THE SENATE ONLY IN SESSION. eS Mr. Faulkner Takes His Seat. —SSa Mr. Morrill Discusses Immigration ‘The Senate. Mr. Hoar, from the committee on privileges and elections, presented a report in the West Virginia case, He said that tie report was unanimous. ‘The questions raised were very simple ones and easily comprehended. One of them had been long ago determined by the Senate, and he supposed that all Senators had had occasion to reflect on the other. In order that the Senator entitled to the ‘seat might enter at once upon his duties, he hoped ‘there would be no cbjection to having the report disposed of at present. MR. FAULKNER TAKES HIS SEAT. The report was read at length. It concludes with two resolutions—the one declaring that Daniel H. Lucas is not entitled to the seat, and the other declaring that Charles J. Faulkner has been duly elected Senator from the State of West Virginia for the term of six years commencing 4th March, 1887, and is entitled to a seat in the Senate assuch Senator. The resolutions were agreed to, ‘viva voce, and the oathof office was thereupon administered vo Mr. Faulkner, Mk. FAULKNER ON THE DISTRICT COMMITTEE. Mr. Hoar then moved that Mr. Faulkner be as- ‘signed to the committees on claims, District of Columbia, mines and mining and pensions. Agreed to. AN AMENDMENT TO THE RULES. Mr. Harris,from the committee on rules, re- Ported an amendment to the thirty-first rule. ‘That rule provides that where an adverse report 13 made on a claim, and the report. to, itshall not be in order to move to take the papers from file for the purpose of referring them, at a subse- quent ‘session, unless the petition states that new evidence has n discovered, and the substance ofit. The amendment is to add to the rule a Clause that In cases where there is no adverse re- port, it shail be the duty of, the Secretary of, the nate to transmit all ‘such papers to the com- mittee in which such claims are pending. The report was agreed to. ‘THE WASHINGTON SUBURBAN RAILROAD COMPANY. Among bills that were introduced and referred were the following: By Mr. Harris—To incorpo- rate the Washington Suburban Railroad Company of the District of Columbia, OTHER BILLS INTRODUCED. By Mr. Teller—To provide for the cotnage of halt dollars, quarter doliars and dimes. By Mr. Hampton—To publish for the use of the army Prof. Gieason’s book on the great art of training and educating horses, + By Mr. George—To protect innocent purchasers: of patented artitles, making It a valid defense against actions for infringement, that the arucle Was bought for use or consumption, not for sale, aod iv good faith and in the usual course of trade; and providing tuat all patents shail be stfject to purchase by the Governmeat for general use at reasonable valuation, ‘Mr, Platt moved that the last bill be rererred to ‘the comunittce on patents, which had heretoiore had the subject under consideration, not to the Judiciary cominittee as proposed by its author, ‘After debate the motion to refer to the committee (on patents was agreed to—yeas, 40; nays, 25, r. Chandler offered a resolution authorizing the select committee oa Indian traders (authorized ou 3d June, 1886) Lo continue ils investigation. Re- ferred. MR. MORRILL'S MOMIGRATION BILL ‘The Senate then took up the bill, introduced by Mr. Morrill, to regulate immigration, and was ad- dressed by that Senator in explanation and ad- Vocacy of the bill, Its main object, he said, was to have the character of foreign unmigrants examined first’ by United Siates consuls at the ports of departure instead of by State com- missiouers at tue pors of arrival, The foreign idea, be said, was that the United States invited free’ iagmigration regardiess of Le character of ‘the imunigrants; bus Lue American idea was that ivnever really offered an asylum to convicts, to irseconcileable enemies of law and order, or to tue Occupants of the Old Worid’s insane asylums and workhouses. ‘The doors were left open only to per- ‘sons of guod moral character. ‘The fact that nearly 5,000,000 imunigrants had come to this country Within the las. 10 years proved that te question was one of very great tmportance. The great American principle of free admission of ttnmi- grants was not proposed to be abandoned; but that principle had a.ways Deen on the condition Una the liniuigrants shouid be of good morai char- acter, and shouid be able to suppo.t themselves, ‘THE CHAMPION SLUGGER. He referred to the fact that recently the mayor of the Athens of America presided at a banquet given in honor of the champion slugger of the prize ring, and hat, if not the will, at least the po. tical necessi tes of the mayor, had consented to chat.
