Morgan Opposes Rate Bill.

Washington.-Mr. Morgan, in ad-
dressing the senate on the railroad
rate bill on Monday, said that he was
opposed to the bill under considera-
ton, known as the Hepburn-Dolliver
bill, because it created a national COM
mission that would ultimately under
take the control of the railroads. He
said that the bill repealed a law that
was sacred to the English-speaking
people, the right of jury trial, and
vested in commission to right to
determine the reasonableness of
rate. He said that the bill took away
from the states the right to determine
what was reasonable rate and vested
the power of determination in a ma
tional commission.

How Cinnamon Get to United States

Washington.-Com Gen.
eral Sargent of the immigration serv-
ice was heard on Monday by the house
committee on foreign affairs relative
to the proposed amendments to the
Chinese exclusion act. The commits
sioner reviewed at length the difficult
ties in the way OF enforcing the pres
ent law. The greatest cause of com
plant arose, in his opinion, from the
fact that what are known as Section
Certificates" which are in reality
passports of Cinnamon privileged to
land in this country, were made out in
blank by United States consular Of
iicers In China and were bartered in
for a consideration.

The former spent over two hours with
the emperor Tuesday night, reviewing
the situation and pointing out how i'm

parliament, with NJ Durnovo in the
cabinet. The emperor. as usual in

lived; and Tore Annunziata, on the
shores of the Gulf of Naples, one mile
to the southwark, is almost surround
ed by the invading lava and has been
evacuated by its 10000 inhabitants.
The people were brought to Naples
by trains, street cars, military carts
and steamships. Similar means OF
transportation are being employed to
bring away the people from Tore del
Greco. The police and carbineers
are guarding the abandoned houses
and several members of the govern

A telegram received from the
mayor of San Sebastiano, a village
near the observatory on the north
west declivity of Vesuvius, says that
lava is approaching rapidly and that
the people are terTor-stricken. They
have been for nights without sleep,
he says, are destitute and beg assist

Standing Firm.

Philadelphia.-The end of the first
week of idleness in the anthracite coal
region, following President Mitchelrs
order suspending mining operations
pending the results of the negotiations
of the operators and the miners repre-
sentatives in New York, finds the mine
workers stanch in the support of
Mitchell, with no sign of wavering. IL
cannot be said that the optimistic
views held by the mine workers dur
ing the early part of the suspension
are so generally entertained. but there
appears to be no lack of confidence in
President Mitchelrs judgment This
was evidenced at the meetings of the
miners locals which were held
throughout the region during the lat
ter part of the week In every in
stance II is reported that resolutions
were adopted expressing confidence In
Mr.. Mitchell and pledging full support
OF any action he might deem neces-
sary.

Citizens and Vessels of All
Countries Soon to Enjoy
Promised Privileges
Japanese Government Has Decided In
Accordance With the Principles
Of Open Door and Equal Op-
portunities for All After
the First OF June.

Washington The following state
ment has been given out at the Jap.
anese legation:
Owing to the fact that the with
drawal OF the troops from Manchuria
not having sufficiently progressed, the
Japanese government hitherto has
neither permitted citizens and vessels
of foreign countries to enter the ports
and regions OF Manchuria, nor allowed
foreign consuls to proceed to their
posts therein Considerable progress,
however, having now been made in
this respect, the Japanese government
has decided in accordance with the
principles OF open door and equal OPP
portunity ever advocated by them, to
permit citizens and vessels of foreign
countries to enter, from May 1. An
Tung Hsien and Ia Tung Kao, and
allow foreign consuls to proceed to
their posts at An Tung Hsien.
From June /. foreign consuls shall
be allowed to proceed to their posts at
Muknen ana travelling Oh lcrelSnerS III
the interior of Manchuria will be per
mitted so far as military exigencies
do not prevent 1t. 1t has further been
decided that the Japanese government
will open Dairen TIA Lien Wan) to
commerce of the world in as near fu-
ture as possible.
Judging from the present condition
of the interior Of Manchuria, 1t is i'm
possible for the authorities to afford
such foreign travellers adequate pro-
lection and facilities in housing and
other matters. Those, therefore, who
enter the interior of Manchuria do so
entirely at their own risk, and the |
Japanese government do not hold
themselves responsible for any injury |
Or damage which they may suffer from
bandits or other mauraders."
