Aats and Plumes.
[coPYRICHT, 1861

The June weddings are over
and as there is nothing now to hold
people in their town houses, the COM
ing week will see the descent upon New
port, not fully populated as yet, of one
horde of fashionables from the teeming
town and another returning hot-foot
from Europe. "And like two streams
that meet and pour each through each
till, core in core, single self reposes,"
they will with one voice demand:
What are they going to wear this sum-
mer?" and what are they going to do
this summer"
Celebrate the glorious Fourth-that's
one thing-on the iucus a non lucendo
principle, by running away from it;
nay, by remaining shut within protest
ing doors even as one would do at home;
for the eXcursionists will be here in
force and aristrocratic Newport will, as
it does on Sundays, ,mutely rebel against
their presence by seclusion. And, as
on Sundays, the watering carts will
take a rest and let the dust of Bellevue
settle unreproved on the gay costumes
of the invaders.
Until that day, golf and bicycling.
Newport tried to frown on bicycling, of
course, because it is so popular. But
the seductive wheel won and now any
day you may see the heiresses of mil
lions in public sight on Bellevue

man, teaching them the wheel. Any
day but Sunday or holiday. The just
at-present most famous duchess in
England learned the cyclists art in
just that way. Newport can be very
unconventional, when it is quite sure
the wrong people aren't around.

WASHINGTON, June %. State depart
ment officials are satisfied that the let
ser alleged to have been received by a
relative of Gen. Fitzhugh Lee from the
latter, containing severe reflections on
the Spanish methods in Cuba and pub
lished in several newspapers, is fake,
pure and simple. The relative in ques.
tion denies absolutely that he received
such a letter and also says that he has
not been in correspondence with the
consul general for several months If
the Spanish government makes any in
quiry about the matter it would be
positive evidence that no such letter
was written by Gen. Lee.

A Monster Ratification Meeting Held In

ent.
CANTON, O., Juno 29.-The nomina-
tion of Mckinley was ratified with
pomp and ceremony Saturday after
noon. The outpouring of people from
Cleveland and other cities of Ohio
was very large. The people began
coming into the city at an early hour
in the morning. All day long crowds
hung about the Mckinley residence
and lively stream of callers poured
in at the gate. The speaking in the
afternoon was from stand erected at
one end Of large vacant lot. The
meeting was presided over by Judge
w. R. Day, of Canton, who made a
pleasant speech and introduced Presi-
dent Wolcott, of the Tippecanoe club
Of Cleveland, who made an address
and was followed by Gen. c. H. Gros-
venor.
Hon. James H. Hoyt, of Cleveland,
followed Gen. Grosvenor. His speeeh
was humorous and was heartily ap-
plauded. Mr.. Charles Emory Smith
was heartily greeted when the chair
man introduced him as the friend OF
Blaine, Garfield, Harrison and MsKin-
ley.
A glee club sang campaign song
and before the song was finished Maj
Mckinley came upon the platform. In
n moment there was an THIRST Of q ~
plause and cheering. When he rose to
speak the noise was deafening.
The evening parade which Maj. Nc
Kinley reviewed was elaborate and
closed the ratification demonstration.

DIR. SENNER on THE IMMIGRATION BILL

The bill amending the immigration laws which
passed by the House in the last session OF
Congress and the substitute which was passed
Thursday by the Senate have been carefully consd-
cred by DR.. Senner, Of the immigration Bureau of
NewYork. who suggested several changes In the
clauses Of the original bill. The Senate substitute
excludes from this country besides those persons
kept out under existing laws. all persons more
than sixteen years old who cannot read write
some language with the exception Of the wife.
child. parent grandparent of admissible i'm
migrant The chief amendment of the substitute
Is the clause relating to Cuban refugees. who
exempted from the exclusion act.
DIR. Senner thinks that the bill as passed by the
House inasmuch as H. exempts women from the
reading and writing test, Is better. for the eason
that this country Is in need Of domestic servants
and by the provisions OF the Senate substitute many
such prospective servants will be debarred from
entering. He also said that the passage Of the
Senate substitute would mean the exclusion OF
about twentyeight thousand persons yearly
and above those excluded under existing laws. This
is about 10 per cent Of the yearly number OF immi-
grants to this country. Included In this twenty
eight thousand would be about eleven thousand
Italians. also about 10 per cent OF all Italians
ing over here.
