AWVashington, Feb. 18.—The immigra- tip bill now goes to the president, the Last legislative step having been taken in the senate by an agreement to the conference report on the bill. Strong opposition was made to the report, but on the final report the friends of the measure rallied a small majority, the vote beify 34 to 31. The bill as passed extends the immigration restrictions against “all persons physically capable and over 16 years of age who cannot read and write the English language or some other language, but a person who is not able to read and write who is over 50 years of age and is the parent or grandparent of a qualified immigrant over twenty-one years of age and capable of supporting such parent or grandparent, may accompa ny such immigrant, and a wife or minor child not so able to read and write may accompany or be sent for and come to join the husband or par- ents, similarly qualified and capable.” For the pu se of testing the immi- grint’s literacy he is compelled to read and write from twenty to twenty-five words of the United States constitu- tion. Aside from these extensions of the present law the Dill inaugurates a new system of restricting immigration from border countries and designed to apply principally to immigration from Canada. resolution by Mr. Pettigrew was ag to requesting the secretary of state for a copy of any reply that may have been received to the letter of Sec- retary Gresham to Sir Julian Paunce- fote, British ambassador, in January, 1895, calling the attention of the Brit- ish government to the utter failure to protect the fur seals under the award of the Paris court of arbitration. The house after a two-hours’ debate passed a bill of considerable impor- iance to the arid regions of the West.

The conference re- port on the legislative, executive and jud l appropriation bill was adopted. Washington, Feb. 19.—The open ses- sion of the senate session lasted only twenty minutes, during which minor business was transacted, the rest of the day being spent in executive ses- sion. The house, by a vote of 197 to 91, re- versed the finding of a majority of the elections committee and decided the contested election case of N. T. Hop- kins J. M. Kendall, from the Tenth Kentucky district, in favor of the Re- publican contestant. Eleven Repub- licans and three Populists voted with the Democrats against unseating Ken- dall.

The rest of the day was given to the arbitration treaty in executive session. A very spirited debate on the general subject of the payment of claims found to be due against the United States was indulged in by the house during the consideration of the general de- ficiency appropriation bill. Mr. Rich- ardson of Tennessee had called atten- tion to the inconsistency of an item to pay the costs of defending suits and the fact that the bill contained no item to pay the judgments. This furnished Mr. Walker of Massachusetts a text for lively speech against the “nig- dishonest” policy of the government, and a severe arraignment of the committee on rules for the tyranny it was said to exercise over the proceedings of the house. Mr. Grosvenor came to the defense of the committee, warmly declaring that the house had made the rules and should abide by them. Mr. Mabon of Pennsylvania, chairman of the war committee, made the statement house had been frightened by maa” and that the just nting hundreds of millions, quently stated, could be dis- with ten million The con- sideration of the bill was not com- pleted.

Mr. Allison, chairman of the committee on appropriations, ap- pealed to the senate to allow the con- side ion of appropriation bills, and asked Mr. Quay especially to let the commission bill go over. He then asken uranimous consent to take up the Indian appropriation. The senate adjovrned without taking action other than a long debate of the school item. The house resumed consideration of the general ¢ iency bill. A spirited debate occurred on. the pending mo- tion of Mr. Hopkins of linois to strike out the item of $12,000 to pay mem- bers of the Fifty-third congress, the amount withhled from them on ac- count of absence. Mr. Hopkins’ amend- ment was finally agreed to—113 to 55. An amendment offered by W. A. Stone of Pennsylvania to give members whose terms pire at the close of this session $100 for. clerk hire for one month after their retirement was ruled out on a point of order, as was also an amendment by Richardson of Tennes- see for the payment of Southern war claims under the Bowman act amount- &e to 00.000. The item for paying to the Southern Pacific Railroad com- pany a judgment of the court of claims amounting to $1,510,000 being reache Mr. Sayers gave notice of an amend- ment to strike all claims of the bond- aided Pacific and the branches from the bill.

A provision was added declaring it to be the settled policy of the government hereafter to make no appropriations whatever for the sup- port of sectarian schools. The Indian bill is still under consideration. A veto from President Cleveland on a private pension bill. brought out sharp criti- cism from Mr. Gallinger against the president’s course. Mr. Allison warned the senate that hard work would be required to get through the appropria- tion bills on time, and a resolution for 11 o'clock sessions was adopted, the prospects being that night session will follow. The house passed the general de- ficiency appropriation bill and began the consideration of the last of the money bills, that providing for the naval establishment. A long debate occurred over the propriety of the ap- propriation of $1,310,000 for the South- ern Pacific railroad under the judg- | ment of the court of claims, but the house, by a vote of 138 to 102, refused to strike it out. The members who favored the appropriation for the re- payment to members of the last con- gress of salary withheld from them on account of absence, carried their fight. into the house, but they were beaten—122 to 96. Washington, Feb, 24. — ‘The senate made slow progress on the appropria- tion bills, disposing of only one item of the Indian bill, that directing the opening of the Ucompahgre Indian reservation in Utah. It involved a conflict with the executive branch which has steadily resisted opening these lands on the ground that they contained valuable mineral deposits. Mr. V endeavored to have a royal- ty reserved to the government, but vas defeated in this, and the clause was agreed to after an all-day debate. During the day a resolution by Mr. Mills of Texas was adopted asking the president for information as to the death of Dr. Ruiz at Guanabacoa, Cuba. Mr. Morrill of Vermont an- nounced a Cuban speech on Thursday. The house sent the.naval bill, the last of the appropriation bills, to the senate.

Their knowledge of the Cura- tive Properties of Herbs considered remarkable. A noted Professor, Dr. C. von Spiegel of Saratoga, N. Y., credits them with many remedies used by him in efieet- ing difficult cures. Useful hints to many who suffer, where they might enjoy tle Indian’s pro- verbial good health and longevity but Yor the prejudive of Ignorance. The once existing idea that no possibie good or knowledge could be obtained from an Indian is fast disappearing. ‘When such a ‘man as Dr. C. von Spiege* ‘ Saratoga Springs, in an article published sx. the daily Saratogian of Sept. 14, states that he is indebted, not only to the North American Indians— Kickapoos, Cheyennes, Arapahoes, Pawnees, Apaches, Kiowas, Com- anches, etc., but to the many socalled uncivil- ized nations of the most remote corners of the globe,— for his enormous collection and the knowledge of their virtues, of roots, herbs_ harks, gums and balsams, by whose use he aas effected the most extraordinary cures in innumerable desperate cases, it would seem | that the world at large should no longer nesitate to look for help from such simple dut potent agencies—no matter their origin —instead of dragging out miserable lives of sickness that is aggravated by poisonous nineral drugs. PROF. CHRISTIAN VON SPIEGEL, M.D. With such words of praise from a man of Dr. von Spiegel’s standing, a regular physi- cian, a graduate and member of several uni- versities, a man who has built up an enviable reputation by his many cures, some of which have been almost miraculous, we are doubly oncouraged to call the attention of ees humanity to the merits of our all-powerful specifics, The Kickapoo Indian Remedies.
