was to have been arrested, charged with
illegal registration by the Democrats, but
later it was discovered that many of those
registered were Democrats, and others
were likely to vote the Democratic ticket.
Haskins defends his action by an ordin-
ance authorizing registration at any hour
of the day. The Democrats may threaten
to prosecute on an ordinance authorizing
registration during usual hours only.

NATURALIZATION OF ALIENS.

The Movement by Congress to REM
edy Existing Evils.
WASHINGTON March 4.-Representative
Oates Of Alabama to-day submitted to the
House the report the judiciary comnlttee
authorized him to prepare TO accompany
the bill to change the naturalization laws
in many particulars and make naturaiza-
ton matter purely judicial in
its nature, to oe tried like
suit In court. Tho report says In
part: THE loose manner Ia which
aliens have been naturalized In many places
of late years has been most shameful and in
utter disregard OF the requirements Of our
laws, although they are entirely too liberal
and inefficient In their provisions. The
naturalization of aliens, recently arrived
from abroad and knowing nothing OF our
institutions and government, jus6 before
elections with a view to making voters has
been reSorted to in several localities.
UNBLUsHING VIOLATIONS.
''In states where only declaration Of an
intention TO become citizen is the essential
qualification of an alien TO make him a
voter. the greatest and most unblushing
violations of the spirit Of the law have been
perpetrated. just before elections
are held, when there Is a great
uralization. backed by the different po-
litical parties judges give some personal
attention to these matters, but usually the
clerk adjudges the man to be a citizen of
the United States. No attempt is made to
ascertain whether witnesses brought for
ward are worthy or unworthy Of credit.
RIDICULOUS FARCE.
"What O ridiculous farce" exclaims the
report calling attention to the statement of
one clerk, that any two witnesses were
generally accepted as competent and
creditable to the number of ten
cases, but that he drew the line
on witnesses after more than ten applicants
mad been put through. The making
of citizens. says the report, which
should be a grave judicial proceed
ing, is left by the courts to
its mere ministerial officers, who run.the
machine merely for the fees they can make
out of IL. IL the making Of citizens of this
great country is OF no greater moment, why
not abolish it altogether and extend citizen
ship to all who come hereg

INTERSTATE ooMMERoG.
Proposed New Provisions OF the Law
on the Subject.

WASHINGTON, March 14.-A compre>
hensive bill will soon be reported to the
House from the committee on interstate
and foreign commerce to amend the inter-
state commerce law. A subcommittee, Of
which Representative Rayner Of Maryland
is chairman. is at work upon the bill intro
duced last week by Representative Storer
of Cincinnati to carry out the reccgnmerda-
tion of the National Board of Trade. Repre-
sentative Storer prepared his dill after con-
sultation with Senator Cullom and Judge
Ven9ey, OF the interstate commerce COM
mission, and embodied several new sueges-
tions beside those made by the board of
trade. Mr.. Storer explains that the changes
In regard TO procedure under the law are
intended to accomplish the following three
things:
/. To make railroad corporations indict-
able for violations of the law as well as their
officers and servants
2. To make copies of the schedules fled
with the commission primafacie evidence
in hearings before the commission and In
the courts.
8. To make the testimony tnken before
the interstate commerce commission of the
same force in courts as testimony taken
before a master In chancery, aud on the
condition that it is to be taken upon legal
notice duly served upon the parties, and
with right Of oross-examination
ANOTHER NEW PROVISION.
Another new provision of tho bill makes
II mandatory upon the interstate COM
merce commission TO investigate
any complaint forwarded by
the railroad commissioner Of a
state at the request of such commissioner,
and authorizes the commission 10 institute
an inquiry on its own motion when 1t sees
fit. The bill of Mr.. Stcrer, as introduced
into the House, re-enaots that part Of sec.
tion 10 which makes IL an offense for a
shipper to accept discriminating rates from
a corporation.
Congressman Lind Of Minnesota has In
troduced another bill simply re-enacting
section 10 with this portion left off.
Bis purpose is to obviate the difficulty
caused by the recent decision OF the supreme
court in the Counselman case that witness
cannot be compelled to testify where the
evidence may be used for Information by
the district attorney in obtaining other evil
dence against him, or in any other way to
his injury. Mr. Lind's idea is to make the
acceptance Of rebates no offensa 80 as to
leave the shipper free to testify and the
courts free to compel him to testify against
the guilty granter of rebates. Mr.. Storer
Is inclined to favor this change, and it will
probably be Incorporated in the bill as re-
ported to the House.

The sixteenth item says: This defendant
denies that under it's charter 1t has no power
% lease its property to the Georgia Pacific
Railway Company or any other railroad
but ayers that said lease is entirely legal
and entirely within the power of said cor
Poration to make, and does not violate
either the public policy of the state Of
Georgia or the law OF its execution
The seventeenth item denies that any OF
the property Of the Central has been di-
verted from its use to the use OF other lines
OF railway of the lessee company. Itdenies
that its engines are being used on other lines
OF railway, IL denies that the lessee COM
pany is neglecting repairs on the roadbed
OF its lines, but that the lines, as a general
thing, have been improved and are now ia
as good condition as when turned over TO
the lessee. The latter part of the item says
that the action OF the Central directors with
regard TO the claim OF the lessee company
for SS4O,OO0 is a complete answer to the
avermant of the bill as 70 the fears that
the bill will be paid.
The eighteenth item denies that the Rich
mond and West Point Terminal Railway
and Warehouse Company Is insolvent, or
that the Richmond and Danvils Is insolv-
ent.
A FORMER LEASE.
The twenty-first itera brings the attention
or the court to the fact that long before any
OF the corporations named in the bill owned
or possessed any of the stock of the Central
Railroad and Banking Company of Geor-
gia, that William NJ Wadley, its then
president, leased the road to the Nashville,
Chattanooga and st. Louis Railway Com
pany at an annual rental Of per cent, and
this lease was then regarded by all the
stockholders OF the Central as one of
great advantage to the corporation; (;
that the Nashville, Chattano ooga and
st. Louis failed to confirm the lease, and
therefore the laAse was not oonsummated as
hoped. "And this lease,n says the answer
''was made by the said William NJ Wadley
before the Central railroad system was
burdened with the Port Royal and Augusta
railway and the Port Royal and Western
Carolina railway, both Of which are utterly
unpro6table; the interest of this defendant
In the former company having been pur-
chased during the administration Of william
M. Wadley, and it's interest in the latter
having been purchased during the i'd
ministration OF w. q. Raoul"
In conclusion the answer reiterates the
assertion that the lease should not be set
aside, that there is no necessity for re-
ceiver should il be set aside, nor any rea-
son why the operation Of tue railway and
steamship lines should be taken away from
the Richmond and Danville Company pond
