month. and appeared to be exceedingly pleased at
the result arrived at by certain investigations in

Of the session of the United States Senate commit

democrats and two republicans-to in how far
tho laws Of that state interfere with the franchise
enjoyed by citizens of foreign birth. Charges had
been openly made the hoor Of the Senate that the
Civil Service rules entirely ignored in that
State. and In connection with these charges informs

vote more less from that State might Affect the
