NEW BAR TO MONCOL
SENATE IMMIGRATION COMMITTEE
WOULD KEEP OUT CHINESE
MERCHANTS, TOO
BAN ON IN THE PHILIPPINE
Natives of Islands, 1t Is Found, Join
i'm the objection to Allowing
Any immigration of the
Asiatics

WASHINGTON. March 12.-The sem
ate committee on immigration today
agreed to report the Chinese exclusion
bill known as the MitcheIl-Kahn meas.
ure. 1t is substantially the same as the
modified bill submitted by the Pacific
coast committee, only a few verbal COR
rections having been made.
A point which occasioned much con-
sideration by the committee was whether
or not Chinese should be excluded from
the Philippines or whether the whole
proposition should be left to the Philip
pine commission. The committee agreed
TO retain the provision of absolute ex-
clusion, taking the ground that the
United States wanted to retain the Phil
ippines for the Filipinos, and that the
latter were as much opposed to the adj
mission of Chinese as We're the Amert-
cans.
Another section of the bill about which
the committee debated at length was that
excluding Chinese sailors from ships Of
American register. This provision also
was retained in the bill, but with a pro-
viso to the effect that in case of accident,
stress of weather, or serious illness, the
captain of a vessel may ship a Chinese
crew upon the voyage upon which he
may have entered.
The provisions regarding the privilege
of transit of Chinese across the United
States are changed in phraseology, but
remain practically the same in effect
There also are verbal changes in the
provisions concerning the detention of
Chinese who seek entry at American
ports, and the following penalty is pro-
vided for failure to observe this provi-
SION
Every person bound under this section
to detain Chinese person who shall re-
fuse or willfully neglect to promptly
perform such duty shall be deemed
guilty of felony, and on conviction shall
be punished by a fine of not less than
81, 0G0 nor more than 5000, or by impris-
onment for a term not less than one
year, or by both such fine and imprison-
ment.
The paragraph concerning the return
of Chinese is changed so as to read
as follows:
The duty of returning said Chinese
person is hereby imposed on the master.
owner, consignee or agent Of the vessel
and on the railwoy corporation, it's gem
eral officers and agents, and on the own
ers or general officers and agents of other
transportation lines or modes of convey
anee, collectively and seveFally, bringing
him to the port at which entry is denied
him, or aiding him thereto.
Every person bound under this section
to return Chinese person, who shall
refuse or willfully neglect promptly to
perform such duty is subject to fine and
Imprisonment, and subordinate officers,
agents and employees also are subject to
penalties.
Aiding in the escape of Chinese held in
detention is made felony, punishable
both by fine and Imprisonment. A new
provision applies the exclusion provisions
of the bill to Chinese who enter as
merchants and students, as Well as labor
erS.

PUTS KING IN ALARM
WORD FROM IRELAND CAUSES
ABANDONMENT OF TOUR.

LONDON, March Pit was officially
announced today that the proposed
royal visit to Ireland this year had been
Cancelled upon the advice of the cabinet
There are several reasons for this de-
cision. The main one is fears that the
present temper of the Irish Nationalist
and the United Irish League agitation
might lead to offensive demonstrations;
again, it is said that several of the lead
ers of Catholic opinion in Ireland have
warned the government that it would be
inexpedient for the king to visit Ireland
so soon after his accession to. the throne
and his declaration against Roman doc
trines in England. III

of gratitude to Gov. Yates for Issuing a
proclamation soliciting assistance for the
Boer women and children in their con-
centration camps in South Africa
The speaker said the people Of AmeH-
CS had raised a large sum of money with
which to relieve the distress of the Boer
women with children, but were unable to
send it to them because Lord Pauncefote,
British ambassador at Washington, OBJ
jected. He charged that Lord Pauncefote
had for years meddled in American af-
fairs. There were eighteen counts and
specific charges in Gov. Altgelds indict-
ment He said:
just before the beginning Of the Span
ish war Lord Pauncefote, representing
the aristocracy, meddled In our affairs
and tried to unite the governments OF
Europe in making a joint protest against
Americas interference in behalf of Cuba
But when the American people asserted
themselves and our government was COM
PEELED to go to the rescue of Cuba, Eng
land issued strong neutrality proclama
ton, forbidding all of her subjects every
where from furnishing us any aid or do
ing anything that would in any way be
a violation OF the strictest neutrality.
Widow Is Frustrated.
Tt was q speech typical of the old
governor, who had risen from the tow
path to the chief Office of the state. It
was Gov Altgeld who pardoned the three
Chicago anarchists.
Mr.. barrow took charge of the body
and opened scores of kilograms from ali
parts of the country.
There will be no post-mortem examina-
ton. The family does NOT wish it, being
content with the statement of the ply
sicians that Mr.. Altgeld died of cere-
bral hemorrhage
Mrs Altgeld, the widow, was Frustrated
by the shock. Grave apprehension for
her welfare is felt. The decedent leaves
no children.

CHARLES GIRARD GOES FREE.
ArrafGned on Charge of Receiving
Money Under False Pretense.

