the greater part Of his speech to q
consideration of the desirability and
practicability of the two principal

strenuously favored the former,
maintaining that in every possible
respect it had many advantages over
the Panama route.
At the conclusion OF Senator Nor
gan's speech Senator Plat, of Con-

clusion bill passed by the house. He
then moved that all after the enact
ing clause Of that bill be stricken out

cratic primaries are being held throughout

CHICAGO, August 26.-Grave possibilities
of a strike that may tie up all the street
railway lines of the west and north sides

union men, was balloted upon by nearly
5000 men yesterday. The votes were count

MR.. JENKs' RECOMMENDATIONS.
immigration Officials Greatly Inter
ested in Them.

Immigration officials at the treasury and
others concerned in the subject of Chinese
immigration are greatly interested in the
recommendations of Prof. ]. w. jerks, who
has made a study of colonial conditions the
world over for the War Department and in
his forthcoming report will advise, 1t is UNI
derstood, that the laws be so changed as
to give the Philippines commission discre-
ton over the admission of Chinese into the
archipelago. AT present they have no juris-
diction in the matter. The general Chinese
exclusion law passed late In the recent
session applied the same rigid rules to the
Phlllppines as to this country. Prof. jerks
is, however, very distrustful of the success
of American enterprises in the Philippines
unless there can be a better labor supply
than now. Treasury officials, however,
point out In support of the present system
that the natives of the archipelago should
be given a chance to demonstrate their
efficiency or inefficiency before any change
Is made, and that If it appears in future
years that no industrial progress is possible
without a better labor supply then it will
be time to talk of changing the laws.

change was made today in the cases Of

BATTLE SHIP MAINE.
Believed Her Speed Will Exceed Her
Contract Requirement.

Although the measured speed of the new
battle ship Maine, which had her trial "trip
over the Cape Ann course last Saturday,
was only 1896 knots, IS knots being her
contract speed, no doubt is entertained at
the department that when her tidal allow
ance is figured out it will be found that
she has appreciably exceeded IS knots 1t
is known that the tide was against her but
1t will require several days to figure out
the corrected speed. If, by any chance, the
correction should not bring her speed up
to IS knots she ask for another trial
lnasmuch as the government no longer
pays premium for excess speed the
builders have no object in driving a vessel
to her utmost capacity on her trial and
thus risking a possible breakdown of her
machinery, and if another trial is asked 1t
is believed that the Maine could be made
to develop considerable more speed than
she did on Saturday. However, in any
event, the Navy Department must ACCEPT
the ship. Under the terms of the contract
with her builders she must be accepted If
she makes over II knots, subject to a PEN
atty at the rate of $4,000 for each quarter
knot below IS knots.
