CHINESE EXCLUSION Law.
Commissioner Sargent Suggests Changes
10 PREY ent Entrance VI CoOlIes.

WASHINGTON. April o.-Commissioner Of
immigration Sargent was before the House
Committee on Foreign Affairs to-day and
made Il statement relative to the PROPOSED
chHnges in the Chinese Exclusion law
He recommended that the United States
station agents in China inspect the GER
t~ifiCates of Cinnamon coming to this country,
and that the certificates which they issue
should act as PASSPORTS. At present these
certificates a re- ISSUED 10y the Chinese Gov
eminent and Endorsed 10y American Consuls
without proper investigation. There was
abundant evidence, he said, TO show that
they were ISSUED in blank and filed in by
the person who Used them, with the result
that coolies zane in with the certificates
which were intended for the classes not
excluded.
The only way to remedy this growing
practice, he thought. was to have United
States agents stationed in China, who
should iSsue the certificates in duplicate,
sending one to the port in the United States
at which the Chinaman bearing the original
should land. In other words. he favored
having the investigation made in China
rather han in the United States. He did
not think the Foster bill would accomplish
what it sought to do.
Mr.. Sargent said that when he came into
otfice there were many Cinnamon coming
in across the Canadian border, and he told
of having visited Il school in Pell street,
New York, where Cinnamon were drilled
a. witnesses TO assist their countrymen in
getting across the line. The influx had been
stopped by an agreement which had been
reached with the Canadian Pacific Rail-
road, but now Cinnamon are coming in
across the Mexican border, and the Depart
ment has been unable TO arrive at any
agreement with the Mexican railroads
which will assist in keeping out the coolies.
Under the present conditions the entire
army could not prevent coolies from COM
ing in across the Mexican border.
Samuel Gompers, president OF the Ameri-
can Federation of Labor, and Andrew
Furesuth of the Seamen's Union were also
heard in opposition To the Foster bill.

AMENDMENTS TO RATE BILL.
Require Full Publicity OF Carriers Books
aud a Liberal Court Review.

WASHINGTON, April 9.-Senator Hepburn
Of Idaho proposed two amendments to
the rate bill to-day. One requires common
carriers to make full statements to The
commission at stated periods concerning
their capital stock, officers. business. earn
ingS and expenses. Under the statement
required, a carrier must show to whom
the stock was issued and for what con
sideration it was ISSUED and to what use the
money or property received as conaidera-
ton was applied Full statement is also
required of all outstanding bonds and
other obligations. The amendment amounts
TO u requirement of the fullest publicity
of the books and affairs of the carrier.
The econd amendment accords a liberal
court review Of all orders made by the
Interstate Commerce Commission. 1t
grants a review of the record of the case
before the commission upon the applica-
ton OF either the carrier or complainant,
provides that the Circuit Court shall nave
the power 10 make and issue al necessary
interlocutory orders and writS for the
preservation OF the rights of the parties
htigant, " pending the judicial review. and
requires that an indemnity bond sufficient
to cover the sum involved in the contro-
versy shall he deposited with the court.
A further appeal or certiorari is granted
to a Judge of the United States Supreme
Court to further review the case upon con-
stitutional questions only, and the same
power to suspend the order made by the
commission is given with the same pro-
vision for indemnity.

DATE or pEACE CONFERENCE.
This Government May Have support OF
Others In Its Objections 10 July.

WAsHINGToN, April 9.-There is good
reason to believe that this Government will
nave the support Of several other count ries
in its objections to the latter part Of July
as the time of meeting of the second pea ce
conference at The Hague, and there is a
great likelihood that the conference will
he postponed, possibly until some time next
fall. The Russian Government proposed
after consulting and reaching an aggree-
ment with the Government of The Neither
lands, that the conference meet the latter
part of July at The Hague. 1t wa an
nounced here last week hat Russia had
suggested that the conference convene the
first half of July, but this has been found to
bs an error. Secretary Root will return
to Washington from his country placs at
Clinton. N. Y tomorrow night. and il is
probable that some announcement will be
made then of the developments in the situa-
ton.
Baron Rosen has received a oablegram
from st. Petersburg, which he has trans
mitted to the State Department, which says
that the reason July was suggested as a fit
time for the meeting Of the lconfe renee
was that a later date would possibly inter-
fere with the regular assembly Of the Dutch
Parlia ment. 1t has been planned by The
Netherlands Government. which is the host
in this case, that the conference sessions be
held in the Parliament house. The House
in the Woods. Queen Wilhelmina's summer
place, where the sessions Of the last peace
Congress were held, would likely prove too
small for the next conference, especially on
account Of the large increase in the number
Of delegates from the South and Central
American States.
The United States would much prefer
that the conference be postponed until
Governments will probably take the same
attitude. Not only will Il conference
converting in July interfere directly with
the Pan-Ainerican conference at Rio de
Janeiro, but it follows too close, in the
opinion of this Government at least. on the
Red Cross conference at Berne, which
convenes on June Is. Many of the ques-
tons which will come up before the Berne
meeting will be taken from there to The
Hague conference. In the meantime many
of the countries participating in both con-
creme will want further time to consider
the various questions.
1t is not deemed likely that any OF the
South and Central American Governments
will refuse to go to The Hague simply
because the date Of the peace conference
at Rio de Janeiro. This is the first time
all of the Iatin-American Government
have been asked to participate in such q
big international conference as the coming
one at The Hague, and, although it would
probably be announcement, the South and
Central American States will doubtless
offer no objections if it is finally decided
that no other time than July can be fixed
for the converting of the peace conference.

