complishing the end in view, the project of
securing the Sunday opening of the mu-
seums, etc, must eventually succeed. To
my mind there is nothing to prevent US
from directing the attention Of Congress
to the necessity of giving honest consdera-
ton to the merits of the proposition.
If this matter of opening the public in
stitutions on holidays and Sundays were
taken up by fair-minded men of some pub
lis spirit, and "agitated'' by the other peo-
pie interested, something could and would
be done in short order. perhaps before the
vacation of the present Congress. 20. S.
L. has done well to thus guide thought
from the satisfied appreciation of the good
and beautiful, as described in the first par
agraph of his article, to the greater and
Union is strength has been well and
many times said, but am In doubt Of the
true spirit of these words, which to me
preach a whole sermon, takes holt with
the many who read as they run
1t Is right that the majority should make
itself heard until relieved by the blessed
minority, the representatives, the chosen
agents Of the said majority.
l sincerely trust that all interested will
work toward the Introduction of a resolu-
ton before the proper committee, with a
view to having it presented before the
House for the authority and provision Of
means to give the public access to the
treasures Of knowledge now hidden from
them.
The librarian of Congress Is favorable to
this project. and would perhaps be willing
to extend his influence to bear on the whole
question 1t Is useless to detail here the
many reasons why these institutions should
be open to the public on Sundays and holt
days. We should agitate and continue to
agitate until Congress yields to us. United
action by the newspapers will do much to-

NOT A CLOSED INCIDENT.
Mai. Sylvester Asks Why Lieutenant
Did Not Sustain Policeman.

The matter Of the speed Of Representative
BeImouts automobile Tuesday afternoon
while returning from the races Is not
closed incident. Major Sylvester has called
upon Lieut.. Daley to explain why he held
court in the police station and failed TO
record an arres; that had been made by
Policeman Edwards. So far as Major Syl-
yester now understands the case he feels
that the policeman did his duty He will
ascertain from the lieutenant why the lat
ter did nor sustain the officer.
Az published in yesterdays Star. the in
str,iment on the policeman's bicycle regis
tered twenty-three miles an hour when ne
was paced by the electric vehicle, and cases
brought 10 the attention of the judges of
the Police Court under such conditions
usually meet with judicial disapproval in
a substantial manner. People prominent in
social and official life have been arrested
on previous occasions and some of them
have paid fines. Why there should have
been any discrimination in favor Of Mr.
Belmont or his empioye has not Yet been
made clear 70 Major Sylvester.
Speak.ng of the case this morning the
superinte ndent of police said he had called
uI.On the police lieutenant for full report
In writing upon the case Major sylvester
also referred 10 the many regulations re
garding movements of vehicles on the
street, and said he thought something
should be done in order to bring them to
the attention of the public. So far as the
speed regulation is concerned. he said, he
thought the owners of vehicles were IA
miiiar with its provisions, but there are
numerous other regulations with which
hundreds of people are not familiar. These
regulation or a synopsis of them, Major
Sylvester believes, should be regularly ad-
vertised in the papers.
Speaking of the case of Representative
BeImont's automobile" said a citizen 10 a
Star reporter today. -'it is not an unusual
thing 10 see such vehicles speeding east
ward toward the Capitol every morning
and moving in the opposite direction OTTER
the adjournment Of Congress. There are
several members of Congress who always
( seem TO be in a hurry when they get in
their horseless vehicles. Violations of the
Law BY them no doubt committed every
day"
Good for The Star for protesting against
discrimination in the enforcement of the
speed rules said another Washingtonian.
? "A friend of mine. veterinary surgeon, on
his way to visit case one evening, whose
horse logged down the avenue no faster
tran the cars. was promptly arrested. He
dropped s. collateral. I saw the whole
thing There was no lenlency shown there,
and barely justice"

SLOW WORK AT RICHMOND.
Virginia Convention Falls Into Leth-
argic Condition Again.
cial Corresponding Of The Evening Star

Special Correspondence Of The Evening Star.
RICHMOND, Va, March g. 1902.
The democratic conference has again
taken on a lethargic fever The members
appear to have lost interest since the de-
cision Of the understanding" clause, and
today the attendance was much smaller
than on yesterday. The Glass or compro-
mise report was considered further, the
section relating to the marking Of ballots
for illiterates occupied a good deal of the
day. The section was finally adopted as
reported, leaving the voter to designate
judge to prepare his ballot in case of dis
ability.
The section defining those who should
not vote was SO amended as to let in al
who had been engaged in dueling prior to
the adoption Of this constitution.
The conference declined to strike out the
section empowering counties to levy an
additional dollar capitation tax if it de-
sired to do SO.
Captain, Parks of Page offered an amend
ment which, II adopted Will effectually
eliminate traffic In votes in the state. Be-
fore a person can enter rpon the discharge

or support nor compensated supporters for

The resolution went over until tomorrow.
Section 9, providing for opening of bal

Section Z, which was agreed to, prohibits
the use of symbols on ballots AMI requires
that ballots shall be uniform Throughout
the state.

