Washington, May 21.-The House be-
gan consideration of the immigration
Bill today. The principal speech was
made by Mr.. Shattuck, of Ohio chair
man of the Committee on Immigration
He was especially severe in his con
demnaton of the manner in which immi-
grants are introduced through Canada,
and by Canadian Railway and Steamship
Companies. Mr.. Underwood (Ala.) gave
notice that an amendment to provide
an educational test and much of the dis
cussion during the day was upon this
subject. Mr. Underwood spoke of the
growing need of stringent restrictions
against immigration as a measure of
self preservation for American citizen
ship and republican institutions. The
class of immigration had descended low
er and lower since 1880, due to the in
ducements held out to the pauper and
criminal element of Europe to immi-
CRATE, until Mr.. Underwood declared a
grave and threatening condition was
presented.
The House agreed to the resolution
seating Charles r. Thomas from the
Third North Carolina district, also seat
ing Emmett Tompkins from the Twelfth
Ohio district whose seat was contested
by John ]. Lentz, also confirming the
right of Mr.. Rhea of the Ninth Virginia
district

The volcanic clouds advanced until they

The spectacle was appalling and sub

into frenzy of panic during which SOL

The steam launch oW the United States
cruiser Cincinnati took some. refuge and
to the French cruiser Suchet and nearly
a hundred persons sought refuge on the
Cincinnati and on the United States
special steamer Potomac. At 10 o'clock
the Potomac went to investigate matters,
and all reports agree that Lieut.. Benja-
min r. Mccormick. the commander of
the steamer did great work. He went in
close to St. Pierre and found that city
had heen bombarded with enormous
stones from the volcano. and that the
ruins left standing after the first great
disaster had been nearly raZed Mil
lions of tons of ashes then covered the
ruined city.

them and brought the part to Fort De

cult and dangerous.

tion of the island is fleeing towards Fort
De France. The CONSERVATION prevailing
is indescribable. Mont Pelee is still
very threatening.
The French cruiser Suchet went on
another tour around the island and did
not take pert in the rescue work cf the

Bacon Continues His Speech.
(By the Associated Press }

Washington. May 21.-Bcfore the Sen
ate resumed consideration of the Philip
pine Bill today it adopted a resolution
congratulating the Republic of Cuba upon
its entry into the family of Independent
nations and the Secretary of State was
directed to transmit the resolution to
the President of the new epublic. The
Senate also ordered the Associated Press
account of the ceremonies OF the transfer
from the United States to the Cuban
authorities printed in the Congressional
Record and as a public document.
Mr.. Wellington (Md9 opposed the pend
ing Philippine measure and denounced
the action of the United States in the
islands as indefensihle, as the attack of
the hordes of hell upon God. He de-
clared that above the army and the
War Department and the President were
the American people, and in his judg
ment, they were responsible for the con-
dition of affairs in the Philippines, be-
cause they had placed the dollar above
the man.
In a continuation of his speech of yes
terday, Mr.. Bacon Georgia. again de-
nounced the concentration policy pur-
sued in the Philippines. He indicated
that if leading Republican Senators would
declare it to be their purpose to give
the Filipinos a free government, the
minority would not quarrel about the
time when the Government was to be
established They desired simply to
know that the PHILIPPINE excrescence was
to be cut off
Adverting to the policy of concentra-
tion. Mr.. Bacon said that Mr. Foraker
had indicated yesterday that the order
for concentration had been issued for
humanitarian purpose and to protect
te friendly Filipinos from bandits and
guerilla bands. The trouble with that
idea was that a definite date had been
fixed for the coming into concentration
camps of the FilipinOs. the order stating
that if the inhabitants did not enter the
camps by the specified date their property
would be liable to confiscate. 1t was
evident that the concentration order had
some other purpose than that stated by
Mr. Foraker.
When he referred to the camps as
concentration camps, Mr.. Spooner in
quired if it was the purpose to fasten
upon the American army the odium of
Weylersm. He said the term reconcen-
trado stood for policy of infamy, which
was not the purposeI of General Bell in
issuing the concentration order and he
believed Mr.. Bacon knew that the gem
eral had no such purpose.
Mr.. Bacon said he had called atten-
tion to this matter simply to show the
American people what were the results
of the Philippine policy in order that
understanding it, they might be induced
to abandon it.

Greensboro, n c., May 21.-One of the
cleanest games ever played here was
witnessed by an enthusiastic audience
this evening. in which both sides played
fine ball, although two serious errors
by Kelly and Suggs OF the locals lost
them the victory. FOX's one-handed
stop OF Smiths grounder was one of the
finest plays. Kelly led his team at the
bat, getting a two bagger and a single.
Leonard for Raleigh, struck out six men
and did splendid pitching throughout
Pastor at short and Soffle at second,
played their usual fast game. There
were several close decisions. but all

The attendance during the scholastic
wear lsO1,O2 is chown to have been an in
crease Of s. per cent over the previous
year.
In conclusion Prof sssor Floyd says:
''In the beginning of the year a closer
classification OF pupils was made than
has been the custom heretofore the
different grades were subdivided INFO
groups or sections pupils of like attain
meAts being placed in a group. No at
tempt was made to have all of the pu-
pills of a grade do exactly the same
amount of work. I The different groups
were permitted to advance according to
the ability of the pupils composing them.
BY this arrangement pupils. who couii
not be advanced rapidly on account of i'm
maturity or who we're deficient on ac-
count of loss of time duIing previous
years, or who were backward for any
reason, did not have to be forced unduiJ
in order to keep up. The older and better
prepared pupils were permitted to go for
ward.
IN this way the pupils composing the
lower sections did more thorough work
than they would otherwise have done.
Those of higher sections suffered no loss
of time from being held back. but were
permitted to advance more rapidly. I'm
der this plan time is economical, the
discipline is easier, the individual re-
ceives more attention and so the work
of the schools becomes more efficient.
EARLY in December the Cottage Hill
School was burned. After a months sus
pension the exercises of the school were
resumed in the Hospital building, the
use of which was generously rendered
by the Plant System. Owing to the loca-
ton Of the building, near the railroads,
and its lack of adaptation for school plr
poses. the work of the school was con-
Quoted at a great disadvantage. How
ever, teachers and pupils made the best
of the situation and at the close of the
year the classes were found sufficiently
well advanced for promotion.

TO EXAMINE ONCE A YEAR.
Governor Jelks Makes Important

y
After the first Of next January the
books of every State and County official
in Alabama will be examined once every
year.
Governor Jelks yesterday announced
that the Examiners OF Public Accounts
had so far caught up with their work
that they could make the rounds of the
counties at least once every year. In
their work the Examiners have been
somewhat handicapped by the fact that
when they went into a County to examine
the books of an Official they would have
to go back in their investigations two or
three years and sometimes longer. This
of course made large demands upon the
time OF the Public Examiners. 1t forced
them sometimes to remain in County
several weeks
The more tedious part OF the work OF
the Examiners has now been completed
and the examinations they will make with
be only for one year or az most two years
The Investigations Of the books of the
officials of a County for one year VII
take no great length Of time.
In view of this the announcement 70
made that there will be an annual exam
ination of the books Of all County oficiais
in Alabama.
