on immigration, reported bill from that
committee for the restriction of immigration.
The bill provides for the exclusion of all
persons who are so ignorant az TO be unable
to read and write any language. enator
Lodge presented written report on the bill,
In which he says; "'rhis measure, II adopt
ed.will exclude large portion of the present
immigration and with a few exceptions will
tell exclusively on the most undesirable
portions OF immigration alone. No meas ure
can be- devised which will let In absolutely
everyone who ought to come in and exclude
every immigrant who ought TO be shut out,
but the percentage of desirable immigrants
who would be excluded by this bill would be
reduced to the minimum"
The committee also says that there can be
no doubt that there Is a general and very
earnest desire among the people OF the
United States to restrict immigration. at
is obvious that immigration In its present
unrestricted form," the report continues.
threatens to injure the quality Of our citi-
zenship and lower the rates of American
wages"
The committee say that all that has hither-
to been done to improve and restrict immi-
grafton has been beneficial, but that 1t has
not been sufficient TO reach the Objectionable
classes.

learned that our missionaries were giving

of taxes, and from this cause, the letter
states, many are still starving and dying.

The Populist Senators have now decided
that when the motion is renewed for the con-

vote in the an lrmative. If they adhere to
this decision they will be able to turn the re-
suit from the negative to the affirmative side
OF the scale, and thus secure the considera-
