wrong,


Washington. April 1.-the Chinese
exclusion bill occupied the attention
OF the senate throughout Monday. Sen
ators Foraker and McIaurin OF South
Carolina made extensive addresses 10
opposition. Senator Foraker contend
ed that the pending measure was VIC
latiye Of our pending treaty with China
and was calculated TO prevent our com
mereial expansion In the far east.
While strongly supporting the policy
OF the government to exclude Chinese
labOrers. the opposing senator main
tanned that this could be best accom-.
piished by an extension OF the preselA
law. holding that the drastic provis.
ions OF the pending bill would cut on
our cotton trade with China and thus
wreck the cotton industry Of the south.
Senator Teller briefly responded TO
Senator Foraker. urging that the right
10 abrogate treaties was fully recog'
niEed.
Senator Lodge gave notice Of an
amendment striking out the clause
prohibiting the employment OF Chinese
sailors on American ships.

the ministers at the meeting, which
lasted an hour discussed a commuhi-
cation from Lord Kitchener. This is
quite within reason and government

Lord Kitchener's message may have
been of vital Importance. the Associ

that the sudden summons OF the cabi.
