Carnegie, Central Figure, Leaves for Washington and New York

St. Louis, May 3.-News that the United States had formally recognized the republic of China caused an out burst of enthusiasm Ut the peace COZ gress. The fact was announced by James Brown Scott, who was presid- ing at the session. Andrew Carnegie, who was on the platform, sprang to his feet and waved his Handkerchief. This was a signal for others to show their approval, and the house soon was the scene of a wild demonstra- tion of approval. Later the congress decided to cable congratulations to China at the suggestion of Mrs. Car negie.

AMENDMENT OFFERED IN CALI. FORNIA HOUSE IS NOT oP-
 POSED BY GOV. JOHNSON.
BRYAN DECIDES TO STAY
senate Prepares to Pass Webb Meas ure, Although Wire From Pres- dent Says It Means Fight
 in Court.

Sacramento, Cal, May 3.-Another 0nti-alien bill, copied directly from the Webb act, now before the Senate, but with a clause added permitting aliens ineligible to citizenship to lease farming lands for period of not ex- ceeding three years, has been intro duced in the assembly.
 It's author, Assemblyman Bloodgood (Progressive), said he had obtained a statement from Gov. Johnson that he had no objection to the new plan.
 The chief purposes served by intro ducing the bill, said Bloodgood, was to get the Webb act before the assembly so that no time would be lost when the senate bill is passed and sent across to the lower house, which will then have both the original Webb draft and the new draft, with the exemp- tion pertaining to leases from which to choose.
 Gov Johnson said: T told MT. Blood good l had no objections to any amendment that softens the bill, so long as it does not affect the big thing involved, namely, the prevention of ownership by those who are ineligible to citizenship"
 Bryan to Stay Several Days.
 Secretary of State Bryan gate no- tive to the governor that he expected to remain in the California capital for several days.
 Senator Curtin, Democrat, intro duced a resolution setting forth the fact that President Wilson is opposed to an alien land bill and including the following declaration:
 Be it resolved, that the people of the state of California do hereby defer to the wishes of the president of the United States and this legislature will not at this session pass the bills here in mentioned"
 Wilson's Message Had No Effect.
 No apprehension was aroused by the warning against the Webb bill telegraphed to Gov. Johnson by Presi- dent Wilson 1t is the belief both of Gov. Johnson and Attorney-General Webb that regardless of how the act was worded it probably would in- volve an appeal to the courts, as sug- gested by President Wilson.

Moros who have always had a supreme
contempt and hatred FOR their northern
brown brothers. began TO show evidence
of increased restlessness.
General Bandholtz. In his Office in Ma

large shipments Of arms were being
struggled into the southern Islands, and
an interview appeared In one of the daily
papers over the name OF j. ]. Edwards
formerly "A telegraph operator IN North

North Borneo Trading Company. which
seemed 10 corroborate at least some OF
the rumors Edwards claimed 10 have
had conversations before leaving the
place of his employment with outlaws
who gave him personal assurances OF the
traffic. According To this Information
arms were being sent in by Chinese trad
ers from Hong Kong and Singapore
and after reaching Borneo the consign-
ments were transshipped by the Moros
awaiting them there
However this may all have been, the
fact remains that McNalley IN advancing
upon a band of heavily armed Moros was
shot 10 death. and that besides some
other officers. nearly score of men In
the service Of the United States were
slaughtered.
