CHINESE EXCLUSION The House Passes the Bill Lookinj to That End Without Much Debate. IT IS A DRASTIC MEASURE Even Chinese of Mixed Blood Are Excluded Entrance to America, and Chinese Sailors Cannot Take Service on American Vessels. Washington, April 8. —The house yesterday passed the Chinese exclusion bill after incorporating in it several amendments which increased the drastic character of the measure. The principal one not only excludes Chi- | nese by birth and descent, but all Chinese of mixed blood. The chief struggle wait over an amendment to | prohibit the employment of Chinese sailors on American ships. An amendment covering this proposition was at first ruled out on a point of order, but subsequently was modified to evade the ruling and was adopted, 100 to 74. As passed the bill practically reenacts all the existing exclusion laws and incorporates with them the existing treaty regulations. It extends these exclusion laws to the Philippines and the other possessions of the United States, and forbids Chinese laborers in our colonial possessions coming into this country. The Philippine commission, by the terms of the bill, is directed to adopt proper meas ures for the enforcement of the provisions of the bill in the Philippines. The conference report on the war rev enue tax repeal bill was adopted and the bill sent to the White House. Late in the afternoon Mr. Fowler of New Jersey moved to pass under suspension of the rules the senate bill to extend the charters of national bankS for 20 years. The Democrats were taken completely by surprise. As it was after the usual hour for adjournment the attendance was slim. The Democrats attempted to filibuster, but a call of the house finally secured a quorum and the bill was passed. BAIL Kill KATHBONE I Senator Hanna Undertakes to Stand ~ For His Friend. Washington.
