ing up the immigration bill and partly
perlccting 1t and also hearing the first Of
the speeches on Cuba, those of Mr. Cul-
lom and Mr.. Call. The disposition to put
through the immigration bin was shown
by the defeat of motion by Mr. Gibson Of
Maryland TO postpone the measure until
after the holidays. Only 13 votes. all Dem
ocrats, were given in favor of the post
ponement The proposition served to in
volve Messrs. Chandler, Lodge and Gibson
in several spirited colloquies. The merits
of the immigration question were discuss
ell in a general way on several proposed
amendments, Messrs. Vest and Palmer
suggesting that limits should be placed on
the restrictions, while Messrs. Lodge and
Chandler urged that the restrictions be
sweeping in character. The bill was not
passed up to the time of adiournment
but the senate agreed to what is generally
known as the Lodge bill as a substitute to
the house measure. The substitute re-
quires that all immigrants over the age OF

NICARAGUAN NOTES.
PRESIDENT ZELAYA NOT VERY Sc
CURE IN HIS SEAT.
Revolutionary Movements Exposed Mem.
bers of Constitutional Assembly Have
a Fight-A Fighting Journalist.

Managua, Nicaragua, Sept 1O.-COr-
reSpOndence of The Associated Press.
As cabled today to the Associated
Press exclusively, the plans for anOth-
er revolutionary outbreak against
President Zelaya have been discover
ed. Several suspects were arrested
two nights ago. They are accused
of making preparations to bring about
another uprising against the govern
ment. But the men arrested are not
persons of great influence. In fact,
some of them are suspected of being
spies of the government, and il is add
ed that they will possibly be released
on making accusations against native
Nicaraguans of wealth, so as to fur
nish the authorities with an excuse for
imposing heavy fines on them.
In spite of this, however, there is no
doubt that there exists a strong feel
ing of opposition in certain circles to
the government of President Zelaya.
and that there have been several
movements of importance among his
political opponents and further troub-
lie is apprehended. The presidents
enemies are believed to have planned
some time ago to capture the militia
ry barracks and magazine here and to
overthrow the government. 1t was
further reported that General Antonio
Lara, who fought against President
Zelaya in the recent revolution and
who has been imprisoned here ever
since, declared that he heard incrimin-
ating conversation between some of.
the recently imprisoned suspects.
Two members of the National
constitution amending assembly had
a fight this morning in the as
sembly hail. After a short wordy dis
pute General Aurelius Estrada knock
ed down Assemblyman Senior Bernaby
Majea. This recalls the fact that a
few days ago Mr.. Antonio Bayan, a
European agent of the London bank
Of Central America and consul of the
Argentine Republic here, got into a
fight with Senior Vivas, Fray Joseph"
spirited young writer residing in
Canada. Both men were arrested
but were subsequently released by the
chief of police.

SEALS AT SAN FRANCISCO.

Washington, ID. c., Oct. 3.-Assist-
ant Attorney General Little Of the In
terror department has rendered an
opinion relative to the Seal Rocks ly-
ing off Point Lobas, San Francisco.
In 1887 the government granted the
Rocks to San Francisco for park,
but still retained an interest in the
rocks to the extent of control of the
seals. No provision was made as to
how the seals were to be controlled or
limited Fish Commissioner Price, of
California, complained that the seals
were now so numerous that they are
interfering with the fishing industries
of San Francisco bay and asks the Sec
rotary to destroy all or to limit the
number. Mr.. Little holds that con-
gress having made no provision for
executive control of the Seal Rocks,
it rests entirely with congress as to
what disposition shall be made of the
seals and that legislation will be neces-
sary before any action can be taken.

COM MISSIONER WRENN.
He WAS IN JOLIET. BUT SERVED
HIS TIME.
Wherever he Is he Will Build No More
Livery Stables Adjacent to Resi-
denoe Property.

Chicago, ILL.,. Oct. 3.-EX-COunty
Commissioner Daniel J. Wrenn, died
last night at his home in this city. He
had been i'll for several weeks, suffer
ing from Brights disease complicated
with weakness of the heart.
Wrenn was known for the stormy
days in the history of the county poll
ties in which he figured, and in later
years for his celebrated contests with
property owners in the home districts
over the erection of livery stables up
on street fronts.
His deeds have filed many q column
in the newspapers and few local men
have been more talked of in the height
of their career. 1t was in ward poll
tics that Wrenn tirSt came to public
notice. After yearsNOf hustling at the
down town polls he was nominated
by the Republicans of his ward for
county commissioner. That was in
1894. His two years of public service
We're ill-starred. 1t was this board
which was charged with boodling and
some of its members suffered I'M
pleasant consequences. Commission
er Wrenn was sentenced TO two years
in Joliet, which he served. After re-
firing from public life Wrenn went in
to the carriage business. He came
into newspaper notice again by his
disputes with house holders in fash
ionable residence districts over the
erection of livery stables in close prox-
unity to their front doors. He fig
ured in injunction cases several times,
haaanSa of hiS nanchant
The latest case involved II. Julius
Grinnell. who fought having his prop
erty thus damaged. and this dispute
drew particular flavor from the fact
that the jurist had been the states
attorney who convicted Wrenn at the
ending of the latters public career,
