ITERATION BILL SENT BACH
Measure viii Have to he Materials
Amended.

Washington, Feb. 6.--The immigration
bill was recommitted to the conference
committee by the senate. The motion to
recommit was made by Senator Lodge, the
chief advocate of the bill, who had learned
that the president would veto the measure
if passed In it's present form. The chance
or immigration legislation at this session
of congress are nov seriously lessened.
Unless the conference speedily eliminate
the Objectionable features OF the bill and
report Ii in acceptable form It will fail OF
passage.
1t has developed that the senate will not
agree to the clause which would separate
families, nor to the clause which would
prevent laborers living IN Canada from
crossing temporarily into the United
States TO work. Senator Carter OF 4
tana, I'm a reference to this clause, I'm the
senate today, said that a undred Amer
lean miners cross into British Columbia 10
work where one Canadian laboder comes
into this country. The chief basis Of OBJ
lection TO the work of the conference com
mittee was that it had injected entirely
new legislation into the bill, thus exercis-
ing a privilege which belongs to congress
alone. The committee changed the bill
so as to exclude all persons unable to read
and write the English language or the
language OF their native or resident coun-
try" whereas the bill as sent to the con-
ferees excluded all persons unable to read
and write 1.-The language OF their native
country or some other language"
The change i'm phraseology is more i'm
portant han il appears on it's face. In the
form as reported by the conference COM
mittee the bill would exclude Russian
Jews, for instance, who live in Russia, but
who, through their adherence OF that
country, speak the German tongue. Ger
man IL not English, nor is it the language
OF their native or resident country" In
the original bill the Russian Jews speak
ing the English language could enter the
United States, n IL is considered to be
very desirable that they should enter.

and is located just above the ear on the

to the hospital from the village Of Rom
dell, about four and a half years ago.

When first brought to the attention of

The cause of the bone disease that is

Bradstreet's Review.

New York, Feb. 6.-Bradstreet's says
today:
General trade which was retarded by
~unfavorable weather a week ago, has
recovered somewhat at Chattanooga,
Memphis, Birmingham and New Or
leans. While cold weather cut into
stocks and heavy goods IL delayed the
sale of spring goods. Other relatively
favorable trade reports are from ST.
Paul Chicago, Minneapolis and st.
Louis. AT most centers jobbers report
business quiet or unchanged, with no
prospect Of immediate improvement.
The restriction OF the production of
cotton goods has not strengthened the
market or advanced the prices yet. The
heavy increase in sales OF wool-40, 0OO,-
900 pounds--at Boston alone since jan
nary ], against 1000. 900 pounds last
year Is based largely on the expectation
Of a higher duty on wool.
One of the most unsatisfactory indus
trial features is the lack of demand for
Iron and steel, prices Of which in the
central western states nave gotten be-
low nominal quotations. Exports of
wheat (1our ~included) from both coasts
