MENACE TO TREATY RIGHTS Chinese Exclusion Bill Denounced in Benste ai to International Obligations, BAD ON THE COVETED OPEN DOOR POLICY Foraker and MrLanrln I. rail In ittark oa the Rill, the Latter In Inter est of Southern t'wtlon 1 Trade. WA6HINQTON, April 14. The Chinese exclusion bill bccupled the attention of the senate throughout today, Senators Foraker and McLaurln of South Carolina making extended speeches In opposition. Mr. For aker contended that the pending measure was violative of our treaty with China and waa calculated to restrict our commercial expansion in the enst. Whilf strongly sup porting tbe policy of the government to ex clude Chinese laborers, the CThlo senator maintained that this could be best accomp lished by an extension of the present law, holding that the drastic provisions of the pending bill would cut off our cotton trade with China and thus wreck the cotton In dustry of the south. Mr. Teller, briefly responded to Mr. For aker. ureln hat the right to abrogate treaties was fully recognised. Mr. Lodge of Massachusetts gave notice of an amendment striking out tbe much discussed ctauee prohibiting " the employ ment of Chineee sailora on American ships. Would Rain t'otton Export. Mr. McLaurln said it was Inconceivable that anv honorable nation, least of all the United States, should surrender Its Integ rity by deliberately adopting policies and enacting laws In violation of Its own sworn compact and treaty with any other power, and that, too, during a period ot profound peace, without any provoking cause from the other nation. The pending senate bill, he declared, waa calculated by Its restric tive action and inlmlcable spirit, to kill our trade with China. This was a consideration of vital importance to South Carolina, with Ita vast cotton productions and the growing shipments of cotton goods to China. Mr. McLaurln said the effect of a shut down In the China trade and the consequent oollapae of southern cotton manufacturing would be most severe on the south. It would glut the horne market and close the mills. The mill owners and the opera tives would suffer. In South Carollaa some 60,000 operatives would be Injured, while the same result would occur In North Caro lina, Georgia, Alabama, and all the states where cotton Is grown or cotton goods manu factured. Effect on Treatlea. Mr. Foraker took up tbe various treatlea. showing the development of that exclusion policy and the various rights given and restrictions imposed. Replying to a ques tion from Mr. Piatt of Connecticut, Mr. Foraker aald that Li Hung Chang would have been excluded from this country under the provisions of the pending bill, and China could exclude our missionaries, engi neers and students. Mr. Foraker contended that the treaty of 1894 waa the culmination ot the statutory provisions on exclusion, snd the only pro hibition under that treaty was sgslnst la borer, all other classes being permitted to eome to reside here. No one had pointed out any bad effect from the admission of the educated Chinaman. He therefore op posed the pending treaty as violating the constitution: Mr. Queries,, aaked If the new Chines policy of sending eutha to America schools would not make each on of these youths an advance agent of American civilization. Blow at a Good Cause. Mr. Foraker responded by resdlng recent edicts directing that young men from every province be seat abroad to study. And yet, declared Mr. Foraker, at thla moment senators were asked to vote to exclude Chinese students from our shores. In his Judgment a more unwise provision and one more violative of our treaty obligations bad not been proposed sine he entered th senate. Mr. Foraker denied that the proposed measurs was In the Interest of th wage earners of the United States. Mr. Lodge- opposed amendments to what is known as the seaman's clause.' One of the amendments' struck out the entire clause prohibiting Chinese sailors on American ships, and the other increased to $10,000, the bond to be given by foreign ships not to permit the landing of Chine sailors. The amendments went over. DRAG DEBATE ON RECIPROCITY Enemies of Cubaa Bill Seek to Pro- Ions Its Stay la tha . Hons. WASHINGTON. April 14. Interest in tbs Cuban reclnrocltv debate In tha house seems to be waning, judging by the attend ance on the floor today, but the earnestness ot tbs speeches on both sides ot tha ques tlon increase rather than dcorease in In tensity. That the opponents of the .bill are de termlned to prolong tbe struggls as much as Dosslblo waa mads manifest In tb record. Mr. Robinson of Indiana, oppoad Cuban annexation, on the ground, jthat It would threaten the American wage earner.

Mr. Robertson ot Louisiana, also a mem ber of the ways and means committee, op posed tha Mil In a vigorous speech, lis contended that the United States would reap practically nothing from a reciprocity agreement with Cuba. Moreover. Mr. Robertson atgurd that the American consumer would secure no re duction on tits sugar as a result of the pro posed legislation. Tho augar trust, be de clared would be the chief beneficiary. So far as Louisiana ,was concerned, her sugar Interests, he ssserted. asked nothing to which they were sot entitled under the tenets of every party. . Mr. Stevens of Minnesota, opposed the bill. He declared that those who were pressing uougress to give relief to Cuba were mainly men who bad gone into the Island in the hope of amassing tortune. As a showing that there was no distress In Cuba, he declared that on a recent visit to Cuba, he fouad there were in the banks of Cienfuegos. a city of 69,000. over $12,000, 000 of deposits. Mr. Stevens dubbed tbe threat of annexa tion a "bogle man." As s republican he favored reciprocity, and If there were any genuine reciprocity In this bill he would support It. .

