TO RESTRICT IMMIGRATION.
A Bill Reported Providing an Educa-
lionaI Qualification.

Washington, Fcb.Is.-Senator Lodge,
chairman Of the Committee on Immi-
grafton, to-day reported bin from
immigration. The bin provides for
the exclusion Of all persons who are
so ignorant as to be unable to read and
write any language.
Senator Lodge presented a written
report ON the bin i'm which he says "the
measure, if adopted, win exclude
large portion Of the present immigra-
tion and with few exceptions will tell
exclusively on the most undesirable
portions of immigration alone. No
measure can be advised which viii let
in absolutely every one who ought to
come in and exclude every immigrant
who ought to be shut out, but the per-
centage Of desirable immigrants who
would be excluded by this bill would
be reduced to the minimum"
The committee also say that there
can be no doubt that there is a general
and very earnest desire among the peo-
pie of the United States to restrict inn
migation "It is obvious that immigra-
tion in it's present unrestricted form"
the report continues, threatens TO
iniure the quality of our citizenship
and lower the rates of American
wages"
The committee say that all that has
hitherto been done to improve and re-
strict immigration has been beneficial
but that it has not been sufficient to
reach the Objectionable classes,

In Philadelphia.

In Philadelphia.
Philadelphia, Pa, Feb. 18.-Local
elections were held in this State to-day.
Several interesting contests were
~aged in the larger cities, which
elected mayors.
In this city the ticket was headed
by John J., Kinsey and Arthur Riddle,
respectively Republican and Demo
cratic candidates for city solicitor.
Kinsey was elected by a majority that
will probably exceed the Democratic
vote. Campaign was noteworthy for
the especially bitter fights in many of
the wards, due to the factional split
in the Republican ranks, the efforts Of
the municipal league, and here and
there to the activity of the Democrats.
At midnight the returns from the
contested wards in this city indicated
that the municipal league had failed
in it's effort to secure the election to
councils Of refOrmers. The followers
of Senator Quay, who arc known as
auti-combiners, were expected to help
the municipal league in its effort to
| defeat the combine" candidates, but

Never has there been anything sug-
gested that will bring as many people
into Nebraska as the proposed Trans
Mississippi exposition to be held at
Omaha in 1893. Since the government
has recognized the undertaking and
has voted 100000 for its building and
exhibit, it has become an assured fact.
In order to make the exposition a
success in every particular it will be
necessary to keep the people all owe
the country thoroughly posted on it's
possibilities, it's development and pro-
gress. Every citizen of Nebraska
should make it his business to let his
friends in all parts of the country un-
derstand that this enterprise is to be
second only to the great Chicago Col
umbian exposition of 1893.
The Omaha Bee proposes to devote
considerable space from now on to this
great enterprise. knowing that a great
deal of publicity will be necessary to
bring the people here at the right time.
1t has been suggested that a rate be
made for subscriptions to the Bee that
will give everybody an opportunity to
send one or more papers to friends in
other states. Acting on this sugges-
ton the publishers of the Weekly Bee
have decided to make a price of %
cents for that paper, mailed to any adj
dress in the country from the present
time up to January l. 1897. This price
hardly covers the cost of the white pa
per used in printing a twelve-page pa
per for this length of time, but the
publishers feel that the great eXposi-
ton must be properly advertised and
are willing to do their share toward
helping along an enterprise that is
bound to be a great benefit to this
state, as we'll as to the entire western
country. Orders should be addressed
to The Weekly Bee, Omaha, Mel.

CURED on the 10Th and 10th of the pres.
ent month. The Kurds attacked the
Armenian quarter, killed large numbers
Of its inhabitants and pillaged and
burned their houses. Many Armenians
escaped to the mountains.
According to the accounts Of the
Turkish government, 900 Armenians
were killed at Egin and these advices
also state that the outrage was provoked
by the Armenians firing into the Turk
ish quarter. No authentic details of the
massacre have yet been received. The
Armenians Of Egin escaped the massa-
cres Of 1895 by purchasing their security
with money and produce. It is feared
here that the massacre at Egin is a be-
ginning of fresh series of massacres in
Armenia.
