Closing Debate on the Chinese ExcIu-
sion Bill.

sion Bill.
Washington, April S.-Immediately
after the reading of the journal. the
house proceeded with the considera-
tion of the Chinese exclusion bill. Gen
eral debate having closed the bill was
read for amendment under the 5-min-
ute rule.
Mr.. Kleberg (Tex.) said that much
as he would like to vote for the bill he
could not do so unless the provision
prohibiting the coming to the United
States of Chinese, born in Hawaii and
the Philippines sisice their acquisition,
was stricken. out.
Mr. Naphen (Mass.) moved to strike
the provision from the bill
Mr.. Hit said he shared to a certain
extent the views of Mr.. Kleberg, but
thought the provision should remain
in the bill in order that the question
raised might be passed upon in the
courts.
Mr.. Naphen's motion was lost.
Two amendments were adopted
without division, one by Mr.. Clark
(Mo.) to amend the definition CT
teacher" under the privileged classes
so as to require that for two years be-
fore admission the teacher should have
been engaged in teaching the higher
branches and another by Mr.. Coombs
(Cal) to provide that Chinese stu
dents shall leave the country immedi-
ately upon the completion of their
course of study.

San Francisco, April S.-Rear Ad-
Rliral RobIey D. Evans has arrived
here from washington and will leave
at once for the Orient, to become SEN
ior squadron commander under Rear
Admiral Rogers, whom he will sue
ceed as commander-in-chief of the Asi.
attic squadron six months hence, when
the latter is retired. When asked re-
garding his plans Rear Admiral Evans
said:f '

but from the fact that Admiral Frank
Wildes is low stationed at Manila !
presume I will be placed in command

1t is intended that the two squadrons
shall exchange places every six
months, and thus afford a regular peri
cd of rest for the men after half a year

is also intended under the, new ar
rangement that the commander-in-
chief of the station shah bring the tive
squadrons together once year for
three months of drill
The rear admiral declined to dis
cuss affairs in the Orient, contenting
himself with saying that he would deal
with emergencies as they arose.

ST. LOUIS EXPOSITION
SOME FIGURES GIVING AN IDEA
OF THE PROPOSED MAGNITUDE
OF THE EVENT.

In order that one may have a gen
eral idea of the magnitude of the
Louisiana purchase exposition, ST.
Louis, 1908, Mr.. Chas. Reeves, sec
retary Of the committee on legislation
has compiled a few tersely stated facts.
+ The ST. Louis Worlds Fair will be
approximately twice as big as any
former international exposition.
The Centennial exposition at Phil
adelphia covered 236 acres, the Paris
exposition of 1S99-19OO, 336 acres, the
Columbia exposition at. Chicago, 633
acres, the Pan-American at Buffalo,
$50 acres. m
Is The St. Louis Worlds Fair will cover
1900 acres
The construction cost of the Paris
exposition was $9,OOO,OOO, that of the
Columbian exposition SIS 1922 900, and
the total cost of the Pan-American ex-
position was $1O,OOO,OOO. - r +.
The estimated cost Of the st. Louis
Worlds Fair will be $3O,0OO,OOO. This,
as a man of practical affairs, you know
will mean 100000 by the time the
work is completed.
Before the exposition gates are open,
May /, 1908, the city of st. Louis will
have expended the enormous sum of
$20,00O,OO0. OF this amount $5,OOO,-
600 was appropriated for the fair
through the municipal assembly her
citizens raised $5,OOO,OOO additional by
private subscription, and by popular
vote at special election October %,
the charter amendments were carried,
which will enable the city to expend
$4,000, 900 for street paving and other
public Improvements.

ANOTHER BODY FOUND
BODY OF DAN MCLAUGHLIN WHO

DobI VI Ian MCLfaOTElLlIS WF1O
PERIsHED IN THE BIG STORM. I.
The body of Dan Mclaughlin was
found Sunday morning in a snow bank
ten miles northwest of Medina. Hugh
Marston was the man whom discovered
the remains which were brought to
Medina for burial.
Mclaughlin and young Stewart lived
on the Stewart ranch and looked after
a big herd of sheep. When the big
storm began March IA it is supposed
both men went out to care for the ami
mails. Stewart's body was found after
the storm and Mclaughlin seems to
have wandered much farther before be-
ing overcome by the severe cold.
The deceased was about 45 years of
age and unmarried. He was we'll and
favorably known and the citizens will
see that he is properly laid away.
A diary, left on the table of their
house, indicated that the men were in
their rooms, after nightfall and went
out in the dark to look after the cattle.
Other evidences of this was the fact
that their lanterns were taken along.
One lantern was found to have been
blown out with lot of oil left and the
other had burned dry. Both were
found near Stewards body. T..
The father of Stewart came up from
Iowa and remained until his sons body
was found. He has advertised the
ranch for sale on account of the double

REACH AN AGREEMENT,
Conferees on the War Revenue Bill
Get Touether.

