IN SENATE AND HOUSE.
Preliminary Skirmlsh Over the Federal
Elections Bil in tho House.


Elections Bil in tho House.
WASHINGTON, Sept. 15-The first skir-
mish over the federal elections repeal bill
took place in the house yesterday, and al
though the casualties were few, it was
manifested that both sides were in earnest
and that the regular battle will be se-
we're one
The Republicans opened their batteries
by declining to allow the ''easns bellir to
be even reported to the house Under the
generalship of Mr.. Burrows the Ropubli-
cans resorted to filibustering tactics and
for the day had the best of the skirlnish,
as they prevented the reporting OF the
measure, and the house adjourned with
out action. But before this was done tho
Democrats adopted resolution revoking
all leaves of absence except those granted
on account of sickness. Over this resolution
there was very brief but very spicy dis
cussion, in the course OF which Mr.. Nc
MILAN Cfenn.) vigorously declared that
the federal elections bill would be reported
If it took the whole congress to do SO.
The great event of yesterdays session of
the senate was the delivery of speech by
Mr.. Daniel tya.) against the passage of tho
repeal bill. 1t occupied four hours and
five minutes and was listened to through
out with an interest which did not seem to
diminish from exordium to peroration.

WASHINGTON, Sept. 15.-Colcnel Stump,
superintendent of immigration, has rem
dered a decision in which he CONSTITUTES the
immigrant law In connection with degrees
of relationship. The case in point is that
OF Vito Bochiccio, of Naples, Italy, whom
he orders excluded as having come here
under contract. Bochiccio had brother
living In New Jersey, who sent him his
passage money and told him il he came
here he could secure him work, giving him
the name of the person for whom he was
to work and the amount he was to receive
Such action, the decision holds, might be
permissible of n head of family, anxious
to keep his family together, but was NOT
30 under the law in the case of brother
or in relatives of lesser degree.
