CHINESE IMMIGRATION. Gompera. Ford and Other Heard by the Senate Committee. WASHINGTON. Jan. 21. The Senate committee on Immigration gave a hearing to-day to representatives of various interests upon the question of Chinese immigration. Among those present were D. S. Tompkins, of the . Industrial Commission; Silas IS. Webb, president of the China and Japan Trading Company, New York; the Hon. Charles S. Hamlin. Boston Chamber of Commerce; Samuel Gompers, the Hon. John W. Foster, S. C. Mead, assistant secretary Merchants Association, New York; Throphllus Parsons, of the Arkw right Club, Uoston; I'd ward J. Livernash. San Franclvco; John Ford, of the Asiatic Association: H. R. Fuller, representing the railroad emplo3Ts of the United States, and a number of representatives of Southern industries. Mr. lomper.i, the first speaker, outlined the efforts which the Federation of Labor had mado In connection v.ith the Pacific coast delegation in Congress to perfect a bill which would secure a continuance of the Chinese exclusion act and this has been Accomplished in what is known as the Mitchell bill. Mr. Ford spoke in opposition to the bill and represented statistics of trade between China and the United States. He urged a postponement of any action by Congress looking to Chinese exclusion until the expiration of the present treats' in 190I. "We are all Interested in being on good terms with China." he said, "and hould treat her with some degree of consideration, and some decent regard for international facts." He said that the Cnine.e .student, Chinese traveler and Chinese merchant have been unfairly dealt with. Upon being questioned he admitted that there Is a division of sentiment among the delegation represented by him. some of thein being perfectly ratlstied with the law as it now stands, while others are dissatisfied with interpretation of the law. He said that the hope of Imbibing American Idea? lay in the Chinese student and the law is hurtful particularly to this tlas of Chinese. Mr. Hamlin presented resolutions of the lioston Chamber of Commerce advocating the Proctor bill continuing in force the present Chinese exclusion law until the expiration of the existing treaty with China in li, and urged that no bill be adopted inconsistent with that treaty, because, he raid, "that treaty involves the honor and faitii of the United States government." Speaking for the Pacific Mail Steamship Company. Maxwell Kvarts declared that the Mitchell till would put a tax on American commerce that no subsidy could replace. It would prohibit the employment of Chinese seamen aboard American ships, and this would result in an enormous difference In the matter of wages. He said that our commissioners to negotiate a new Chinese treaty In two years should not be hampered and embarrassed by the passage of any new law. A number of other gentlemen made brief remarks for and against the proposed measures. Ex-Secretary Foster will be heard next Thursday on the international phases of the proposed Chinese exclusion. Chairman Penrose announced after today's hearing that the whole subject would be gone into very carefully by the committee. COL. W. S. MKTCALF HEARD. Affidavit from .Members of III Regiment Declared to lie False. WASHINGTON. Jan. 21. The subcommittee of the Senate committee on pensions, which was appointed last week to Investigate the charges made against Col. YV. S. Metcalf, who has been appointed pension agent at Topeka, Kan., to-day heard Colonel Metcalf in his own behalf, and also received affidavits from soldiers who were members of Metcalfs command at ihe time the occurrences, with the responsibility for which he is charged, took placet The charge is made that at the battle of Caloocan. In the Philippint Islands, Metcalf deliberately killed two Filipino prison ers. He was to-day shown the affidavits maklnr this charge, but denied it emphatically. He said that he had. at the time of that battle,- been a major of the Twentieth Kansas Volunteers; that he remembered the surrender of two Filipino prisoners: that he was engaged in bringing up the regiment, and that he turned them over to some men in his command, with instructions to take them to the rear; that he knew, of his own knowledge, nothing more of the prisoners, but that ho had heard they were killed by the soldiers who had them In charge. Two or three affidavits from members of the Twentieth Kansas Regiment were filed in corroboration of this statement. In one of these affidavits It was stated that the prisoners were killed by the soldiers because, they refused to go to the rear, and were making trouble at a critical time. Records of tiw War Department also were produced to show that after two Investigations of this charge Metcalf had been exonerated. The subcommittee did not pass upon the charges at the meeting to-day. Camming 1pholds .Metcalf. KANSAS CITY, Kan. 21. Lemuel D. Cummings, agolnst whom serious charges were made to-day during the Investigation of Gen. Wilder S. Metcalf before the Senate committee having the matter in charge at Washington, to-night made the following statement: "I am surprised at Frederick Helster's statement, for the best feeling has always existed between us. I do rot want to go Into the detail of thi care, as I shall probably be called to Washington. I am more than willing to testify before the Senate committee, because I can xoctrate both Gen. Wilder S. Metcalf and

myself. I feel that the dispatches Irom Washington reflect greatly on my character, ami I am ready to defend myself. While it Is true there if a slight foundation for the story of the killing of two Filipino insurgents, I can fay that the evidence which 1 at hand will entirely clear the reputation of General Metcalf and myself. My testimony and the testimony of others will prove beneficial to General Metcalf. who seems to be the sole target for those who are clinging abue and scandal at the Twentieth Kansas. General Metcalf was an excellent officer." . oi'poscd to reciprocity

