THE IMMIGRATION QUESTION

Last-Unde.irsbIe Immigrants
May Be Kept Out.

WAsHNGT0N. Oct. I3.-The reports
how being prepared by the heads Of
the vari oGs departments of the govern
ment are expected to contain some in
tcresting recommendations to con
gress. From the treasury department
some suRgest.uus on the currency ques-
tiOn are looked for. The postmaster
general, as is we'll known, will make a
feature of postal savings banks From
the war and navy departments there
are expected some interesting data
and recommendations regarding forti-
tications and naval equipment. The
Hawaiian and Cuban questions VIII
probably tigurr u the presidents mes
sage, and from th. department of JUS
tice may come suggestions touching
matters that have been before it this
summer. One 81 the ideas which Sec
retary Wilson. "t the agricultural de-
partment, viii advance in his
report is that Of having agricultural
attaches at nitcd States embassies
and lega tions in Europe. just Il, mill
tary and naval attaches are now de-
tailed to some uf these stations.
Interest in the immigration question
is likely to be greater in the prcscn.
congress than il was in the last. The
recent trouble in the Pcnnsyl yauiu
coal regions have attracted Il great
deal of attention to certain foreign
elements that havr gained entrance To-
this country. The bill which President
Cleveland vetoed just prior to going
out of office will be revived and proOa-
bly, made much stronger. The princi
pal feature of this bill was the educa-
tional test, which il is claimed. would
keep out almost all Of the undesirable
immigrants and not affect more than
five per cent. Of those coming from

Sweden and other European countries

tion Of becoming citizens of the [ nitcd

convinced that the character of thou

out. He is now in a position to ad-
vance his ideas with the probability OF
their receiving attention. and it is like
ly that he will make recommendation
in his report to the secretary of tho

the slab from the tomb. This being
done, the hands were dismissed. Mr.. j.

ket floating. The remains were con

and put under the staircase to the south
of the vcstibule. threw piece of sur

On Monday night about one O'Clock
the following party met for the pur-
pose of burying the remains: Messrs.
