SPEECHES ' ' IN THE HOUSE MOST OF THESE OPPOSED THE MEASURE PAYJfE ENDEAVORS TO SECURE AGREEMENT TO CLOSE DEBATE, WITHOUT SUC CESS. Washington, April 15. When the sen-J ate met today, Mr. Hansbrougrh, from the committee on public lands, reported the house bill Jegalizing the manual of surveying instructions of the general land office and the, bill was passed. The senate then resumed considera tion of the Chineseexclusion bill and Mr. Gallinger read a number of tele grams referring to the 'bill. One of these telegrams was from a number of attorneys of San Fljancisoo denouncing as "false and malicious" an allegation made by Chinese Inspector Dunn ibefore the senate committee on immigration to the effect that many attorneys use un fair means in protcting the interests of their clients. There also was a mass of other telegrams from the cities of the Pacific coast, urging the passage of the Piatt substitute re-enacting the Geary law. Mr. Perkins, of California, submitted a large number of dispatches supporting the bill. .The bill then was laid aside and the senate passed the additional urgent deficiency appropriation bill, with a minor amendment. Consideration of the Chinese exclusion bill was resumed and Mr. Heitfeld, of Idaho, spoke in sup port of the senate measure. ! Mr. Pritchard, of North Carolina, 'followed in a speech opposing the bill, J mainly on account of -the Injury it I would cause,.tbe south: in-reducinff the Gal'Mnger also opposed the measure, while Mallory, Penrose' and Turner fa vored it. -Near the close of the debate Turner criticised the attitude of the republicans toward the bill question and their fidelity to the principle of Chinese exclusion. He predicted that the bill would be defeated by their votes. Spooner hotly resented this. He said the republican party had no need to I defend itself on the score of protecting labor. He declared the republicans were as strongly in favor of . excluding Chinese labor as Turner, was. If the United States were threatened with a influx of Chinese labor he would vote for the bill and make -it even more drastic than it was, but he felt it his I duty as the matter now stood to vote to continue the present law two years. The bill went over and the senate ad journed. iThe senate committee on privilges and elections today, by a majority of one, voted to amend the house resolu tion providing for the election of sena tors by direct vote of the people, by adding the amendment offered iby Sen ator Depew. The amendment is as fol lows: i y -tj "The qualifications of citizens enti tled to vote for United States senators and representatives in congress shall ibe uniform in all the states and congress shall have power to enforce this article by appropriate legislation and to pro vide for the registration of citizens en titled to vote; the conduct of such elec tions and the certificate of the result." The committee voted down the Pen rose amendment providing that sena tors shall be apportioned according to the population of the , several states. The vote on the Penrose amendment was unanimous1. Senator Burrows voted with the dem ocrats in opposition to the Depew prop osition. Otherwise the vote was strict ly on partisan lines. The division was as follows: Ayes Hoar, Pritchard, McComas, Poraker, Depew, Beveridge and Dil lingham 7 ; noes Burrows, Pettus, NEW LINE SCREENS.

The senator held to be sentiments as expressed in hid inter view several days ago. It seems now that the bill will be modified or defeat ed. In the House Washington, April 15. 'When the house met today, Mr. Manor (Pa.) cnairman of the committee on war claims, asked unanimous consent to non-concur in the senate amendments to the omnibus claims toill and to send the bill to conference. Mr. Maddox, of Georgia, objected. Before the debate upon the Cuban reciprocity foil! was resumed, Mr. Payne, the floor leader of the majority, attempted to reach an agreement to close general debate on Thursday. His overtures were rejected. Mr. Payne gave notice that at the first opportunity he would move to lim it the debate. At the close of the day's session there was no indication as to when the de bate will close. A number of members delivered speeches, a vast majority of whom opposed the' measure. Just be fore the house adjourned the military academy appropriation bill was report ed. It appropriates $3,627,342, and raises the pay of cadets from $540 to $600 a year. ' Mr. Swanson, of Virginia, a member of the ways and means committee, the first speaker today, favored the bill He argued that the bill was in line with the democratic policy of tariff reform That statement made him a target for the question of some of his democratic colleagues who .differed from him and he had sharp clashes with Mr. Bartlett, of Georgia; Mr. Wheeler of Kentucky, and Mr. Cooper of Texas. A letter from Attorney- General Knox relative to the so-called beef trust was made public today by Representative Ray, of New York, chairman of the house committee on judiciary. In view of the attorney general's letter the ju diciary committee decided without di vision to recommend the report of Rep resentative Thayer of Massachusetts, asking the attorney general what steps he had taken against the beef trust. The attorney general's letter is given in Chairman Ray's report on the reso lution. The reports Quotes Representa tive Ray's letter, dated April 12, to the attorney-general.

Has your attention been called to the matter alleged in house resolution 202, a copy of which is annexed? "2. Have you been requested to take any official action in the matter? "3. Have you any evidence of the ex istence of such a combination? The attorney general in a letter of the same date, answers the Questions as follows: "1. It has not, except so far as it is a matter of general notoriety. "2. I have not. "3. None that could be classed as le gal evidence." Continuing the letter says: "It is proper, I think, however, to add that owing to the positive, often repeated and circumstantial nature of the allegations that the law is being flagrantly violated, I directed some tim ago a thorough investigation to be made by one of the district attor neys of the United States for the pur pose of ascertaining whether in fact such combination existed and whether if so, its operations were in violation of any federal statute." Continuing the report says: "It is apparent from this correspond ence that there is no necessity for the adoption of the resolution. The at torney general of the United States has already ordered a thorough investiga tion and will perform his duty and prosecute all offenders of offenders there be. "It is also evident that this officer cannot state whether or not there has been an infringement of the law as no evidence has been presented to him upon which- to base an opinion. "It is also evident that no legal steps can be taken toward a prosecution of the parties violating the law until a thorough investigation has 'been made. In short, the letter of the attorney gen eral above Quoted answers the resolu tion as fully as it can be or to be at this time." M'GOVERN CORBETT FIGHT GOES TO CONNECTICUT Cincinnati, April 15.
