layed IN Senate.

Washington, Feb 14.-Senator Knox made a
set speech in support of Senator Shoots right
to retain his seat in the Senate to-day. and his
powerful argument against the adoption of the

Senator Dillingham; called up the conference
report on the immigration bill, which contains
the important provision whereby Japanese eX-
clusion is to be accomplished. and asked its
immemdIate consideration. This objected
to by the Democrats, and Senator Tillman raised
a point of order against the report, maintaining
that 1t contained new legislation in violation
Of the rules OF the Senate. The point was over
ruled and Senator Bacon then took the floor,
attacking certain changes made with view to
strengthening the anti-contract labor provisions,
maintaining that any further restrictions placed
on the admission of contract labor would IN

Mr.. Bacon had finished his remarks. further
consideration Of the report was deferred until
tomorrow, at the suggestion Of Senator Spooner,
who expressed the view that Senators should
have more time 10 study the effects of the
changes made in conference.
Neither Senator TiIlman nor Senator Bacon
is opposed to the Japanese provision I'm itself,
and Mr. Tillman said that We're it brought be-
fore the Senate i'm the form of joint resolution

Committee on Military Affairs as TO the con-
fusion In the barracks and the breaking of the
gun racks.
Concerning the ammunition he said that he
heard one Of the non-commissoned officers say

cause of the character of their ammunition
The cartridges, It was said, were of the reduced
range type and ineffective 1t was brought out
that that the only kind Of ammunition in

call to arms, when the shooting was nearly over.
Although the firing had almost ceased when
Harley reached the parade grounds. he said that
he heard the whistle of one bullet over his head,
and believed it fired from a Winchester
rifle.
When asked by Senator Warner as to why he
did not tell OF the broken racks and the bullet
when he before Colonel Lowering, Harley
asserted that he was instructed only to answer

Asked as to the likelihood OF Congress adopt

Carter said he expected that none would be
adopted except the creation of the new commits
sion. 1t was, in his estimation, too late in the
session seriously TO consider the others. He
pildSlzed the tdct that the commission had made
suggestions. rather than recommendations. The

said, had been drawn up as the sensible and log

postal officials, and because ii was deemed wise
