TO LESSEN IMMIGRATION
Senate Committee Reports Favor
ably an Educational Test.
Slips With Sentences in AI1Languae ees
TO Be Prepared and Foreigners
May Take Their Choice.

In lieu of the various bills before it re-
striciing immigration, the Senate Immigra-
ton Committee yesterday reported bill
adding TO the classes OF the ahens excluded
from admission to the United States:
IAN persons over fourteen years of age
who cannot read and write the language of
their native country, except that an aged
parent, not so able to read and write, who
is the parent or 9raGdparent of an admis-
sible immigrant, may accompany or be sent
for by such immigrant. For the purpose OF
testing the ability of the immigrant TO read
and write the inspection officers shall be
furnished with copies of the Constitution of
the United States printed on numbered uni
form pasteboard slips, each coniaining
five lines OF the Constitution printed in
the various languages OF the Immigrants in
doubt, aud in small type.
These slips are to be kept in boxes made
for that purpose aud so constructed as to
| conceal the slips from view, each box TO
! contain slips OF but one language, and the
immigrant may designate the language in
which he prefers the test shall be made
Each immigra mt shall be required TO dra w
one of said slips from the box and read, and
afterward write out, in full view of the i'm
migration officers, the five lines printed
thereon.
Each slip shall be returned TO the box
Immediately after the test is finished, and
the contents of the box shall be shaken up
by an inspection officer before another
| drawing is made. No Immigrant failing TO
read aud write out the slip thus drawn by
him shall be admitted, but lie shall be re-
turned TO the country from which he came
at the expense of the steamship or railroad
which brought him, as now provided by
law.
THE inspection officers shall keep in
each box at all times full number of
said printed slips, and in the case of each
excluded immigrant shall keep a certified
memorandum of the number OF the slip
which the said immigrant fafTed 70 fead OF
