Washington, May 2S. - The house
yester1a passed the Shattuck immi-
grafton bill. The feature of the day
was a lively debate on the question Of
prohibiting the sale of intoxicating
liquors at immigrant stations. IT was
precipitated by an amendment offered
| by Mr.. Bowersock of Kansas to pro-
kibit such sale, which was carried-SS
to is. Mr.. Lands of Indiana followed
this victory with an amendment TO
prohibit the sale of intoXicants in the
capitol and ii prevailed by a still larger
maiority-lOS to 10. The bill brings to-
gether into one act all the scattered
legislation heretofore enacted in re-
gard to immigration of aliens into the
United States, arranges Ii in sequence,
etc, eliminates what has become obso-
lete by reason OF subsequent leo,isla-
ton, amends some of the admir- ,stra-
tive featu es and also adds some pro-
visions to the general laws and others
made necessary by the extension of the
territorial limits Of the United States.
Among the more important changes
are those increasing the head

extending the time within which an

and providing that immigrants over

session closed a special rule was pre-
scented to make the bill for coming

In the senate.
A fruitlefs effort was made Just be-
fore the adjournment of the senate yes
terday to secure an agreement on a
time for vote on the Philippine bill.
The discussion indicated that some day
next week eventually would be agreed
upon, but no time was fixed. During
the discussion a proposition was made
that a time be fixed on alternate
Tuesdays, beginning next week, for a
vote or the Philippine bill, the Me
aragua canal bill and the Cuban reH-
procity bill, and that a final adjourn
ment be agreed on for the fourth
Tuesday; but it was too startling o
take seriously, although some senator's
regarded ii favorably.
For several hours yesterday Mr.. Pat

which he began Monday. After review
ing and commenting on the general
Philippine question he attacked the !
pending bill, particularly it's provis- |

The British steamer Myrtledene, at
Philadelphia, from Mlddlesboro, Eng

cording to its skipper, Capt. Yule, n
terrifying experience while crossing

beat the ship. but the thing that will
live longest in the memory Of the crew
will be the wild pranks that electricity
played with 1t, the fire balls leaping
all over the rigging and making the
sailors believe the day of doom had
arrived. Capt. Yule declared that not
only did the fire balls play about the
steamer, but they appeared shooting
about the sea until the chief mate,
who was on the bridge at the time.

unusual termination.
Hunter brought suit against the
company, claiming that he had
been put off passenger train by
a conductor and in doing so had
been thrown under the cars and
one of his feet mashed.
At the trial he was minus a foot
but all the men in charge of the
train testified that no such an oc-
currence took place as claimed by
Hunter.
One Peasants corroborated
Hunters story and the sympathet-
lie jury returned Il verdict for So,

indignity of being elected from the
train.
At the trial it was potent that
somebody was lying.
The company perfected an APP
