the Capitol Buflding--Immigra-
ton Bill Passed

Washington, May 2S.-The house on
Tuesday passed the Shattuc immigra-
ton bill. The feature of the day was

by Mr.. Bowersock (Kan.) to prohibit
such sale, which was carried, SO to 49,
Mr.. Lands Qnd.) followed this victory
with an amendment to prohibit the
sale of intoXicants in the capitol, and
it prevailed by a still larger majority
los to 10.
The bill brings together into one
act all the scattered legislation here
tofore enacted in regard to the immi-
grafton of aliens into the United
States, arranges it in sequence, etc.,
eliminates what has become obsolete
by reason of subsequent legislation,
amends some of the administrative
features and also adds some provisions
to the general laws and others made
necessary by the extension of the ter
ritorial limits of the United States.
Among the more important changes
| are those increasing the head tax on
aliens coming into the United States
by land transportation from one dollar
to $1.50; adding to the excluded classes
epileptics, persons who have been in
sane within five years, anarchists, or
persons who advocate the overthrow
of government by force, prostitutes
and procurers (whose importation is
now felony, but whose entry is not
prohibited); broadening the word
contract" in the contract labor law
to include "offer, solicitation or prom
ise;" providing for the fine of steam
| ship companies which receive at the
port of departure aliens afflicted with
| loathsome or contagious disease, in
stead of providing, as now, for their
| deportation on arrival here; extending
| the time within which an alien who
becomes public charge may be de-
| ported from one to two years, and
| providing that immigrants over IS
| years old should be able to read in
| some language.
