In a speech on the race question, Mr..
Bowers, OF Mississippi. pointed with pride.
he said, to the fact that in his State the
ratio of mulattos TO the colored race popu-

less to-day than it has been at any time
since the war. He declared that there was
less intermingling with negroes than ever
before and that the mulatto steadily has

Bowers asserted that the negro's entry
into politics simply was to serve party

was an aid of Republican ascendancy. He
believed he said. that race purity could
be preserved absolutely by the utter segre-
cation of the races in every scholastic re-
lation. The slightest intermingling of the
races, he declared, was fraught with peril.
He said that the negro was not fit for self
government, and he was greeted with Dem
ocratic applause when he said the negro,
within constitutional limits, should be elm

CANCEL|NG MACHINES
DISCUSSED BY SENATE
Rental Price Denounced by Mr..
Culbertson as Too High-Bill
Jones's Epitaph.
SPEECH BY PATTERSON

WASHINGTON, April S.-The contracts
for canceling machines used by the Post
office Department was debated at length in
the Senate to-day in connection with the
postofiice appropriation bill. Mr.. Culbert-
son introduced amendment reducing the
rental of the machines. and the Democratic
senators charged that the rental now paid
was the same that was paid under the con-
tracts made by George w. Beavers. when
he was chief of the salary and allowance
division of the Postoffice Department. and
that they were excessive. Mr.. Lodge de-
MED the charge, saying that there was no
proof of its truth.
MIR. Lodge offered for Mr.. Hear an
amendment permitting the appointment as
postmaster OF persons who have princi-
district OF the Office 10 which they may be
appointed, and repeating the existing law
which requires postmasters to reside in
the district The provisions aroused oppo-
siticn on the part of Messrs. Money and
Culbertson.
Mr.. Money said that the statute should
be restricted rather than extended and he
said that in his State postmasters were
carpetbaggers brought from one part Of the
State TO the other. He added that he had
no desire to take from the Republicans the
privilege of appointing their own men to
office, because he said every time you
appoint a Democrat we lose a man and
you gain one want the Republican au-
thorities TO make the Republican party as
odious possible in my State. and 1 may
add that in the case of Bill Jones's
epitaph, they have done their best. and
angels could do no more The bill was
not completed.
The first hours of the session were de-
voted to a discussion by Mr.. Patterson
of the Chinese question, in which he MAIN
taiEed that the exclusion laws would be
ineffective after Dec. unless there was
additional legislation. In the course OF
Mr.. Patterson's speech, Messrs. Mitchell.
Cullom and Spooner questioned him as to
v neither the treaty of 1884 had not had the
effect of entirely superceding and repeating
the treaty OF 1880. but Mr. Patterson con-
tended that such was not the case.
Mr.. Spooner made the point that IL the
treaty of 1894 had the effect of repeating
the treaty of 1850. the latter treaty must
have had the effect of superceding the
treaty of 1865 Mr. Patterson, however,
did not yield the point.
Mr.. Spooner suggested that the treaty be-
tween the United States and China would
have the effect of holding in force the
other treaties existing at the time. includ-
ing the treaty of 1884. but Mr.. Patterson
did not accept this construction. He con-
tended that the only safe method was TO
make explicit declaration IN the form of
legal enactment as he predicted that unless
this course was pursued serious agitation
would ensue.

RITTER SECURES RARE
SPECIMENS OF SEA LIFE
California Scientist Returns from
Dredging Voyage Off Point
Conception.

UNIVERSITY OF CALIFORNIA, April s.
William E. Ritter, professor of zoology at
the University of California, has just re-
turned from voyage on the steamer Alba
tross. having been engaged for the last
month in collecting specimens of sea life
for scientific research. The entire month
was spent in sounding and dredging the
ocean off San Diego, although most of the
work was carried about Point Loma
La Jolla and Catalina islands,
Some dredging was done about 2i0 miles
off Point Conception, this being the farthest
the steamer sailed from land. Here the
abyssmal depths began, the soudings rang
ing anywhere from 10000 to IA, 200 feet
1T was in these great depths that we
found the most interesting specimens of
sea life,' said Professor Ritter. There is
an abundance of life there, and it is sur
prising the gorgeous colors the inhabitants
wear. The range of color is astonishing
The predominating life at the great depths
is the starfiSh and the urchin. The
sea urchin is most abundant in individuals
and kinds
Samples of the bottom were taken by the
expedition at all places and science will be
interested to know that bitumen was found
in large quantities in the great depths.

