A point which occasioned much consid- eration \by tlie committee was whether or not Chinese should be excluded from the Philippines or whether the r hole question should ibe left to the Philippine commission. The committee agreed to reftain the provision of absolute exclusion, taking the ground that ithe United States wanted to retain the Philippines for the Filipinos, and that the latter were mii'ch opposed to the admission of Chinese as were the Americans. Another section of 'tihe bill which the committee debated at length was that sxoluding Chinese sailors froto ships of American register. This provision also was retained in the bill, but with a proviso to the effect that In case of accident, stress of weather or serious illness the captain of a vessel may ship a Chinese crew for the voyage upon which he may have entered. The provisions regarding the privilege of transit of Chinese across the United States are changed in phraseoloigy, but are practicably the same in effect. FOR THE NICARAGUA ROUTE. Senate Committee Votes to Report House Bill. Washington, March 13—T!he J Senate Interocean Canal Committee yesterday- voted, 7 to 4, to report favorably the bill passed by the House to provide for the construction iby the United •States of a canal *by the Nicaragua route .at a cost not exceeding $l< r 000,000. Chairman. Morgan will make the fortmaJ report to the Senate and will endeavor to arrange with the Re- aibliean Steerintg Committee for its eaTly consideration. Mr. .Morgan will not make a written reiporft (beyond a memorandum setting forth the salient points in the Ihearings which the com- mitrtee has been holding for two moniths. • The minority members, how- ever, will set forfth their views at some length, 'giving their reasons for pposing the Nicaragua route. The action was unexpected, and was due to a report made to the commit- tee by Chaiinman Morgan of a confer- ence with Secretary Hay over the Stat- us of the negotiations with Nicaragua and Costa Rica for the acquisition of half a dozen times in the District S&-* %&« 'right of way for the canal. Pro- tocols looking to »n agreement with those Governments have already been signed, burt those Governments recent- ly made representations tihat they were arranged, under the old Hay-Paunice- fote treaty, under which, England and the United 'States had joint control over the proposed canal. They con- tended that conditions were changed by the elimination of English control and County Detectives CMaher and by the new treaty and they would not Rd ki id f be bound by the protocols. Evidently some new arrangement with those Governments reached by the S«ate Department, for Mr. Morgan reported to the eommii'tltee today that no obstacle now existed to the acquisition by the United States of \full control\ of the territory nec- essary for the carnal, and on this as- surance the committee took favorable action cm the House bill. It authorizes the President to ac- quire from Nicaragua and Costa Rica control of the territory desirable and necessary to excavate, constrniicit and protect a canal from Greytolwn on the Atlantic Ocean, toy way of the San Juan river and I.ake Nicaragua, to Brito on the Pacific, capable of ... . •rying slhips of the gi-eattest tonnage and draiiigh't now in use. A sufficient siim to secure the concessions is ap- propriated. After the President has secured \full control\ of the territory he is to direct the Secretary of War to construct the canal, the necessary harbors and such provisions for de- fense as may t>e necessary for their safety and protection. The Mil appro- priates $10,000,000 for beginning the work of construction and authorizes the Secretary of War to make eon- tracts for its completion at a cost not exceeding $180,000,000, to be appro- priated from time to time.

Washington, March 11—A joint cau- I cus of- the Senate and House Repub- licans was held in the hall of the House of (Representatives last night, for tihe selections of mem!bers of the Republican committee to conduct the coming congressional campaign.

Jones told the jury the other day that after chloroforming William M. Rice iat tine request of Pat- rick, he put the towel and the sponge which he had used in the operation in the range, where there, was no fire, touched a match to them and that they \iburaed right up.\ \Did they burn quickly?\ asked Mr. Moore, for the defense. \Yes said Jones; \they burned riigliit up quickly.\ In-answer to a question on. this point at the preliminary hearing Jones said that the towel and sponge burned i if saturated with oil. This is one of the many points in the valet's confes- sion whieh Patrick's lawyers are try- ing to expose as ajbsurd and impossi- ble and not damaging to their theory that Mr. Bice died of natural ca-uses. \Whoever fixed up the towel ^burn- ing part of Jones's story,\ said Mr. House, in his opening for the defense the other day, \was a very poor cftiem- ist. He did not knew that chloroform is not a ccwnbustiJble. He got i t con- foised with ether.\ The result of yesterday's experi- ments was rather in flavor of Patrick. The experiments were performed in an anteroom of Recorder Goff's court, during the noon recess by Dr. John H. Girdner and Mr. Moore, repiresent- inig Patrick, and the Assistant District Attorney and Dr. Lewis Sehuijtz, an experft for the prosecution. There -were two experiaaBhts. In each case a towel was rolled into a cone, the sponge placed in the small end, two ounces of chloroform was poured upon the sponge land\ tlhen after j thirty minutes the match, was applied. The tame allowance and all the pre- liminary details were in stoict accord! with Jones's description of what he did after the toiuirder to concefal the I evidence. After recess Dr. Girdner went back to the witness stand and gave fne jury the following account of the experiments: In the first experiment we made a cone of the towel by rolling it over the •hand and pinning it at the top. A sponge was placed in tfiie small end and two ounces of chilorofopm was poured on the sponge. The towel and iponge were then left, with the large end of the cone on a fiat table, for thirty minutes in a closed room. The window was then opened. The cone was placed on &, wire griddle so ar- raniged that there was circulation of air (beneath it and a match was ap- plied to the edge of the totwel in two places. It blazed slowly for nine min- utes and then the flame died oust, when aibout one-tlhird of the edge of the towel had been charred. The towel then smouldered for fifty-one minutes. Sixty minutes ©lapsed (be- tween the time of applying the match and when the totwel was (burned up. The second experiment was tlte same as the first, except that the Maze lasted only six amd one-quarter i ute . and the towel smouldered fifty- four minutes. The charred fragments of the two towels and wfhole sample towels of the same size and quality were then shown to the jury. RIOT IN SCRANTON: Street Car Attacked by Mob of Three Thousand and Burned. Scnantton, Pa., March 13—The worst riot that has occurred in connection wiiCh the street car strike, occurred at 10 o'clock last night in Minooka just outside of the city line.

J., March H3—City offi- cials are puzzled as to what they shall do in regard to Clinton Township, a district with a popudation of ,1,700, which yesterday voted to annex ifcself to Newark, (without invitation oi* per- mission from the city. Tlhe legal provision covering tlhe ac- tion is stated in a law which provides thJat upon a favorable vote of the resi- dents of the township, it shouM be- come a part of the City of Newark. City (Attorney Boggs is at a loss as to what steps to take. He said today thait he did not knotw how the public buildings, schools, and records were to come into Newark's possession, or even how he was obtain official! noti- fication that a vote had (been taken in the township. Tflie fact that in Newark taxes (be- come a lien against property in Jan- uary and in Clinton Township not until May, is another circumstance that will cause trouble. City Attorney Boggs of Newark and Adrian Riker, counsel for Clinton Township, axe both of the opinion that additional legislation will be nec- essary before the unsolicited annexa- tion is effected.
