Of its bridge across the Mississippi river at
Quincy. III. was passed
MI. Vest on the Chinese Bill
Consideration of the Chinese exclusion
bill tE-n was resumed, Mr.. Vest CMo)
bri-ny addressing the Senate in opposition
to some features of the pending measure.
H. opposed the provisions excluding
China men from participating in expositions
In this country and excluding Chinese from
IN" Philippine Islands.
Mr. Patterson tCol) explained that, in
IN. .sDSeuce of Mr.. Vest, the provision ex-
ci"ding Chinese who might come to the
uit.h States to participate in expositions
had been stricken out. He also said that
III some mysterious manner that proyi-
sion had been inserted in the bill and he
Thought il was at the instance Of the Sec
tarl Of the Treasury.
Mr. DoliiVer Howa} INTERRUPTED to say
tha' The statement of Mr.. Patterson con-
c'rutus the Secretary of the Treasury was
entirely unwarranted.
MI Vest insisted that the inhabitants OF
IT. fhlllppine Islands Were citizens OF the
United States
Sentiment of the South
Passing from the Chinese question Mr.
Vest regretted exceedingly that a sectional
discussion had been injected into the de-
bat" yesterday. He had hoped such dis
clIssi"n never again would be heard in the
Setat-- He paid a tribute to Lincoln. Gar
heid and Mckinley, and said the people of
the south were sincere mourners at the bier
OF all. The people of the north he. said
should remember that the south had pro-
duc-d great and patriotic leaders and
among them he mentioned General Wash
fngton and Robert E. Lee. He said he
never should cease to feel kindly toward
President Roosevelt. who in the broadest
spirit of craftsmanship had eulogized Rob
crt r.. Lee.
Mr. Vest adverted with deep feeling TO
the death of Wade Hampton In the course
OF a brilliant tribute to him Mr. Vest sa id
he was the highest type of Christian gen.
ti"man whose memory woulu live for cen
tGries
Mr.. Lodge for the Bill.
In support Of the pending bill Mr.. Lodge
tAsssb made somewhat extended speech.
although there were some provisions of the
measure to which he was opposed He
hoped some sections would he omitted and
some others modified. IL We are prepared
said he To admit Chinese from the Philip
pine Islands il is for the Senate to say so:
but. IN his opinion. Chinese from the Philip
pines should be excluded. Congress had ex-
ciuded China men from Hawaii and he re-
sarded Il as idle to argue that Congress had
not the authority to prevent Chinese from
coming TO this country from the Philip
pines
My belief is said ne, that IL is best
To shut the Chinese out of the United States
from the Philippines" -a-. ~,
He urged too. that the Philippine Isia nds

In For q Share of the
Proceeds.

County Treasurer Menge has
made report concerning the
recent sale OF lands at his Office for
the taxes of 1899.
This sale, as previously stated in
these columns, was the largest in
the history of the county, some
thing like $4,000 acres being sold.
The amount realized from the
sale footed up to the magnificen
sum of $1,000. Last years sale,
the proceeds OF which amounted to
80, 500, was considered at the time
to be an exceptionally good one,
but the one recently held "knocks
the spots" off of any of them. The
amount realized this year in Baraga
county exceeds by $500 the amount
taken in at the Houghton county
sale.
The moneys derived from the tax
sales are shared in by the sta te,

whirled around in the current and
taken under several times. At last
his strength failed; he released his
hold and sank. A hand was seen to
come above the surface once, but
after that no trace of the man was

from the falls with his craft before
the catastrophe, but as soon as he
had gained a short distance the cur
rent would pull him back again
under the dam. One man tried to
heave a rope to the drowning man,
