WASHINGTON, Dee 15.-The senate
was in session just Is minutes yester-
dav, adjournment being taken until
to-day out of respect TO President Nc
Kinley, who was in attendance upon
the funeral of his mother. No busi-
ness beyond the introduction Of bills
and resolutions was transacted. Among
the bills introduced was one by Mr.
KYLE, of South Dakota, to change the
immigration laws of the United States
He gave notice that at the proper time
he would offer the bill as q substitute
for that which is now pending before
the senate 'In only one feature"
said Mr.. Kyle, 'sdoes my bill differ ma
terially from the measure now before
the senate. Ny bill provides that all
immigrants shall have their test OF
education made by the consuls at the
points nearest to their homes 1t IS q
serious hardship for these people to
cross the ocean with the prospect
staring them in the face of falling in
the test at the port Of foreign coun-
try. This feeling OF stage fright
doubtless so seriously affects many OF
them that they are unable to do them
selves Justice in reading the prescribed
regulations Of the constitution Of the
United States"
