MAKES AN EAR NEST SPEECH, SAYING OBJEC TION, BEET SUGAR MEN HAS NO FOUNDATION. , Washington, April 14. The Chinese exclusion ibill again absorbed he atten tion of the senate today. McLaurin (S. C.) and Foraker tooth delivered lengthyNspeeches against the measure. Foraker was especially vigorous in at t tacking the bill. He occupied over two hours. In his remarks he 'made some telling points against the measure. His objection to the bill was based mainly on the act that the bill ex cluded all Chinese. He favored the ex j elusion of laborers, but was unalter ately opposed to the exclusion of the , higher classes of Chinese. Mr: McLaurin said it was unprece dented that any honorable nation, least !of all the United States, should surren- ' der its integrity by deliberately adopt , ing policies and enacting laws in viola tion of its own sworn compact, and I treaty with any other power and that . too, during a period of profound peace, without any provocation or cause from the other nation. The pending senate fbillj he declared, was calculated by its I restrictive action and in that cabal ; spirit to kill tour trade with China. This irwas a considerable blow to South Caro lina, with its vast cotton production land the growing shipments of cotton goods to China. "is it fair to the people of the south," masked Senator McLaurin, "just as they are beginning . to : prosper, in manufac tories' and; after the long years- of trouble and privation, to t6ar dqwn and crush their new enterprises, on the as sumption that a ruinous policy is nec essary in order to keep but the Chinese when, in point of fact, it is not at all necessary, and the Chinese are being kept out by the existing law?" In the House. Washington, April 14. The second week of the debate upon the Cuban reciprocity bill began in the house to day. Under the rule this was District of Columbia day, but the regular order was postponed until next IMonday. j These .bills were passed: ! To grant to the Mobile, Jackson & Kansas City railroad the right to use ! a tract of land at Choctaw Point, near Mobile, Ala., for railroad purposes. To authorize the supervisors of Santa Cruz company to issue bonds in the sum of $35,000 for the erection of court house and jail. Make the act of February 28, 1891, ratifying the selection of indemnity school lands applicable to Utah. Mr. Loud (Cal.) then called up the conference report on the postoffice ap propriation bill. He was questioned closely about the item providing for the pneumatic tube service. The resolution was adopted without discussion. The house then went into committee of the whole and resumed the debate upon the Cuban reciprocity bill. Mr. McCalKMass.) a member of the ways and means committee, made an J earnest speech in favor of the passage of the bill. He first discussed the fea-i tures of the bill, and said that it fixed the basis for a trade between two peo ples amounting to $75,000,000 annually, and which, under the provision of the bill, would soon be augmented three fold. The objection that the bill would injure the beet sugar industry In this country, he said, rested upon no sound NEW LUND SCREENS.

Colenbran dor's late dispatch, April 12, gava the Boer losses in killed, wounded and prisoners, at 106 men. The colOne hoped to be able to report further cap tures. The most severe fighting occurred April 11, in western -Transvaal where Gen. Ian Hamilton has replaced Gen Methuen in command of the British troops. The Boers attacked Col.

A force of Boers recently overwhelm ed a strong British patrol sent out from Bultfontein, Orange River colony, to clear distant farms. An officer and two men were killed, 14 men wounded and the remaining members of the pa trol were surrounded and captured. Lord Kitchener mentions holding an inquiry into these reverses. Hopes for Peace Put Aside. London, April 14. A statement show ing revenues and expenditures was presented in the house of commons to day, Chancellor of the Exchequer Mich ael Hicks-Beach showed a total of or dinary expenditure for 1902-3, estimated at" 129,159,000 pounds with war charges amounting to 45,450,444 pounds, making a grand total of 174,609,000 pounds, which is 12,993,000 pounds below the to tal for last year. The chancellor estimated that the to tal deficit for the present year is 26, &24,000 pounds. To the deficit must be added sixteen or seventeen millions ad ditional war expenditures. The chan cellor of exchequer said he had hopes of a happy result from the conference in South Africa, 'but had put them aside. The .preparations for a contin uance of the war were the best guaran tee of peace. The income tax is increased a penny per pound, sterling. There is no increase in the duty on sugar. The sinking fund is to be expended. The grand total of the deficit is 45, 000,000 pounds. The duties on wine, beer, tobacco and tea are not changed. , A penny to the pound is imposed on dividend warrants and two penny,. stamps must be placed onchecks in stead of one penny as heretofore.

