecting nation
would have permitted such interference
in it's legislative affairs.
Mr.. HOar and Mr.. Foraker insisted
that the Chinese minister had done no
more than his duty and that he would
have been derelict of his duty had he
done less.
