LODGE IMMIGRATION BILL.
Tho Measure Will BE Passed After TIL,
Holiday Recess.

Tho Measure Will BE Passed After the
Holiday Recess.
Washington, Dec. 17.-One Of the first
bills to be passed after the holiday re-
cess will be the Lodge immigration
act. This is practically the same meas
ure which was vetoed by President
Cleveland after the last regular session
of congress. 1t aims in general at the
exclusion of undesirable orientals and
at a more rigid supervision and more
careful selection of the people coming
from European countries.
1t contains an educational test, each
applicant for admission being required
to be able to read in some language a
section Of the American constitution.
Like the present law, it also excludes
oaupers, criminals and diseased people
1t provides also for the exclusion of
Canadians known as birds Of passage
that is, these who work in the United
States and spend their money across
he border. During the last year there
we're fewer immigrants received at our
ports than at any time during the last
eighteen years.

CAGES BILL IN House.
Secretary Before Banking and
Currency Committee.
EXPLAINS OBJECTS OF MEASURE.

The First Is 10 Ciinch the Gold Standard
In Relation To It's Demand Liabilities
The Lodge Immigration BilI-McIxenna
Nominated TAI the supreme Bench-Dawes
for Comptroller of the Currency.
Washington. Dec. 17.-Secretary Gage
appeared before the committee on bank
ing and currency of the house of repre-
sentatives to present a bill embodying
his views for a revision OF the currency,
to explain and urge its provisions. and
to meet any objections raised by the
committee. The secretary was accom-
panied by Judge O'Conneli. solicitor of
bill were handed to members of the
committee and were scanned with great
interest. After being introduced to the
various gentlemen of the committee.
Mr.. Gage began his statement. speaking
in an easy, conversational manner. He
said:
The object l have in mind in the
series of provisions offered by me are
four in number: First, TO commit the
country more thoroughly to the gold
standard; remove, so far as possible,
doubts and fears on that point, and
thus strengthen the credit of the Unit
ed States, both at home and abroad.
To Strengthen the Treasury.
Second, to strengthen the treasury
in relation to its demand liabilities, in
which are included greenbacks. treas
ury notes and the incidental obligation
,otx tak,, ,-,t s,.t1
changeability with gold, so far as may
be necessary, the present large volume
of silver certificates and silver dollars.
Third, to do this in such a way as
not to contract the volume of circula-
ton in the hands of the people
Fourth. to take an initial step toward
a system of bank note issues without
the conditional deposit Of public bonds
as security therefor. If we prosper as
people the revenue of the government
ought to be somewhat in advance of its
expenditures and the public debt of the
United States gradually reduced and
finally extinguished.
Would BE Safer and Stronger.
Looking at the question widely,
from my best point of knowledge and
experience, / feel that if these could
be secured the condition of the govern
ment. in it's relation to the currency,
would be much safer and stronger than
now, and that through the operation of
national bank note currency the COM
mercial and industrial interests Of the
United States would be greatly ad
vanced."
After this initial statement it was
deemed advisable to read the secre-
tary's bill in detail and discuss it sec
ton by section. The bill was intro
duced in the house by Chairman Walk
er OF the banking and currency commit
tee, Immediately after the hearing. The
bill as presented to the house is identf-"
CAT with the bill as submitted to the
committee.
