HOUSE ADOPTS THE REPORT

Immigration Bill as Amended in Confer
ence Is Satisfactory.
WASHINGTON, Feb. 10.-The house
has agreed to the final conference re-
port on the immigration bill by an
overwhelming majority, 2l7 to 80, and
passed two more pension bills over the
presidents veto. The. notifications of
the immigration bill contained in the
conference report by which an intend
ing immigrant was required to be able
to read and write "the English or an
other language and which permitted
the illiterate wife and minor children
to accompany an eligible immigrant,
removed the main opposition to the
bill, but Messrs. Mahany (Rep., N. Y
Mcguire dem. Call and Keifer (Rep.,
Mimi opposed the whole theory of
the bill on general principles Mr..
Bartholdt rep. Mo- and Mr.. Mccall
(Rep., Mass both spoke in favor of
the bill as modified. The benefciaries
of the pension bills passed over the veto
were both of the class known as ''re-
married widows" Mr.. Cleveland has
disapproved a number of these bills:
but he has also allowed several to be.
come laws without his signature.

ing Of 40 citizens at Governor Pingree's

Occupied the Entire Day in
Opposition to the Arbi-
tration Treaty.
Offered an Important Amend
ment and Advocated Its
Adoption.
House Adopts the Conference
Report on the Immigra-
ton Bill.

WASHINGTON, Feb. 1O.-The most
important developments concerning
the consideration Of the arbitration
treaty by the senate in executive ses-
sion during the day were the offering
Of an amendment by Senator Morgan
providing for the abrogation of the
Clayton Bulwer treaty and the speech
by the same senator in favor of this
proposition. Senator Morgan declared
that the conditions which called forth
the Clayton Bulwer. treaty had long
passed away. It was no longer bind
ing on either nation, nor wAs it Of any
use or value to this nation, though it
might be Of great Importance to Great
Britain in case the Nicaragua canal
was constructed. While the old treaty
was obsolete and disregarded, yet it
was still
Used a. q Menace and Bugaboo
to the United States whenever the con-
struction Of the. Nicaragua canal was
advocated. Another important amend
ment was offered by Senator Bacon of
Georgia. It provides for modification
Of article so as to relieve the South
ern states from any obligations that
might arise under the bonds issued in
the reconstruction days. The amend
ment was the result of conference
among the Southern senators, who
concluded that the article as it now
stands might render it possible to make
these bonds, when held by subjects of
Great Britain, the object of arbitra-
ton. Mr.. Bacon sought an oppor-
tunity to address the senate on the
amendment. but was prevented by the
fact that Senator Morgan held the
floor all day.
Looking for the Leak.
The early part Of the session was de-
voted to the discussion Of the full re-
ports Of Mondays secret session that
were printed in the papers. Senator
Vest sprung this subject as soon as the
combinations were disposed Of. Two
hours were devoted to senatorial dis
cussion of the methods of the modern
newsseeker, which was more in the
nature Of fault finding than of criti-
cism Of their accuracy. The reports
were generally complimented for their
accuracy, and the majority Of the re-
marks were devoted to an effort to ex-
plain their appearance. Senator Vest
asserted that no one but trained
newspaper man could give the pro-
ceedings in such detail as sent out, and
commended that an expert must be en-

IN A PACIFlED PROVINCE.
Pinar del Rio Insurgents in Better Con-

Pinar del Rio Insurgents in Better Con-
dition Than Ever.
HAVANA, via Key West, Feb. 10
The various reports and statements of
Captain General Weyler announcing
the pacifcation Of the province of Pi-
mar del Rio and the almost complete
disappearance of the insurgents in that
part Of the island are far from being
borne out by facts. AS matter of
fact the insurgent forces in Pinar del
Rio seem better off than at any previ-
GUS stage of the campaign. In support
of this assertion it is positively known
that at least 5000 insurgents, under
we'll known leaders, are at present un-
der arms in various parts Of the prov
ince. In addition to these is strong
body of insurgents which seems to have
mysteriously disappeared from the
neighborhood of Havana. Their where
abouts is known to be
Causing spaniards Considerable Anxiety.
The friends of the insurgents intimate
that big surprise is being prepared
for Captain General Weyler when he
tries to return to Havana.
General Gonzales Munoz is upon the
point of returning to Spain on leave of
absence and his example is to be sfol-
lowed by several other generals in
March. These officers, the friends of
the insurgents claim, see absolutely no
chance Of glory in Cuba and consider
able danger of disgrace, to say nothing
Of disease and wounds. Consequently,
their enemies add, seeing that the in-
surgents must eventually triumph by
the machete or otherwise, they are
adopting the policy of rats when the
latter become aware that the ship
which harbors them is upon the point
of sinking.
