Pe “ ie Been tad ay i \ I onset hes eer ented THE CAPITOL. THE EDUCATIONAL BILL. © Closing the Debate in the Senate. THE MUDD-COMPTON CONTES'’ The Incumbent Defends His Right to a Seat. a THE SENATE, Mr. Cockrell presented the protest of the pork packers’ association of St. Louie against the bill for inspection of meats, declaring the bill to be unnecessary and injurious to the stock-raising and curing mterests—more in- Jurious even than the German and Freach pro- hibition. Mr. Morgan stated that the committee on foreign relations had had a meeting yesterday, at which there had been a presentation of facts and arguments in regard to the bill, and that the subject would have due conbideration, Mr. Sherman also made a statement to the same effect, adding. however, that the signe of the protest were acting under a resey hension of one section of the bill (the first), which was exactly the opposite of what they assumed it to be. They assumed that the bil required an inspection in all cases where the meet had been salted sixty days before ex- portation. That was an entire misapprehen- sion. The protest was referred to the committee on foreign relations, rted and placed on the Among the bills re calendar were the following: Granting right of way to a railroad emerd ‘across the Mille Lac Indian reservation in Wis- consin, Appropriating #50,000 for a abe house and fog signal gt the mouth of Coquille river, Pa- cific ocean, Senate billto place Horatio P, Van Cleve, late major general of volunteers, on the re- tired list as second lieutenant was taken from the calendar and passed. THE EDUCATIONAL BILL. On motion of Mr, Ingalls the educational bill Was taken up (atl o'clock) as the “unfinished business.” Blair resented the motion as an inter- (without reference to himself or any consultation whatever) “by one who was not in charge of the unfinished business.” He said that he “would take notice and govern himself accordingly,” MR, BATE DEFENDS TENNESSEE. Mr. Bate eliuded to some remarks of Mr. Blair (in his opening speech on the bill) that reflected on the state of Tennessee as laggard in regard to her educational interests, and as- serted that Tennessee was not laggard; did not stand in the rear. but ocenpied a place in the front rank, abreast hot only of the times but of her sisters in the Union.” He said that he had listened patiently and politely to the speech for five or six days, bni that he had then grown weary and sought a refuge in the House of Representatives. and that if was then that the remarks to which he took objection were made. His colleague (Mr. Harris) had also retired to the cloak room. ‘That was the explanation of the remarks not being replied to at the time. He went on to refute the statement made by Mr. Blair and to show the liberal pro- vision which the state of Tennessee had made for eommion school education dnd for coileges and univeysitics. In the conrse of his romarks he spoke of the letter of School Snperintendent Moses of North Carolina (on which Mr. Blair had relied for his statement) as untrue and slanderous. Coming to speak of the bill itself he opposed it because it would cause the people to rely on the federal treasury for the support and management of public schools, It wasa dagger behind a smile. a serpent coiled beneath the rose. Mr. Blair rose to close the debate. He apologized to Mr. Ingalls for the heated remark which he had made today when that Senator submitted a motion which was un- usual, but he now understood that that motion had not been made from an unfriendly feeling to him (Mr. Blair) or to the bill, HOUSE. Before the reading of the journal Mr. Outh- waite (Ohio) called attention to the fact that there was no quorum present, The Spenker counted the House and an- nounced that there were but seventy-four members present. A call of the House was ordered. The presence of a quorum having been dis- closed the journal of yesterday's proceedings was read and approved. Mr. Henderson (Iowa) presented a resolution of the general assembly of Towa urging legis- lation against the adulteration of lard. Re- ferred. On motion of Mr. Gear (Iowa) Senate bill was passed (with an amendment striking ont the appropriating clanse) for a public arg at Burlington, Jowa, at a limit of cost 2100,000, On motion of Mr. Maish (Pa.) a bill was pace fora public building at York, Pa., ata umit of cost of #80,000. THE MUDD-COMPTON CONTEST, The House then resumed the consideration of the Mud@-Compton contested election case and was addressed by Mr. Compton, the sitting member, in his own behalf. Before proceeding to discuss the facts of the case he said that he had but one genes make. ‘Hear me for my cause and be silent that you may hear,” “Answer me in your wisdom, but pare hed judgments that you may the better judge. He replied to the speech made yesterday by Mr. Greenhalge (Mass. )—a speech which he be- lieved that that gentleman would live to regret. That gentleman had referred to the riots in Baltimore. Never wasa man justified in seek- ing to arouse visions of the long-gone past or in Spreatig to the prejudices and passions which the memory of the war might inflame, After reviewing the testimony in the case he said in conclusion: I only want to say that I suppose the guillotine is and the ax sharpened. If this is so the victim ix ready, and, while he falle with the hot breath of earnest protest on his lips, he will fall without a quiver. I am made, I hope ed heap of that — = stuff lege —_ co now how to “crook the pregnant hinges o! the knee. That theft map follow fawning.’ [Applause on the cemocratic side. } CANADIAN RECIPROCITY. Representative Hitt to Report a Reso- lution Providing for # Joint Commission. Ata meeting of the House committee on for- eign affairs today a subcommitted reported a substitute for a resolution for reciprocity with Canada, offered by Mr. Hitt of Illinois, Mr, Hitt was directed by the full committee to re- port the substitute to the House. The substitute is as follows: “That when- ever it shall be duly certified to the President of the United States that the govern- ment of the dominion of Canada has declared & desire to enter into such commercial ar- ranigements with the United States as will result in the complete removal of all —_ upon trade between and United States he shall point three commissioners to meet eon who may ited to represent *1 be des goverhent of Canada to consider the best method of ex- tending the trade relations between Canada and United States and to ascertain on THE IMMIGRATION PROBLEM. Hearing Before the Congressional Com- mittees This Morning. REPRESENTATIVES OF THE @ERMAN-AMERICAN SOCIETIES HEARD—EDITOR ROSEWATER AND MESSRS. BARTHOLDT AND WOLF HEARD—THET WANT NO CHANGE IN EXISTING LAWS. A hearing was given this morning by the committees of the House and Senate on immi- gration and naturalization, sitting jointly, to Persons opposed to change in the Jaws on these subjects. Mr. Edward Rosewater, editor of the Omaha Bee, was the first speaker. He said he represented a number of German and other societies in the west and he proposed to tell the committee of the views they held. He reviewed the history of immigration since the Declaration of Independence and stated | that the question naturally followed: “To what extent shall the right of immigratian be ex- tended or abridged by the United States?” THE RATIO OF IMMIGRATION DECREASING. Mr. Rosewater suid that at present the ratio ef immigration to the population is decreasing. In the past thirty-three years 9,639,635 1mmi- grants bad landed at New York. The time had not yet come, he said, when immigration should be restricted. He himself was born in Bohemia, his brothers in America, He was as good as they; the accident of birth in this country did not make them any better than he. | is pride in birthplace. he said, was sur- vival of barbarous fanaticism. THE PAUPER LABORERS OF EUROPE transplanted to America, Mr. Rosewater said, were generally supposed to injure the interests of American laboring people, This, he con- tended, was not the case. When the pauper laborers reach here their condition changes; their wants are larger; and inconsequence they become greater consumers, Native Americans have the heavier largely given over to foreigners kinds of labor, and these immigrants are needed to take their place. There had been a great deal of criticism, Mr. Rosewater said, against the com- ing in of Italians, For one, he had a tender feeling for Italy and Italians.’ Christopher Co- lumbus was am Italian; the people of that na- tionality were cultivated in the arte and sciences hundreds of years before America had been thought of. He believed in THE APPLICATION OF THE GOLDEN RULF in our relations with people of other nations. People who believed there was something wrong with the machinery of governments were classed as socialists, and therefore under the terms of the bills before the committee de- nied admittance to the Cuited States. Bellamy and Henry George were socialists, holding opin- ions radically at variance with the principles of our form of government. The latter thinks and siys that itis not wrong to hold these Opinions, Mr. Rosewater asked what would be the effect upon treaties we have in force now with other countries by a change in our nat- uralization laws, Would it not involve us un- leasantly with the governments of those coun- ries? MR. CHANDLER EXPLAINS THE INTENTION OF THE COMMITTEE. Mr. Rosewater was going on to argue against the termination of immigration of desirable persons, especially Scandinavians, when he was interrupted by Chairman Chandler, who stated that it was not the purpose of any member of the committee, so far as he knew. to pro- pose or favor the passage of any bill that would prevent the immigration of any class of persons likely to prove desirable citizens. He asked Mr. Roswater to state if he was opposed to the regulation of immigration #0 a8 to ex- elude undesirable immigrants or to any change in the immigration laws. THINKS THERE 18 ENOUGH LAW Xow. Mr. Rosewater said he believed that the present laws on the statute-books were sufficient for all practical purposes to keep out un- desirable classes. All that was needed was a more rizid administration of the laws, a closer inspection at the ports of entry. Every class that was songht to be excluded by the bills before the committee was already ex- cluded by existing laws, THE GERMAN-AMERICAN SOCIETY'S PROTEST. Richard Bartholdt, who was chairman of the conference of delegates of German-American societies which met in Washington this week, was the next speaker. He read first the pro- test adopted by that body against the passage of any and ali measures now pending in Con- gress designed tomaterially change the present national laws on immigration and ‘haturaliza- tion. As some of the many reasons the follow- ing are given in the protest: First, These proposed measures are fraught with the ame mischief and create the same spirit which caused the founders of this repub- lic to rise in rebeilion against « British tyrant and to hurl at him the followin; ndictment: “He has endeavored to prevent the population of these states, for that purpose obstructing the laws.for naturalization of foreigners, refus- ing to pass others to encourage their migration hither and raising the conditions of new appro- priations of lands.” Second. The industry, thrift and honest in- telligence of the immigrant have for more than a hundred years past been a chief factor in de- | veloping the mineral, agricultural, commercial | and industrial resources of this country and in ing it to its present proud position among the nations of the world. Third. The patriotic devotion of those who have in the last century emigrated to our land and acquired a right of citizenship among us has been such as to win a proud piace in its history. What right have we to assume that the character of those to come under a contin- ued liberal policy of immigration will be one particle lower than of those who came before? Fourth, The proposed change of the natural- ization laws as embodied in bills now nding in Congress must be_ regarded as un for anda mischievous deviation from the policy first established under Washington's adminis- tration. Not merely should we encourage those who have cast their fortunes among us to scon become loyal members of our body politic, but the very existence of large bodies of unnaturalized residents would seem to constitute a menace to our institutions. Love of a free country can best be bred in men by securing to them the full and early enjoy- ment of its privileges and blessings, Fifth, The scheme proposed of the emigrant inquisition through our consular and govern- ment representatives abroad is impracticable. It will aid the undesirable merely and deter the good. No mere sey government will as- sist in retaining its bad elements and forward- ing the desirab! Besides, a system ot espion- age like this is odious and degrading, inas- ioe ‘a8 it promotes blackmailing and corrup- ion. Sixth. Our existing laws, if rigidly and hon- estly enforced, afford ample protection against all undesirable and criminal immigration; but no such system of laws as now proposed can be enacted without violating the fundamental Principles of our national compact and dark- ening the brightest pages of our national history. MR. BARTHOLDT IN BIS REMARKS, following the protest, argued especially against the consular inspection proposition.

In this feeling all of Europe nervously shares, To still this feeling it re- quired repested pacific utterances on the part of the young emperor and the apparent con- tinuance of Bismarck in his position. But a | The most significant thing was the elevation of Count von Waldersee to a high position in the army and one close to the emperor. The coutinued pacific tone of the new ruler finally enlmed Europe, at least to the belief that war was not immediately inevitable, but at the sume time both Germany and France went on with the perfection of their and the increase of thelr armies, and while talking peace and quietness the young emperor showed his thorough warlike yend-| encies by his intense interest in his immense armies and personal participation in their maneuvers, But from time to time there have several things leaked ent = whick indicate that —_—there would no doubt have been a rupture long be- fore between Emperor William and Bismarck but for two deterent conditions, First, the chancellor regarded himself and was regarded a6 a creator of the empire; second, the burden of the debt of gratitude of the Hobenzollern family to Bismarck rested heavy on the young armament | emperor and he could not afford an issue with the chancellor too soon, as it might place him in an unpleasant position before his subjects.

All Europe Anxious Over Bismarck’s Resignation. Bexurs, March 20.—The National Gazette, re- ferring to Prince Bismarck’s remarks to Signor Boccorda yesterday. one of the Italian dele- gates to the labor conference. that the paths of Italy and Germany wonld be identical in the future, as they had been in the past, says that the observation may confidently be applied to the German foreign policy generally. The appointment of Gen. von Caprivi to succeed Prince Bismarck. the paper says. has nothing ofa threatening character. It calls attention to the fact that the duke of Wellington was at one time prime minister of Great Britain and declares that German — appreciate the than other Germans blessings of peace no in responsible positions. The North German Guette gives prominence to a report that Gen. von Caprivi not ouly suc- ceeds to the chanceilorship but to the presi- dency of the ministry.

Curcaco, March 20.—The Illinois Staats Zi- tung today, commenting on Bismark’s retire- ment, says: Andso it is true, the creator of German unity has stepped into retirement and a general whois not among the heroes of either 1866 or "70 takes the place which for a juarter of a century the iron chancellor filled. Whether Bismarck's successor was | chosen by the young emperor for like qualities to those possessed by the man of biood and iron { | i or because of the absence of those qualities and because of a more obedient nature is a question the Staats Zeitung says Sint ame aiene en shew. We cannot we whether the young emperor desires to emulate Frederick reat, or whether he takes for his Bismarck's resignation: It is not surprising the chancellor tenders his resignation. The supprise is that the emperor i ‘et it was from numerous signs cernible that suc! arrive sooner or later. The example to the emperor's ideal of absolute monarchism.
