TO BE PUSHED IN THE HOUSE.
An Attempt Will Be Made to Secure
Early Action ON the Immi-
grafton Bill.

Washington. Jan. 1s.-The immigration
bill, which passed the senate yesterday. will
be pushed in the house with a view to Sc
curing early action. Chairman Danford, of
the house immigration committee. said to-
day that he would endeavor to have the
committee on rules fix time for consider
ing the bill. The only question is, as to
whether the measure will be urged as it
passed the senate or will take the form of
the Mccall bill. The latter includes. In the
educational test. both reading and writing.
while the senate, bill. as It finally passed
that body limited the test to reading alone.

WILL BE REPORTED FAvORABLY
Chance That the Free Homes Bill Will
Pass the Senate Is
Good.

Washington. Jan. 1S.-(Special) Senator
Nelson, of Minnesota, to-day appeared be-
fore the house committee on public lands
in favor of the free homes bill. and the
committee decided to report the bill with
a recommendation for its passage on Fri
day.
The interest thus shown by Mr.. Nelson
is of more than passing importance. This
bill f1oundered in the senate last congress.
Delegate Flynn put 1t through the house,
but it was hung up in the senate for two
reasons: one. a majority Of the senate did
=. not feel favorable to the bill on first i'm
preston and had not time to investigate.
and, second. because the senators were as
sured Cleveland would follow the advice
OF his Kansas City organ and veto the
bill. Hence there was no use to pass the
bill or investigate.
1t now happens that some of the sena-
tors have commenced to investigate. They
realize that the president would add his
name to the bill. This is encouraging.
There is chance for work doing some
good. The senate will now take up the
bill and it may pass that end of the cap
itol.
What the house will do is uncertain. It
Is new house. There is no active dele
gate from Oklahoma to. urge passage Of
the bill. The average member has troubles
enough in his own district. Unless some
one influences him to action, he usually
goes negative. 1t will take some work as
herein suggested to get it through the
house.

Washington. Jan. ls.-To-day's open ses-
sion of the senate was brief. Practically

MILLIONS MIGHT BE SAVED.
Compelling Washington Employees
Alone to Work Full Time Would
Save $500, 900 q Yenr.

Washington Jan. 1s.-Civil Service Com
missioner John B. Harlow was before the
senate civil service investigating committee
to-day. and presented some interesting
statements and suggestions in reply mainly
to questions on the subject submitted by
Senator Elkins, of the committee.
He said that, If all the government en-
ployes in this city were required to work
law. it would mean a gain of loo extra
hours a day, with saving approximately
of over $4,000 year for clerk hire. At
present the great bulk of employees work
six and half hours. The gain outside Of
Washington would be in this proportion.
Commissioner Harlow believed that many
millions of dollars would be saved II the
departments were managed like the aver
age business house or corporation.
Chief Examiner Servon. of the commits
SIGN. testified that. up TO date, 300. 23o people
had been examined and 52. 55I appointed to

flying these appointments to office was SILT

Washington, Jan. 1s.-James A. Schrym-
ser, president of the Pacific Cable Compa-
ny, appeared before the house committee
on interstate and foreign commerce to-day
to advocate a contract with the United
States which he said would not call for a

nit all official messages for $4,000 per
year for twenty years from San Francisco
to Hawaii, China and Japan, with a propo-
sition to extend 1t to Australia for s75, 900
additional per year. He said that during the
ment 5000 for one diplomatic message, and
no one knew what the governments aggre-
gate expense was in this connection 1t
would take 5000 miles of cable from San
Francisco to Honolulu. He was sharply
questioned by the committee as to the mon-
opolstic features of his proposition. He
said his company was responsible and had
experience to do what they proposed.

OF his neighbors regard him as the instru-
ment of divine manifestations. The first
symptom Is a flushed appearance of the face

Hawaiian President to Leave San
FranciscO for Washington This

San Francisco. Jan. 1s.-President San
ford b. Dole. of the Hawaiian islands re-
public, has decided to resume his journey
to Washington tomorrow afternoon. The
party had intended to remain in San Fran
cisco for some time, as President Dole is
well acquainted here and wanted to renew
old friendships, but dispatches received by
him from Minister Hatch at Washington
advising him to reach the capital as soon
as possible have changed his plans. The
Hawaiian president and his wife and at
tendants will go by way OF Chicago and
New York. stopping one day in each of
those cities.
Washington, Jan. Heterogeneous are
being made at Washington for the enter
tainment of President Dole. of Hawaii. on
a scale befitting his rank as the chief mag
tstrate of a friendly nation.
President Mckinley has decided to have
the official tour of the Hawaiian president
begin at Chicago, and at that point in his
overland tour he will be met by the rep
resentatives of the president and of the
United States government.
The exact nature Of the powers reposed
by the Hawaiian government in President
Dole is not known at the state department.
but there is reason to believe that he may
be authorized to act for his government
IN the matter of accepting any amend
ment that may be made in the annexation
treaty, and thus save valuable time in the
conclusion Of the negotiations.

Will BE Favorably Reported by the

Next Week.

Washington, Jan. 1S.-(Special) Hon. W.
c. Perry, of Fort Scott, ex-united States
district attorney, Hon. A. E. Lambert.
United States district attorney. and Judge
r. Peters of Newton. comprising the dele
cation from Kansas, appeared this morn
ing before the house committee on ju-
dietary with reference to the bill dividing
the state of Kansas into two judicial dis
tricts. The delegation occupied the com.
mittee's attention for about one hour and
a half. 1t was shown that one judge, even
IL in good health. was unable to do the
business of the district which was con-
stantIy increasing. Judge Foster, It was
stated. had been doing the work and bus
mess in both the district and circuit
courts for the past ten years. and that
while still doing the work, he was much
broken in health and unable to keep up
with the volume of business presented. ~. It
state should have relief, either by the Gre
alton of a new district or by provision
for an additional judge In the present dis
trict. The arguments presented impressed
the committee. with the result that a IA:
vorable report will be made on the bill
when the committee meets next Friday.
