Report on the Bill.

Washington, Jan. H.-By a vote of 131 to
118, the House to-day agreed TO the con-
ference report on the immigration bill,
which embodied substantially a new meas
ure, being different in some respects from
either the Senate or House bill. Speeches
in favor of the report were made by
Messrs. Danford, rep, of Ohio, who pre-
sented 1t from the conferees; c. W. Stone,
rep, of Pennsylvania; johnson, rep, of In

lana.
Chairman Botholdt refused TO sign the
report of the committee recommending the
bill. The principal objection to the bill
was the clause requiring immigrants to
read and write lin the language of their
native or resident country" This it was
pointed out, would prevent several classes
of people in Europe and in Central Amer
lea and Mexico from gaining admission
10 the United States, because they don't
speak either of the languages to which the
clause limits them. 1t was admitted that
the language was intended to prevent the
coming of the great body of Russian Jews
The vote was taken on the adoption of
the conference report, and on a division
it was agreed to--116 to 100. Mr. Bartholdt

Valdosta, Ca, Jan. 26.-The police and
other officers of the law are on the look
out for the murderer of d. C. Booth at

wilful and unprovoked murder and the
brother and friends of the dead man have

and with that clue they began a search

SESSION OF THE SENATORS.
MILITARY ACADEMY APPROPRIA-
TION BILL PASSED.

POpuIist Allen of Nebraska Makes
Some Remarks That Makes the
Senators SmiIe-An Amendment to
Pay the Expenses of the West
Point Cadets at the Inauguration
Rejected-Mr. Villas Moves to Re-
to Committee.
Washington Jan. T-The military
academy appropriation bill was passed in
the Senate to-day, after a long and some.
what amusing controversy over an amend
ment providing for the payment of the
expenses of the attendance of the West
Point Cadets at the Inauguration parade.
The proposition was made the text by Mr.
Allen, pop, of Nebraska, of disserta tion
on the virtues of the old Jeffersonian DEM
ocratic simplicity, of the "dry rot" which
is destroying the American republic as it
destroyed the Roman empire, and of an
attack on Mr.. Gray, dem, of Delaware,
for inconsistency in attending democratic
caucusses, and claiming to be a democrat,
while ito all intents and purposes, he nad
been a republican for the last three or
four years" And there was another dis .
tinguished senator, Mr.. Allen added
pointing to the seat of Mr.. Hill, dem, of
New York, who said that he too, was a
democrat. These remarks. made With all
the seriousness, characteristic of the Ne
braska populist senator, were received
with smiles by the two senators alluded
to, and by the whole Senate
Mr.. Gray contented himself with the
remark that Mr.. Allen was melancholy
example of the effect of populistic notions,
and that he would probably prefer to
have contingent of Coxey's army attend
the Inauguration parade; and MIR. Allen
admitted that that would be little more
relevant
Finally the amendment was rejected:
Yeas, 20; nays, %, and the bill was passed.
1t appropriates $479,572, or 5000 more
than the bill as it passed the House. This
5000 is for the purchase of one Maxim
semi-automatic 5-pounder quick-tiring
gun.
The memorial of Henry A. Dupont of
Delaware in which he asserts that his
claim to a seat in the Senate was de-
feated last session through a miscount
or through a mistake about pairs, was
presented by MIR. Chandler, rep, of New
Hampshire, and was referred to the COM
mittee on privileges and elections
The Nicaraguan canal bill was taken
up. 1t gave rise to quite a spirited de-
bate, in the course of which Mr.. Sherman
suggested, although he would vote for
the bill in any form presented, that it
would be better to let it lie over until
next session. and intimated that he would
favor the negotiation of new treaty on
the lines of the relinghuysen-Zavala
treaty. A motion to recommit the bill
was made by Mr. Villas, DEM, of Wiscon-
sin, and was pending when the Senate,
at 4:45 o'clock, adjourned until to-mor-
row.

DUPONT MAKES a NEW DEMAND.
sennte Asked to Rehear His Claim to
a Sent.

WASHINGTON, Jan. 27.-Col. H. A. Dupont
of Delaware, in connection with his prayer
for the reopening of his claim to a seat in
the Senate to-day, submitted a supple
mentary petition which was referred to
the committee on privileges and elections.
In this new petition, Mr.. Dupont claims
that the refusal to seat him was due to
the wrongful pairing of Senator Jones of
Nevada against Mr.. Dupont, with Senator
Wocott, on a statement made by Senator
Brice that Mr.. Jones had given authority
to pair him against Mr.. Dupont. Mr.. Du-
pont intimates that if the privilege is ac-
corded him he expects to be able to show
that there was no authority for pairing
Senator Jones in opposition to his being
seated; that if this announcement of this
pair had not been made the vote would
have resulted in a tie, which would have
caused the failure of the resolution de-
claring him not entitled to a seat and
would have left the question pending in the
Senate.
AS a necessary consequence, he claims
that the Affirmative resolution reported
from the committee on privileges and cleo
tions is still before the Senate as cues
ton of high constitutional and personal
privilege"
The paper also states that the Wolcott-
Jones pair was not announced from the
clerks desk, and he claims the privilege
of reopening the case on well-establisned
parliamentary practice, that whenever an
erroneous announcement of the record of
a vote is made, the vote becomes nun and
void on discovery of the error
In the petition appear quotations from
the Record, which show that while the
announcement of the pair was made on
the authority of Senator Brice, he, him
self, was not present.
