PASS EXCLUSION BILL.
Representatives Make Measure Still
 More Drastic.

WASHINGTON, April S.-The house yesterday passed the Chinese exclu- sion bill after incorporating ill it sev- eral amendments which increased the drastic character of the measure. The principal one not only excludes Chi Iese by birth and descent, but all Ehi. nese of mixed blood The chief strug~ gle was over an amendment to prohib- it the employment of Chinese sailors on American ships.
 An amendment covering this propo- sition at first was ruled out on point of order, but subsequently was modi- fled to eyade the ruling and was adopt ed-100 to 74. AS passed the bill prac- tically re-enacts all the existing eXclu- sion laws and incorporates with them the existing treasury regulations. It extends these exclusion laws to the Philippines and the other possessions of the United States and forbids Chi nese laborers in our colonial posses sions coming into this country.
 The Philippine commission by the terms of the bill is directed to adopt proper measures for the enforcement of the provisions of the bill in the Philippines. The conference report on the war revenue tax repeal bill was adopted and the bill sent to the White House. Late in the afternoon Mr. Fowler (N. J.) moved to pass under suspension of the rules the senate bill to extend the charters of national banks for twenty years. The Demo crats were taken completely by sur prise. AS it was after the usual hour for adjournment the attendance was slim. The Democrats attempted to fiji buster, but call of the house finally secured quorum, and the bill was passed.
 Considerable time was consumed by the senate i'll discussion of the con- ference report on the bill to reduce the war revenue taxes. As passed by the senate the tax on transactions ill so called bucket shops was retained. The conference struck out that provision, it being explained that the house would not consent to it's retention. Mir. Berry (Ark.), MT. Bacon (Ga.j and Mir. Pettus (Ala.) insisted that the senate should demand the retention of the tax. MT. Aldrich (R. I.), Mir. Ali son Qa.) and Mr. Spooner (Wis.J, while they were ill favor of the tax, explain ed that it could not be retained with out endangering the entire measure. The conference report finally was adopted-36 to 20.

JOHN L. LOST HIS SCRAP BOOK
Thousands of Columns of Clippings
 Burned Up.

John l.. Sullivan said to Philadei- phia interviewer: I'd rather have lost $25, 900 than what 1 did lose the other day.

There were thousands of columns of clippings in the books and hundreds of pictures of me and my friends and enemies. l used to like to take down the volume, when I was ill q mood of calling back the past, and I'd study the fights over and dream. But they have all been burnt up in fire, and I'll have to dream without them."

 The rain storm of last night and to- day made business good for dealers in umbrellas and rubber goods and also made it necessary for many people to put on their heavy garments again. Although the wind was not blowing ks hard as we often see it. still it was astonishing how it managed to lift peoples hats and toss them about i'll the mud. Tn many instances umbrel- las were turned inside out and the owners were puzzled to know what to do with them. Tn the afternoon the weather turned very cold and unless it changes the need of good fires will be felt during the evening.

 Machine and Suffered an Injury to
 That Member-IIis Claim is That De
 fendant Instructed Him to Use His
 Foot and is Therefore Liable.
 The jury in the district court to-day was engaged on the suit of Alexander Daniels against Ami Tomlinson for S5,0UO damages. The defendant owns q machine for baling hay and with it he travels around the country. He lives near Winsted and some time ago Was engaged on Browns farm. Ehe plaintiff was i'll his employ He was engaged feeding the baling machine with hay by means of fork It is claimed that the machine Is so con structed that there seems to be an in vention to place ones foot near the feeder and that it is easier to feed the machine with the foot than with a hay fork. At all events the plaintiff claims that the defendant advised him to feed the machine with his foot and he did so, with the result that he came near losing it. The machine is wcaeed by horse power and when plaintiff acted upon the advice of the defendant some thing started the horses. This gave the machine q sudden jerk, causing the jaws of the feeder to reyolve at q quicker rate than they had been nov ing They came near cutting off plain tlfI right foot. For this he asks dam ages. The Case was not finished to- day. Judge PeaSley presided.

TWO CASES REPORTEDTO-DAY
One on Silver Street and One on
 Ward Street.

Health Officer Had Not Officially Pro
 nounced Them Smallpox Up to Press
 Hour-A Man Who Was Quarantined
 in Bernier Block Says He Visited
 Hospital and Talked With Some of
 the Inmates.
 Two suspicious cases were reported to Health Officer kilmartin this after noon by unknown parties. One is a man named Baker on Ward street and the other is in the family in the rear of 49 Silver street. The health officer is at the isolation hospital this after noon and the cases will be examined aS soon as he returns. All the other pa tients are doing well.
 X man who was liberated from the Bernier block Sunday told some of his neighbors a rather strange story last night. He said that he called at the isolation hospital during the afternoon and talked the guard into allowing him to see members of his family who are i'll the hospital. He reported all doing well, but said that he shouldn't care to stay there long and hoped that his friends will be discharged from there as quickly as possible. While 1t IS thought that the man was giving his neighbors game of talk, still the story caused some confusion and many did mot know whether to believe him or not. 1t is safe to say that if he called at the institution he didn't succeed in getting past the officers on duty; prob ably he wouldn't try to if he could. for the isolation hospital is not very at tractiye spot at this time.