Tobacco Manufacturer and Grower Hcfore "Vnya and Meana Committee. WASHINGTON, Jan. 21. The ways and means committee to-day resumed its hearings on Cuban 'reciprocity with special reference to the , reduction on Cuban tobacco. The tobacco interests of the United States were largely represented, the officers of the Large Leaf, Manufacturers' and Growers' associations being present. John It. Young, president of the National Leaf Tobacco Association, made an earnest plea against any tobacco concessions to Cuba. He said there undoubtedly was a public sentiment in favor of granting relief to Cuba, but he contended that we should be as Just to the people of our own country as to people of foreign countries. The purpose of the movement for reciprocity, he said, was to have the whole expense of Cuba's relief fall on two American industries tobacco and sugar. There wae now a tobacco acreage in Ohio of S3.UO0 acres. Wisconsin, 25.0jO; Pennsylvania, 2Z.M; New York, 27.000; Connecticut, il.WU. and several thousand acres In other States, all of which production would be seriously crippled. As to cigars, Mr. Young declared that the proposed concessions would "wipe out the American-made 10-cent cigar." The Cuban cigar maker would lay down a cigar here for less than the American manufacture receives for his high-grade goods, and the Cuban would have the advantage of having his goods advertised as "imported cigars." This, Mr. Young, said, would secure for Cuba the entire American market for all goods above 5 cents. Representative Richardson, of Tennessee, asked If the price of cigars would be reduced to the cigar smoker. Mr. Young Eaid the price would be reduced, but he did not believe the consumer would ask this reduction at the expense of the American industry. J. Werthelm, of New York, head of a cigar concern employing 6,000 people, presented the serious effect of concessions on the American cigar interests. George Storm, president of the American Tobacco Growers' Association, and also an extensive cigar manufacturer, also argued against concessions to Cuba. He said the tobacco Interests of Cuba were not as much depressed as represented; that they were prosperous and enjoyed great advantage in the American market and that In effect they now desired an absolute monopoly of the American market. If the calamity of annexation came, Mr. Storm said that the tobaoco interests would bow to it, but for the present they protested against a movement calculated to enrich the tobacco and cigar industries of Cuba and destroy those of the United States. President Coleman, of the New Y'ork Tobacco Board of Trade, Daniel Harris, of the International Cigar Makers' Union, and several representatives of State tobacco interests also were heard In opposition to any concessions to Cuba. Money Needed for Inspections. WASHINGTON, Jan. 21. Owing to the threatened interruption of American meat exports to Europe, because of a failure of government Inspection, the secretary of agriculture to-day sent to the House of Representatives a request for an emergency appropriation of J40.0U0 to carry forward the Inspections conducted by the Bureau of Animal Industry. Without this, he says, the microscopic inspections cannot continue after March 1. Tho secretary says: "The Indirect effect of its temporary interruption will be much more damaging to American Interests than the mere loss of the continental export trade for a few months. It will result in breaking commercial connections and creating a bad impression in countries to which our products arc sent." House Democrat Not "Whole Party. WASHINGTON, Jan. 21. The committee of twelve appointed by direction of the caucus of house Democrats to consider a number of resolutions outlining the policy to be pursued by the minority during the present Congress, have agreed by a vote of 11 to 1 to recommend to the general Democratic caucus which meets on Friday the adoption of a resolution declaring It to be the sense of the Democrats of the House that the caucus is not lor the purpose of making platform declarations and has no power to add to or abstract from Its national platforms already adopted. Mr. Henry, of Texas, will offer as a substitute a resolution for the reaffirmation of the Kansas City platform. NATIONAL CAPITAL NOTES. Dricf Mention of Hill and Other Mattern of Interest. WASHINGTON, Jan. 21. The cabinet meeting to-day was devoted largely to the discussion of pending appointments in the several departments and the coming visit of Prince Henry of Prussia. Assistant Secretary of the Navy Darling suffered a severe fall cn the Icy pavement to-day. A cut on the side of the head and one on the lip, as well as several bruises about his knee, resulted, but it is thought no serious results will follow. The committee on the election of President and Vice President of the House today made a favorable report on the bill for the election of United States senators by direct vote of the people. The report follows literally that of last year and presents the advantages of popular election of senators. The House committee on rules decided on a change of the rules so as to exclude the general public from the floor when the House Is not In session, except on card of admission from a member of Congress. Representative McCleary. of Minnesota, introduced a bill to Increase the pay of rural free delivery carriers from $500 to $600 for the tirst year, V&) for-the second and $7L'0 for the third year.

