THE IMMIGRATION INQUIRY,

The Committee of the United States
Senate Decides Upon Proposition
for the Consideration of Congress.
NEW YORK, Nov. 29.-The senate COM
mittee on immigration today considered
the following propositions:
"All immigration except from the north
and south American countries ehall be
suspended for one year from March 1,
1893, the law to be 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 1t is probable that one may be taken
to -morrow, and there is good reason for be-
lieving it will be passed. The resolution
was suggested by the apprehended danger
of the coming of cholera next summer.
The committee decided that 1t was advis-
able to submit to congress for consider
alton, law embracing the following pro-
positions:
1. No immigrant shall be admitted to
the United States between the ages of
twelve and fifty five years unless he can
read and write freely and easily his native
language, nor shall person above fifty
five be admitted who cannot read or write,
except as a member of family coming.
9. No immigrant shall be admitted unless
he possesses 800 in money or its equiva-
lent, except that the head of family may
bring with or send for the other members
of his family if he or they possess $25 for
each member.
g. All intending immigrants shall bring
with them certificates from United States
consuls abroad showing that they have
satisfied such consul that they have a
right to admission as immigrants.
4, ALI persons seeking final naturaliza-
ton papers shall give seasonable notice to
the court to which they intend to apply
and some official representing the govern
other side when the application is con-
sidered.
WASHINGTON, Nov. 29.-Acting Secre-
tary Spaulding to-day made a further
modification of the regulations governing
admission of immigrants. It is based on
report by Surgeon General Wyman of
the marine hospital to the effect that it is
safe to relax somewhat during the winter
months the existing stringent precautions
against the introduction of cholera.
Under the new arrangement all vessels
from foreign ports, regardless of whether
they carry immigrants, will be allowed to
pIoCccu do 1dE dS Guo lOCdL 4udIduIluo Bud
tions at Philadelphia and Baltimore with
at the Delaware breakwster and Cape
Charles. This privilege has heretofore
been confined to ships having no immi-
grants on board.
