Among them were the follow- ing bills: By Senater Lodge, to am immigration laws, excludi migrants between 14 and 60 years of age who can not both read and write the English language. By Senator Gray, to incorporate the international American bank in accordance with the recommenda | tions of the international American conference. | By Senator Cullom, providing | that no person shall be eligible as! an assigneef or receiver of a bank | rupt railroad who shall have been a} director, officer or employe of such | road at any time within three years. | By Senator Hawley, providing) regulation of the importation of ex-| plosives. By Senator Hale, to reorganize | the personnel of the navy. This bill | is the same as presented by Senator | Butler in the last Congress. | By Senator Lodge (by request), | appropriating $100,000 for the en-| couragement of aerial navigation. By Senator Baker, removing the bar of limitation in suits brought by laborer or mechanics against the} Cnited States for work done. | By Senator Voorhees, increasing | all pensions granted under the act| of 1890 to $12. | Senator Sherman re-introduced his | bill of last session to fixa uniforr | standard of classification and grad-| ing of grain. Senator Sherman also presented a bill for the readjustment and in-} crease of pensions granted on ac- count of the loss of limbs. By Senator Voorheees, proyiding punishment for persons guilty of contempt of United States courts. The bill makes moving about, talk- ing or the making of gestures while a court is sitting an act of contempt and provides punishment either by fine or imprisonment. Senator Squire of Washington in- troduced an important bill to pro- vide a general system of fortifica- tions for seacoast defense. It ap propriates $87,000,000 to be expend- ed during the next twelve years at the important ports of the country, such as New York, San Francisco, Philadelphia, New Orleans and oth- ers, not only on the ‘seacoast, but on the great lakes; the navigable rivers and the estuaries of the sea, such as! Puget Sound and Hampton Roads In presenting the bill Mr. Squire} dwelt upon the necessity of provid- ing adequate protection to the coun- try. He stated that the provisions of the bill were in accordance with the recommendations of the board appointed by the President under the act of 1885, and said that the scheme was one which had the in dorsement of many expert engineers and high officials, including the Secretary of War and the command- ing general of the army. Dawn of a Brighter Day. Kaneas City Times. | The news from St. Louis yester- day that the democratic state cen- tral committee had held its first full meeting since the unification of the factions in the party, and had sig nalized its sense of the occasion by refusing to accept Mr. Maffitt’s res- ignation as chairman of the commit- tee, aroused many pleasurable emo- tions in the breasts of democrats in this city. The fact that the two factions have risen to a full realization of the follies of the past, and are determin- ed to proceed in future upon differ- ent lines, is a fact of tremendous significance to every true democrat, | | the party was a genuine one, in | Maffitt that his retirement would | |the death of which, as the Republic will put it, “there was no humiliation of fac rejudice, no sacrifice no trium of prin It should be stated ix Mr. Maffitt that be slightest pi ti bineteen que at his resign he bad eight years, and his private andthe demands of his bu made it imperative that he retire. | When it was represented to Mr.) nearly affairs siness hould arouse old suspicions and reopen old sores, and thus havea bad effect | upon democratic prospects, like the! good and loyal democrat that he is, | Mr. Mafiitt consented to make the! sacrifice of his private interests and | remain at the head of the commit | tee.

A very wise conclusion, indeed. as the questions involved are delicate and intricate, besides being required to meet con- tradictory conditions in the various districts. The committee has a very difficult task before it, but its exe|% zier. guarantee that it will take hold of its work with a firm hand, and “plucking the flower safely from the nettle danger,” will present a com-| erganization. All in all, the honors are easy be- tween the old members and the new on the committee, in respect to the efforts made in the direction of dem-} ocratic harmony.

But he has held them all off, and this is the first au- thorized announcement of his candi- dacy. Pressure has been brought to bear from all parts of this and other States to bring Mr. Allison into the field, and itis in response to this unanimous call that the Re- publican State central committee, at its meeting last evening, took the matter up of its own accord and made the official announeement.
