THE IMMIGRATION PROBLEM.
Representative Stump Thinks He
Has Solved 1t.

WASHINGTON. Dec. 22.-Representa-
tive Stump today presented in the house
a substitute for the house bill relating
to the restriction of immigration. 1t
was accompanied by brief report. as
follows:
''In view of widespread interest Oh
the subject of immigration now pre-
vailing throughout the country, and for
the necessity for imme date legislation
looking to its stringent restriction or
total suspension for limited period,
and the diversity of opinion as to
pension, your committee, thorough
ly impressed with the observance
Of prompt and effective action OH the
part of congress, and governed by what
they believe to be the pre- vailing judg-
ment of the eminent medical gentlemen
whose views they have sought and eb-
tanned. believe that with the safeguards
provided in the measure they report,
the danger SO generally unprecedented
from the introduction OF cholera during
the coming spring and summer will dis
appear, and the necessity for total Sus-
pension of immigration with all its at
tendant Inconvenience and losses, will
be obviated. But in anticipation of the
possible failure Of the restrictive meas
ureS provided i'll the substitute, to eff
fectually guard against the threatened
danger, provision is made for the partial
or total suspension of immigration from
any port or place, whether by water or
land, whenever and for so long as, III
the judgment of the president and sec
rotary Of the treasury, such suspension
may be necessary"
The continued urpVaIpncp of cholera
in Europe eXcites apprehension in adj
ministratiou circles. The hope enter
tanned that the dread disease had been
eXtlrpated is diSSipated in the face OF
reports of new cases and the conviction
is forced upon government officials that,
as predicted by many scientists, the DIS
ease will reappear with increased VIC
lence in the spring. United States Con-
sui Estes at Hamburg, today increased
the uneasiness felt by sending the fol-
lowing cablegram: yesterday two
cases; today four; one DEATH"
Commenting upon this, Assistant Sec
rotary Spaulding said the situation was
far from reaSSurlng and was III effect a
notice that this government must not
let down the bars or relax its eXertions
to keep cholera from gaining footn0ld
in the United States.
Inc JOINT committee on immigration
of the senate and house. not satisfied
with collecting huge volumes Of matter
relating to immigration and preventing
the predicted introduction Of cholera

BONAPARTlSTs ACTIVE.
They Hope to Profit by the Canal
Frauds.

PARIS. Dec. 22.-Today it is the Bona
partlsts that are stepping to the front to
take advantage of the difficulties of the
republic. The activity of the royalists
aroused the jealousy of the imperalist
leaders, and at secret cUnclaYe they
drafted a manifesto addressed to the
people France. urging them to recall
| the house of Bonaparte to the
throne. This manifesto has not yet
! been issued, but awaits the approval
| of Prince Victor, the present rec
ognized head of the eX-imperial family.
| Prince Victor is now in Brussels.
t and The BOnapartist leaders III Paris
| have sent agents to that city to induce
him to sign a manifesto and authorize
| its publication. Prince Victor has been
| living in comparative retirement
recently, but has kept a careful
/ watch upon the course of events,
| and his friends in Paris claim that he
will be found fully equal to any crisis
| that may arise, and, while prudent as
| to taking a decisive step, he will be pos
! tive and courageous in action when
! once the step is taken.
| The mperialists have been canvass
ing earnestly for supporters among the
| deputies, but not with much success.
| They, like the inonarchistS, are being
| carefully watched, and every move
ment is reported to NJ. RibOt and Presi-
| dent CarnOt. The proceedings OF the
| secret conclaye at which tine manifesto
was determined upon were brought TO
! the government almost as soon as the
| conclave had adjourned, and the gov
eminent is already in possession of the
| terms of the manifesto. Not so much
importance is attached by the authOrl-
| ties to BOnopartSt as to mOnarchlSt
agitation. The ancient royal house
| has still a large following in the
provinces, as shown during the
recent visit of the Countess OF Paris to
| France. when hundreds tnrOnged to
| kiss her hand. and she was received at
various places with all the loyalty and
honor that could be shown to a queen.
| This following could easily be aroused
| into a formidable demonstration, that it
would cost much effort TO suppress, and
| the rOgaliStS' cause would receive the
| sympathy OF hundreds or thousands Of
| Windled Panama stockholders, who
| despise what they regard as the bas-
| tard BOnapartism that trades on the
fame of the great Napoleon, and have
| learned to hate the republic, whose
representatives are exposed as parties
to the Panama fraud. The government.
therefore, while keeping a careful out
look on the BOnapartists, considers that
it hes little to fear in that direction.
The European edition of the Herald
publishes letter from Rome showing
the utter failure of the emissaries of
the French royalists to induce the holy
see to alter its present friendly feeling
toward the French republic, feeling
that has characterized the policy OF the
Vatican for the past two years.

