TEST OF ILLITERACY Senater Lodge’s Speeeh on the Bill to Restrict Immigration. UNDESIRABLE RACES 10 BE SHUT CUT What Has Happened Within the Last Twenty Years. MUST CLOSE THE GATES Senator Henry Cabot Lodge today deliver- ed a speech ir the Senate on the bill to re- strict immigration. In commencing Mr. Lodge said: ' “Mr. President, this bill is intended to amend the existing law, so as to restrict still further immigration to the United States. Paupers, diseased persons, con- victs and contract laborers are now ex- cluded. By this bill it is proposed to make @ new class of excluded immigrants, and add to those which have just been named the totally ignorant. The bill is of the sim- piest kind. The first section excludes from the country all immigrants who cannot read and write either their own or some other language. The second section mere- ly provides a simple test for determining whether the immigrant can read or write, and is added to the bill so as to define the duties of the immigrant inspectors, and :o assure to ail imigrants alike perfect justice and a fair test of their knowledge. Two Questions Arise. “Two questions arise in connection with this bill. The first is as to the merits of this particular form of restriction; the sec- ond, as to the general policy of restricting immigration at all. I desire to discuss briefly these two questions in the order in which I have stated them. The smaller question, as to the merits of this particular bill, comes first. The existing laws of the United States now exclude, as I have said, certain classes of immigrants who, it is universally agreed, would be most und. sirable additicns to our population. These exclusions have been enforced and the re- sults have been beneficial, but the exclud- ed classes are extremely limited, and do not by any means cover all or even any considerable part of the immigrants whose presence here is undesirable or injurious, nor do they have any adequate effect in properly reducing the great body of 1mmi- gration to this country. There can be no doubf that there is @ very earnest desire on the part of the American people to re- strict further, and much more extensively than has yet been done, foreign imm tion to the United States. The question he- fore the committee was how this could bi be don2; that is, by what method the larg- est number of undesirable immigrants ar the smallest possible number of desirable immigrants could be shut out. Three Methods of Restriction. “Three methods of obtaining this further restriction have been widely discussed of late years, and in various forms have been brought to the attention of Congress. Tie first was the imposition of a capitation tax on all immigrants. There can be no doubt as to the effect of this method if the tax is made sufficiently keavy. But, althouga exclusion by a tax would be thorough, it would be undiscriminating, and your com- mittee did not feel that the time had yet come for its application. The second scheme was to restrict immigration by re- quiring consular certification of immi- grants. Tris plan has been much adyn- cated, and if it were possible to carry it out thoroughly, and to add very largely to the number of our consuls in order to do 80, it would no doubt be effective and ben- eficial. But the committee was satisfied that the consular certification was imprac- ticdble; that the necessary machinery could not be provided; that it would lead to many serious questions with foreign govern- ments, and that it could not be properly and justly enforced. It is not necessary to go further into the details which brought the committee to this conclusion. It is stMfcient to say here that the opin- ion of the committee is shared, they be- lieve, by all experts, judges who have given the most careful attention to the question. The Test of Mliteracy. ‘The third method was te exclude all im- migrants who could neither read nor write, and this was the plan which was adopted by the committee and which is embodied in this bill. In their report the committee has shown by statistics, which have been collected and tabulated with great care, the emigrants who would be effected by this illiteracy test. It is not necessary for me here to do more than summarize the results cf the committee’s investigations, which have been set forth fully in their report. It is found, in the first place, that the illiteracy test will bear most heavily upon the Italians, Russians, Poles, Hun- gariars, Greeks and Asiatics, and very lightly, or not at all, upon the English- speaking emigrants, or Germans, Scandi- navians and Freach. In other words, the races most affected by the illiteracy test are those whose emigration to this coun- try have begun within the last twenty years, and swelled rapidly to enormous proportions, races with which English- speaking people have never hitherto as- similated, and who are most alien to the great body of the people of the United States. On the other hand, - immigrants from the united kingdom, and of those races which are most closely related to the English-speaking people, and who, with the English-speaking people themselves, founded the American colonies and built up the United States, are affected but lit- tle by the proposed test. “These races would not be prevented by this law from coming to this country in practically undiminished numbers. These kindred races also are those who alone go to the western and southern states where immigrants are desired, and take up our unoccupied lands. The races which would suffer most seriously by exclusion under the proposed bill furnish the immigrants who do not go to the west or south, where immigration is needed, but who remain on the Atlantic seaboard, where immigration is not needed, and where their presence is most injurious and undesirable.” Mr. Ledge then gave some interesting Statistics which had been gathered by the committee, proving that the classes now excluded by law, the criminals, the dis- eased,the paupers and the contract laborers, are furnished chiefly by the same races as those most affected by the test of illiteracy. He next presented an elaborate and scholarly review of the formation and de- velopment of the races that were the plo- neer settlers in this country, and of the class of immigrants which had helped to build It up. Result of the Last Twenty Years. He showed that since 1876 Russians, Hungarians, Poles, Bohemians, Italians, Greeks, and even Asiatics, whose immi_ gration to America was almost unknown twenty years ago, have during the last twenty years povred in in steadily increas- ing numbers, until now they nearly equal the immigration of those races kindred in blood or specech, or both, by whom the United States has hitherto been built up and the American people formed. “This momentous fact,” he said. “is the one which confronts us today, and, if con- tinued, it carries with it future conse- quences far deeper than any other event.cf our times.