Special the Indianapolis Journal
WASHINGTON, April S.-The Democrats
are wrestling with the question of chair
manship selections for the st. Louis con-
vention. 1t doubtless will devolve wholly
on the Democratic national committee TO
make these selections, on account of the
contest over the Democratic nominations.
and in this view of the situation il is diff
ficult for the leaders to make decision far
in advance. But the Indication are that
Representative Williams. of Mississippi the
leader of the Democratic forces in the
House, will be chosen as temporary chair
man. Williams is in high favor with the
Democrats and he can have anything he
wants. and in addition to that success
full has he been during the past few months
in placing before the country in the best
possible light the weakness of the Demo-
cratic position, TO make them appear strong,
that he has become so much of party
idol that il is desired to place him in the
front of the campaign. No plans have been
made for their permanent chairman. but
probably one of the leading senator's will be-
chosen.

MANY ALIENS SUBJECT
TO DEPORTATION LAWS
Commissioner Sargent Believes
There Are Thousands in Flee
mosynary Institutions.
AN EXTENDED INQUIRY

Special to the Indianapolis Journal.
WASHINGTON, April S.-If the present
plans of the federal authorities are carried
out there will be a wholesale deportation
of aliens during the coming year. An in
quiry which has been in progress several
months develops that there are thousands
of aliens confined in the eleemosynary in
stitutions of the several States, who, I'M
der the law, are subject to deportation.
Reports are daily received by the commits
sioner general of immigration from various
sections of the United States advising him
of the presence in public institutions of
aliens who, under a rigid enforcement of
the law, should be deported at the ex-
pense of steamship companies which
brought them here. Under present statutes
any alien be deported who becomes a
public charge within two years after land
ing in this county. Thousands of for
eigners of this class, as well as those to
whom the law does not apply. are supported
and maintained in asylums and other char
liable institutions in this country. The in
quiry in question extended into every State
and Territory in the Union. 1t under
taken in accordance with an act of Con-
gress and the conclusions will be used as a
basis in drafting laws which will be en-
acted in the future to prevent the landing
of insane and diseased immigrants
THE report will show" said Commits
sioner General Sargent, that the condi-
tons which brought about this nvestiga-
ton are quite general throughout the
United States. OF course the evil is more
pronounced in the East but il exists TO a
greater or less extent in the middle and
northwestern States. The results will sur
prise most people, and will bring sharply
to the attention of the lawmakers the
necessity for more rigid statutes. 1t also
enables us to locate thousands of deport-
able immigrants whom we could not have
reached in any other way"
The reports from Indiana have been re-
ceived, but have not yet been tabulated.
1t is understood that the conditions in
that State are not bad as in other sec
tions of the middle West.

WASHINGTON, April S.-There are sew
eral aspirants in the field for the various
honors TO be passed around at the Chicago
convention. OF course, no one openly
announce his candidacy for any of these
positions, but there are many prominent
party men quietly at work with the hope
of capturing the temporary permanent
craftsmanship of the big gathering of Re-
publicans which will be held at Chicago in
June. The names of several senators and
representatives have been mentioned, not
ably Senators Spooner, of Wisconsin, Bev-
eridge. of Indiana, Lodge, of Massachu-
sets, and Representatives Watson, of In
diana, Cousins, of Iowa, and others. The
name OF former Secretary Root has recent
iy been mentioned In connection with the
temporary craftsmanship. No better selec-
ton could be made. Mr.. hoot has been
prominently identified with the Roosevelt
administration. His ability as a convinc-
ing public speaker and his intimate knowl-
edge OF party affairs will assure an inter-
esting address before the convention should
he take the gavel.
