The House to day began consideration of the Chinese Exclusion bill, made necessary by the approaching expiration of the Geary law on this snbject, which terminates n the fifth of May. The bill reported by the Committee on Foreign Affairs Is much more drastic and comprehensive la its ternw than the existing law, but in that shape does not meet the ap proval of the representatives Of the Pa cific coast, who want the bill they sjrreed upon earlier in the session and known as the Kahn bill, as it was orig inally drawn.. In that shape it Ms pro-l-osed a a nbtittite for the committee measure by the minority under the lead f Mr. Clark of Missouri. General debate is expected to close to morrow and a.rote on the passage of1 the bill be taken Monday. The small deficiency bill, reported yes terday, was passed. At the opening of the sedon the speaker laid before the House an invi tation from the Army f the Cumber land for the participation by a commit tee of the House in the services at Ar lington Cemetery upon the occasion of the reinterment of the remains of the late Major General William S.

In this connection Mr. Clark aid he wanted placed on his -tombstone the statement that he was one of the 35 of the 357 members of the Hotite whe ad the nerve, good sense, and patriotism to vote against paying twenty millions for the Philippines. The problem involved in the pendiug bill, he said, was a ra cia! question "shall tb- white iQSn con tinue in control bf th conization of the western hemisphere, or be threaten ed with gradual extinction by the yel low race." Mr. Adams of Pennsylvania followed, advocating the adoption of the majority bill. Mr. Kahn of California" briefly re viewed the history of Chinese exclusion leeislation. setting forth the causes which induced the representatives from the Pacific coast to prepare the bill which had been considered by the Com mittee on Foreign Affalns. It was the duplicity and deceit of the Chinese themselves, he said, which made it nec essary to propose these severely restrict ive measures to carry out the desire of nearly every citizen of the United State to exclude Chinese coolies or laborers from the United States. All existing and previous laws on the subject, he said, had proved ineffectual and imprac ticable, owing to the activity and men dacity of the Chinese and the decisions of the courts. To merely pass a bill extending the Geary law would be to do practically nothing for the relief of the Pacific coast. At the conclusion of Mr. Kahn's re marks the committee rose, and at 5:15 the House adjourned until tomorrow. SHOT FOR MURDER Lord Kitchener Reports the Case of Two Austral ian Officers London.