EXCLUSION OF CHINESE
Report of the Committee on Foreipn
Affairs

The reasons of the House committee ON
Foreign affairs for urging the exclusion of
Chihese eooiies are set forth in the report
iioih that committee on the Kahn bill The
report which was drafted by Representa-
tive Perkins of New York. states that the
essential features of the Kahn bin are re-
tanned The report says, in part: The
committee are unanimous I'm the opinion
that the admission of Chinese laborers into
this country would be serious evil. Every
endeavor has been made to report an act
which will secure the exclusion of Chinese
coolies. We recognize the fact that frauds
unoer the present exclusion laws result
chiefly from the abuse of transit privileges
and the Introduction of Chinese claiming to
be merchants who are really laborers We
have endeavored to guard against those
evils.
On the othtr .land, this country desires
to obtain its fair share of commerce with
the east and with China, and in our treat
ment of the privileged classes, the genuine
merchants, students, etc, allowed by the
treaty to enter this country, we have en-
deavored to avoid any discourtesy or an
fraud
The report further states that the few
provisions of the Kahn bill stricken out
were such as might have brought into
question the constitutionality of the meas
ure
The report further states: 1.-The commit
tee have stricken out the provision of the
Kahn bill which forbade the employment
OF Chinese on ships carrying the American
nag on the Pacific. We regard this provis-
Ion as foreign to the purposes of the bin,
wnlch Is to prevent the entry OF Chinese
into this country. We also regard it as in
judicious. The result OF such provision
would be to compel steamships that now
float the American flag on the Pacific to
take British register. This lie certainly not
the way to build up our merchant marine,
for which there Is 30 great a demand The
work done by the Chinese on these ships
in the intense heat Of the tropics is work
which our American workmen could not do,
should not do and would not do
Representative Clark of Missouri has re-
served the right to make a dissenting re-
port against the employment of Chinese
sailors on American ships.

PURE FOOD BILL.
Steps Taken to Urge It's Passage by
Congress.

At a meeting Of the advisory and legisla-
tive committees Of the national pure food
and drug congress held in parlor II Of the
National Hotel last evening, Frank Hume
in the chair and Alexander ]. Wedder-
burn serving as secretary, the condition Of
the pure food bill was considered. The bill
has been reported from the House commit
tee on interstate and foreign commerce and
will be reported from the manufactures
committee to the Senate, and the commit
tees considered the steps necessary to fur
ther the passage of the measure. The mat
ter was carefully gone over, and 1t was de-
cided to use every possible means to Sc
cure the favorable action Of Congress
There was no doubt expressed as to the
passage by both houses il the bill can be
properly considered, it being well under
stood that there is but little opposition to
1T in either the Senate or House. This bill
has been reported nine times to the House
and eight times to the Senate, having
passed the Senate once as the Paddock bill.
While 1t has been amended the essential
features remain the same. 1t was stated
that it has been Endorsed by the national
pure food congress and by over 05 per cent
Of all the great agricultural, scientific, med
zeal, manufacturing and commercial organi-
cations In the country and has been petit
toned for by hundreds of state and local
organizations in all the states and by hun
dreds of thousands of consumers.
1t was decided to make an active canvass,
and the secretary was directed to COM
municate with each member Of the pure
food congress and with the officials Of
every allied organization and urge them to
act Immediately, SO as to enlist the CO.
operation Of their senators and representa-
tives in securing consideration in both
houses, to the end that the bill can be
passed at this session. He was also In
structed to request the cooperation Of the
press of the country In behalf Of the
measure.
The chairman Of the executive committee
was requested to at once take steps to Sc
cure funds necessary to defray the ex-
pense of postage, stationery. printing and
clerical work. and the members Of the
congress and each organization connected
Herewith were urged to contribute.
Resolutions were adopted regarding the
death of DR.. w. S. Thompson of Washing
ton, chairman Of the executive committee,
and 1t was declared that In the death of
DIR. Thompson the cause of pure food and
drugs loses an earnest advocate and active
working friend and this committee loses
an esteemed. honored and efficient member
and the country a valued and progressive
Citizen
The resolutions were ordered to be spread
upon the records, and the secretary was
instructed to furnish a copy to the family
Of DIR. Thompson.
