THE Foreign Contract Labor bill, which
passed the Senate yesterday afternoon, was
amended so that 1t makes the prohibition
Of the importation of such labor more radi-
cal and comprehensive than did the House
bill. But the amendments are not such
that there is much danger of the House re.
fusing TO accept them if tho bill can be
brought before it before adjournment. The
bill imposes penalties upon all who may bo
enRagedin such work.
1t would have been hardly possible to
have put together bill that is stronger
than this one. Even the master of YES
sci bringing over contract aliens is subject
TO fine and imprisonment. The act does
not, however, prohibit aliens temporarily in
the United States from engaging aliens as
secretaries or servants, nor prevent the
importation of skilled workmen for any
new industry not at present established in
the United States, if such skilled labor can
not otherwise be obtained.
The act does not apply to actors, artists,
lecturers or singers, nor to persons en-
plOyed strictly as personal or domestic
servants nor is it to be construed as pro-
hibiting any individual from assisting any
member of his family or any relative or
personal friend to migrate to this country
for the purpose of settling here. The bill
goes back to the House for concurrence in
tho Senate amendments.

The silver question has loomod up as
the first important bone of contention be-
tween tho Democratic factions. Some
points in relation to it may be regarded as
definitely settled. Mr.. Cleveland unques-
tionably believes with most fnanciers of
the Eastern and Middle States that the
silver coinage, on the present basis, is in
expedient and dangerous, and should not
be allowed to continue. Mr.. Cleveland un-
doubtedly asked that the suspension of the
silver coinage be left to the discretion of
the incoming administration, Perhaps his
strongest desire in the matter was that this
action should be taken by the consent of
all factions of his party, with the under
standing that he would consider the ques.
tion maturely and take no action until all
arguments pro and con had been heard.
This desire was defeated by the fact that
the silver men learned that 1t would be ex-
ceedingy difficult to convince Mr.. Cleve-
land that the silver coinage should not be
stopped.
Mr.. Clevelands desire to have the mat

Tho opera of "Falkan by the McCaull
Opera Company is the attraction offered st
Albaugh's Grand Opera House next week,
and promises to prove one of the most
memorable musical events of the season.
The sale of seats commenced to-day aud in
dicated large audiences Throughout tho
week. "Falkan has been declared by tho
press Of New York aud other cities to be Il
most pronounced and complete success mu-
sically, artistically and dramatically. The
opera ir musically one Of tho brightest, and
the libretto unquestionably has more whole
some merit than is usual with comic opera.
Unlike most operas OF its kind, 'Falkap
has a plot which is intelligently conceived
and clearly defined. The action of 'Falka"
is such that if presented as legitimate
comedy the libretto would bo deemed mor-

Miss Kate Fields Mormon Monster

Now that Lent has dawned upon the
Christian world it is fitting that society
should turn Its attention TO matters of mo-
ment, and certainly no problem appeals so
directly to humane women aud patriotic
men as that which Congress has been trying
to settle in Utah for the last twenty-three
years. Finding herself accidentally among
the Latter Day Saints, Miss Field became
so interested in her surroundings as, against
her interests to remain many months and
drink deep of the Mormon spring.
To-day the Gentiles of Utah, from the
Governor down, consider Kate Field the
best informed person on "tho peculiar in
stitution" outside of the Mormon Church,
and look TO her as their orator. That she
has fulfilled their expectations, the newly
aroused interest In "the twin relic testi-
fies. Miss Field will, on Thursday even
ing, February 49, at the Church of Our
Father, tell the story of her life in polyga-
nous hierarchy. All Washington should
listen.
Reserved seats will be for sale at Ellis
music store, 937 Pennsylvania avenue, and
Thompson's drug store, No. 703 Fifteenth
street northwest.

A Protest Agninst Ihe B1asons.

The Congressional Commission having
charge of arrangements for the dedication
of the Washington Monument have re-
ceived printed protest, claiming to be
signed by $4,000 Names against allowing
Masonic societies to participate in the cere-
monies. The petition sets forth that the
Masons are no more entitled TO such dis
tiDction than the Hibernians or any other
secret order. They say the stone sent by
the Pope for the Monument was broken up
and thrown into the Potomac. Aud they
ask why Catholics are snubbed and the
Freemasons honored,

Mr. Oehiitree aud MIR. Alexander.

In the House yesterday afternoon Mr..
HOLMAN offered, by request, an amendment
TO the River and Harbor bill in regard to
the Galveston harbor, which Mr.. 0chiltree
of Texas did'n like. He inquired of Mr..
Holman the Dame Of the author OF the
amendment. Mr.. Holman said that it was
r. r. Alexander. "a man." said Mr..
0chiltree, "who has left the State of Texas
for the States good"
Mr.. Alexander was in the gallery at
the time and heard Colonel Ochitrees re-
mark.
Meeting him in the corridor shortly al
terwaTd he asked Mr.. Ochitree about it,
and, according to Mr.. Ochiltree, threatened
him. Mr.. Ochiltree had Capitol police
man arrest Mr., Alexander but afterward,
he says, told tho policeman to release the
arrested man, the latter having apologized.
In tho House afterwards Mr.. Ochiltree
arose to aprivileged question and told about
the episode, wanting to know If Member
could be thus threatened,
He created good deal of confusion and
much laughter. The House did not regard
it privileged question. When Mr.. Ochi.
tree boldly announced that he could take
care of himself there were applause and
laughter. Mr.. Oehiltree says Mr.. Alexan-
der is one of lobby that is trying to defeat
the appropriation for the improvement of
Galveston HarbOr.
