WASHINGTON, Dec. 13.-[Special. Friends
of the election bill are making a desperate
effort to effect compromise before the
caucus Monday. night. One plan is to
amend the bill to make its application uni
versal without petitions from voters and to
take ont the bayonet clause. 10 satisfy the
silver men they are ready to offer anything
short Of absolute free coinage, but they
cannot insure recognition for it in the
house. The silver men can get rs much or
more for themselves from the senate than
the leaders are willing to grant them. They
propose, therefore, to 90 ahead with their
plans. Conservative republican senators
are Of the opinion that the elections bill
will be laid aside Tuesday and some fnan-
cial measure, perhaps the Plumb bill, taken

IMMIGRATION. NATURALIZATION,
Among the Few Subjects Of Legislation
This Session.

Among the Few Subjects Of Legislation
This Session.
WASHINGTON, Dec. 13.-[Special. ]-Of the
few topics that will be taken up this sea-
son that of immigration and naturalization
contract labor bill with it's numerous OBJ
noxious clauses will not be revived. 1t is
doubtful whether it would pass the house
again this session. And the senate would
surely not entertain it after giving it such
black eye as it received last summer. Two
bills have been introduced this session, one,
known as the Owen bill, coming from the
house committee on immigration, and the
other. the Lodge bill. which is sup
posed to be the work of Mr.,
Carroll d. Wright, commissioner of
labor. Tee Owen bill provides that the
steamship companies shall be responsible
for the character of the emiQrants that they
bring into the United States. It prohibits
their receiving on board their vessels for
transportation to this country any alien
who is an idiot, insane, pauper liable to
become public charge, or who has been
convicted of felony, polygamist, an an
archiss or nihilist, any person afflicted
with loathsome or contagious disease, or
who has entered into any contract, ex-
pressed, implied, oral or written, to per-
form labor for any firm or corporation in
the United States.
The Lodge bill is quite as strict in its
classification of emigrants, but provides for
consular supervision. Under its provisions
foreigners who desire to come to this coun-
try to live and become citizens must apply
three months before embarkation to some
consul or diplomat of the United States for
certificate setting forth that the applicant
to whom it was issued is not obnoxious in
any respect under the immigration laws of
the United States. Il also provides that
the immigrant must prove that he received
no assistance to enable him to come to this
country, and that he is self-supportinp.
The most important clause in the bill and
the one over which there will be the sharp
est contest in congress, provides that the
consular certificate must also show that the
holder, If over twelve years of age, can, to
the personal knowledge of the consul or di-
piomatic representative signing such certi-
fcate, both read and write his or
her native language, or can read the
constitution Of the United States either in
English or in the native language of the
said holder of such certificate. This is a
federal settlement of the issue which was
raised during the past summer in Wiscon-
sin, Michigan and Illinois, and over which
such fierce contest ragged between the pol
1tic'ans and the Lutheran and Catholic
clergy. who believed their parochial schools
were in danger of determination. The
Lodge bill has already been very favorably
received and especially this feature of it.
It is not improbable that this education
clause will be incorporated in the Owen bill

WASHINGTON, Dec. 13.--[Special. The APP
portionment question is to be the chief bone
of contention, after the election Law, this
winter. The Dunnell bill has already been
abandoned and several new bills prepared
providing for various ratios of represents
tion. Census Superintendent Porter, at
Mr.. DunnelPs request, has prepared table
of forty-fve ratios. The highest is lS6, Alb,
which keeps the house at its present size.
332; the lowest ratio is 1850 which would
produce house with 375 members. Be-
tween these extremes somewhere the new
apportionment will be found, probably at
3h6. The fact is easily apparent that the
higher the ratio and the smaller the house
the greater the advantage to the republican
party. With house of 833 members the
democratic and republican gains respect
lively would be as follows:

Parnell spoke but briefly, showing signs of
great fatigue and his voice being 80 hoarse

now abandoned the proposed visit to Linn

thing had been arranged for his visit.

SUMMERroN, June 30.-We are hav-
ing the hottest weather for June I
have ever felt. The mercury has
reached 95 nearly every day for the
last week. While we are not suffer
ing much for rain the scorching sun
is injuring the crops, which in this
section are not as good as they were
last year.
Several from this part of the county
attended the campaign meeting in
Columbia last Tuesday.
There will be an excursion on the
C. S. & N. Railroad to Sumter on the
9th. Round trip tickets from this
place IS cents. No doubt a great
many will attend the meeting in Sum-
ter on that day.
The game of base ball on last Fri
day evening between the Foreston
and Summerton clubs was 19 to 6 in
favor Of the Foreston club. Our boys
played well, but they were over.
matched in the Foreston club. Ed
says our boys were ratified on the first
two innings, and reckon it was so,
| for the Foreston club made 13 scores
to whitewashes. [ would say just
here for the benefit of the Foreston
boys that our boys are not satisfied,
and they will have to play them again.
The ice cream festival given by the
ladies of the Methodist church was a
success. It was attended by the
largest crowd have seen in Summer
ton for some time. There were par
ties from Sumter, Fulton, Pamela,
Packsville, Silver, st. Paul, Davis,
Foreston, and the surrounding coun-
try, and all seemed to enjoy them
selves. 1t was given for needed re-
pairs on the parsonage, and the
amount raised was $66.55.
Children's Day in the Metho-
dist church on Sunday afternoon was
a very pleasant affair, and attended
by a large audience. Rev. II. NJ.
Mood, pastor OF the church, conducted
the exercises. Miss Matte Dingle
led the children in the music, which
was very good for the short time they
had to practice. The speeches, dia-
logues, and recitations were well de-
livered by the children. The follow
ing program, which was interspersed
with beautiful songs, was admirably
carried out:
