Washington, April 15.-The debate
OF the Chinese exclusion bill was
practically concluded A favorable
vote was taken on two amendments
offered by Senator Fairbanks striking
Out the definition as to Chinese stu
dents and teachers. These changes
We're made with a view to recOnciling
some OF the opposition to the
measure which has been directed
against the rigid restrictions on stu
dents and teachers and the unneces-
sary Inconvenience that would be i'm

debate was participated in by Sen

Senators Pritchard of North Carolina

ton
With the close of the Cuban reel
procity debate in the house the
leaders announced that all danger of
the bill being weighted down with
undesirable amendments was over
and that they felt assured that the
bill would pass in the shape in which
it came from the committee AS the
bill in its present form is sure to
command thTee-fOurths of the vote Of
each side of the house, its passage
was certain if it successfully passed
the stage when amendments could be
offered. An unsuccessful effort was
made by Mr.. Payne to secure an
agreement to limit the general de-
tate. When the house adjourned
there remained 35 members who de-
sired to speak. The debate was with
cut particular interest.

QUAY is ON TOP.
He Scores Victory in PennsyIvania's
Republican Convention.

Harrisburg, Pa, June 12.-Judge
Samuel W. Peunypacker. of Philadel
phia. has nominated for governor
over Attorney General John p. Ellin,
of Indiana, by Yesterdays republi-
to 152.
Ex-State Senator William NJ.
Brown. of New Castle, and Major
Isaac Il. Brown, of Erie, were nomi-
mated by acclamation for lieutenant
governor and secretary of internal
affairs respectively.
Senator Quay was unanimously
chosen chairman of the republican
state committee by a suspension of
the rules. requiring the state chair
man to be chosen by the nominees
and the presiding officers of the con-
yention and he will conduct the cam
paign for the state ticket. The plat
form endorses the administration of

ty to the principles of a protective
tariff, declares for pure and honest
ballot reform. condemns trusts, ap-

and attorney general in proceeding

mention of the state administration.
pcnnypacker's nomination is a per-
sonal victory for Senator Quay. FL
kin was formerly one of Quay's
chief Iieutenants and wnen he became
candidate it was thought he was
the senator's choice. After delegates
friendly to Elltin were elected in sey-
eral counties, Quay advised against
the attorney generals candidacy in
the interest of party harmony
Elkin declined to withdraw. Quay
then made a public declaration
against his candidacy and when Pen
nypacker was suggested for the
nomination the senator tacitly en-
Gorsed him. Elkin was backed ny
GOV. Stone and other members of the
state administration.
Quay assumed direction of Penny
packers campaign and from the start
predicted Ellin would not be nomI-
mated. The senator came here on
Saturday with Senator Penrose and
Insurance Commissioner Durham and
opened headquarters for Pennypack-
er. Elkin and his lieutenauts were
also on the ground early and until
the strength of the rival candidates
was revealed at Tuesday nights ceu-
cuses it was conceded that the con-
fest WAS very close.

MR.. THURBER'S TESTIMONY.
II Is Given Before the Cuban Commit.
tee and Causes "a Stir Among Sena-


Washington, June 12-F. b. Thur
Der, president of the Exporters as
sociation, the witness that has been
wanted by the Cuban committee, was
before the committee yesterday.
Senator Teller produced a copy of a
voucher for $3.50 showing that that
sum had been paid by the military
government of Cuba by authority of
Gov. Wood to the United States EX-
port association, of which Thurber is
president.
Thurber acknowledged that he had
received the amount and said it was
one of three payments he had re-
ceived from the same source. The re-
ceipt was dated April ., 1902, and
states that it was for advocating a
reduction in the duties on Cuban pro-
ducts, with a reciprocal reduction for
United States products going into
Cuba" The witness said he thought
$4,000 worth of literature had been
circulated. He said he had received
contribution of $4,000 from Mr.. Have
meyer, of the sugar refining com
pany. when he solicited that gentle
man for a subscription.
The testimony given before the
committee on Cuban relations by +.
B. Thurber. showing that between
$4,000 and $4,000 had been paid out of
the Cuban treasury under the direc-
ton of Gov. Gen. Wood for the pro-
motion of the effort to secure reci-
procity between the United States
and Cuba, caused a sensation in the
senate.
Opinions as to the ultimate effect
of the testimony are varied, but the
immediate results are seen in the de-
cision reached during the afternoon
to have two caucuses in the early
future. The first of these will be held
by the beet sugar republican senators
to-day and the second by all the re-
publican senator Friday or Saturday.
Th purpose of the meeting of the
sugar men is to consider the Situa-
ton as affected by yesterdays devel-
opments, and also to receive Il report
from the committee appointed TO con
fer with the republican members of
the Cuban committee. This commit
tee will state that the Cuban com
Illllttt HiS UttIiIItu W NoliNl'lti All
propositions looking to a compromise.
The propositions that have been
made are tNo-the first for a rebate
and the second for commercial
treaty with Cuba.
The committee will say that both
plans were rejected and that the
members of the Cuban committee
would not change their position that
there must be a straight reduction
Of 20 per cent. without any condi
tions except that the president
might have power to revoke the con-
cession in case he found that the Gu
ban planters were not getting the
benefit of it. The full conference
will be in the nature of a caucus and
some Of the beet sugar men say they
will enter it only with the under
standing that they will not be bound
by any conclusion that may be
reached.