Charles Girard, who was arraigned last
week on the charge of receiving money
under false pretenses, appeared in the
pose of a preliminary hearing On mo-
ton of the county attorney the case Was
dismissed.
1t is apparent that the parties who lost
the money have been settled with, as
there was no tendency from any one to
push the case and Cfirard was released.
Girard was arrested in Milwaukee
about a week ago by Detective King,
and returned to Minnesota without eX-
tradition papers. 1t is claimed that the
detective making the arrest did not place
any evidence in the hands of the state
on which to prosecute, which. under the
circumstance, made a dismissal neces-
Sary.

TO INVESTIGATE RATES.
Interstate Commerce Commissions
Expected to Meet Here Soon.

Word is being quietly passed around
mat the interstate commerce commission
IS about to visit Minneapolis for the pur-
pose OF investigating the rates situation
that has prevailed in the Northwest for
the past six months. A number of the
shipping clerks of the large concerns
and several prominent railroad men are
preparing to take a short vacation in or
der to avoid any subpoenas that may be
served upon them by Uncle Sam"
Since President Roosevelt has taken up
the matter of the duties of the interstate
commerce commission, they are fearful
that if thorough investigation of the
conditions that have existed in the past
were looked into, some of them might
be found guilty of infractions of the law
and be subjected to no little embarrass-
ment.

The mortality due to smallpox in Bos-

Out of POI smallpox cases reported in
December forty resulted fatally-a NOR
tality of 20 per cent. During the month
of December there We're 1856 cases re
ported, but only % deaths which shows
nearly 100 per cent increase in the NOR
tally in December.
'"The reports from Boston and from
certain other Eastern cities" said Dr.
Hall, where smallpox has existed some
two years longer than it has in Mime
apclis, demonstrate that the disease be-
comes more viruIent the longer it en-
dUres. At present the mild form which
it has assumed in Minneapolis makes il
little more than a nuisance.

TROUBLE OVER sHERIFF BILL.
Important Clause Was in Some Man
ner Stricken Out

There has been considerable feeling
wrought up in court circles over the sher-
1ff bill that was passed by the last leg
islature. which allows the sheriff the
privilege of appointing the court bailiffS
1t is stated that the original draft ~of
the bill made gave the sheriff the power
to appoint court bailiffs, with the con-
sent of the majority of the judges on the
D. bench. The Hennepin delegation agreed
TO support this measure when ii was sub
mitted to them for their approval.
The bill that was passed by the legisia-
ture had the clause with the consent of
the majority of the judges on the bench"
stricken ont. and there is no one who
apparently knows anything about how
this clause came to be stricken out.
AS the matter now stands, one Of the
Judges is not satisfied with the bailiff
which the sheriff has appointed to his
court, and maintains that if he cannot
have the bailiff of his own choice he will
do without one in his court room, aud
act as his own bailif. 1t is expected
<,.lowever. that the difficulty will be fixed
up.

OVERCOME DURING LAST SPEECH
Audience Fails to Realize Serious
ness of Orators Illness

Audience Fails to Realize Serious
ness of Orators Illness.
JOLIET, ILL.,, March 12-Gov. Altgeld,
who died here today, was the principal
speaker al a pro- Boer mass meeting last
night in the Joliet theater. Just at the
close of his speech sudden dizziness
seized him, and he was assisted from
the stage The meeting proceeded, the
audience not realizing what had hap
pened. Mr.. Altgeld was taken to the
door of the theater, where he was seized
with spasm of vomiting. This contin-
ued for nearly an hour and was so vlo-
lent he could not be removed to the hotel.
Physicians were summoned, and when
the vomiting had been checked Mr. Alt
geld was carried to the Hotel Munroe,
across the street. He retained conscious
ness and urged the newspaper men not
to publish anything concerning the oc-
currence, lest it should needlessly alarm
his wife. Shortly before midnight he be-
came unconscious so remaining until
death
Shows a Remarkable Vitality.
At 9:41 this morning 1t was thought he
had died, but he revived and from that
time until shortly before the end showed
wonderful vitality although remaining
motionless.
Ihe medical men here had a banquet
last night, at which DIR. J. B. Herrick
OF the Rush Medical college, of Chicago.
delivered a lecture on heart disease. He
and other physicians were called from
the banquet to attend the patient They
remained with him the remainder Of the
night. They employed all known means
to restore respiration, but to no purpose.
The cause of death given is cerebral
hemorrhage.
The vomiting was at first supposed
to indicate ptomaine poisoning. but it
was later determined that this was a
manifestation of the brain trouble.
Illness of Long Standing.
Mr. Altgeld came to Joliet yesterday
afternoon. He said he was not in the
best health, being troubled by some an
parently unimportant stomach ailment.
! He would not allow this to interfere with
his engagement however. 1t was noted
during the address that the ex-governor
threw an unusual amount of energy and
feeling into his words, and the collapse
the physicians think, resulted from over
straining his already weakened physical
powers.
Ever since the failure Of the Globe
Savings bank, in 1896, in which he was
involved, Mr.. Altgeld has not been well,
and for some months after the Spalding
crash 1t was reared that his life was in
| peril Even when serving his last year
| as governor, his health was poor. For
a time he suffered from locomotor ataxia,
but he rallied, although he never again
was his old vigorous self Lately, the
disease marked him strongly, and quite
recently his appearance caused anxiety.