NC0ME TAX STEMS THE TIDE Ship, Maya Chancellor of Exchequer, Which Bore Through Finan cial Storm. LONDON, April 14. The chancellor ot the exchequer, Sir ' Michael Hicks-Beech, in the House of Commons thla afternoon made the budget statement. He declared the past year bad not been exceptionally prosperous,' but -there was nothing to de press the country. Despite the fact that thousands of workmen bad been removed from productive labor by the war, the rev enue figures showed no diminution ot busi ness at home, white there was a satisfac tory Increase ot foreign trade, and there waa no reason for thinking that tbere had been any falling off of the consuming power of the people. He. was In fnT'Cjceptlonal position for a Chancellor ;f tbgiexchequer, holding office during a severe war that for two years paet . the rvenu ad exceeded bis antlcl- patlons the. . last, year by 543,000, when his total deficit, including tbe war expendi tures .of 78,195.000 for South Africa and China, was 62,644,000. Sugar Tax Successful. Proceeding to deal with the receipts of last year In detail, Sir Michael Hicks- Beach aald tbe sugar tax wss most success. ful. It brought in 9,500,000, against bis estimate ot 5,100,000. The export duty on coal produced 1,314,000, which was also above tbe estimate, while tbe prophets of svll were so far from being Justified that the exports were higher than In the case of any year, except the record year of 1899. It would be difficult to convince him that the tax should be repealed. The death duties bad produced 19,898,- 000. There had been a material decrease In the consumption of beer. Though tbe death duties were a useful life buoy to the chancellor of the ex chequer, tbe real ship which bore him safely through t tbe stormy seas of na tlonal finance, was the income tax, which last year yielded 34,800,000. or 1,000,000 abov the estimate. The acount ot tbe national debt waa not so satisfactory. It now stood at 747, $06, the funded debt showing sn Increase ot 58,000,000, chiefly due to tho consols losn ot last spring. - Knoratou'e Cost of tho War. The cost of the war for three years was 165,034.000, In addition to tbs bope of repayment from the vealth of the Trans vaal tbere was their share In tbe Chinese Indemnity, which was a very valuable asset and probably would bs devoted to a reduc Ion of the war debt. Tbe nationalist mem bers Ironically cheered tbe reference made by the chancellor to tbe Transvaal. After touching on various details tbe chancellor turned to the prospects ot the future.- He estimated the erpendlture for the coming yesr. at. 174,609,000. The rev enue on tbe present bails of taxation was 147,785,000, leaving a deficit ot 16,824,- 000. This would be Increased by 18,500, 000 by gratuities to tbe troop and bringing the soldier borne, tbe maintenance of tbe South African constabulary and tho cost ot the International augar convention, etc, making a gross deficit of 45,000.000. Makes aad Leaves Expense. War waa a costly thing to wag and a costly thing to terminate After the war waa over there would b th great cxpenss of th relief and tb resettlement of the two colonies and tho restocking of farms. He hoped that when durable peace was made Parliament would ba generous and loan money for restocking tbe farms, not only of those who fought on th British side, but those who bsd been honest ene mies and whom they now hoped to maks friends, and for railroad and other enter prises to servo and to develop th two states., It was- bis duty not to tak a rosy view ot th ca,. but to provlds for tbs worst. H. bsd hopes of a happy result from th conference In South Africa, but he had put them aald. Preparations for tb continuance ot tb war war tbe beat guarantee of peace. The chancellor proposed to auspend the sinking fund, rsduclng tbe deficit by 4.- 600,000, and to lncrsas by a penny on the pound th income tax. yielding 2,000,000 Increase. From- July I ther would bo a penny to 2-pencg stamp duty on sight bills. including dividend wsrrsnts ana enscks, yielding 500.000. .

