There was a revival of interest in the

The Chinese exclusion bill occupied
Monday in the Senate, Senators Foraker
and McLaurin Is. c. making extended
speeches in opposition to it. Mr.. Fora
ker contended that the measure was vio-
lative of the treaty with China and was
calculated TO prevent Americas CONNER
cial expansion in the far East. While
strongly supporting the policy of the gov
eminent to exclude Chinese laborers. he
maintained this could best be attained
by an extension of the present law. Mr..
McLaurin held that the drastic provis-
ions of the pending bill would cut off
Americas cotton trade with China and
wreck the cotton industry of the South.
Mr.. Teller briefly responded to Mr.. Fora
ker. urging that the right to abrogate
treaties was fully recognized. Interest
in the Cuban reciprocity debate seemed
to be waning. judged by the attendance
on the floor of the House, but the earn
estness of the speeches on both sides of
the question increased rather than de-
creased in intensity. That the Republic
can opponents of the bill are determined
to prolOng the struggle as much as possi-
BILE was made manifest by their refusal
to allow speeches 10 be printed in the
record. The speakers we're Messrs. Nc
Call (MasS) and Brantlcy (Ga.) for the
measure and Messrs. Robertson u4a.l and