It provides a penalty of death or life Imprisonment for the guilty parties. Representative Stephens, of Texas, Introduced a bill for the union of Oklahoma and Indian Territory as a State, to be known as the State of Oklahoma. The Senate committee on education and labor to-day heard arguments in support of the bills introduced by Senator Nelson granting national aid to institutions for industrial education. Mr. Edward Daniels and Dr. Alexander Kent contended that, as the tendency cf the country is toward industrial improvement, the Nation should give support to Industrial schools. This necessity they urged as especially pressing in the Southern States. The anti-oleomargarine hearings were continued before the House committee on agriculture. Grand Master Jones, of the National Grange, and ex-Representative Grout presenting arguments in favor of restricting oleomargarine and like products. The Navy Department has taken over the torpedo boat Goldsborough, building at Portland, Ore., by Wolff & Sewlcker. and will complete the boat at the Puget Sound Naval Station, deducting an allowance from the contract price for that purpose. The Goldsborough is 97 per cent, completed. Assistant Secretary of the Treasury Spaulding, acting upon the suggestion of the secretary of state, has directed that official flags in future should not be displayed by United States customs officers stationed In British North America. Some time last summer a Canadian customs flag was forcibly removed by Americans from a building occupied by the Canadian officials at Skagway, Alaska, and that incident initiated a correspondence which resulted in an agreement between the United States and Canada that neither should display its flag In the territory of the other. Senator Morgan to-day Introduced a bill placing General James Longtreet on the retired list of the army with the rank of major, the rank he held when he entered the service of the confederacy at the beginning of the civil war. Senator Gallinger Introduced a bill prohibiting vivisection In the District of Columbia.

The bill has in view the greater eflciency of the rational guard, particularly In the matter of equipment.

Assistant Chief of Police Hayden, of Rochester, was the first witness called In the trial to-day of the case growing out of the Cuban postofflce frauds. He testified to the arrest of C. F. W. Neely, ex-director of finances of the Cuban postofflce, on a train at Rochester. Postofflce Inspector Coates testified that he ordered the arrest of Neely and afterward went to Rochester. There Neely said his arrest was a mistake, and that he had not done anything wrong. Coates said he found a postofflce account book in Neely's traveling bag. This h3 returned to Neely when the latter said it was his private property. The government contends that this book is the missing ledger. Postofflce Inspector King testified that Neely put up for his bond two ten thousand dollar bills which were not on his person when he was arrested. King said that Neely was watched after his release, and that he did not try to escape. Mr. Erickson, former postmaster of Trinidad, Cuba, said he resigned his position in September, 1S09, and came to Havana, arriving there Sept. 16.

After arriving at Mobile, Erickson said, he received a check for $32 in a letter forwarded from Trinidad, and that this check was dated Sept. 16, the eame day he was In Havana. He returned the check to Reeves. To-day he identified this check, and he said his indorsement on it was a forgery, and that his name was spelled wrongly. Inspectors Seybold and Neil testified to the examination of Neely'3 cash April 23 by order of Rathbone. They said the account balanced with the auditor's statement, and that they thought Reeves knew of this Intended inspection. After hearing that Colonel Burton, inspector general of the division of Cuba, had discovered discrepancies in the postal accounts, they reexamined the books in Neely's office, but then did not find anything wrong. Seybold and Neil said they did not examine the auditor's books, but received a statement from acting Auditor Reynolds as to the amount of money Neely should have. Some time after this examination they discovered by Rathbone's report that not as many stamps as it was alleged had been burned had been sent from the United" States.

