Congress. Proceeding.


Washington. April l6.-The debate
on the Chinese exclusion bill vas prae
tleally concluded Tuesday and vot
ing on the bill and amendments be-
gan at o'clock this afternoon.
BY general consent a vote was tax
en- on two important amendments az
fered by Mr.. Fairbanks OF Indiana
striking out the definition as to Chit
nese students and teachers and they
were agreed 10 without divisions
These changes were made with a view
10 reconcilIng some OF the opposition
to the measure which has been direct
ed against the rigid restrictions on
students and teachers and the I'M
necessary inconvenience this would
impose upon educated classes coming
to this country. The debate was par
tieipated In by Senator's Heitfeld OF
Indiana. Penrose OF Pennsylvania and
Turner OF Washington In favor OF the
bill. and Senators Pritchard OF North
Carolina and Spooner OF Wisconsin In
opposition.
Mr.. Turner made the assertion that
politics had crept into the discussion
and that most OF the members OF the
majority were opposed TO the bill
This brought out a sharp rejolner from
Mr.. Spooner. who maintained that poll
tiles had not figured In the discussion.
and that the opposition 20 the present
bill was due entirely TO It's conflict
with the treaty and not because OF
any opposition to exclusion which was
an established doctrine OF the govern.
ment
With the close OF the Cuban re-
ciprocity debate in the house. the
leaders announced that all danger Of
the bill being weighed down with I'M
desirable amendments was over aud
that they felt assured the bill would

from the committee. As the bill In its
present form is sure 70 command
thrce-fourths OF the vote OF each side
Of the house. It's passage was certain
II Il successfully passed the stage when
amendments could be offered.
The only cause OF anxiety heretofore
has been the possibility that enough
Republicans would join with the Dem
ocrats to override the chair and tack
on the bill an amendment 70 abolish
the dlfierendal on refined sugar. All
the energies OF the leaders have been
directed. therefore. 10 bring pressure 20

TO induce them from aiding this plan
and Tuesday az the close OF the
session OF the house. II was announced
tina; the entire Republican delega-
lions from Michigan and California,
who constitute the head and front OF
the opposition. had agreed not TO vote
10 override the ruling Of the chair. Mr.
Watson (Rep. Ind. who Is acting as
the whip for the majority does not
believe over a dozen Republicans al

on this proposition. II would require
more than 90 Republican votes TO place
on the bill the amendment which might
endanger It's ultimate passage. as sew
eral Democrats. Il r. understood. also
have declared their intention TO stand
by the ruling OF the chair.
An unsuccessful effort was made
again by Mr. Payne TO secure an agree
