 Crowds.

Danville, Va. April 7.-Presidcnt Reosc- velt's journey through Virginia has been marked by extreme cordiality and enthu- siasm and he has shown the keenest inter est in the historic country through which the train has been passing. His first re- marks were addressed to a small crowd at Rappanhannock, where the train made a short stop to take on water. He ap- peared on the rear platform and after lowing his acknowledgements, said to the little gathering: "I am now on historic ground"
 At Charlottesville the people were out in force, the driving rain not seeming to dampen their spirits in the least. In the crowd were A number of Spanish war veterans whom the President recognized. and his reference to John Greenway. a former member of his regiment, who was To University of Virginia man. caused the students to set up a deafenlng college yell. Great was the disappointment at Lynchburg. For some unknown reason the train stopped outside the city limits and those who had waited in the rain for the Presidents coming had to be content with a view of him through the car win dow as the train sped by the depot At Danvilie there was another large assem- blaze, the President being compelled to come out on the platform and acknowl- edge their greeting.

THE SENATE.

Washington, April Considerable time was consumed by the Senate today in a disc cussion of the conference report on the bill to reduce war revenue taxes. As passed by the Senate. the tax on transac- tfons in so-caued bucket shops was retain ed The conferees struck out that pro vision, 1t being explained that the House would not consent to it's retention Mir. Berry (Ark.). MT. Bacon tGa.), and MT. Pettus. Ala., insisted that the Senate should demand the retention of the tax Mir. Aldrich (R. I.) MT. Allison Qa.) and MT. Spooner (Wis.) while they were in favor of the tax. explained that 1t could not be retained without endangering the entire measure. The conference report was finally adopted. 36 to 20.
 Mr. Simms (N. co explained briefly why he should support the Chinese ex- clusiou bill, although he frankly said he would do so with some reluctance.
 Soon after the Senate convened today d bill was passed to provide for a clerk of the Circuit and District Courts at Wilmington. N. C. Another bill provid- ing for the promotion of anatomical science and for the prevention of the dissertation of graves passed Mir. Aldrich (R. I) presented the conference report on the bill to repeal the revenue war taxes. MT. Jones (Ark,) urged that the Senate amendment taxing bucket shops should have been insisted upon. MT. Tettus (Ala.J said he was opposed to all transactions which were gambling in disguise Down in his country he said playing in the bucket shops was the sort of gambling in which. church goers could engage. without sacrihclnS 'heir church connection. He was opposed to the removal of the tax.
 MT. Berry (Ark.) maintained that to r,.r}ove the. Cax on bucket shops and leave if on other transactions was utterly un- inst Bucket shops, he declared. were .ambIing establishments or the worst ,.h.ractcr and he considered tho propQsi ,inn f, rehovc tho tax upon bucket shops as bad legNlation,
 MT. Aldrich explained that tne conten- tion of those who insi. ted upon the re-

moyal of the bucket shop tax was that thc effect of the Senate provision will be to remove the tax upon transactions in piE exchanges and to tax the traneac- tions of small brokers. This IL was maintained. woud he in the nature or discrimination. The Senate conferees hae yielded upon that point as they did not think the bill ought to fail on account of the difference as to the bucket shop tax.
 MT. Bacon Gal maintained that as the tax upon bucket shops was proper source of revenue, and the tax manifestiy was properly laid, it ought to be con- tinucd. f
 In answer to an inquiry by Mir. Lodgel Mir. Allison, one of the confcrees. said the Senate would have to agree to the report or perhaps lose the bill He then entered into an explanation of the meas urc as agreed to by the ccnferces. Per sonally. he was in favor of the retention of the tax upon bucket shops. but he was satisfied in view of the position of the conferees that the tsx could not be re- tained. 4
 Mir. Bacon maintained that the law applied to both boards of trade and buck ct shops: except as to the latter, it ap- piled to both legal and illegal contracts.
 MT. Spooncr said he was in favor of the TetentlOn or the LAX Ou uuChct sHVpS, which he considered most insidious and destructive form of gambling. The tax was. in his opinion, wholesome and we'll judged, but when he was informed by the Senate conferees that the House was lrrevocably opposed to the retention of the tax. he was not willing to jeopardize the bill. which generally reduced taxes. by insisting on his view.
 The conference report was agreed to. S6 to 20
 Consideration of the Chinese exclusion bill then was resumed. Mir. Simmons (N. O. addressing the Senate. He said he expected to vote for the bill. but was reluctant to do so, especially because the cotton manufacturers of his State and of the South generally were appealing against it's enactment. They fear. he said. that 1t will lead to retaiiatory action on the part of China and that their market in the Orient might be checked if not de- stroyed.
 MT. Simmons explained that he did not agree with the cotton manufacturers, and, therefore. as people of the Pacific coast and other sections were demanding the passage of the bill. he would vote for 1t. The bill was read at length and then the Senate at 5:30 adjourned.

