> coNcREss--WHAT THE PEoi
PIE WANT.
WELL KNOWN NEWSPAPER MAN
SIZES up SENATOR CHANDLER
IN A VERY GOOD LIGHT-WHAT
HE SAYS.
PL e WANT

Washington, May 3.-Minister
Wu is now taking very active
interest in the Chinese exclusion bill
and has been fighting it at every point
He can talk to senators and represent
atiyes "unolficially" and does so when
he happens to meet them. He cannot
go before committees and make argu-
ments, but has taken the diplomatic
method of writing to the state depart
ment protesting against the proposed
law. More than this, prominent attor-
ncys who are known to be employed
by the Chinese minister have appeared
before the committees of both senate
and house and argued against the
Mitchell Kahn bill. All of the brainy
Chinamans efforts. however. will be
unavailing. There will be Chinese
exclusion bill law. and the prospects
are that it will be much more drastic
than the present Gcary law

ogy,' and no contract or pleading in
any court shall be deemed invalid or
liable to objection because the dates
expressed or referred to therein are the
dates. of the prophetic Biblical sys-
tenn of chronology There is a lot
more to it, but the above is the sim
plest portion. as the remainder relates
to "charts. perpetual calendars" TIA
bles." cte The accompanying charts
and papers are hewiIdering.
"SmeIl of the Smoke"
Representative Swanson Of Virginia
tells this one on himself: With his
family is one of the old time darkies
of whom we read 50 much ard see so
little. This cid man thought the repre-
| sentative should spend more money
should indulge in such luXuries as he
| observed other men having and Of
which he was tliie jealous. why
I don't you buy an ottermobil and have
a span of spanking, high stepping
| hosses or a lot of thingsIn he asked.
You know l have not the money to
spend on all those things" replied Mr..
Swanson "Oh. yes, you is argued
the old man. You is got money to
burn. but the trouble with you is you
don't Ike the smell of the smoke"
Things Heard and Seen.
When there is big day of debate
on i'm the senate. the members Of the
| house come over III great numbers to
| listen They fill the chairs and sofas
around the hall and range themselves
| up along the walls and remain while
| the excitement lasts. In fact. there is
nothing more interesting in official life
| here than a clash Of the brightest In
| tellects of the senate.
"Oh. yes, said Il millionaire senator,
"some Of the big moneyed men are an
cry because the president directed the
attorney general to bring suit against
| The merger You see. the fellows who
| have organized these big companies
will have to carry six or seven hundred
millions Of stock that they wanted to
unload on the public"

to serve without pay said newspa-
J per man, "if he could have been at the
/ head of the committee on privileges
and elections and handled this Tillman-
McLaurin affair And 1t would not
have been settled without some Chan
dlerisms' in the senate either" lie
