To RESTRICT Immigration.

WASHINGTON, Feb. 81, The immigra-
ton bill. which passed the House on
Wednesday with only forty-one mega
tive votes, to-day passed the Senate by
a practically unanimous vote, and
without any discussion. The bill is
certain of being signed by tho Presi-
dent, having passed with so little OPP
position.
The chief provisions of the bill,
which have already been given in The
Press, 1t Is hoped will put stop to the
importation of contract laborers by
means of advertisements in Europe,
and will also furnish restrictions on
the immigration into the United States
by way OF Canada and Mexico.
In numerous instances heretofore,
immigrants returned to Europe from
the port of New York, came back by
a Canadian line of steamships, and ell
tered the United States through Cana
da, there being norestriction whatever
on immigrants coming In that way.
This provision alone will be of inn
mense advantage In preventing the
paupers and other assisted immigrants
from coming into the United States.
This bill creates the Office of Super
intendent OF immigration in the Treas
ury Department at salary OF "a, 600 q
year. With the exception of that Of
fetal and three3clerks, 1t does not Gre
ate any new Offices, but allows the Sec
rotary of the Treasury, where Marine
Hospital surgeons cannot be obtained
without unreasonable delay, civil sur
geons to inspect immigrants There
are many wise provisions in this act
which will be of great service in keep.
ing out undesirable immigrants and
contract laborers.

The Tarquhar shipping bill that
would have done much to build up the
American Merchant Marine has been
sent TO keep company with much other
needed legislation that should have
been passed by the present Congress.
The Democrats have made it special

would have been of any particular
credit to the Republican party and un-
fortunately they always seemed to
find some Republicans to help them in
their schemes.

The Paris Ballet Agency.

The most curious OF all the agencies
is certainly the ballet girls agency,
Perier's, No. 20 Boulevard St. Denis,
There comes all the dancers ofthe con-
tinent, and thence they are shipped
off all over the world. The ballet is
considered to be in it's decadence; but
that is q great mistake. There have
never been so many dancers as there
are to-day. Perier has 5000 ad-
dresses on his list. The agency is an
odd sight when the engagements are
being made. The rooms themselves
are on the ground floor, three wee
closets into which scarcely q score of
people could be crammed; but the
courtyard is large, and into that
there crowd some sixty or eighty bal
let girls, jolly, noisy creatures, full of
fun and mischief, teasing any unhap-
py man who may fall into their mis-
chievous clutches. They tickle him,
they pull his hat over his eyes, and
generally make his life burden to
him. No one can control the turbu-
lent band but Perier himself, who,
with an 0lympian trown and stern
and resonant cry of "Silence!" con-
trives occasionally to bring the impish
lot into comparative order. Lucy

AGood Story Of General Sheridan.

A Good Story Of General Sheridan.
A good story of General Sheridan is
told here. When Mr.. G. w. Childs ar
ranged for the paintings OF Grant and
Sherman, we'll known woman artist
was selected toput General Sheridan's
features on canvas. She called upon
the great warrior at army headquar-
ters in Washington. "Little Phil"
listened attentively to all she had to
say, and then observed in that drawl-
ing, Slocum like tone: "Now, madam,
have only this to say. Ihave been
painted in oil by a Frenchman, a Ger
man and an Italian. The French art
list has made me a Frenchman, the
German has made me German, the
Italian has made me an Italian. Twill
consent to sit for you only on one
condition"
"What is that, general?" asked the
artist.
"That you will not make me i.
woman"

hall, and of all the portraits there is
manifestly the best and most charac-
teristic.-West Point Letter.

4 The Dalton Boys seen.

GurAR1s Okla, Sept. ss.-It is re.
ported by Ice Whistler, treasurer Of the
Sac and Fox nation, who just arrived
here in company with Joe Springer,
another Indian, that they were passed
on the road sixteen miles east by the
Dalton boys. The leader of the gang
was seen here at O'Clock this after
noon. 1t is feared they are planning to
attack the town. The story of every
arrival from Langston agrees that there
has been no rioting between the negroes
and cowboys. The nearest approach to
i'loodshed occurred when ex-Auditor
McCsble, of Kansas, founder of the
negro colony at LanRston, started for
Guthrie through the Iowa lands.
He was met by three men. who ordered
him to 60 back whence he came. He
desisted and they opened Gre on him.
One shot struck the pommel of his
saddle, and being unarmed, he fled back
to Longston. and from there came to
Guthrie. All arrivals from Longston
confirm the report that two negroes
were killed in the new lands south of
the colony, but no one seems to know
how. ;.

telling, is that far in the interior ex.

peopled by a race similar to the &r-
cient Aztecs, who are sun worshipers
and offer human sacrifices to their
deity.
"The race is said to be in high
state of civilization, and the Indians
say that the city is full of huge struct-
ures which are miracles of quaint but
beautiful architecture, and are situ-
ated on broad, paved streets far sur
passing those OF the city of Mexico.

that he had seen the city and it's in.

True Story Of Reporter Who DidnS
Go Up In Balloon.

True Story Of Reporter Who DidnS
Go Up In Balloon.
III am going up in a balloon" said q
young reporter to a Chicago Tribune
friend.
The old reporter looked pensive, II
heard q man say that at the time OF
the Donaldson ascension in 1876.
He was on the Chicago Tribune and
his name was James Maitland. He is
still living, I believe, and in Chicago,
though in quieter literary paths than
that OF the press. l remember how
sanguine he was that day, but he
found a competitor. The other re-
porter who wanted to go up was
Grimwood of the journal. The
aeronaut couldn't take both, yet
both insisted. 1t was decided that
they should pull straws, and Matt
land got The one to stay on the earth.
You never saw O. more disappointed
man than he for missing the ride to
Elijah. He told me then, and once
OF late years when | met him,
that he belived he had been
juggled out OF that ride to
death. What man knows his luck2
Away sailed the balloon with it's two
occupants; then came the days OF
terrible suspense; the wreck OF the
canvas; the wave-beaten corpse OF one
poor fellow on the shores OF one Of
our lakes-but you look pale"
"Not at all, dear boy-only in a
hurry. By the way, give me a breezy
paragraph if l go the way OF the
Journal man."
And the old reporter promised, but
heard a few hours later with disgust
at the anti-climax, that the bag at
Fifty-second street and Cottage Grove
avenue had not been filled with gas.

Mad Animals in Texas.

FREDERICKSBURG. Tex, Sept. 28.-A
Dig belonging to Mr.. Hynemann, resid
ing near here, recently showed symp
toms of rabies. The animal was chained
up until the disease was fully developed,
when he was shot. In the meantime he
had bitteu hound which had ap.
preached him. This dog also went
mad. Before dying he bit . hog and
the hog also went mad and bit others,
which in turn developed cases Of hydro.
phobia. Every hog on Hynemann's 8
place, 100 in number, is either dead or
fosming at the mouth: and attacking
everything within reach. Several COWS
and two horses have been bitten and are
expected to 60 mad. So far no human
beings have been attacked, but the
neighborhood is terrorized, as some of
the mad swine are ct large. The virus
has now been four times transferred and
is more violent than ever. Ihe out
break has cost Hynemann $1,000. The
original dog went mad from 4 snake
bite. 49,
