they were Christians. Mr. Gaines Dem,
Tenn told of the slavery he had seen In
Jolo.
The debate on the Philippine question
was finally exhausted, and when the
items relating TO the Postoffice Depart
ment were reached Mr. Hill offered his
amendment adding 100000 TO the appro-
priation for increasing the salary of rural
carriers. He showed that their net earn
ings, after paying for care of horses, was
but 3S cents day. as an average.
Mr.. Loud (Rep., Cali. chairman of the
Committee on Postofiices and Post Roads
took issue with MIR. Hill. declaring that
the proposition was but a bid for votes
He explained the postal situation at some
length. His remark nettled Mr.. Hill, who
declared that Mr.. Loud had grossly in
suited him by his charge. He did not en-
quire into the politics of the carriers. He
was for civil service reform, and even
had Democratic postmasters in his dis
trict.
A Novel Proposition.
DR.. Norton tDem., Ohio favored the
amendment, and in a humorous speech
suggested a way to secure its adoption.
Let Mr.. Hill change the proposition to
read 100000 to provide shelter and pro-
lection TO the rural free delivery carriers
on duty in the United States, the amount
to be placed at the disposal of the men,
bers of Congress-" then it would pass, he
said. Dr.. Norton thus referred to the
language Of the appropriation for the
army post at Manila
The amendment was carried after much

LOUISIANA SUGAR GROWERS.
Protest Before House Committee
Against Cuban Tariff Reduction.

Protest Before House Committee
Against Cuban Tariff Reduction.
Louisiana sugar cane growers and re-
iiners were represented before the Com
mittee on Ways and Means yesterday by
J. d. Hill and Ex-Governor Yarmouth, of
Louisiana, who used considerable of their
time in denouncing the Spanish merchants
who had advocated free sugar.
They claimed that Messrs. Place, Men,
side, rather than the Cuban side, and
were not entitled to consideration from
Congress as Cubans.
Mr.. Hill said that no reason existed for
the cry for help from Cuba, and. as the
proposition to grant it involved the en-
tire industrial rights of the United States.
he considered it his duty to unmask the
hyprocrites making such appeal.
He denied that Cuba was unable to re-
construct itself without American aid. as
serting that the soil was the same as be-
fore the war and the country in a better
condition.
Governor Yarmouth made an impas-
stoned appeal for the Louisiana planters.
sarCastically contrasting the condition of
the Spanish-grandees of Cuba, who owned
all the plantations, with that of the Gu
ban laborer saying that a reduction in the
tariff would build up an aristooracy in
Cuba at the expense of the American
planters. He predicted that free Cuban
sugar would mean Cuba filled with con
tract laborers, and the production of su-
gar immensely increased.
Mr.. Yarmouth referred to Governor
General Woods position as appropriate
from 4 Cuban standpoint, and denounced
the Cuban representatives as partisans of
Blanco and Weyler.
Governor Warmouth's speech was
greeted with laughter and applause.

SPRINGS SURPRISE ON SENATORS.
Senate Committee Listen. to speech-
es on Bill by Hon. j. w. Foster
and Gen. O. o. Howard.

The Senate Committee on immigration
yesterday continued to hear persons in
terested in the proposed legislation rela-
tive to the exclusion of Chinese. The
committee is rapidly learning a great deal
regarding the peculiar methods Cinnamon
resort to in order to gain a foothold in
the United States. and yesterday Commits
sioner of Immigration fPowderly sprang q
surprise on Senator Penrose and his col
leagues. Two Cinnamon who have been
living IN Washington for four years were
brought before the committee
Through an Interpreter they admitted
that they had purchased bogus return GER
tificates in Hongkong, paying s439 for one
and Sio for the other, purporting to certi-
~ that they were merchants of the firm
OF Hip Lung & Co.. of Chicago.
Crossed the border.
They also admitted that they had crossed
the border at a point in North Dakota on
these certificates, and had ever since lived
IN the United States. These Chinese are
now in the custody of the Department of
Justice, and will be deported.
The surprise sprung by Mr. Powderly
with his two .'fnds" somewhat disconcert-
ed TWO other gentlemen who appeared be-
fore the committee. Hon. John w. Fos-
ter, ex-Secretary of State, and a close
friend of the late Ii Hung Chang, and
Gen. o. o. Howard, who believe that the
bars now erected against immigration
should be lowered somewhat. and that we
should welcome the Chinese as freely as
we now do immigrants from other nations
Ex-Secretary Foster was the first who
addressed the committee He is said to
represent the Hawaiian sugar interests,
certain missionary boards, and is also
supposed to have connection as an at
torney with the Chinese Government
However this maybe, Mr. Foster is op-
posed TO the enactment of the Mitchell
Kahn bill, which he claims Is a plain vio-
lation of existing treaties with China.
Claims Return Fayors.
Mr.. Foster claims that our Government
had upon four occasions asked China to
modify treaties in the interest OF Ameri-
can citizens. and that in each instance
China had acceded to our request. He
submitted to the committee three propo-
stions.
The first was that any law passed by
this Congress which continues the exclu-
sion of Chinese laborers beyond 1904
would not only be without international
authority, but would be in violation of
treaty stipulations.
Second, he said that the exclusion laws
should not be made applicable to all our
insular possessions, and said the
Hawaiian Islands presented the exact
state of affairs which was contemplated
by the American uegotiators of the ex-
clusion treaty. u

pines. The question of rural free delivery
also occupied considerable attention. and
was disposed of when the House, after a
lively debate. agreed to the amendment
offered by Representative Hill (Rep.,
Conn., to add 100000 to the bill for the
purpose of increasing the pay of rural
free delivery carriers.
The first feature of the day was the
speech of Representative Cummings
Dem, N. W, in which he rebuked his
party colleagues for refusing to vote for
an appropriation Ito give shelter and
protection" to the soldiers in the Philip
pines.
Bring soldiers Home.
Mr.. Pou dem, n. c. said the best
method of af1ording protection to our SOL

The Interstate Commerce Commission

report to Congress. The report is long.

Of the document is the comment Of the
commission on recent investigations into

by the commission and charged with de-
hberately violating the statute law, and

Vouchers have been destroyed and
bookkeeping SO manipulated as to oblit-
crate evidence of transactions conducted
in violation of the Interstate commerce
law. Hundreds of thousands of dollars,
the report says, have been paid in un-
lawful rebates to a few great packing
houses.
The commission recommends that the
existing laws be so amended that railway
managers who desire to observe them can
do SO without risk Of sacrificing their
property.
The commission calls attention to the
fact that 1t has been judicially determined
that a corporation Is not liable for viola
tions of these laws. and that the agent
alone can be punished.
The commission urges Congress TO en-
large it's powers for the enforcement Of
the law, and states that during the year