The lower race will absorb the higher, not the higher the lower, when the two strains approach equality in numbers. In other words, there is a limit to the ca- pacity of any race for assimilating and ele- vating an inferior race, and when you begin to pour in in unlimited numbers people of alien or lower races, of less social efficiency end less moral force, you are running the most frightful risk that any people can run. The lowering of a great race means not only its own decline, but that of human civiliza- tion. The reports of the treasury for the last fifteen years show that the peril is at hand. I trust that the prediction of science is true, and that the unerring instinct of the race will shut the danger out, as it closed the door upon the coming of the Chinese. “Mr. President, more precious even than forces of government are the mortal and moral qualities which make what we call our race. While those stand unimpaired all is safe. When those decline all is imperiled. They are exposed to but a single danger, and that is by changing the quality of our race and citizenship through the wholesale in- fusion of races whose traditions and inher- itances, whose thoughts and whose beliefs are wholly alien to ours, and with whom we have never assimilated or even been as- sociated in the past. The danger has begun. It is small as yet, comparatively speaking, but it is large enough to warn us to act while there is yet time and while it can be done easily and efficiently. There lies the peril at the portals of our lend; there is pressing in the tide of unrestricted immigra- tion. The time has certainly come, if not to stop at least to check, to sift, and to re- strict those immigrants. In_ careless strength, with generous hand, we have kept our gates wide open to all the world. If we do not close them we should at least place sentinels beside them to challenge those who would pass through. The gates which admit men to the United States and to citizenship in the great republic should no longer be left unguarded.” —____+-e+__- Exports and Imports for February. A statement issued by the bureau of statistics shows the exports of domestic merchandise during February last amount- ed to $76,366,185, against $5 944 during February, 1895.

Albert Isaacs and Elmer Ross, thirteen- year-old boys, were playing with a Flobert rifle at Evansville, Ind., Saturday. Isaacs attempted to shoot something from the head of Ross. The bullet from the gun struck the latter in the forehead, penetrat- ing the brain, producing death. ———+e+____ Found Glass in a Finger by X Rays. Marcus Holman, who has been suffering from a badly swollen hand, had Roentgen rays applied by Dr. Wolf and Prof. Robb in Hartford, Conn., yesterday. A piece of glass the size of a pinhead was discovered imbedded in his little finger. The hand was exposed to the rays for seventy-five minutes, and two photographs were secured. Several Baltimoreans are connected with contemplated improvements at Berkeley Springs, W. Va., which, if carried out on the plans projected, will ccst $500,000, DEATH WAS ACCIDENTAL Ooroner Hammett Investigates the Shoot- ing of Wm. Youag, Absolutely No E: dence to Hold George G rdon and He Coroner Hammett made an investigation today into the circumstances of the death of William Young, a seventeen-year-old colored boy, who was shot and instantly killed about 10 o'clock Saturday evening at the home of his aunt, fn Freeman’s alley. Young was formerly in the employ of a local contractor as a driver, but of late had been out of work and had been making his home with his aunt, Sina Schools. She left Fim in the house Saturday evening while she ran across the alley to a little shop to make some purchases. The only other per- son in the room was little cousin, a girl of seven years. The woman was out of the house but a few minutes when the report of a pistol was heard. Hurrying back she found the boy lying in a pool of blood, with a gaping wound in his head. He dicad al- most immediately. The little girl slept peacefully through the tragedy. The circumstances of the affair were clouded in mystery. When the body was discovered a pistol of the old-fashioned ‘pepper box" style was found on the floor beside him. Precinct Detective Barnes made an investigation and concluded that Young was Rilled by the accidental dis- charge of the pistol, which he may have been examining or attempting to load. It Was not known by his relatives that he possessed such a weapon, and the theory was started that he had committed suicide. Yesterday morning the father of the dead boy reported to Lieut. Teeple of the second precinct that a woman had told him that a colored man named George Gordon had a Quarrel with the boy, and had shot him. The father expressed the opinion that some cne had murdered the boy, and that he would not have killed himself. Lieut. Tee- ple at once ordered the arrest of Gordon, and Officer Auldridge was detailed, on ac- count of his knowledge of Freeman's alley and ‘ts inhabitants, to make the arrest. He found Gordon in'a stable, and took him to the second precinct station, where he was locked up on the charge of suspicion. No Eviderice, Gofdon was reledéed."this morning, as there was absolutely,:no evidence to war- rant his being held gonger. The investiga- ton showed that he: was playing a game of cards in a house’ sojtte little distance from the scene of the tragedy at the time when the shootingoceurred, and knew nothing of it until he was told that there Was some excitement, down the alley. This morning Gorden, Moses Young, the dead boy's father, Sina Schools and several other witnesses ‘were gummoned to the sixth precinct station, Where the coroner held an informal investigation. None of them were able to throw ‘any further light on the affair. The ‘boy's! mother is dead, and his father hasmertied again. Willie did not get along very well with his step- mother, and at times appeared to be in low spirits, but there was no reason to believe that he had committed suicide. Consequently, there was nothing for the coroner to do but give a certificate of acci- dental death, and the body was turned over to the father to be taken to Westmoreland county, Va., for interment. ee THE EMPEROR'S AR!