Possessed by an Idea That His
Opposition Will Amount

Senator Davis Dilates on the
Prevalence Of the Spirit
Of Gambling.

Special to the Globe.
WASHINGTON. ID. c., Dec. 22.-Sena-
tor Davis left today for his Minnesota
home, accompanied by Frank B. Kel-
lOgg, his partner, and Lawyer John &.
BulIitt Jr. The senator will not return,
he says, until he is reelected. He is
chock-full Of confidence. In fact, he
processes to have not the slightest doubt
of his ability to get reelected with both
hands down. Were he gifted in the
language Of the day, he would say that
he had a cinch GU his seat for at least
SIX years more. He maintains that he
will have not the slightest opposition IN
caucus, and that the Democratic OppO-
sition will not get within tWenty-four
votes of reaching him. To hear the
senator talk one would fancy that he
regards the contest as altogether
too easy. 1t approaches too near
to a push-oVer. His senatorial col
leagues babe him hearty good-by and
loaded him down with good wishes for
success. The senator is popular among
his Republican cOntrereS, although he
does not figure before the public so con-
spicuously as Anti-OptiOn Washburn.
Were it necessary, Senator Davis could
have had the assistance of some of his
colleagues in the pending contest. But
he would not deign 10 accept of any
such offer. All he has to do to get re-
elected, he thinks, is to go out to the
Minnesota Legislature, where the certi-
ticate of reelection will be handed to
him on a silver salver.
There is not much doubt here among
the members of his reelection. At the
same time, other senators have in times
past gonehome on similar errandS feel
ing just as confident as Senator Davis
feels now, and after the fourth Of the
following March they have been seen
no more.

The money, Of course, comes from that

capitalists to furnish the Mesaba
people with 81, 500, 900 to be used for the
bringing of the road to OneOta, and the
building or ore docks. But this IS only
the beginning, as it is said that at least
Sl0,00u, 900 will be spent in the enter
prise of making Duluth great iron and
steel manufacturing center. The Barge
company will carry the MeSaba ore to
Eastern markets, and bring back coal
or coke. Immense steel plants will be
established at Duluth, ana these great
carriers will take, of course, the finished
product.

SECRET SERVICE CHIEF.

for the Place.

New YORK, Dec. 22.-The Evening
Sun of today publishes a story to the
effect that Supt. Byrnes, of the New
York police force. is likely to be APP
pointed chief of the United States Sc
cret service under President Cleveland.
The story goes on to relate that in 1881
Mr. Byrnes was offered the position by
President Cleveland. who had become
impressed by the unobtrusive manner
in which the chief of the New York
detective bureau had conducted the
difficult work of guarding Mr.. Cleveland
from New York to Washington and
through the inaugural ceremonies on
the occasion of Mr.. Cieveland'S asSump-
ton of the Office of chief magistrate.
Mr.. Byrnes at that time had still am
billions to crafty, particularly that of
obtaining for the detective bureau the
reputation of being the best in the
world. and he declined the offer. The
offer, it is said. was recently renewed,
and it is asserted that Mr.. Byrnesis
considering the advisability of accepting
it. The story can neither be confirmed
nor denied at police headquarters.

WAsHBURN DISAPPOINTED
In His Failure to Get Vote on
His Bill.


His Bill.
Special to the Globe.
WASHINGTON, Dec. 22.-The failure
of the senate to take action on the anti
option bill before adjourning today for
the Christmas holidays was a sore dis
appointment to Senator Washhurn.
The senator made up his mind several
days ago that vote would not be
reached, aud he braced himself for the
disappointment. But still he chung to
hope that he might, by some possible
means, secure vote, and until the gavel
fell this afternoon and the vice president
announced that the senate stood ad
journed until Jan. he did not lose his
hold. His face heightened then and he
looked like man who had lost his last
friend but there was no hope for it, and
after a few moments spent in silent
meditation he pulled himself together
and sought comfort IL the reflection that
he would have another chance after
congress reaSSembles. That he will
have another chance is quite true, and
ii he succeeds in getting vote he will
undoubtedly get his bill passed. But
the commercial bodies of the country
are terribly in earnest in their OppUSl-
ton to the measure, and if there is any
way possible to defeat it they will do so.
and, if they succeed, Washburn's
chance for fame will have disappeared
once and for all; for it is generally adj
mittedthat if the bill does not pass this
congress it will never get out OF the
committees OF the fifty-third.