 MONTGOMERY Atlanta Cannot Get the
 New Court. SENATOR PETTUs TALKS MT. H0ar Knew What He Was Doing in Framing Bill. This City Was Selected as HsadquASs ters for the Court Because of
 It's Central Location in the District
SENATOR PETTUs TALKS

Washington. April 7.-(speciaf. )-rshGo is little probability that Atlanta win - able to take from Montgomery the ueW court of appeals to be established un1ef the terms of the Hoar bill now pending in the Senate.
 There has been some talk among xhp Georgia delegation of amending the bilI when 1t Is called up. the amendment te provide that the new court shall sit ae Atlanta. but the best informed men in the Senate say such amendment cannn4 be carried. If 1t comes to vote on tho amendment the two Alabama Senatorls Pettus and Morgan can line up about se many votes for Montgomery d tho Georgia Senators. Clay and Bacon can muster for Atlanta. It is not believs4 the amendment will be offered.
 7 Senator Hoar, while framing the bin for the new district. talked with the tnY terested Senators at length he selected Montgomery as the place where tho sixth district court should sit. after he had held several conferences with Senatou Pettus. The statement that has beer. published to the effect that Senator Hoxr had no special purpose in choosing Mont- gomery Is erroneous as the foliowfna statement of Senator Pettus today will show: Np ss
 If the Hoar bill Is called up this ses- sion and passed 1t is very likely that Montgomery will be designated ss tho place where the sixth district court shall sit. Senator Hoar and had several long conferences about choosing Mont gomery as the place. and 1t was finally selected because of It's central location in the district which comprises Georgia, Alabama and Florida.
 .sThe Ioar bill is now on the calendar. but whether it will be called up cannot ssygs. Senator Morgan and, myself will certainig strand up for Montgomery and If any amendment is offered which seeks to try to take the court away to another city we will do our best to have 1t voted down, but have heard of no such amend ment as yet except through the news papers.

WILL RATIFY THE SALE.
P1ebiscite in Danish West Indies
 will Occur Later.

Copenhagen. April 1.-Two more se- cret meetings of the LandsthinE were Id today to discuss the Danish west Indies Islands treaty. but no vote was reached. The opposition made new mo ton, namely to order plebescite before and not after the ratification of the trea- ty This motion will not be accepted. but tt caused the postponement of the vote to the next meeting of tho House which will undoubtedly be the last one.
 reliable forecast indicates that the Landsthing will vote for the ratification of the treaty and plebescite subsequent to this action.
 Herr von Hessen, who was sent to the Danish West Indies in 1901 by the Ma tional Tidende to stir up opposition to the proposed sale to the United States, has returned with glowing reports of the success of this mission.
 Today he published an article in The National Tidende in which he declares that influences have been at work in the islands which would render a plebescite at this time worthless to Denmark, as the vote of the inhabitants of the islands would result in the sale. He. therefore asks the Landsthing to reject the treaty outright This is believed to show the desperate straits of the opposition.
