RESTRICTION OF IMMIGRATION.
The senate Sends the Bill on the
subject TO the President.

Washington, Feb. H.-After a four
bours' debate in the Senate to-day the
conference report on the bill to amend the
immigration laws was agreed to by vote
of "a to 81. As the report had already
been agreed to in the House. the bill, as
modified in conference, now goes to the
President.
II adds to the classes of excluded aliens
ali persons over Is years of age, who can
not read the English language or some
other anguage-eXcept that admissible I'M
migrants may bring with them, or send
for iHiterate parents, or grandparents
lover 80 years of age, wives and minor
children.
II also prohibits from employment on
public works aliens who come regularly
or habitually into the United States for
the purpose of engaging in any mechani-
cal trade or manual labor, and who have
not made declaration of intention to be-
come American citizens. The Secretary
of the Treasury however, may permit the
entrance of aliens for the purpose of
teaching new arts or industries. And the
act is not to apply to persons coming here
from Cuba during the continuance of the
present disorders there.
Four democratic senators (Messrs. Chill
ton, Faulkner, Hill and MARTINI voted
for the report and four republicans
Clessrs. Hansbrough, Hawley, Mantle
and ShOup) against it.
After the immigration bill was disposed
Of the Senate proceeded to the considera-
lion of executive, business, and at 6

RECEIvERsHIp LAWS ROASTED.
Clearing House Committee Wants
Them Corrected.

Atlanta, Ga, Feb. 1.-THE special COM
mittee appointed by the clearing house
association to investigate the receivership
of the State Savings Bank, met this after
noon and made its report, which will be
submitted to the clearing house to-mor-
row. The report does not justify or CON
denim the action of the parties and the
court in placing the bank in the hands of
a receiver, because the condition of the in
stitution was not Investigated by the COM
mittee, and it does not pass upon its SOL
Vency.
The report, however, arraigns the pres
emit receiYership laws severely, and calls
upon banks, merchants, boards of trade,
and other commercial bodies throughout
the state to unite in an effort to have the
legislature correct the evils of the system.
First, it is unjust to business to allow an
institution to be put in the hands of a
receiver upon an eX parte showing, and
then the fees allowed by the courts are
held to be enormously out Of proportion
to the services rendered. In the case of
the State Savings Bank the committee
found that the man who made the apph-
cation was a mere dummy or figurehead,
and in good conscience ought not to have
had any standing in court at all.
The committee failed to elicit from the
applicant the source of the information
as to the allegations touching
the Southern Mutual Building
and Loan Association to the bank, which
was one of the grounds upon which the re-
to do with the granting of the order by

STREET CAR MEN STRIKE.
The Employees of the Galveston
Roads Resist Cut.

Galveston, Tex. Feb. 1.-THE entire
system of street railways was tied up this
morning by a strike of the employees.
The company recently announced that
the pay of extra conductors would be re-
duced from Is to IA cents an hour and
their time would be shortened. This was
unsatisfactory to the men, and they pro-
tested. The company remained firm, and
the men struck.
A committee of citizen waited on the
employees and the company in an effort to
bring about an adjustment. AS a result
the company agreed to pay it's men the
old rate of compensation for the next ten
days, in order to afford every accommo-
dation for visitors in attendance upon the
meeting Of the national educational con-
VentiOn and the ceremonies in connection
with the reception of the battleship Texas.
The employees refused to agree to this.
A force from Houston is expected to take
the place of the strikers. This may re-
suit in trouble The strike involves
about 100 men, and forty miles of railway
on which traffic is now at a complete
standstil
At meeting of the strikers this after
noon, a resolution was adopted to the
effect that the employees would return to
work when the wages in force on Feb.
] were restored To this proposition the
company refused to comply The strikers
are holding secret sessions tonight
Street car service is suspended on all
lines in the city, and not a wheel has
moved TODAY.
