Senator McAIillan's committee has been

Grafton of the subject had framed and
favorably reported what it considered a
conservative and moderate measure
Members of the committee are somewhat
inclined to be surprised over the reeep-
tion that has been given it by the citizens
of the District and. as one Of the commit
tee said this afternoon, are rather dis
posed TO abandon the District to the ten
der mercies of the House.
The committee apparently despairs Of
framing any measure that viii suit even
majority of the important interests, and
has, therefore. given up the entire busi-
ness. The meeting of the committee
scheduled for tomorrow has been aban-
doned, and the bill viii remain on the
Senate calendar, where it may or may not
be taken up again during the session.

TWO BILLS AWAITING

Chinese Exclusion and Oleo
Measures Before Him.

Two important bills, each of which has
been the subject of protracted contests
in Congress now await only the Presi-

They are the Chinese exclusion and oleo-