CONDITIONS IN CHINA

IMPROVEMENT NOTICED BY THE LONDON TI31ES CORRESPONDENT. Son of Prince Chins to Represent the Flowery Kingdom nt Kins Edward' Coronation. LONDON, Jan. 21. The Peking correspondent of the Times says that the son of Prince Ching has been nominated to represent China at the coronation of King Edward. The son of Prince Ching is a distant cousin of the Emperor of China and quite an unknown man. The correspondent of the Times says: "On returning to Peking after two months' absence I find the outlook most encouraging. Since assuming the vice royalty of Chl-Li province Yuan Shai Kai ha acted with the decision and energy worthy his reputation as the strongest ruler China has produced in many years. The ministers of the foreign powers are well satisfied with the friendly disposition of the Chinese authorities, and the missionaries consider the outlook to be greatly improved. The Chinese declare they will not agree to any convention weakening China's sovereignty in Manchuria or impairing the treaty rights with other powers. The Chinese government profoundly regrets the murder of the French missionary and has taken immediate steps to punish those guilty of this action and to make reparation. "All impartial opinions at Tlen-Tsin supports the restitution of the administration of that city to the Chinese and restoration of the Peking-Tlen-Tsin railway. Nothing in the protocol Justifies the foreigners in their retention of Tien-Tsln, while the exorbitant charges on the railway tend to stifle commercial intercourse. The railway is being run by the military with a total disregard to the business requirements. There is ptill little doubt that when the river is opened Chinese wishes in these matters will be acceded to. "The attacks of British writers on Tmusglue as a Boxer leader, are much to be deprecated arM have served to drive him into the arms of Russia. If he Is guilty, so also is Ching. The friendly viceroys all support him and declare that It was his influence that saved the lives of the foreigners during the lege of the legations and nullified the edicts ordering the extermination of for eigners. The Chinese allege he retained thekeys of the arsenal during the siege and thus prevented the use of modem guns against the legations. He is a powerful of ficial and the bethrothal or his daughter to the Emperor's brother has strengthened his Influence." OBITUARY.

To-night, with an extra force of policemen on duty, officers were stationed along streets where trouble might be looked for. Cars were run with something like a regular schefcule In the down-town districts, but not into the outskirts. When Manager Clark, of the company, was informed that State Labor Commissioner McCormack had arrived in the city to assist in trying to settle the strike by arbitration, he said: "We have nothing to arbitrate. We are running our cars and are furnishing light and heat." National Organizer Pratt says it is probably true that some of the men have told Mr. Clark they would return to work, but that would make no difference In the plans of those who are in charge of the strike. The leaders do not hope to prevent the operation of the system, but depend for success entirely on depriving the company of revenue by preventing patronage of the cars. F. C. Mitchell, of Fort Wayne, an officer of the stationary firemen's organization, arrived this morning, and to-night was at the joint meeting of trainmen, tiremen, the Central Labor Union and other strike leaders. The company withdrew all cars at 9 o'clock to-night. When the question was afked at the offices why it was done the reply was: "They wouldn't giv us police protection." "Has there been any trouble to-night?" was asked. "No trouble at all," was the reply. More cars were in service to-day than yesterday. In the afternoon Manager Clark said he would have the system in full operation by to-mor-row at the latest. He says half a dozen of the old conductors and motormen had reported willing to go to work. He says there is no doubt that practically all the strikers will return to work as soon as they are assured protection against violence. The first cars since Saturday were run down Thirteenth street this morning, but two of them were In trouble this afternoon. A hurry call was sent for the police and when they arrived It was learned that a few boys had been throwing things on the track. There was no serious obstruction to traffic. It has been learned that the Police Board overruled Chief Hyland in his decision to put policemen on the cars. President Talley asked State Labor Commissioner McCormack as to the advisability of doing so and wai informed that it would be bad policy and most likely lead to excessive violence. The strikers have submitted a proposition to Manager Clark, which he said he would take under consideration, but it is understood by both sides that at present there Is no likelihood of serious negotiations to settle the strike by any compromise measure and that the proposition submitted to Mr. Clark is for the purpose of making a record for the men. In this proposition the xnen ask for 20 and 22 cents an hour and a nine-hour day for trainmen. They received 16 cents under an arbitration award for the year ended last October, when they asked for an advance. This was refused and the first of this month the company established the graduated schedule from 16 to 20 cents, the larger amount being for men who had been in the employ of the company for ten years. The strikers say that the schedule means a net advance to 17 cents when all the men are graded. The proposition also calls for the reinstatement of all men discharged since the nr3t of the year and that motormen be allowed to ue stools on their cars. There is also a provision for a board of arbitration when the company wants to discharge a union man. Strike Situation In I'nehnnKetl. Special to the ImJlanajolls Journal. BRAZIL. Ind., Jan. 21.

They Are Expected to Increase Ohio Revenue About 91,600,000. COLUMBUS, O., Jan. 21. Two important tax bills indorsed by Governor Nash were introduced in th Legislature to-day. One provides for an annual tax of one-tenth of 1 per cent, on the authorized capital stock of all Ohio corporations and on the proportion of capital stock of foreign corporations represented by property or business in Ohio. All companies paying excise taxes are exempted. Annual reports are required to be filed by corporations amenable to the tax, but they are not inquisitorial.
