At 2 o'clock the calendar was laid aside, and the “unfinished business” taken up, being the Senate bill to provide forthe punishment of violations of treaty rights of aliens. Mr. Dolph, who introduced the bill and who ted it from the committte on foreign relations, made an explanation of it as being very simple in its provisions, merely ing an act whic tutes crime under state statutes a crime when committed against the subject of a foreign country and making it punishable in the United States courts. Mr. Palmer suggested as an objection to the bill that Congress had no to pass a law which would operate dif- Kerentiy in forty-four ‘different districts ofthe same country. Mr. Gray, taking the same view, remarked that it was absurd to suppose that Congress should pase a criminal code that could ‘be’ re- pealed or modified by forty-four different sover- ties. . Dolph replied to this objection and argued that Congress did legislate for diferent: forms of procedure in the Yarious territories. THE HOUSE. ‘The House met at 11 o'clock today with less than seventy-five members in attendance. Prayer was offered by Rev. Frederick Swart- want of Hlinois, Mr. Wateon (Ga.) was present with his little objection, which was directed this time to the request of Mr. Butler (Towa) for the considera- ite ntit @ pension to ex-Senator Geo. W. Jones of Towa. ‘Then Mr. Watson's desire was aatisfied and his resolution requesting the committee on ways and means to report the subtreasury bill was without objection or debate. Me Watson, having achieved his object, with- @rew his objection to the Jones pension bill, and, on motior. of Mr. Henderson (Iowa) ii was taken up and passed. ‘THE SHERMAN STATUE.

He ‘vill be accompanied by Mrs. Blaine and will be absent several days. Mr. Blaine said today that his visit had no particular significance. The announcement of hix intended departure cansed the usual gossip and speculation thie afternoon. The accepted theory among the politicians is that he is to hold « conference with a number of prominent republicans about the coming reprbbean national convention. Another explanation is thet Mr. Blaine and his wife have a desire to see little Damrosch, their new grandson. and are going to New York for that purpore A -o- “THE IMMIGRATION BILL. Meunbers of the Joint Committee Hope BB WIM Pass This Session. The immigration bill introduced in the House by Representative Stump of Maryland on Sat- urday represents the net outcome of the recent deliberations of the Senate and House commit- tees om immigration in joint session assembled, and is offered to Congress and the public as the only measure which is likely te be successful at this session, and as con- taining the most important features of many other bills which have been engaging the attention of the committees. Chairman Stump of the House committee is hopeful that this composite bill will be passed and become @ law this summer. Its pro ake it obligatory upon cap- tains of immigrant vessels to deliver to che in- spectors of immigration manifests containing full descriptions of immigrants with particulars as to their financial dition, health, social status, dc. lon similar lines to those of the present immigration reguixtions, but is muck more stringent in its provimons ‘and penalties, The joint committees on immigration bave officially pronounced agninst Mr. Holman's m toubolish the bureau of immigra- i t is believed that nothing more will be beard of the matter or at least it will not succeed. The resolutions of the committees on the subject «tate that im their opinion “tit is inexpedient to abolish the office superintendent of immigration,” and that this opinion shall be commanicated at once to the chairman of the committees of tion of the Senate and House.” s -°- The Sherman Statue, In the House today another effort was made to get up the Sherman statue bill, but it again met the objection of Representative Kilgore of Texas, Unanimous consent having failed, the next move probably will be to pase the bill under snepgnsion of rules, and it is quite likely thot this will be one of the meastres proposed next Monday for passage by a two-thirds vote. There was a little race over the honor of ii Representative Bryan of Ne- braska (democrat), as soon as the point of order against the Sherman «tatue amendment to the sundry civil bill was sustained, promptly introduced bile on the subject. ir. Bryan succeeded the next morning in having a+pecial meeting of the military committee called and his bill reported to the House favor- ably.
