The passing of the Louisville & Nashville system into the j hands of the Southern railway will leave .but two lines of railroad south of the Ohio river, the Southern and the Sea board Ail Line.

Teller and Mitchell Score Minis ter Wu Because of His Words on Chinese Exclusion. OPPOSITION TO PENSION FOR MRS. M'KINLEY GEN. MAC ARTHUR TESTIFIES AS TO THE OPENING OP HOSTILI TIES AT MANILA AND AGUIN ALDO'S CONNECTION THERE WITH. Washington, April 12 The discussion of the Chinese exclusion bill occupied the entire session of the senate today "Vest, Lodge and Teller 'were the prin cipal speakers. Vest declared, that while he opposed Chinese immigration there were certain features of the bill which he could not support. In the course of his remarks he eulogized Lin coln, Grant and McKinley and said he would never cease to speak kindly of Roosevelt for the statement in his life of Thomas H. Benton, that Robert E. Lee was the greatest general that ever came from the English speaking race, surpassing Wellington, Marlbor ough and Grant. He closed with an eloquent and pathetic tribute to the late Wade Hampton. Lodge's speech was a learned and forcible argument in favor of the Chinese exclusion bill. Teller supported the bill and toward the close of the debate Teller and Mitchell referred to recent remonstran ces by the Chinese minister against the bill. Both declared if any other for eign minister had so offended his pass port would be handed him. Washington, April 12. Private pen sion day bill in the house was enliven ed today by a discussion on the pro priety of giving an annual pension of $5000 to the widow of the late President McKinley . "ellDemu Colo . attacked It. as ' 'absolutely . wrong" ariCihdef enslf Me. several, memDers'repiiea, includ ing Grosvenor and Kluttz (N. C.) All declared the bill should pass.

Washington, April 12.-The senate committee on the Philippines began its proceedings today by adopting a reso lution offered by Senator Carmack call ing upon the secretary of war' for all the orders, circulars and official reports received from commanders and their subordinates in the provinces of Taya bas, Batangas, Samar and Laguna. Gen. MacArthur was again today the only witness before the committee. He related that on the evening previous to the attack upon Manila, after General Merritt had issued his order of battle, he (MacArthur) was in consultation with General Anderson when the latter received a qommunication from General Merritt directing the latter to inform CHINESE EXCLUSION tition with the laborers of this country, provided its provisions will not inter fere with our commerce in China. Such being the case, I will vote to extend the provision of the- Geary act, believing as I do that the extension of this measure will be adequate, and at the same tim by its adoption we will incur no risk of interruption of our present relations with the people of the Chinese empire. "I cannot support the bill which has been reported by the committee. I fear that its adoption would prove disas trous to the interests of the cotton manufacturers of the south, and would result in curtailing the amount of goods manufactured and lessen the demand for labor which would necessarily re sult In a reduction of the wages of the operatives employed in the cotton mills throughout the southern states."
