SusPENDINe IMMIGRATION.

A Proposition From the Senate Committee
to Suspend Immigration For One Year.
New YORK, Nov. 30.-The senate
committee on immigration met here
Yesterday with six of its members in
attendance. Previous to adjourning
the committee considered the following
proposition, without however, reach
ing any conclusions:
All immigration except from the
North and South American countries
shall be suspended for one year from
March !, 1893, the law to be SO framed
as not to hinder the free return OF
American citizens or the easy admission
of visitors. No vote was taken on this
resolution. but it is probable that one
may be taken ut to-day's meeting and
there is reason for believing that it will
be passed.
The committee also decided that It
was advisable to submit to congress for
consideration law embracing the fol-
lowing propositions:
No immigrant shall be admitted to
the United States between the age OF
IL and IS years unless he can read and
write freely and easily his native Ian
guage, nor shall person above IS be
admitted who cannot read or write ex-
cept as member of family coming.
No immigrants shall be admitted UNI
less he possess 500 in money or its
equivalent except that the head of a
family may bring with him or send for
the other members of his family II he
or they possess SIS for each member.
All intending immigrants shall bring
with them certificates from United
States consuls abroad showing that
they have satisfied such consul that
they have right to gain such adInis'
sion as immigrants.
All persons seeking final naturaliza-
ton papers shall give reasonable notice
to the court to whom they intend to
apply and some official representing
the government shall investigate the
facts upon the other side when the ap-
plication is offered.

THE HITCH IN WYOMING.

Republicans Claim . Majority on Joint
Ballot which their OppOnerts VIII Per.
haps Overcome.
CHEYENNE, Wyo, Nov. 9o.-The final
eount of the Carbon county vote makes
the legislature republican on joint bal
lot, which will insure the election Of .
republican TO the senate.
It is said. however, that the demo-
Gratis aud populists, who have control
of the lower house, will unseat num-
Der of the republicans elected before
consenting to meet in joint session, so
as to elect democratic or populist SEN
ator.
There Is also hitch regarding Dr.
0sborne's taking his place as governor,
for which there Is no provision under
the state constitution. 1t is likely that
the matter will have to be settled by
the courts, IL the legislature does not
pass q bill providing for the difficulty.

Mr.. Carnegie Interviewed.

LONDON, July 2G-The representa-
tive Of the Associated press yesterday
drove from Kingrussie to Bannoch
Lodge on Loeb Bannoch Scotland, the
residence of Andrew Carnegie, and
made repeated efforts to obtain "a
statement from him Of his views re-
garding the troubles at Homestead,
Pa, and more especially concern
ing the shooting of ii. G. Frick,
chairman Of the Carnegie steel com
pany, but in vain. This morning, how
ever, he was finally admitted to Mr..
Carnegies presence and said: 'In view
of the events of Saturday last, have
come to ask again for an expression of
your opinion of the outcome of the
Homestead troubles"
At first Mr.. Carnegie positively re-
fused to discuss any phase of the
situation, but after persistent in
terrogation by his caller finally said:
"Well, authorize you TO make the
following statement: | have not at
tended TO business for the past three
years, but have implicit confidence
in those who are managing the mills.
Further than that ] have nothing TO
say"
1t is known that Carnegie daily re-
ceives many cable dispatches giving
fullest particulars Of Frick's condition.
1t is very evident that he has no in
tention of returning TO America al the
present time.

Homestead men have apparently
abandoned all cndcavors to bring the
paddock workers out on strike.
After four days OF PROSECUTING the
leaders are somewhat discouraged and
say that the BraddocIl men seem de-
termincd to continue at work notwith-
standing the combined pressure OF
other Carnegie operatives A member
of the advisory committee said to-
day that he had been informed by sev.
eral Amagamatcd men who had gone
among the Braddock men that they
had not forgotten the fruitcss up
peals for assistance made to Home
stead in 1857, and were disinclincd TO
strike for sympathy. Several of the
locked out men, although aware that
the leaders have given up the hope Of
strike at the Edgar Thompson plant,
are still hopefdl.
The withdrawal of soldiers from
Homestead has commenced, en-
thusiastic cheering among the white
tents on Shanty hill proclaiming the
fact to the strikers in their homes at
the foot of the slope The soldiers
who were the first TO get marching

the troops will gradually be removed
until only two regiments remain.
These two regiments will be held
