The Chinese exclusion bill was un-

rigid exclusion and expressed a feel

washington. April 7.-Considerable
time was consumed by the senate IN
discussion of the conference report
of the bill to reduce the war revenue
taxes AS passed by the senate, the
fay on transactions in so-callec
bucket-shops was retained. The con-
ference struck out that provision, and
the senate adopted the con-
ference report, sc to 20 Sen
ator Simmons IN. CO., explained
briefly that he should support the ex-
clusion bill. although he frankly SAID
he would do so with some reluctance.
The house passed the Chinese eX-
clusion bill after incorporating IN 1t
several amendments which increased
the drastic character of the measure.
The principal one not only excludes
Chinese by birth and descent but all
Chinese of mixed blood The chief
struggle was over the amendment to
prohibit the employment OF Chinese
sailors on American ships. The
amendment covering this proposition
al first was ruled out on point or
order, but subsequently was modified
to evade the ruling and was adopted,
100 to IA As passed, the bill pract1-
cally re-enacts all the exclusion laws
and Incorporates with them the exist
ing treaty obligations. 1t extends
these exclusion laws to the Philip
pines and other possessions of the
United States and forbids Chinese
laborers in our colonial possessions
coming into this country.
The conference report on the war
revenue tax repeal bill was adopted
and the bill sent to the white house.
Mr.. Fowler IN. j., moved to pass
the senate bill to extend the charac-
ters of national banks 20 years. The
democrats were taken by surprise.
AS it was after the usual hour for
adjournment the attendance was
slim. The democrats attempted to
filibuster but call of the house
finally secured a quorum and the bill
passed

SUBSCRIPTIONS NOT MADE AS
PROMPTLY AS DESIRED.
Promoters of the Boulevard Plan
May Call Another Meeting-A
Business Proposition.

Subscriptions are still being made to the
fund of $1,000 being raised to compensate
the owners of property along Fall creek
between Meridian street and Central ave-
nue. for land donated for boulevard pur-
poses and it is hoped by more closely d.
rected work to soon reach the amount de-
sired While the canvassers find many
willing to give their share, they find others
unwilling because, they assert, they will
be giving while others equally benefited
will give nothing. 1t is likely another meet
ing will be called soon to extend the work
Of canvassing.
The promoters of the boulevard plan say
the property owners affected do not seem
to realize the exact value of the present
means offered for the construction of the
boulevard and parkway. This will extend
along the creek bank from Capitol avenue
TO the fair grounds. The acquisition OF
land gratuitously between Capitol avenue
and Meridian street and Central avenue
and the fair grounds will not be difficult
Between Central avenue and Meridian
street the land is owned to the center Of
the stream by a real estate company rep
resented by E. l.. Cothrell. This company
willingly offered TO give a certain width
along the bank but the proper survey re-
quired a wider strip In taking this wider
strip the land left to the company was
practically valueless and is responsible for
heavy street Improvement assessments.
The owners felt they could give part but
not all of the land Hence the necessity
of raising the So 900 TO buy. Mayor Book
walter proposed If this sum raised TO
construct the boulevard and parkway with
out further cost TO adjacent property.
Condemnation proceedings, If instituted
by the city, would cost infinitely more. In
addition there would be the cost of the
construction of the boulevard, item of
about $4,000 In all. under condemnation
and assessment the property affected would
be called on TO pay about 5000 To avoid
this an assessment of Sl5 per lot was asked.
The promoters say they cannot understand
why the property affected does not respond
more promptly, IL is a plain business
proposition. In addition the property is
bound TO gain I'm apprecia ton during the
next few years. Also the boulevard and
parkway will be a distinct addition 10 that
part of the city. They say 1t is a plain
proposition of 50. 900 against SEQ 900. for soon
er or later the boulevard and parkway will
be made.
While there have been many generous
gifts 10 the fund, and while there may be
well-directed campaigning TO raise the
amount required. When another meeting is
held the effort will be made TO organize so
that more effective results can be secured
at once. The promoters say they are disin-
terested except as property owners who
desire the Identification of their neighbor-
hood.

