IFrom The Tribune Bureau. J

Washington, Feb 12.-The Secretary Of State
has devised scheme for accomplishing the ex
clusion of Japanese coolies by legislation. and
to that end has suggested to the conferrees on
the Immigration bill the advisability of post
poning report that measure. even should
an agreement be reached. until he has had an
opportunity to submit to them the alteration in
the present law which he believes should be en-
bodied in the bill.

AS Secretary Root learned that his
scheme was practicable he visited the Capitol.

conferred with Senator Lodge. Speaker Cannon
and Representative Bennett, OF New York.
Messrs. Lodge and Bennett are conferrees on

until il had been finally determined whether it
would be wise to embody I'm the law the pro-
vision described and it had been actually incor-

Speaker Cannon told Secretary Root that he
believed the House would gladly accept the inn
migration bill amended the Secretary pro-
posed and with the educational clause stricken

Senate will do the same.
It IS believed that some additional legislation

The President expects to hold another confer

The story goes that Mr.. Deming and three
friends went to Moosehead Lake, Maine, in the
latter part OF November and killed four deer.
They paid for their game license. which allowed
them TO take the game out of the state and on
arrival in New York the game was carried

they had a perfect right to bring 1t into New

this city after December y that one shall
have deer in his possession after that date. Ac-
cordingly summons served recently on

only the courage of the employees of the Bel
mont tunnel under Superintendent Herrick at
fire on Man-oWar Reef yesterday saved scores
Of the tunnel workers from death. Hundreds
of pounds Of dynamite were stored on the reef
out IN the East River, and with the flames lick
ing at them. the men carried the explosive
through the fire to the waters edge.
News Of the danger penetrated the deep shafts
and hundreds of laborers became frenzied as
the smoke edded down the shaft. Four men
sufrocated in a similar fire on the reef
several months ago. Through the quick orders
of Superintendent Herrick, word was sent to
the Manhattan side and the locks were swung
open. allowing the men 10 get to the shaft in
East 42d street, near Third avenue

the shaft. The smoke thick at the bottom
and the hundreds of laborers were the verge
of panic. He called their foremen around
him. and then had them drive the men toward

that the locks be opened.
