The Immigration Question.

THE Senate and House Committees on Immi-
grafton held their first joint meeting to-
day at which Secretary Window and Solicitor
Horsburn, of the Treasury Department, were
present, and the frstnamed gave a statement
of the reasons that induced him to take charge
OF the landing of immigrants at New York.
In the course of this statement it was devel-
oped that the Ford committee of last Con-
gress in their report recommended that the
National Government take charge of this mat
ter. Their reports of the manner in which
operations at Castle Garden were conducted,
and OF the condition OF affairs there the Secre-
tary said also seemed to warrant, If not de-
mand, change. The Secretary was asked why
he had selected Bedloe Island as the landing
place for immigrants under the new arrange
ment. He answered that Governors Island
would have suited him Just as well-in fact,

Tho Pacific Railroad Debt.

THE House Committee on Pacific Railroads
to-day further considered the question as
to whether it should report single bill provid-
ing for settlement of the Government indebt-
edness Of the Union Pacific Railroad and the
Central Pacific Railroad (as was done by the
Senate Committee). or should report separate
bills in the case of each of the companies.
There is a marked difference of opinion in the
committee upon this question; and this morn
ing's discussion did not result in an agreement.
The published statement that the Secretary of
the Treasury has moneys to the credit of the
companies in their first mortgage bonds was
also discussed and the following resolution was
ordered to be presented to the House:
Resolved, That the Secretary of the Treas
ury be requested to inform the House whether
the Government of the United States is. the
owner or holder of any of the first mortgage
securities of any of the Pacific railroad COM
panies which were aided Dy the Government;
and if so the amount of such securities held or
owned by the Government; when and in what
manner and by what authority the same were
acquired. President Charles Francis Adams,
of the Union Pacific Railroad Company, will
be heard by the committee next week upon the
pending Union Pacific bill.

THE TARIFF ON WOOL.
A Document Issued by the Officers of the
Ohio Association-They Are Satisfied
With the Mckinley Schedule,

Ohio Association-They Are Satisfied
With the Mckinley Schedule.
WIAsHINGToN, March 13.-David Harpster,
President of the Ohio Wool Growers As
sociation, and Judge William Lawrence, a
member of the same association, have prepared
for publication the following statement, ex-
planatory of the wool schedule in the tariff bill.
now under consideration by the House Com
mittee on Ways and Means:
I'VE have examined for the first time to-day
schedule K. providing duties on wool and man
ufactures OF wool, prepared by Hon. William
Mckinley, Chairman of the House Committee
on Ways and Means, and his associates on the
committee, and heretofore agreed to. 1t pro-
poses duty of IL cents per pound on clothing
wool, double on washed and treble on secured;
on combing wool II cents per pound, and
treble on secured wool; unwashed carpet wocls
of tn e value of IL cents or less including
charges at the last port of export, the duty to
be 81 cents and if washed cents, if secured
So cents: on carpet woods valued at over II
cents the duty on unwashed is cents double
If washed and treble if secured. 1t provides
for standard samples to be deposited in the
custom houses, and contains provisions to pre-
vent round lot frauds, sorting Frauds ad-
mixture frauds and defines washed and
secured woods.
Better Than Ever Before.
ga to so-called carpet woods, the proposed
provisions are much better than were
ever incorporated in any tariff law, and these
are the wools that just now are injuring the
wool industry of the United States more than
any other. We learn upon reliable authority
that under the law as it now stands rs per cent
of the carpet woods being imported will make
excellent clothing, such as was used by our
soldiers during the war, and that if shaggy
goods continue to increase in fashion as they
have during the past two years, 75 per cent of
the carpet wools imported will be used for
clothing, and further that if clothing wool can
be imported as carpet wool at 215 cents the
duty OF IL cents on clothing wool will not be
operative; that if the cost of merino is too far
above the cost of carpet woods. manufacturers
will abandon the use of merino wool to some
extent for the cheaper carpet wool, thus bring
ing down the price of meE-no wool.
The farmers of the United States, and the
people generally. whose prosperity is dependent
on the success of our agricultural industries
are to be congratulated on the fact that Major
Mckinley and those cooperating with him on
the Committee of Ways and Means, have pro-
posed measure of such immense value. The
proposed duty is an increase of l cent per
pound on clothing and combing woods over the
present law. The Senate bill which passed
January q, 1889, proposed cents on carpet
wool whether washed or unwashed, but the
rates of the proposed bill of 81 cents on un-
washed with the higher rates on washed and
secured make it much better for wool growers
than the Senate bill.
