WASHINGTON, Feb. g. The conferees
on the immigration bill, which was re
committed 20 them, have reached a second
agreement. The requirement in the first re-
port that immigrants shall read the Eng
lish language or the language of their ma
tive or resident country is changed so as
to require them only to read the English
language or some other language. This
section was also amended so as to admit
the illiterate wives and minor children Of
immigrants who are otherwise qualified
and capable. Section 9, which authorizes
immigration officers to take into custody
immigrants who obtain admission to the
country. by fraud or deception, was strick
en- out to meet the objection that 1t con-
tanned matter which had not been acted
upon by either house of congress.
Senator Lodge, manager Of the bill on
the part Of the senate, says that he thinks
that it will now pass without any serious
opposition, as changes have been made to
meet most Of the material objections. Sen
ator Hill, who was one of the critics Of the
original report, says that he will now sup

WASHINGTON, Feb. 6.--The Republican
members Of the ways and means commit
tee have completed the schedule of wood
and manufactures OF wood and decided to
restore the Mckinley rates practically in
full, with the important exception OF
white pine IN response to the general de-
mand of the representatives Of the lumber
interests, who complained that the Cana
dians were capturing the American mar
kets for white pine, this wood was raised
to its old rate in the act of 1888, which is
81 per / 900 feet sawed. The manufactures
of pine clapboards and shingles are raised
correspondingly, so that all forms Of pine
will pay the same duties as spruce. Pine
was dutiable at 81 under the law Of 1883,
but when the Mckinley bill was framed
the rate was reduced to 81, so that in the
new bill it will pay twice the rates Of the
Mckinley act The Wilson act placed lum-
ber and nearly all forms of wood on the

pay One-half cent a cubic foot; sawed
boards, plank, deals and other lumber of
hemlock, white wood, sycamore and bass
wood, 81 per 1000 feet board measure,
and other sawed lumber 81 per 200 feet.
Lumber planed OF finished will pay 30
cents per 1000 feet in addition for each
side planed or finished and 80 cents more
per ZOO feet when tongued and grooved.
Cedar posts ties, telegraph and tele-
phone poles paid 20 Per cent ad valorem

Chairman Jones of the Democratic ma.

Republican tariff bill in the senate by fac

protective features of the bill will be stated
and argument offered with reference there
to, but no attempt win be made accord
ing to Mr. Jones' to defeat or embarrass
the bill by long drawn out debates though,
according TO his view, the bill will have
to take its chances as party measure.

Commissioner OF Immigration Preparing
to Prevent sniterate Italians Landing.
NEw YORK, Feb 6.-The country is
threatened within the next few weeks with
a food of immigrants such us has not oc-
curred for years
Such is the belief Of DR.. Scnner Of the
bureau of immigration, and he is prepar-

try before June l as possible. lie has
therefore given special instructions 70 the
board of inquiry 60 exercise extraordinary
scrutiny of all immigrants for the purpose
OF keeping as many out as possible under
the existing laws and regulations.
Commissioner Senner looks TO Italy as
the point from which the largest invasion
of undesirable immigrants may be expect
ud. The now bill provides for the exclu-
sion from admission to the United States
of all aliens more than l6 years Of ago
who cannot read and write the language
of their native country or some other Ian
gualce.
information has reached the commits
siOncr that the bill is being used as an ar
gument by ticket sellers on the other side
TO induce people to hurry over here while
they have the chance. He IS especially
looking out for the arrival of the steamer
Oregon Of the new Atlantic line. She Is "A
vessel of but p 313 tons capable ordinarily
Of carrying but few hundred steerage
passengers.
