Representative Curtis interceded for
the family and action was suspended
pending a report on the case The
report was received to-day and sets
forth that the family was detained
because the two children were af-
Aicted with arachoma, an infectious
disease of the eyes, WHICH debars
them from landing under the imml-
gpation laws, Krubler IS said to be
a naturalized citizen and resident
OF Topeka The finding OF the New
York inspectors will doubtless be APP
proved and the immigrants ordered
TO be returned by the steamship com
pany which brought them over.
Representative Curtis this evening
said that Kruber has been a resident
OF Topeka about a year. Under the
law the mother may return to Europe

the following as some OF the chief fen-
lures OF the bill, and which, in the
main, are probably fairly accurate:
IAN amendment to the coinage Jaws,
making 25% grains of gold, 900 parts

AN amendment to the greenback

gold, and when so redeemed, shall not
be reissued except in exchange for
gold. This provision will prevent the
operation of the endless chain which
hitherto has been the means to raid
the gold reserve.
An amendment TO the specie resump'
tlon act, directing the maintenance
of gold reserve OF not less than $780,
100000, the maintenance Of the reser G
at that figure now being entirely dis
cretionary to the secretary Of the
treasury.
"An amendment to the national
bank law authorizing banks to be or
ganized with capital stock Of $4,000.
AT present the minimum Is $4,000.
Another amendment to the same act
authorizing banks to issue Noes to the
par value Of the bonds they have on

present the limit is 90 per cent. A
third amendment to this act reduces
the taxation on bank circulation to
one-tepth of per cent, This tax Is to
