CAUGHT MAPPING.
Democrats in House Let Bank
Charter Bill Go Through.

Washington. April S.-The House pas
sed the Chinese exclusion bill, after in
cooperating in if several amendments
which increased the drastic character
of the measure. The principal one not
only excludes Chinese by birth and de-
scent but all Chinese Of mixed blood.
The chief struggle was over an amend
ment to prohibit the employment Of
Chinese soldiers on American ships. An
amendment covering this proposition
was at first ruled out on point of or
der, but subsequently was modified TO
evade the ruling and was adopted, 100
"A. AS passed the bill practically re-
enacts all the existing exclusion laws
and Incorporates with them the exist
ing treaty regulations. It extends these
exclusion laws to the Philippines and
the other possessions of the United
States and forbids Chinese labor in our
country The Philippine commission,
by the terms of the bill. is directed to
adopt proper measures for the enfore-
ment of the provisions of the bill in
the Philippines. The conference report
upon the war revenue tax repeal was
adopted and the bin sent to the White
house Late in the afternoon Mr.. Fowl
er On. j. moved to pass under sus-
pension of the rules the Senate bill to
extend the charters of national banks
for twenty years. The Democrats were
taken completely by surprise. As it was
after the usual hour for adjournment
the attendance was slim. The Demo-
Gratis attempted to filibuster, but a call
of the House finally secured q quorum
and the bill was passed.

county attorney. Mrs. Mary Stanley
viii be held and the court will begin the
selection of jury today. The dismissal
of the two defendants was a surprise to
the public and is explained only by the
theory that they may now be used as
witnesses against Mrs. Stanley. If the
state desires to hold Mrs Mccoy and
Bessie Browning later. they will be re-
arrested. The released defendants no
sooner found themselves at liberty than
they were confronted by the problem
of existence. They had no home and
were compelled to ask for shelter over
night in the jail. A temporary home
will be found for them by friends.
