In the Senate,

Washington, Dec. 10. - The senate
devoted most of the day to the immi-
grafton bill and adopted a number OF
amendments. There was considerable
discussion of an amendment offered by
Mr.. Burton of Kansas to admit Chi
nese laborers to Hawaii. 1t met with
considerable opposition ard finally was
laid on the table. The provision in the
bill prohibiting the sale of liquor In
the capitol building created some
criticism of the house for putting it in
the bill, but the provision was not
stricken out. During the day the
military bill vas discussed. 1t will be
taken up again on Thursday.
In the House.

ing out the enacting clause. This

respecting the bill. The withdrawal of
the support OF the lumber and meat
packing interests, which originally had
joined with the flor milling interests
In pressing the measure brought about
its defeat. The final vote was 1873 to
129 in favor of the motion to strike out
the enacting clause.

reading occupied the time of the sen
ate until 2 o'clock, wher the statehood
bill was laid before the senate. It's
reading vas begun Immediately there

OF the committee on territories, then
presented the committee report on in
~yestigation OF the reasons for Joint

draw the substitute in order to perfect

In the House.
The feature of the house proceed.
ings yesterday was a thoughtful
speech by the venerable Galusha A.
Grow Of Pennsylvania on the rela-
tions between labor and capital. At
the end of the present session he re-
tires at the age of seyenty-nine, after

that some sort of cooperation be-
tween labor and capital was the only
solution OF the pending problem. Al
bill was passed In general terms de-
signed to relieve the tea importers
from the recent decision Of the circuit
court In New York imposing the 10

the statement is made that the sc.
lection of such q commission has
been proposed to the president and
has been under consideration by
him. He has not been able to take
any action, however, owing to the
fact that Judge Taft has been kept
exceedingly busy and has had little
time to talk over this matter with
the president. When they do have
time for talk something definite
may be determined upon by the pres
ident. The friars hold many thou.
sand acres of the best lands in the
Philippines, and this fact is recog-
nized as a notable source of disturb
ance in the islands. 1t is generally
conceded that such of the lands as
are already the property of the
monastic orders should be pur-
chased after negotiations. but the
necessity and the wisdom of send
ing commissions to Rome for this
purpose are seriously questioned and
vigorously disputed. ...
Secretary Root is also authority
for the statement that no commits.
sion or any similar body has been
appointed by the president or any
of his representatives for the pur.
pose of negotiating with the pope at
Rome or with anybody else for the
purchase of the friars' land in the
Philippines. He says that congress
has been asked to provide for the
purchase of these lands. and that
whatever action is taken will be
based entirely upon legislative au.
thority. If congress makes the de.
sired provision the lands will be pur-
chased from the owners by the rep
resentatives of the Philippine gov
eminent. q, The policy of the admin
|Sistration in this matter is embodied
in the bill introduced by Represen-
tative Cooper, one section of which
provides for the issue of bonds by
the Philippine government for the
requirement of the land of the friars
in that county, That bill is now
pending in congress and nothing
will be done in the matter until that
body has declared its purpose re-
specting these lands.

New York, April There is the
highest authority for the statement
that the chamber of commerce of New
York will invite the prince of Wales to
attend the dedication of its new home

been under way for the last two
months, but nothing definite will be

AS matter of fact, no formal invi-

Of Wales, in spite Of statements to
the contrary, but it is not too much
to say at this time that such an invi-

prospect of it's acceptance.
Representatives of all the leading

Even if the proposed bill were
against the interests of his consti-

he mingle in the conflict when his
fellow-opponents combined to fight
the measure. But when the whole

the vote was about to be taken, Cor

With calm and critical judgment he

Acreage Estimate.

Commissioner of Agriculture II. j.
Turner, in an estimate of the acreage
and crop for 1902 under normal con-
ditions, furnished for Chicago statis-
ticians, places the probable acreage of
spring wheat in North Dakota this
year at 4,5OO,OoO, with a probable to-
tai yield of 6O,OO0,00O bushels. Sta
tistics of the past ten or twelve years
show the average wheat crop in the
state to be about fourteen bushels per
acre for the crop harvested.
= Conditions all through the state are
excellent, there having been heavy
SHOWS and rains and the soil being in
excellent condition. Reports from all
stock districts that suffered in the
March storm have been received, and
the loss of sheep is placed at about
S per cent, which is much lower than
was at first expected. The cattle loss
will be much less than this, and the
total loss through the stock section
will not be more than the average for
normal winters.
