WASHINGTON, Aran 20.
To-day, the House of Representatives passed by
99 votes against 5, a bill introduced by Mr. B;mks
relative to the naturalisation of immigrants to the
United States.

This bill enacts that any declaration or
decision of officers of the United States govern-
ment which questions the right of expa-
triation is null and void ; that all natu-
ralised citizens of the United States, while
in foreign countries, shall be entitled to the same
protection as is now accorded to native-born
citizens, and that when any citizen of the
United States is arrested by any foreign
government, and his release delayed or
refused upon the allegation that naturalisation
does not dissolve his allegiance to his native
sovereign, the President shall be empowered to
order the arrest of any subject of such foreign go-
vernment who may be found within the jurisdic-
tion of the United States.
