Special 70 THE MORNING CALL

WAsHINGtoy. Jan. Representative
Stump Of Maryland. Chairman OF the Com
mittee on Immigration and Naturalization,
is preparing Chinese bill, which he will
introduce In a few days, to take the place
of the Scott law, which expires soon. Mr..
Stump's bill is good deal like Morrow's
anti-ChInese bill of the last Congress. One
change provides that every Chinaman in
this country must have on his person and
shall produce 4 certificate Of naturalization,
or shall not be allowed TO purchase trans
poTtati0n or entry by any steamboat, sail
boat or car, or other carriage for travelling.
He shall be required to show his certificate
whenever called upon so to do by the
officers Of the law. Stump is Chair
man OF the committee, and this bill
should receive more than passing
notice, as it is likely TO be reported
fayorabiy by the committee, and if so pass
the House. Senator Chandler is chairman
Of the Senate Committee on immigration
and he and Stump are intimate friends. 1t
is believed that Representative Stump and
Senator Chandler have agreed to report the
bill outlined above in the House and Senate
respectively. II so, it is very likely to be-
come a law. Mr.. W. T. Owen, COmmis-
siOuer Of Immigration under the Treasury
Department, Is also an intimate friend OF
Stump's, and he, too, it Is believed, has had
a part in the framing Of the bill. 1t will
be remembered that Mr.. Stump was one OF
the committee that visited the Pacific Coast
last year, taking evidence at many points.

derson resolution providing for an inyest-
cation into the management Of the Worlds
Fair at Chicago. In view of the fact that

$4,000 600 in aid of the exposition. it is de-

ton. Spauiding made a comparison be-
tween the current fiscal year and the fiscal
