The IMMIGRATION QUESTION.
The Senate Committee Likely TO RECON-
mend It's snspension for a Year.

The Senate Committee Likely TO RecOm-
mend It's Suspension for Il Year.
New York, Dec. l.-Previous to ad-
journment TOR the day the senate immi-
grafton committee considered the fol-
lowing proposition without, however,
reaching any conclusion:
All immigration except from the
North and South American countries
shall be suspended for one year from
March /, 1898, the law to be so framed
as not to hinder the free return of
American citizens OF the easy admission
of visitors. No vote was taken on this
resolution, but it is probable that one
may be taken at the next meeting, and
be passed. Various suggestions for leg
islation for the restriction of immigra-
ton had been submitted by the chair
man for the consideration of the
committed, which it was decided not to
take up before the meeting of congress,
but it was determined, i'll view of the
greatly apprehended danger of the chol-
era during the summer Of 1898, to limit
the present consideration of the subject
to the question of the total suspension
of immigration for one year. The COM
mittee also decided that it was advisable
to submit to congress for consideration
law embracing the following PROPOSE
tions:
First-No immigrant shall be admit
ted to the United States between the
ages of 10 and 80 years unless he can
read and write freely and easily his ma
tive language, nor shall a person above
SO be admitted who cannot read or
write, except as a member of family
coming.
Second-No immigrant shall be ad-
mitted unless he possesses 500 in money
or its equivalent, except that the head
of family may bring with him or send
for other members of his family if he or
they possess $25 for each member.
Third-All intending immigrants shall
bring with them certificates from
United States consuls abroad showing
that they have satisfied such consul they
have a right to admission as immi-
/ grants.
Fourth-All persons seeking final nat
uralization papers shall give seasonable
notice to the court to which they intend
to apply, and some official representing
the government shall investigate the
facts upon the other side when the ap
plication is considered.

THE PENSION ROLL.

Talk About Its Revision Resumed NJ
Washington.
w AsIIINGToN, Dec. 1.--Commission,
er Raulhs estimate that $lU5, ,000.005'
viii be necessary to pay pensions dur
ing the next fiscal year and the estimate
of the house committee on apMopria-
tions that it will take between $3.50, ,000,-
900 and $500, 900, 600 to meet the pension
requirements for the next fiscal year has
had the effect Of renewing talk about
revising the pension roll in such man
ner as to cut down the total expendi.
lures as much as is possible and not do
any violence TO the pensioners who are
actually in need.
Representative O'Ntill, of Massachu-
setts, who is a member of the sub-com-
mittee of the appropriations committee,
charged with the preparation of the
pension bill. says he has been making a
study of the subject with view to a
sharp revision of the pension list and
collating opinion in congress from which
to make proposition to go into law,
and it is his idea that the pension list
should be brought down so as to
1. Stop the pensions Of all soldiers
widows and orphans who do not actually
need them in order to live. This would
take away the pensions which such men
as ex-Commissioner of Pensions Black,
and w. w. Dudley, General Kohen
Newton, president of the Panama Canal
company General Dan Sickles, and Mrs.
John A. Logan, and tens of thousands
of others are receiving.
2. Stop the pensions of soldiers
widows who married with a view to
finally drawing pensions, having mar
ried since the war.
3. Make pensions uniform for really
uniform claims.
Mr.. O'Neill believes both political
parties are responsible for the failure to
correct pension abuses, but he said that
the time has come when the brave and
honest men in all parties will vie with
each other in taking hold Of pension re
vision vigorously.

The Missouri Free Silver Advocate Sits
Down on the ROthschild
Plan,
And DenOunces 1t as Scheme to
Completely DemOnetize
Silver.
But He Is Confident That Congress
Would Never Ratify Any Such
Measure.

NEW YORK, Dec. IA special to
The Sun from Washington says Repre-
sentative Bland denounces the Roths-
child proposition as villainous scheme
to demonitize silver. Mr.. Bland is the
chairman of the house committe on
coinage, weights and measures. He
characterized Rothschild's plan as an
insult to the friends of silver all over
the world. He contends that silver is
now worth ~ pence, and to reduce its
price to 43 pence simply means the de-
monitization of all the silver money in
the world. The entire silver currency
now amounts to $4OO, 900, 900, and Roths-
child's scheme would demonitize $780,
100000 Mr.. Bland says the adoption
of this plan would mean the loss Of
800, 900, 900 of United States silver cur
rency, and Mr.. Bland cannot believe
that the United States commissioners
will ever agree to it. 1t is the boldest
scheme for the contraction and demoni-
tization of silver ever proposed, he says,
and is nothing less than the first step
toward an endeavor on the part of the
gold barons to stop all use of silver as
currency. He does not believe the
Rothschild plan will be adopted by the
conference, but if it should he feels con-
fident that the decision would never be
ratified by the congress of the United
Gtataa
