FOREIGN IMMIGRANTS.
Enormous Increase in the Number Arriv-

Washington, April Immigration of
ficials are somewhat disturbed at the
present enormous increase in immigra-
grafton. During February the number
of arrivals at New York aggregated H.
S22, an increase OF about 65 per cent over
the arrivals during February, 1895.

Island last Monday night, which taxed
the Accommodations to the utmost. The
class now coming to this country Is said
to be altogether undesirable, even while
entitled to admission under a strict con-
struction of the immigration laws. 1t is
said ut the department that if the immi-
grafton bureau was fully equipped with
the powers asked for in the report of the
immigration commission to the secretary
of the treasury, and now before congress,
it would feel equal to the present condi,
ton of affairs, but it is not unlikely that
additional legislation on the subject may
be further urged.

THE INDIAN BILL.

Washington, April 2.-The senate COM
mittee on appropriations today COM
pleted the consideration of the Indian
appropriation bill This bill has been
before the committee since February 20.
The delay was occasioned by the COM
mittee's inability to reach conclusion
as to the proper course to be pursued
in the treatment of sectarian schools for
the education of Indian children.
The house inserted a provision that
none of the money, appropriated for
schools should be used in the support of
sectarian schools, but provided for APP
preparations for the school at Hampton
Roads, Va, and for Lincoln institution
at Philadelphia. The senate committee
did not amend the house provision de-
claring against sectarian schools, but
struck out the appropriations for the
Philadelphia and Hampton Roads
schools, the former amounting to 500, 600
and the latter to $4,000. The senate
committee also increased the apppropria-
ton for the purchase or lease of school
property to the extent of 100000, max
ing the total appropriation for this pur-
pose $4,000.
The purpose of this increase is to sup
ply means with which to purchase the
property of sectarian institutions devoted
to the education of Indians. The appro-
priation for the support of day and indus
trial schools was also increased to the
extent of 100000, making the total for
this purpose 81 ,2S5, 600

STATEHOOD BILLS.

- $500
Washington, April 2.-TOday's meet
ing of the house committee on Territories
was devoted to discussion of the Arizona
and New Mexico statehood bills and the
committee failed to arrive at voting
stage.
Delegates Murphy and CatrOn asserted
that opponents of statehood in the COM
mittee were doing the talking merely
as tlibustering move and consequently
the meeting was a rather warm one.
The two delegates eXerted their endeav-
ors to induce the committee to vote and
refused to be drawn into the debate, al
though the opponents of statehood asked
them many questions. To prevent the
consumption of time, the delegates de-
clined to answer most of the questions,
taking the ground that the matter had
been thoroughly discussed already. The
only test vote was that on the consider
alton of the bills and it was carried by
six to five. Those voting for consider
alton were: Perkins Rep) of Iowa,
Lefevre Rep) of New York, Avery
Rep) of Michigan, Harris Rep) of
Ohio, Turner Dem.) of Virginia. Cooper
Dem.) of Texas.
Against consideration: Knox Rep.)
of Massachusetts,, Taft Rep) of Ohio
Low (Rep) of New York, Harrison
Dem.) of Alabama, Owens Dem.) of
Kentucky.
Mr.. Taft, during the discussion, de-
clared that congress could not blind its
eyes to the fact that admission of the
two Territories would add four votes
for free silver to the senate. He argued
that it was not fair that the existing
status of the Union should be changed
in the midst of great controversy like
the financial question; that the ques-
ton should be settled by the Union as
it now stands and that sound money"
should not be handicapped by new sill
yer States. He also charged that %
per cent of the inhabitants of Arizona
and 80 per cent of those of New Mex
leo are illiterates.
Mr.. Owens of Kentucky said that Ter
ritories whose area was greater than
that of New England and population less
than that required for a congressional
district were unfit for statehood. He
also attacked the system of representa-
ton proposed for the constitutional con-
vention of Arizona as partisan device
for furthering Republican interest.
Mr.. Avery held that the only questions
to be considered were the qualifications
of the Territories for statehood and Mr..
Harris argued that the silver question
should not be brought into the cOntro-
verSy.

NICARAGUAN CANAL.
Captain Taylor Before the Committee in
Advocacy of Practcabiity.

Washington, April 1.-The Nicaraguan
canal project was discussed today before
the house committee on commerce by
Captain III. ID. Taylor of the navy, the
president of the war college at Newport,
X. l.. who was formerly vice president
and general manager of the company. The
practcability of the canal he said, was
no longer n doubt, the only question be-
ing the cost, the estimate of which rang
ed from $50, 100000 to SSI, 100000. The
most interesting feature of Captain Tay-
lor's remarks was as to the effect of the
canal upon the naval establishment of
this government. Captain Taylor said
in a preparatory remark he gave his
views on this point with the permission
of Secretary Herbert.
He said in part:
''rhe question is raised in the news
papers of late that the control of this
canal will be exceedingly difficult for this
government to maintain: that foreign
fleets will menace il; that it will really
weaken it, To me this appears like OBJ
lection TO the accumulation of wealth ON
the ground that il would cost too much
to protect it: that a man should not build
n house because he would have to insure
it for fear it might burn down
.sThe fact is" commented Mr. Patter-
son of Tennessee, that while house
might burn down this canal never could
be taken by foreign feet
Captain Taylor replied that he agreed
with Mr.. Patterson and continued that
while it would cost the government some
thing to maintain its control of the