The speech of Senator McLaurin of South Carolina today on the Chinese exclusion bill -was along the same lines laid down by Sen ator Pritchard in his interview on that measure, us published In the Gazette on Snudav. Mr. McLaurin spoke stmelv in favor of excluding Coolie labor, "but said the existing law is en tirely effective in accomplishing this. The outlook is favorable for J. W Mullen's confirmation.Senator Simmons' objection has dwindled to an al leged misstatement by Mr. Mul len in aft affidavit which he filed in support of himself.

BRUTAL MURDER OF - TV0 YCUH6 SKIlDBill A GIRL AGED 15, AND HER BROTH ER, II, SLAIN BY SOME UN- - KNOWN PERSON. Des Moines, Ial, April 14. While re turning from Highland Park Methodist church, on the northern , outskirts in the city last evening( May Peterson, fifteen years of age, and William, aged eleven, children of Peter Peterson, a well-to-do dairyman, were murdered by some unknown person, believed to be a, negro. The boy, when found at mid night, was alive, but died within fif teen minutes without being able to give a description of his . assailant. When assaulted the children were returning from the Highland Park church, where they had attended the evening service. The bodies were discovered (by the road side by a farmer, wbo heard the moans, of the lad. Their heads had been cruch-. ed in presumably by a brick. The en tire police force is working on the- case-. The police are without a clew. The body of the girl was found at the bot tom of a telegraph pole hid two feet deep. She had ravished by her assailant. At the base of the head she had been hit with some hard'4 instru rrtent, resulting. in fracturing the skull. On the crown of the head, there were four or five indentations, all of which would have proven serious, if not fatal. Not a- brick or an " instrument can be found ;within the region Avbere the mur der occurred. The boy, who was found in the ditch on the opposite side of the road, was most cruelly treated. Fully half a dozen Indentations were made in the skull and his face showed evidence of being, pounded. The Peterson fami ly consists of seven children, four girls and three boys. Two of the girls now living declare that a week ago. they were chased at the same spot by a man on their return during the evening from Highland Park. They are unable to give a description of the man. Not far from the scene of the murder are th Marquisville coal mines, in -which 200 colored coal miners are employed. It is the impression of the police that the murderer was a resident of Marquis ville. The tracks of two. men have been found leading from the sceneand were followed by the police, but they soon led into a path, -where all trace was lost.

OBJECTS TO EMBASSY TO KING'S CORONATION GENERAL WHEELER ALSO PROM INENT AMONG THE SPEAKERS vr irx& ji,v HilMlNG HONOR DE FENDING THE COUNTRY. New York, April 14. -avid B Hill was the principal speaker tonight at th Jefferson day celebration of the Dem ocratic club. He was gjven a hearty, welcome, but General Wheeler, who was also present, received no less hearty greeting. Lewis 'Nixon, presided and in presenting Hill Nixon said he was man whose proudest title is, "I am a v democrat." Hill was frequently ap plauded throughout his address. Hill's speech was lengthy. Much of it was de voted to a eulogy of Jefferson and laud ation of his theory of government. He briefly reviewed the principles favored by Jefferson and said it was difficult to predict how Jefferson would have met the problems of today. He expressed belief, however, that Jefferson would curb monopolies and trusts and place a limit on dividends that could legally be declared and the amount of wealth that could lawfully be accumulated. He contrasted Jefferson's ideas of expansion with the present experiment in the Philippines and declared that Jeffer son's policy of expansion could no more be compared to that than ' ; light could to darkness. "It is safe to believe," he asserted, "that Jefferson would never have fa vored the expansion of American jur isdiction that did not carry with it the ' provisions of the constitution. Jeffer son's theory was unquestionably the democratic doctrine of today that this government has no more authority to create a permanent colonial system' than it has the right to create a King." Referring to the election of United States Senators he declared that Jef ferson favored electing by popular vote. The speaker deplored divisions over questionable utterances in modern par ty platforms, and said it would be wis dom on the part of the democracy to push to the front issues upon which they were united and ignore those o (Continued on eighth page.)