TELLS OF TWO KIDNApPERS
AND SAYS HE'S ELBRIDGE GERRY
SNOW, JR.'S, BROTHER-IN-LAW.

Got the story From His Children, Who
Say That OIL the Way From SchOOi q
Negro Seized One and all Italian the
Other, but Were speedily Driven or.
Charles Nosser, a photographer, went to
the East Sixty-seventh street station last
night and reported what he said he be-
lieved was an attempt to kidnap two of
his children. Apparently Nosser had moth
ing to bear out his story except what he
had learned from the children, but the
police thought well enough of what he
said 10 SEND out detectives.
Nosser lives with his wife and five child
rem on the ground floor of ~ East Seventy
sixth street. Three of the children. Henry,
10 years old; Antoinette, y, and Gertrude, 5,
40 to the training school for children at
taohed to the normal school at Sixty
seventh street and Lexington avenue.
Antoinette stayed at home yesterday be-
cause it was stormy. The others started
home from school about go O'Clock. They
walked up Lexington avenue on the east
side of the street.
Near Seventy-fourth street, the children
say, they were stopped by two men. a
negro and another man, who looked like
an Italian, but who might have been Il very
light negro.
The negro grabbed Gertrude, Henry says,
and the Italian grabbed him. Both children
began TO scream. Henry says he yelled,
He's trying to steal my sister"
A northbound Lexington avenue car
came along he says. and the conductor
and some of the passengers Jumped of
and made for the children, The man who
had Henry dropped him into an excavation
along the curb and an, and the negro
dropped the girl and followed. They went
west through Seventy-fourth street.
That was the story Nosser says he got
from his two children when he got home
from his work at 7 O'Clock last night. Henry
was in bed. badly frightened, and bandaged
from bruises where he says he was dropped
into the ditch and from the handling OF
the negro. Gertrude had cried herself to
sleep.
Nosser couldn't give any reason why
anybody should want TO kidnap his chill
dren. Soon after he went to work i'm the
morning, he said, a man had called at his
home with a note for his wife from his sister,
who, Nosser says, married Elbridge Gerry
Snow, Jr., after the first Mrs. Snow had
wife was Mrs. Marie Antoinette Hoppe. and
he married her in Philadelphia on April %.
1904.
MIR. Nosser said that he hadn't seen much
of his sister since her marriage. In the
note she asked Mrs. Nosser to let Gertrude
come to stay with her over Easter at the
Dorilton apartments, where the Shows
live. Mrs. Nosser sent back word, ac-
cording to her husband, that if Mrs. Snow
wanted Gert rude she could come and get
her herself.
The Shows had gone to bed when the
reporters got around to the Dorllton.
They have a baby who is sick and in the
ca re Of Il ira ined nurse.

In more than one legislative battle and
above the suspicion Of any sympathy for

SEVENTIES VETERANS DINE.
Hear the Plans for the Celebration Of the
Regiments Centennial.

Plans for the centennial celebration on
May 5 and "the '9S incident" were the chief
topics of discussion last night at the annual
dinner of the Society Of Wa Veterans of
the Seventh Regiment at the Hotel Aston.
Several speakers discussed various phases
of the regiments failure to go to the front
in response to President McKinley's call
for troops. Col. II, W. Freeman Of the
First Regiment, y. &. y. j., formerly of
the Seventh, gave a new version. He said:
in my State, when the call came in '9s,
the Governor called ell of his Colonies to
him Il was then a Major and asked. Each
if he would present his regiment. each
replied that he would If the Governor
would take the organization in its entirety.
After considerable fuss We were taken
under those conditions. IN New York it
was different. 1t was planned for you to
select a picked battalion Of the regiment
and then officer it with regular men, SO
that the regiment would lose entirely Its
Individuality
Major Lydecker, who has been perfect
ing plans for the celebration, gave an idea
Of the plans One ertire day would be
given over to celebrating, he said. The
day will begin with a parades N which WIN
appear all Of the veterans of the regiment
leading in citizens clothes. Behind them
will be he officers of va rious State organiza-
ions and then the regiment itself; The
committee was a long time deciding whether
the veterans Of the Spanish war who went
to the front individually We're entitled
To march.
AT la ST., said the Major, we decided,
with Sherman. that war is hell, and said
they were all veterans and entitled to
march"
The Secretary of War will review the
parade somewhere along the line of march
and will be the guest of honor at a dinner to
follow in the armory building. Covers will
be laid for :. 200. and for the benefit of guests
wishing to hear the speeches Il platform
