ceedingly low figure, are now Jeing de-
livered at the tate of five thousand tons

down, the tracks will be practically
brand new from Wheeling to Baitl-
more. There are lots Of good rail N the

to the proposed International monetary
conference. Mr.. Hill, of Connecticut
opposed the bill, he said if the bill was
pledged to the ST. Louis platform, il

pledge of a republican convention. This
obligation was upon the incoming pres
ident and congress.

for the ADMISSION of illiterate wives
and children of male immigrants, who
themselves are eligible to admission.

admit any male immigrant, otherwise
qualified, who can read and write Eng
lish or some other language. Sections
relating to the coming of "birds of pas
sage, especially over the Canadian
border, has been changed by making it
unlawful for any alien to come regular

States by land or water, for the purpose
of engaging in any mechanical trade,
manual labor for wages or salary, re-
turning from time to time to a foreign
country: and makes it unlawful too, to
employ them. The secretary of the
treasury, however, may permit aliens
to enter this country for the purpose of
teaching new arts or Industries under
such rules and regulations as he may
provide. The act does not apply to the