Inspired by a superabundance of booze,
with the conviction that his charms were
Irresistible, James Miller, a white man
who has been working as porter in Fred
Eeier's saloon. promenaded Massachusetts
avenue at sunset yesterday evening and ad-
dressed promiscuous and amorOus remarks
TO old women and young who had not been
favored by an introduction to him. Retri-

brother of one of the young women whom
Miller stopped. and although he fed with
a speed that was marvellous. considering
his inebriated condition. turning corners
and skipping over fences with unbelievable
agility. he was finally cornered by pursu-
ing mob and held until the arrival of BIZ
cycls Patrolmen Lawshe and Mefford.
Miller. so the police ascertained. had
loaded up on a measure of drinks that
strained his capacity, and it was then that
the evil inspiration struck him. About 6
O'Clock he walked up Massachusetts, ave
nue.. with an eye for feminine charms All
women looked alike to him. and age and
previous or present condition made no diff
ference. All who came within the range of
his tongue were assaulted by his iI-chosen
words. Several ran screaming away as
Miller continued his walk.
At length he came 10 where Miss Mary
winn and Miss Lottie Brown, the former
of 76S Massachusetts, avenue and the latter
OF 907 North New Jersey street. were walk

planted himself SQuarely in front OF them

cried, stop him. and the cry started a
number after him. The pursuers grew in
number until there were about 800 chasing
the fleeing figure. In spite OF his conGi-

the distance, and fences were no obstacle.
He cleared them like a steeple chaser and
sprinted through back yards like a Derby

Christmas Here and There.

CnrlStmdS mere ana IneTe.
A long time ago-away back in the 4th
century there was dispute among
the learned as to the date of Christ's
birth.
Pope julius had an investigation made
by St. Cyril and the result was that the
25th day of December was fixed upon as
the correct date and became universally
accepted.
There was the great Roman Saturn
ALA. the great festival Of the winter Sol
stice, which was observed in all parts of
the world from Dec. 25th to Jan. 9th.
The early christians most of all desir-
ed to keep the celebration of Chris
birth reigiously-in fact it had no other
meaning.
The singing of songs and the burn
ing of incense to the gods Saturn
and Bacchus, the ribald revelry
recorded in history of the celebration
of the wicked festival serve to show the
difficulties with which Christmas was
guarded and defended by the faithful"
in that early time. In spite of conflict
and it is pre-eminently the holiday sea-
son of the year.
Christmas like a lone star continued
to shine and to break forth in rejoicing.
We have many holidays when the
the wheels stop-business is over, men
look up to see what is going on, but only
once in the whole year-only once the
whole world stands still to celebrate the
Christ mass, the hallelujah of the new
life.
There is no rejoicing like the joy of
Christmas, hallowed and sweet, as old
as the three wise men who journeyed
far till the star came and stood over
where the young child was: halo of
heavenly light shone round about and
the morning stars sang together.
The worldly and unholy customs of
the old pagan feast days have been left
behind with all the communicating influ-
ence of the dark centuries, and Christ
mas has grown into the life of many
lands where it is observed first, religi-
ously. Around the central idea of the
birth of Christ and commemorative
the one day Of all DAYS has attached the
custom of the Yule log, the Christmas
tree with the colored tapers, the tinsel
and the wreaths of flowers or berries,
and all the pretty decorations we are ac-
customed to see and welcome.
Families gather around the home fire.
side and how glad the home coming OF
the children now widely scattered per-
haps.
The generous hearts are open to gift,
to giving, to song and to the joyous re-
newing of old friendship. The poor are
not forgotten and many royal gifts are
sent to needy homes attended with
bounteous hand. The springs of kind
ness swing wide open and all the world
is kin on Christmas day.
In Russia the peasants sing carols be-
fore the noblemen's houses. They
gather in groups, and all night sing
carols and receive the golden coins
thrown from the windows. 1t is happy
time-business ceases and the one day
of the year is alike to one and all, the
blessed Christmas.
In Germany the preparations 90 on
for long weeks and every home must
have q Christmas tree. We owe this
best of old customs to the Germans who
made the social festivities not only
earnest but mirthful with song and
story. They renew friendship with

Those separated from home joys, out
on the waste of waters, meet Christmas
with good cheer.
Gay streamers and flags of all nations
wave from fore to mizzen mast on
Christmas day.
Wherever there is an American man
of-war, there is the universal Christmas !;
this is true of commercial ships and
passenger liners. High from the signal
yard futters the message which has re-.
joiced the world for ages.
The British tars sing "God save the
King" The German battleship lying at
anchor in a foreign port, raise their
voices across the water and sing "The
German Fatherland." The Dutch COM
mander orders the national air of the
Low countries, and from the American
deck peals forth the "Star Spangled
Banner"