IS GIVEN THE WATER CURE Filipino Presidents Held Under Tank While Water Drips Into His Mouth. PURPOSE IS TO FORCE A CONFESSION Witness Before Senate Committer De scribe Method of Tortare AI leaeri to Be Fimployed by Soldiers la Philippines. WASHINGTON, April 14 Tha senate committee on the Philippines begsn the week with the Intention of making an In vestigation of the charges to the effect tht the "water cure," so-called, is practiced on the insurgents, and Charles 8. Riley of Northampton, Mass., formerly a sergeant in Comonny M, Fifty-sixth volunteer infantrr. was the first witness called. Mr. Riley said that he had been In the Philippines from October 2S, 1899. to March 4, l!01. In reply to questions by Senator Rawlins he said he had witnessed the 'water cure" at Igbaraa, In the province of Hollo, on November $7. 1900. It waa ad ministered to the prealdente. or chief Fili pino official of the town. He said that upon the arrival of his command at Ig baraa the presldente was asked whether runners had been sent out notifying the Insurgents of their presence, snd thst upon his refusal to give the Information be was taken to the convent, where the witness wss stationed and where the water cure waa administered to him. This official was, he esld, a man about 40 years of age. When he (tbe witness) first saw him he waa atandlng in the cor ridor of the convent, stripped to the waist and bis hands tied behind him with Cap tain Glenn and Lieutenant Conger Of the regular army and Dr. Lyons, a contract surgeon, standing near, while many sol diers Stood about. The man, he said, was then thrown under a water tank, which held about 100 gallons of water, and bis mouth placed directly under the faucet and held open so as to compel him to swal low the water which waa allowed to escape from the tank. Over him stood an inter preter repeating one word, which the wit ness ssld he did not understand, but which he believed to be the native equivalent of "confess." Dose la Repeated. M'hen at last the presidents agreed to tell wbat he knew he was released and allowed to start away. He was not, how ever, permitted to escape and upon refus ing to give further information he was again tsken as he waa about to mount bis horse and the cure administered for the second time. This time the man was not stripped, nor waa be taken Into the build ing. Dr. Lyons said the water could be brought to the spot and given there and when it was brought in a five-gallon can one end of a eyrlnge was placed In It and the other In the man'a mouth. As he still refused, a second syringe was brought and one end ot it placed In the prostrate n an's nose. He still refused and a handful of aalt was thrown Into tbe water. This had the desired effect and the presldente agreed to answer all questions. On cross-examination by republican sen ators, Mr. Riley aald the "cure" had been first resorted to to compel the presldente !o reveal bis own attitude, and that it bad been learned from his confession; thst while he professed to be friendly to the United States, be wss In reality a captain of the Insurgent forces, and that his police were all soldiers. , Victim Stranale fiercely. AS a consequence of this esposure, be wss? arrested and lbe.own ' burned.' He said that the victim stfi ggled fiercely, Vhlle the cure was being fcidflnlstered and that hts eyes were bloodshot, but that the next day when he raw the man be observed no HI effects of tbe "dose" he bad received Senator Burrows, referring to the surgeon in charge, ssked: "Did anyone shoot him? The witness replied in the negative. - The second sdmintstratlon had been given to compel the Information as to runners. Mr. Riley also said he bad known of many cruelties and indignities practiced upon American soldiers by natives. Another witness, William L. Smith of Athol, Mass., who was a private in Com' pany' M, Twenty-sixth Volunteer Infantry corroborated Riley's testimony, saying that be had also witnessed the torture ot two policemen. Water Care Detail. Smith said the details ot the "cure" were In tbe bands ot a squad ot the Eighteenth regular lnfaulry, kuown as "the water cure detail." He also said that be had assisted In the burning ot the town of Igbaraa, and that the natives generally escaped from their houses only. with, the clotbes tbey wore. Mr. Smith expressed . tbe opinion . that Igbaraa bad a population of 10,000. So tar as he knew no lives were lost. The witness said that tbe country place In the vicinity also were burned. All these acts wer's done, under tbe command of Captain Glenn, who was, be said. Judge advocate of tho department of the Vlacayas. He said tbs water was kept running for four or five minutes and that the doctor In charge frequently placed his hand upon the man's heart as If to observe ita effect, upon that organ..

I CONTROL OF ROAD A SECRET Krpnted Owitri of I.oula llle A ash vllle rerslalrnllr ltefnse to Talk an Sabisft. NEW YORK, April 14 Countless rumors dealing with the reported change of con trol of the Louisville A Nashville road were current today, but nothing In tho way of official news was obtaiuabir. The several conferences of last Saturday including that between John W. Gates and George Teiklns at the offices of J. P. Mor gan A Co. are regarded with more tliaa a little significance by students of the sit uation. Mr. Gates had another talk with Mr. Perkins today and soon after President Spcrlcer of the Southern railway visited the Morgan banking house. John W. Gates and his associates are reported to own or control more than SW, 000 shares of Louisville, of which the total share capital is 600.000 shares. Some of this Is on contracts for delivery within the next three weeks. It Is not doubted thst the Louisville ft Nashville-Southern rail way situation was thoroughly discussed at the meeting between Messrs. Perkins and Gates, but with what result may not be known tor some days. Conservative opin ion' inclines to the belief, however, that the Southern interests will be founJ domi nant in Luulbvllle. The strength of Illinois Central during today's early session of the stock market gave rise in some quarters to the belief that tbe road would be found In control of Louisville ft Nashville? The beat information falls to bear this out. One of the afternoon reports had It that Morgan 'ft Co. had been asked to lake the l6ulvllle matter In hand and effect a settlement If the terms of the Oates' fac tion were not too onerous. On this and all other matter all- handa maintained reserve. Mr. PSrklns said that under no circum stances would he talk about the matter and Mr. Gates declared that Louisville was the one thing he must decline to discuss. "It has been aald, Mr. Gates, that you and your friends control more than 300.000 shares of Louisville." "I cannot prevent people from talking," was Mr. Gates' reply. "But I again tell you that I am not talking on this subject." TRUMBULL TURNS THE DEAL President of Colorado A Southern In strumental la Effecting Sale of the Road. DENVER. April 14.
