respect of the taxation OF national banking
associations.
An amicable arrangement was then en-
q, l..
given TO consideration of pension Cases,
after which the bill of Mr.. Hill to pr~veut
the admittance of anarchists should be
considered, but NJ. Allen threw u tempo
rary wet blanket on the arrangement by
insisi ing on the regular order.
The senate finally proceeded to consider
pension Cases.
Among the private bills passed was a
senate bill granting pension of 500 a
month to the widow Of General AOner
Doubleday.
House bill was passed making the city
of OLkland, Cal, a SUPPORT of entry; for
the relief of the estate of Walter >. Nc
Ian; senate bill for the relief of George
II. Pant; house bill for the relief of Brnj.
Alvord and senate resolution for the relief
of w. ID. Mack.
In accordance with the agreement
reached The bill reported yesterday by Mr..
Hill Democrat of New York; providing for
the inspection of Immigrants by United
States cOUsuls and the exclusion of anarch-
lists, WAS taken up.
Mr.. PETER, while unwilling TO raise the
point OF no quorum against the bill,
thought such an important measure
should have full senate, and he therefore
suggested that it go over until Monday
Mr.. Hill, however, asked that it be con-
sidered today, though vo'e need not be
taken on il, and this was agreed. Mr..
Chandler favored the house bill rather
than the senate substitute, because it WAS
simpler and milder aud yet made he ex-
hibitiou of a certificate from a United
States consul by every immigrant OBJ
lgatory. If be h I'D his way he would pass
the house hill today and send IT to the
president for his signature. although it
had arrAyed against il all the steamship
comp tnies CARRYING imm grants, and the
secretaries of state aud treasury as well
as the commissioner of immigration. TIE
house plan, he thought, which provided
for consular certificates, was much To be
preferred TO the senate plan for placing
treasury inspectors on the European docks
10 Inspect intending immigrants.
Moreover, he WAS CONVINCED that such
treasury agents would have no status on
European docks except on the invitation
of the European governments, though
his difficulty might be obyIAted by max
ing hean officials of the state d-par meut.
He thought the other four sections of the
blll against anarchy could b. passed with
out objection aud he suggested that he
four sections providing for the exclusion
of anarchists, but emitting the section
relative to the appointment of Immigrant
inspectors, il drafted into bin, would
pass bo,h houses this session. He ac-
cordingly off red such Il bill a subsii-
TUE and had it 80 over until Monday.
Mr.. Hill, vino had charge OF The b!il, did
not wish TO repiy today, bur reserved his
speech until Monday. AT 2:i5 o'ciOck the
senate went into executive session and
five minutes later adjourned.