Washington, April S.-The conferees
on the war revenue repeal bill have
reached an agreement, the senate re-
ceding from it's amendment which re-
tanned the tax on "bucketshops." 1t
was stated that taken in consideration
with the repealed sections of the law
it was doubtful whether the senate
provision would stand and also that it
was quite likely that the provisions
would permit members of stock ex-
changes engaging in the business
which the amendment would prevent
among so-called bucketshop dealers.

TELEGRAPHIc MARKET LETTER

Minneapolis. April S.-Wheat WIS
inclined to display a little weakness at
the opening, due partially to Indifferent
cables and more rains in districts need
ing same. ,ss-ss.G H.
Receipts were liberal but the cash
business was very satisfactory. The
trade views the subsequent strength
as but temporary, due principally to-
short covering as longs are flooding the
pit with selling orders at 20 cents. AS
soon as these offerings are either
withdrawn or executed an improve
ment is almost inevitable.
Corn weakness early was also a
weakening factor in wheat. Clear
,ances being the largest in some time,
925,000 bushels, the sentiment is liable
to change very suddenly. Bradstreets
report is expected to show about two
million decrease in Chicago houses,
who are considered the most conserva-
tive say that while wheat may break
back occasionally it should be bought,
and later on expect to see a material
another black eye early in the session
on weaker cables and lack of support.
After recording about a half cent de-
cline yesterday sellers appeared as
buyers and the loss was easily regain
ed. Receipts were again under the
hundred mark, which is surprising that
it does not create more pronounced
bnllish outside feeling. But these con-
ditions are usually brought about in
a short period, and past observation
permits us to suggest that when no one
wants it, is the proper time to take
on freely.
Oats were comparatively firm, though
/ the trade was narrow with speculation
diverted to other grains.
Provisions were inclined to weakness
in sympathy with corn. Armour and
Cudahy were credited with taking on
considerable lard, while the other
traders confined their attention ITO
pork. The reaction from 15-cent
break was less pronounced, finding that
many investment orders were with
drawn. Mr. Valentine, who is the.
largest provision operator in Chicago
predicts $40 for top hogs, some time
during the summer. We do not con-
slider this prediction unreasonable and
\ 1t is quite possible that we will see
even higher prices.

CROPS IN THE VALLEY
WHAT THE INDICATION SHOW
WITH REFERENCE TO SEEDING

OF CROPS. ..% s.'a. ~. II
Grand Forks Herald: While the
floods and thaws and sunshine and
rains are getting the Red River valley
soil into readiness for sowing the seed
for the coming crop, the farmers are
all busy getting everything in readi-
ness for the task before them. Hun
dreds of carloads of drills, plows, har-
rows. and other implements for the
use of farmers have been shipped into
North Dakota within the past few
weeks and distributed among the deal
ers in these goods. A large force OF
men in the aggregate have been em-
ployed in setting up this machinery,
and the local merchants have already
sold thousands of dollars worth Of i'm
plements. Many carloads of horses
have also been shipped into the state
during the past few weeks for use in
their farming operations. This state
is raising many more horses now than
in years past, but still the supply is
nowhere near equal to the demand,
and the number shipped into the state
this year will aggregate several thous-
and.
A large proportion, probably IS per
cent of the land in this vicinity was
prepared for crop last fall, by plow-
ing, the remaining portion remaining
to be prepared before seeding is done.
or the total area cultivated in the vi
cinity of Grand Forks it may be stated
that approximately 60 per cent will be
sown to wheat, 20 per cent to flax, 10
per cent to oats, and the remaining 10
per cent to rye, barley, corn, etc. The
area sown to fax will be a trifle larger
than last year, and also the area sown
to corn. Wheat will remain, as in
years past, the staple crop of the Grand
Forks county farmers. The same will
hold good practically throughout the
valley. Farther west the proportion
of flax will increase. Nelson county
will devote one-third of it's cultivated
area to flax and Ward county will de-
vote 20 per cent of it's cultivated tracts
to fax Varying weather conditions
will affect these estimates but slightly.
& A larger yield may be anticipated
throughout the state this year. The
moisture now in the soil is believed
to be sufficient to give grain a good
start, which even prolonged drouth
would not be likely to seriously in
jure. Every year the farmers OF the
state are taking more care in the Sc
lection of seed, and in their methods
of taking care of the seed all the way
through; more careful plowing, har-
rowing, sowing, harvesting, thrashing
and marketing; more care in the mat
ter of the rotation of crops, etc. 1t
may be stated, therefore, that larger
yields and better grades will be grown
In North Dakota than in the past. It
is fact, however, that the area under
cultivation will not increase so rapidly
in the future as in the past. More
and more attention is being paid to
stock raising, and more will be re-
Iquired for pasturing than in the past.
Summer following is growing in favor.
and it is even probable that the area
sown to grains in Grand Forks coun-
ty will be less than it has been in the
past.
