' .ft ' THE NORFOLK NEWS : FRIDAY , APRIL 11 , WOIT .Shows Democrats to Be as Seri ously Divided as Republicans. tJEBATE OPENS IN THE HOUSE. -Payne Measure Providing for Twenty Per Cent Reduction Still Seems to Command Sufficient Strength to In * | oure Its Passage. ! Washington , April 9. The first day of the debate on the Cuban reciprocity bill , which opened In the house yes terday , was disappointing from a spec tacular standpoint. There were no sensational clashes after the debate was actually begun nnd none of the bitterness which was expected to crop out on the floor came to the surface. w The vote on the motion to go Into commltteo of the whole to consider the bill , however , developed the lines of cleavage and showed that the Demo crats are quite as much divided on the question as Is the majority. In the division , which is regarded as prac tically a test vote on the bill , 114 Re publicans and 03 Democrats voted for the motion and 41 Democrats and 39 Republicans against It. The vote was .In reality more embarrassing to the Democrats than to the Republicans , as the members of the minority had called a conference for last night at which they desired to get together on a course of action. The vote forced the hands of the Democrats as Individ uals before the caucus. Payne , the Republican leader , opened the debate for the bill In a strong speech , which commanded close attention from both sides of the house. There were only two other speeches , Newlands , a Democrat from Nevada , took the position that the concession should not be made to Cuba unless she were Invited at the same time to become a part of the United States. McClellan , a Now York Democrat , who was the last speaker , favored a 60 per cent reduc tion for the benefit of Cuba , but gave notice that If the rate of reduction was not increased ho would vote for the bill. He contended that reciprocity was in line with time-honored doc trine , and that whllo Republicans might fear it , Democrats should not. CULLOM VOICES PROTEST. I Bays Chinese Exclusion Bill Contra venes Existing Treaties. Washington , April 9. A vigorous protest was made In the senate yesterday - day by Culloin ( Ills. ) against the passage - sago of the Chinese exclusion bill In Its present form. Coming from the chairman of the committee on foreign relations , the protest made a deep impression - -pression - on the senate. Cullom , while expressing himself as in favor of the exclusion of Chinese laborers , said many provisions of the pend ing treatoy were In contra- .ventlon with our treaty conventions - -ventions with China. He urged ' that the United States could not afford to ignore its solemn treaties , although he conceded the authority of congress to enact the proposed law if It saw fit to do so. Patterson ( Colo. ) and Per kins ( Cal. ) supported the pending -1)111 , maintaining that In no way did * lt contravene existing treaties , as by he convention of 1894 China had agreed that Chinese laborers should be excluded from this country. The 'bill was drastic In Its provisions , they admitted , but no more so than was necessary to eliminate the possibility of fraud. 1 DEMOCRATS FAIL TO AGREE. Conference of House Members on Re ciprocity Proves of No Avail. Washington , April 9. After a con ference lasting nearly three hours last night , the Democratic members of the house tabled a number of proposltlonh which had been presented relative to the policy to bo pursued on the Cuban reciprocity bill now before the house und then adjourned without action ou T the subject. The result of the confer ence leaves each Democratic member free to exercise his Individual opinion nnd it is generally believed that this will result In the passage of the reci procity bill as the test vote In the house showed about CO Democratic members for the bill , which will mucn more than offset the Republican defec tion from the measure.
