BILL AGREED UPON.
Chinese Exclusion Measure to Be Re-
ported to Senate.

WASHING ton, March 13.-The senate
committee on emigration has agreed to
report the Chinese exclusion bill known
as the Mitchell-Kahn measure. 1t is
substantially the same as the modified
bills submitted by the Pacific coast
committee, only a few verbal correc-
tions having been made. A point
which occasioned much consideration
by the committee was whether or not
Chinese should be excluded from the
Philippines or whether the whole pro-
position should be left to the Philippine
commission.
The committee agreed to retain the
provision of absolute exclusion. taking
the ground that the United States want
I'd to retain the Philippines for the Fill
pinos and that the latter We're as much
opposed to the admission of Chinese as
were Americans. Another section of the
bill about which the committee debated
at length was that excluding Chinese
sailors from ships of American register.
This provision also was retained in the
bill, but with a proviSo to the effect that
in case of accident, stress of weather or
serious illness the captain of vessel
may ship Chinese crew for the voy-
age upon which he may have entered
The provisions regarding the privilege
of transit Chinese across the United
States are changed in phraseology, but
remain practically the same in effect
There are also verbal changes in the
provision concerning the detention of
Chinese who seek entry at American
vided for failure to observe this pro-
vision:
Every person bound under this section
to detain Chinese person who shall re-
fuse wilfully neglect promptly to per-
form such duty shall be deemed guilty of
a felony and on conviction shall be pun
ished by fine of not less than 81 600 nor
more than 5000. or by Imprisonment by a
term of not less than one year, or by both
such fine and Imprisonment
The paragraph concerning the return of
Chinese is changed SO as to read as fol-
lows:
1.-The duty of the returning said Chinese
person is hereby imposed on the matter,
owner. consignor or agent of the vessel
and the railway corporation as general of
dcers and agents and owners or general
officers and agents of other transportation
lines or modes of conveyance, collectively
and severally, bringing him to the port at
which entry is denied him or aiding him
hitherto.
Every person bound under this section
to return a Chinese person who shah re-
fuse or wilfully neglect promptly to. per-
form such duty is subject to fine and i'm
prisonment, and subordinate officers

penalties

Direct Line Through st. Joe.

St. Joseph, March 13.-The st. Joseph
& Grand Island railroad, the connecting
link between this city and the Union
Pacific overland route has been absorbed
by the. latter road. There has been
marked activity in the st. Joseph and
Grand Island stocks in New York for
the past month and at a late hour last
night it was learned that majority of
the stock of the road had passed into
the hands of the Hartman interests.
The road was formerly a part of the
Union Pacific but upon the reorganiza-
ton of the latter road the Grand Island
became an independent system and has
since remained so. The absorption of
the Grand Island by the Hartman in
terests will give the Union Pacific a
direct entrance into st. Joseph over its
own tracks, thereby giving this city
another direct route to the Pacific coast.
Up to within short time ago it was
thought that the Burlington had ac-
Quired possession of the road.

by the Rock Island today OF Withdrawal
from the east and west bound military
agreement and dissolution will probably
follow. The notice was given after a con-
sultatfon between the officials of the COM
pany. and, although they refused to give
any reason for the action, 1t was said to
have been taken on account of the detern-
nation of the government to compel rail-
roads to obey the existing law Hereto
fore only the freight department of the
roads have abandoned the pooling agree
ments and the Rock Islands notice is the
first move on the part Of the passenger de-
partment.
General opinion today seemed to be to-
the effect that all agreements in the pas
senger line would have to be dissolved
within a short time. The Rock Islands
notice may have some effect upon tOmOr-
rows meeting in St. Louis, which will be
held with a view to reorganiZing the
Southwestern Passenger association. 1t
is expected that the dissolution of the mill
itary agreement will be followed by SINH
lar action with reference to the immigrant
bureau and marine agreement.

Lessons i'm

persons who are not Interested in or
who have not a latent talent for some

that line. BY showing to him that he
has talent we give him confidence in
himself TO begin with. and then by edu-
cation ard practice we give him facil-

subjects. and in the course OF the
earlier ractice lessons begin to
teach him voice meditation, and other
lretinements in the manner of speech.
