 MAY COME TO U. s.
INVITATIONS HAVE BEEN SENT, ANDIT SAID THE PROPOSALS HAVE RECEIVED THE SANCTION OF KING EDWARD.

New York, April 5.-High diplomatic circles here are discussing plans, believed to be far advanced, for a visit by the Prince of Wales to the United States says the London correspondent of the Times.
 The administration is officially forward ing the proposals for the visit, which, 1t is understood receives the personal sanction of King Edward some of whose counsellors urge the acceptance Of the invitation as a matter of astute State pol icy.
 The splendid welcome accorded to the brother of the German Emperor is believ- ed to be a forceful influence in this con- nection.
 The Princes visit will be ir acceptance of an invitation to the dedication of the magnificent new home of the New York Chamber of Commerce. A committee of that body has been in communication with the royal household and Cabinet members directly, and also through Am bassador Choate.
 While actual decisive acceptance has not yet been promised, it is the under standing in the diplomatic world that such an acceptance soon will be announc- ed officially.
 The arrival here of J. Pierpont Morgan may facilitate the negotiations. MT. Nor gan, 1t Is intimated, brings an added in- vitation from the New York Stock Ex- change for the dedication of its new building.

CAPTAIN coeHLAN PARpoNEp.
He Will Now Assume His Regular
 Rank Among Naval Officers.

Washington, April 5.-The President to- day signed pardon in the case of Capt Joseph B. Coghlan, who lost eleven num- bers in his grade some years ago as a re- suit of an unusually sharp letter written by him to the detail officer of the Navy Department. As one of the captains in the battle of Manila Bay Captain Coghlan was advanced so as to make up a good part of the ground he had lost.
 The Presidents action today makes up the rest of the ground and places him at the head the list of captat~J along with Captain Sanus. Upon the retire. ment of Admiral Farquhar, both will become rear admirals. Captain Coghlan is carried as an additional number in grade, and thus his advancement will not interfere with the promotions of the cap tains below him.

HOUSE AND SENATE
 TALK EXCLUSION
SENATOR FAIRBANKS MAKES THE PRINCIPAL SPEECH OF THE DAY AND SAYS BILL DOES NOT VlO. LATE TREATY WITH CHINA.

Washington, April 5.-After passing the Indian appropriation bill today, the Sem ate considered the Chinese exclusion measures for nearly three hours. The principal speech of the session was made by MT. Fairbanks of Indiana in support of the bill. He analysed Its provisions to demonstrate that they were not in con- travent1on of our treaty with China, and discussed at length the right of Congress to exact exclusion legislation. He mair- tained that 1t was a cardinal principle of this government to protect it's labor against such low-priced labor as would come to the United States from China.
 MT. Gallinger of New Hampshire and Mr. Platt of Connecticut indicated their belief that the provisions oH the measure relating to the exempted classes were in contravent1on of our treaty obligations to China Mir. Lodge. MT. Penrose and MT Fairbanks combatted this view.
 THE HOUSE.
 Washington April 5-The Chinese ex- clusion bill was under consideration in the House throughout the day, general debate being closed. Without exception the speeches were favorable to rigid exclusion and expressed the feeling Of repugnance to the Chinese. MT. Kahn of California the author of the bill, was gratified during the day at reaching an understanding by which most of the amendments proposed by the Pacific coast people will be accepted by the com- mittee. This propably will lead to the withdrawai of the minority bill, and the passage of the majority measure. The only amendment at issue Is on the sail ors' clause. and this by agreement is to be submitte ed to a vote.

Lord BereSfOrO'S
Advice to Britain.

LIVERPOOL, Oct. 26.-vice Admir-.
al Lord Charles Beresford arrived
here to day from New York on the
Cunard line steamer Umbria In the
United States Lord Beresford studied
the construction of American battle
ships and also investigated shipping
matters. He was interviewed on his
trip to America and said he had had
splendid reception in the United
States and that he could vouch for
the genuineness of the kind senti.
ment entertained in America for
Great Britain. He said his investiga-
tions on the other side had convinced
him that Great Britain had nothing
to fear from the International Mer
camille Marine Company On the con
trary, he belived this combine would
benefit England, commercially and
otherwise.
THE United States,' said the Ad.
miral, lis certainly ahead of us in
engineering and administration. and
we need to adapt ourselves more to
modern IDEAS"
Continuing, Lord Beresford said he
did not take pessimistic view of the
situation and did not agree that
Great Britain was going down hill.
IF Great Britain and the United
States" said the Admiral, were
Joined in the interests of universal
peace, and if the rest of the world
wanted to fight those countries, then
let the rest of the world look out"

Morgan Tube Railway Scheme FAIL
ed in Debate.

gu IN LIE Date.
LONDON, Oct. 29.-The efforts of
the promoters of the Morgan tube"
railway scheme to procure the re.
establishment of the parliamentary
status of their original franchise bill
as a whole led to an hours debate
in the House of Commons tonight, the
only result of which was the with.
irawal of the endeavor.
The Morgans intend to ask later for
the recommittal of the bill granting
rights for their proposed tube" and
other lines, without regard to the
London United Tramway Company,
which was to have been operated in
connection with the Morgan tube, =
but which was privately bought up
by the Yerkes interests,
Thomas G. Ashton, who moved the
re-committal of the Morgan bill, &C
cused the London United Company of
dishonorable transaction and said
he doubted whether so dirty trans.
action" has ever been entered into by
parties coming before Parliament. He
also said that the House should re-
sent this action by passing the Nor.
gan bill, thus giving the Morgans a
chance. Ashton's proposition was
greeted with cries of mo, no."
Ashton's motion was opposed by
Sir John Dickson Poynder, who said
the Morgan scheme was now a trun-
Gated affair and that it was not with
in the province of Parliament to in.
tervene In the discussions of rival
spectators, James w. Lowther
agreed that the Morgan promoters
had been badly used, but he said
that their enemies were those of thei
own household.
Sir Lewis McIvor chairman of the
Horse railroad committee, and 9th.
ers also opposed the motion, which
was finally withdrawn.
