ACTION is
DEFERRED
ON THE STATEHOOD BILL. PHILIP
PINE SUGAR MUST BE DISPOSED
or FIRST
FINAL DRAFT NOT COMPLETED
Chairman Hamilton is Working to &c
the Bill in Shape

Washington, Jan. 4.-7'he bill
reducing the duty on Philippine
products was the regular order Of
BUSINESS in the house of representa-
tive today instead Of the statehood
bill, as had been previously arrang-
ed. This change was necessary
because the statehood bill is not
ready to report, while the Philip
pines bill was reported before the
holiday recess and is now on the
calendar. Moreover Chairman
Payne Of the ways and means com
mittee announces that he would
call up the bill when the house met
after the holiday recess and there
will be no reason for insufficient no
tice. Chairman Hamilton of the
committee on territories has been
at the capital since Monday and
has endeavored to get his committee
together but it does rot seem like
ly that meeting can be held this
week. The statehood bill is in the
hands Of a subcommittee and some
members of the sub committee and
will not arrive until Monday. 1t
is necessary for the subcommittee
to report to the full committee be-
fore the bill can be reported to the
house. Although the statehood
bill is almost complete there are
some details yet to arrange such as
division lines foi judicial districts in
the new state. Nor has the fnal
draft of the prohibition amendment
yet been made 1t is the intention
of Mr.. Hamilton to reiutrocuce tht
bill after it has been perfected SC
that the amendm ente will not be
necessary on the flor of the house,
as son as the PHILIPPINE bill is out
the way, although there will be no
amount of opposition to the bill.
No time has been set for the limit
of debate on the Philippine bill.
The measure coming from the ways
and means committee is privileged
and can be taken up without a
special rule. tits expected that an
agreement to vote may be reached
after a reasonable time. Chairman
Payne will open on the bill to-
morrow according 70 the present
arrangements and sumo members
Of the minority are expected to
follow.

HOW CHINESE DODGE UNDER
Inspector Mansfield Tells of Their
Efforts to Get into United
states.

Chinese Immigrant Inspector Mansfield
was doing duty in the immigration inspec-
ton service along the Mexican border In
Arizona before being assigned to Omaha
and he tells some interesting stories of the
schemes adopted by the Chinese and others
10 get across the line into the United
States.
Bret Harte was not very far of when he
said That for ways that are dark. etc.
the heather Chinee is very peculiar They
resort to every possible and ingenious ex-
pedient to cross the line into the United
States. not only as smugglers, but to get
into the country to stay. Schools are
operated in some parts of Mexico where
the Chinese are taught just enough Eng
ish words to answer the necessary ques-
lions to get across the line. And It is not
often they are caught wrong In their
answers OF course we could catch them
on any defect in their papers, but some
times they would put up an extremely
plausible story about their papers being on
this side and that they were not imme-
diately at hand. They would refer to some
we'll known and reputable Chinese on this
side of the line as vouchers for them. and
how they had Just gone across the line
temporarily, intending to come right back.
Then they would tell pitiful story about
their trying to make their way to San
Francisco to return to China.
81 would not want to impeach the varac-
!ty of the average Chinaman, but as a
rule they can put up just about as smooth
story as a man cares to listen to, suffl-
cient to deceive the very elect. Then with
their peculiar clothes and thick-soled shoes
they are enabled to do all sorts OF snug

And they, better than others, would know
how to draft such a bill
General Henderson didn't seem to take
kindly to my proposition But, in view Of
subsequent developments. I am satisfied
that my advice was timely and good.

this modification. that the passenger rate
