in the Senate.

IN tne Senate.
Washington. April 16.-The debate
on the Chinese exclusion bill in the
senate was practically concluded yes
terday and voting on the bill and
amendments began at l o'clock to-
day. By general consent a vote was
taken yesterday on two important
amendments. offered by Mr.. Fair
banks, of Indiana. striking out the
definition as to Chinese students and
teachers, and they were agreed to
without division. These changes were
made with a view to reconciling some
Of the opposition to the measure,
which has been directed against the
rigid restriction on students and
teachers. and the unnecessary incon-
venience this would impose on the
educated Chinese classes coming to
this country.
The debate yesterday was partici-
pated in by Senators Heitfeld, Of Ida.
no; Penrose, of Pennsylvania, and
Turner, of Washington. in favor OF
the bill, and Senators Pritchard, OF
North Carolina, and Spooner, Of Wis
consin, in opposition. Mr.. Turner
made the assertion that politics had
crept into the discussion. and that
most Of the members of the majority
were opposed to the bill This brought
out sharp rejoinder from Mr.
SpoOner. who maintained that politics
had not figured in the discussion, and
that the opposition TO the present bill
was due entirely to it's conflict with
the treaty, and not because of any op
position to Chinese exclusion, which
was an established doctrine OF thS
government.

HITCH IN PEACE NEGOTIATIONS
England Refuses to Grant Amnesty to
Later Cape Rebels,


London, April l6.-The Daily Mail
this morning says serious hitch has
occurred in the peace negotiations in
South Africa. The cabinet council
has decided to refuse a strongly word
ed request from the Boer leaders at
Pretoria for an armistice pending the
negotiations. This alone is not likely
to cause the Beers to withdraw from
the conference. but what threatens to
stop the negotiations is the fact that
the government declines to place the
later Cape rebels upon the same foot
ing as the burghers with respect to
amnesty, and is not inclined to with
draw the Punishment proclamation
These features are regarded by the
Beers as two cardinal points in the ir
reducible minimum of terms which
Lord Miner went to Pretoria to as
certain. and in return for which the
Beers agree to the loss of independ
ence and a general surrender.
Their other claims. continued the
Daily Mail are that Great Britain shall
rebuild and restock the farms. take
over the legal claims and liabilities d
the two republics and grant a. repre-
sentative government within a shorter
period than is now contemplated.