THE WHITE FLAG OF PURITY The Salvation Army Will Con- tinue Its Work. GENERAL BOOTH TALKS A flag and a name have been chosen for the rew Salvation Army. The name is to be “God's American Volunteers” and the flag will be white, to typify the purity of heert and life which should distinguish those who march under that banner. A large blue star of hope will be in the cen- ter, und upon the blue a white cross. In the corner of the standard nearest the flagstaff will appear, on a blue field, the forty-five stars representing the states of the Union. j Above the central star on the flag, which bears the sign of the cross, will appear the motto of the organization, “The Lord My Parner.” Beneath the star will be inscrib- ed the name and number of the post to which the flag belongs, for the new army is to have “posts” Instead of “corps.” “This standard shall be carried by the cclor sergeant at the head of parades, side by side with the national flag—Old Glory,""" says Commander Booth, “and may ‘the Lord Almighty grant that the principles and truths for which it stands and which it symbolizes be preserved among the American people for all time.” New Regulations. In response to a question concerning the eable dispatch sent by his father, General Eooth, ball:ngton Booth replied: ‘We prefer not to enter upon a detailed discussion cf that message at present, but there are two points upon which we will speak explicitly. ‘Mrs. Booth and I never asked or sought to have any exception made in our favor or in our case. Neither did we write to the general requesting remain in America.

Gen, Booth Interviewed. A cablegram says: General Booth, the commander of the Salvation Army, told a representative of the Christian World that he had no alternative but to stand up for discipline, and he could not except a mem- ber of his own family. The existence of the army depended upon the obedience every efficer and soldier owes those over them in the Lord. There had been no unseemly haste, he said, !n dealing with Ballington Booth, and no breaking of faith. The change in the command of the army in the United States was announced tg him in ample time for him to make every arrangement. His resignation has not yet been officially ac- cepted. Gen. Booth further said that he was even now pleading with his son to re- turn to the army. Commissary Railton said that no order had been sent to Herbert Booth to dismiss his Lrother from the command of the army in the United States, or to demand his keys. Ballington Booth had voluntarily cabled that the post he had occupied was vacant. Then instructions were sent to take over the command and receive the keys. Sympathy for Salvationists. The Rev. Hugh Price Hughes writes that the deepest sympathy is felt by the Metho- dists for Gen. Booth and the Salvation Army over the deplorable action of Ballington Booth and his wife. Commissioner Booth-Tucker, who has been appointed to the command of the Salvation Army in the United States, will sail for New York in three weeks. He will be accompa- nied by his wife, who is Gen. Booth’s second daughter. Inquiry at the headquarters of the army elicited the information that there would be no change in the methods of ad- ministration in America. The army will be conducted on the same lines as heretofore. Mr. Booth-Tucker will aim to consolidate the force, and he looks forward with the great- est hope.

It arose through Herr Bebel, one of the socialist leaders, accusing Dr. Carl Peters, the Afri- can explorer, while he was imperial com- missioner to Africa, in 1891, with causing @ negro and negress to be hung without trial because they had taken a fancy to ‘each other, of which Dr, Peters disapproy- ed. The German officer refused to execute the sentence, Nevertheless, the sentence was executed. Dr. Peters proclaimed officially that the negroes were hung as spies. After that the English bishop, Tucker, declined to receive Dr. Peters, saying that he would have nothing to do with a murderer. Dr. Peters thereupon wrote to Bishop Tucker, contending that he was married to the negress according to the ‘African cus- tom, and therefore had a right to put her to death for adultery. Dr. Kayser, director of the colonial de- partment, in reply to Herr Bebel, express- ed doubts whether African travelers could be judged according to European standards, He tried to mollify the house by referring to Hermann Wissman’s spotless character, but although he gave a long explanation to the effect that an investigation had shown that the negroes were guilty of theft and other offenses and that Dr. Peters could not be incriminated, he failed to sat- isfy the house.
