Protest in Senate Opposes Chinese Exclusion Bill
Senator Cullom voiced a strong protest against the current Chinese exclusion bill urging framing to admit honest teachers and students while maintaining treaty obligations. California’s Perkins argued most Chinese came via San Francisco, with widespread support for exclusion and labor competition fears across the United States. A telegram from San Francisco capitalists denounced provisions barring Chinese merchants.

Rhodes Dream of World Power By a Secret Society
A long Stead interview with Cecil Rhodes reveals his plan for a world order led by a secret Loyola-style society that would marshal global wealth for a federation of nations. Rhodes advocates a covert, half-century program to unite America and Britain, with a federal parliament alternating five years in Washington and London to govern the world. He envisions a warlike tariff strategy, US alliance, and a peaceful millennium through elite stewardship. The piece also notes other items: Columbia’s King’s Cup bid, Admiral Schley addressing Utica students, Turkish-Revolution spread, and Lane’s execution date pending in Harrisburg.

Waller tells of Smith order to burn Samar as wilderness
Manila April 9 Major Arleton W. T. Waller Marine Corps testified at court martial that General Jacob H. Smith instructed him to burn and kill, not to take prisoners, and to make Samar a howling wilderness. He said Smith defined the killing age as everything over meat and repeated the order to Captain Porter. Other Marines corroborated. The defense sought records of the Balangiga massacre to refute Smith.
