rame1y. There was not even vote on
the item in the executive, legislative
and judicial appropriation bill upon
which the debate was predicated. The
republicans, who are see king to modify
or repeal the law, decided to let the
debate come to close yesterday, but
it required the casting vote Of the
speaker to accomplish this. There are
conflicting statements as to the situa'
ton in which the future conduct Of the
war against the civil service law is
left. All the republican opponents Of
the low agree that the fight is not to
be kept up and it is positively stated
by Mr.. Pearson, of North Carolina,
that assurances have been received
from those in authority in the house
that an opportunity will be given in
the future for the consideration Of q
bill to modify the law, but from other
sources the statement cannot be con-
firmed. The debate was quite dull
until the closing hour, when Mr..
Simpson, the Kansas populist, enliv-
ened it with some references to the
Ohio senatorial election. Mr.. Bailey,
the democratic leader, made q clear
statement Of the minority position
which indicates that the minority will
vote to repeal but not to modify the
law. The principal speech of the day
was made by Mr.. Brosius, chairman OF
the civil service committee, who de-
Tended the law in two hours speech.
With the conclusion of Mr.. Bailey's re-
marks the bill was reported to the
house. 1t was then discovered that
those who desired to vote to strike out
the appropriation for the civil service
commission had neglected to make the
motion in the committee OF the whole.
No vote, therefore, could be taken, and
the bill passed without division. The
agricultural and urgency deficiency
bills were then reported to the house.
Mr.. Curtis introduced a measure for
the relief of the officers and privates
of the First Kansas colored volunteers,
who were mustered into the service
before May 3, 1868. He wants congress
to pay them from the time they en-.
listed and on this hinges bit of inter-
esting history. In 1869, without wait
ing for the proclamation Of President
Lincoln authorizing the enlistment Of
colored troops, Gen. "Jim" Lane, the
Kansas fre-eater, organized the troop
mentioned. 1t was 700 in number and
was the first colored regiment in the
United States Mr.. Curtis wants to
allow the members of the regiment
pay for the time they served in advance
OF the presidents proclamation.

FINCH MAY HANG.


Il 10 Said Gov. Leedy viii Not Interfere In
Case Of the Fort Scott Murderer.
FoRr ScoTT, Kan, Jan. 19. - The first
man to be hanged under the Kansas
capital punishment law in 30 years or
more will probably be George W.
Finch. of Miami county who has just
been convicted in this city Of the muir
der Of Frank Swafford, Of Piedmont,
Mo-, and brother Of DR.. Swafford, Of
Kansas City. For many years it has been
customary for Kansas governors to re-
fuse to sign death warrants, and pris-
oners subject to capital punishment
under the law have gone to prison for
life. Gov. Leedy announces his faith
In hanging as q cure for crime and de-
clares that henceforth the penalty con-
templated by the law shall be infict-
cd. There are no circumstances In the
murder of Swafford to appeal TO the
governor to change his mind.

Bills Reported Bill Introduced to
Pay the First Kansas Colored
Volunteers.

WASHINGTON, Jan. 19.-The senate
yesterday briefly discussed an adverse
report by the pensions committee on q
bill to pension Gen. Meade's two
daughters at 800 month each, Chair
man Gallinger saying the committee
did not wish to enter on the pension
ing Of daughters Of veterans. Senator
Allen, of Nebraska, thought that Gen.
Meade's services justified such liber-
atty. No action was taken, and after
Senator Wolcott, Of Colorado, an
nounced speech on the money ques.
ton for next Monday, Senator Fair
banks addressed the senate on immi-
grafton and spoke in favor Of the bill,
saying:
The pending bill throws On additional safe
guard about our population and citizenship
and imposes moderate and reasonable educa-
tional test upon all immigrants over 10 years
Of age and physically capable, The immigrant
must be able to read and write the constitution
OF the United States in some language before
admission An exception is made, however, In
the case Of person over 80 years Of age the
parent or grandparent OF n qualified immigrant
above q years Of age and who Is capable
of supporting such parent or grandparents
The bill before the senate offers q par
tia cure for the evils incident to the pres
ent immigration SYSTEM 1t is one which Is
Stf hnnDotlu I'm nj To-
tered, will go far toward removing the
disquiet prevalent throughout the country.
The new classification which 1t makes will re-
suit in debarring large per cent Of the most
objectionable elements which now have unre-
stricted admission 1t is not claimed that IL
will discriminate with absolute justice and
that only the worthy will be admitted and the
unworthy excluded. Some Of those who will
be denied entrance though illiterate, would
make acceptable additions to our population,
but much the larger number would not Very
few Of them possess the qualities which would
enable them to develop into desirable citizens :.
After this speech the Hawaiian
treaty was taken up in executive ses-
sion, The senate devoted almost an
hour OF the first part OF the executive
session to wrangle over the recon-
initial of the nominations of one or
two minor officials confirmed Monday,
and did not take up the Hawaiian
treaty until about two or three o'clock.
Senator Davis took the floor at that
hour and proceeded to deliver a speech
in support of the treaty. He repre-
sented the majority of the committee
on foreign relations and his speech
was accepted as practically the COM
mittees report upon the treaty. Sen.
ator Davis spoke at length and held
from the first the closest attention of
the senate.
