WILLETS POINT, N. Y. Dec. 1O.-To
any foreign ships of war contemplating a
voyage into Long Island Sound with hos
tile intent. Uncle Sam might at this time
say, please wait WHILE" 1t has been
discovered that one of the pair of big dis
appearing guns which have just been put
up here will have 10 be taken down and
remounted, which will require several
weeks.
1t has been found that the gun carriage
is not set plumb, and in consequence the
gun cannot be accurately aimed. This
gun was the first one mounted. The
foundation upon which it stands is made
of concrete several feet in depth. The
gun and carriage weigh together over
seventy tons, and it is supposed that the
immense weight caused the foundation to
settle.

At the conclusion of Cullom's speech
Call CD of Florida then took the floor
and spoke on the Cuban question. Calls
joint resolution was at the close of his
speech referred to the Committee on For
eign Relations.
The bill to amend the immigration
laws was then taken up as unfinished
business.
Gibson Cd of Maryland favored the
postponement of the consideration of the
bill rill after the holidays.
Lodge (R.) of Massachusetts, in charge
of the BILL opposed any postponement
Gibson made the formal motion that the
bill be postponed until the first Monday
in January.
The Senate by a-vo.e of 10 ayes and 81
noes resolved to postpone consideration OF
the bill.
The Senate substitute for the House bill
was agreed to and then the substitute was
open for indie pendent amendments.
Sewell (R.) of New Jersey moved to
amend the first paragraph so as to make it
exclude tall persons over IA years of age
who cannot read aud write the language
of their native country, or some other IAN
guage, except that an aged or minor per-
son not so able to read or write, who is
the parent, grandparent, child or wife of
an admissible immigrant. may accom-
pany or be seut by such immigrant"
Vest CD of Missouri protested against
the application of the test of illiteracy to
women and girls. He said that really at
the bottom of whole question was the
restriction of the immigrant votes. He
did not see how the workmanship or
labor of man who could not read or
write debarred the labor or workmanship
of anybody else. But certainly the argu-
ment against illiterate immigration could
not apply to domestic servants.
Lodge replied to Vests comments, and
said the amendment offered by the Sena-
tor from Missouri should not be adopted,
as it takes away from the force and scope
of the bill, none too great.
Chandler (R.) of New Hampshire also
opposed Vests amendment. He reminded

male quartet, again We wreath with low
