CHOLERA IS DISAPPEARING.
Alarm Of Relatives of Officials Is
 GroundIess, Says Taft.

washington. October 3O-Anxious in- quiries about the cholera situation in the Philippines from relatives and friends of officials now in the islands indicate undue alarm which is not borne out by the in- formation received by the bureau of in- sugar agents.
 A cable received today from Governor Taft states that the cholera has prac- tically disappeared from the island of Luzon and in Manila there have only been an average of two cases day dur ing the last ten days. Only five provinces are now seriously affected, the provinces of Iloilo, Occidental, Negroes, Capizas, Samar and Misamis. The commissioner of public health for the archipelago states that Cebu has already been de- clared clean port and that Manila will so be declared on the first of November.

RE-rNACTS TIE CHINESE LAW.
Bill Passed senate-Extends ProvIs-
ions to Insular Poesessiors-Pa-
cific Coast Measure Beaten.

Washington, April 17.-The drastic
Chinese exclusion bill originally
framed by the senators and repres-
sentatiyes from the Pacific coast
states met defeat in the senate yes
terday and in its place was substitut
ed measure offered by Mr. Plat, OF
Connecticut, extending the provisions
Of the present exclusion law and alsa
applying that exclusion. to all insular
territory under the jurisdiction of the
United States.
The vote By which the substitute
took the place Of the original bill was
yeas, 4S, to nays, %. Once the sub
stitution had been made. all senator )
joined in its support with the single
exception of Mr. Hoar, the substitute
being passed IS to 1. The friends of
the substitute showed their strength
throughout the voting on amendments
that preceded the final action and
succeeded in preventing any material
change in its features. Some minor
changes were made, admitting Chi
nese persons connected with national
expeditions, and providing for certifi-
Gates of Identification of Chinese in
our insular possessions. Otherwise,
however, the substitute was adopted
substantially in the form that Mr.
Platt presented it.
The senate, after disposing of the
Chinese exclusion bill, made the Phil
ippine civil government bill the un-
finished business
The senate failed to substitute the
enacting clause of the house bill for
the senate measure, SO that the bill
now will go to the house as an org
inal measure and from a parlia-
mentary standpoint will have to be
acted on and treated the same as
though the house had not passed a
Chinese exclusion bill already.
