REFUSED TO CONSIDER IT
House Votes Down the Lodge
immigration Bill.
SECOND TINE IN THIS CONGRESS
An Interesting Debate on tho Rules Pre-
cipitatod by Congressman Grow
Of lsennsylvanis.

WASHINGTON, Dec. 15.-The house for
the second time during this congress re.
fused to consider the Lodge immigra-
ton bill. At the last session anattempt
was made to take it from the speakers
table but it was defeated by q large ma
jority. Mr.. Danford Of Ohio, chairman
Of the immigration committee, thought
the bill would be stronger after the
elections were over, but when he tried
again to secure consideration the house
declined, 100 to 103, to take it up.
An interesting but brief debate on the
rules was precipitated3 during the session
by Mr.. Grow Of Pennsylvania during
which Mr.. Dearmond made q speech on
the decadence Of the privilege of debate
in the house and held Speaker Reed re-
sponsible for the fact that the house had
had no opportunity to adopt new sys-
tenn Of rules at this session. The speaker
replied with q sarcastic speech in which
he referred to the complaints of John
Randolph in the early days Of the GEN.
tury to show that the same remon-
strances were made then that were be-
ing heard now.

PROMISES TO Be, GRAVE.

United states aud Mexico May He With
out an Ext1sdition Treaty.
WASHINGTON, Dec. 15.-Unless the
unexpected happens the United States
and Mexico will be without an extradi-
ton treaty on the 18th of next month.
The situation promises to be one OF
gravity and the Mexican border is likely
10 be paradise for fugitives from JUS
tice and criminals of every description
until new treaty can be agreed upon.
Mexico denounced the existing treaty
because our government refused to de-
liver up on extradition proceedings GER
tain Mexicans who had escaped across
the line and were accused by their own
government of various ofenses of q
criminal character, but who, it is as
serted, were really wanted for political
reasons. Mr.. Clayton, the United States
minister to Mexico, is endeavoring to
make new treaty, but with the serious
differences in principle between the two
governments his task will be difficult.
