nese exclusion bill as heretofore agreed
upon in a general way by the committee.
When this work is done the bill will be
reported to the house.
The general immigration bill prepared
by Chairman Shattuc, of the committee
on immigration and naturalization, and
accepted by that committee, was by him
reported to the house today with the rec
ommendation that it be passed.
Mr.. Shuttuc gives the following sum-
mary of the bill and the report:
The general purpose of this bill is to
bring together in one act scattered legis-
latlon on this subject heretofore enacted,
from 1875 to 1894, in regard to the lmmi-
grafton of aliens into the United States.
The head tax on immigrants is increas-
ed from 81, as at present, to $l.50. This Is
to meet the expenses of the immigration
business. The bill provides also for not
only rejecting undesirable aliens at our
ports, but by following up those who have
unlaWfully effected an entrance and who
have become criminal or pauper burdens
upon state and municipal institutions, and
within five years after their arrival re-
turning them to the country whence they
came. IhlS period was formerly one year
The immigrants waited a year and then
entered an institution, remaining forever
afterward q burden upon the country.
Those coming in across the boundaries
who are manifested to this country, must
also pay this tax.
The bill excludes from admission to the
United States anarchists, or persons who
believe in or advocate the overthrow by
force or violence of all government forms
OF law or the ASA Ssination of public Off
Gals. Another new class of persons ex-
cluded is epfleptics and persons who have
been insane within five years previous
to coming here, and persons who have
rad two or more attacks of insanity at
any time previous. The section relating
to contract labor is made more stringent
and now includes persons who have been
induced to come to the United States by
"oners, solicitations, promises or agree
mentS, and the section includes the
words those who import or attempt to
import" which it is claimed will catch
the contractor even if the laborers are
not landed.
The bill also provides that inspection
shall be made from time to time of all re-
formatorieS insane hospitals and char
liable institutions, and that all aliens
who are found to have become pubic
charges under the law are to be deported
This provision is made to help clean out
the institutions of the country, particu-
larry in the Eastern states, of the thou
sands Of charges of this class.
The standard of qualifications of ex-
aiming physicians is raised SO that only
doctors of four years professional expert
cree shall be appointed. The bill also
provides for an examination of alien I'M
migrants coming as cabin passengers and
a great deal more valuable information
in the manifeSts than at present, the
same resulting in permanent means OF
afterward Identifying the immigrants.
Mr.. Shattuc says the bill will be taken
up in the house in the immediate future.

CUXHAVEN, March IS. - Admiral
Prince Henry of Prussia returned to Ger
man soil this afternoon, amid all the
pomp and circumstance with which the
princes imperial brother has seen fit to
mark the successful ending Of Prince
Henry's American mission.
The same good fortune which character
lied the princes transatlantic journey
continued until the end and the landing
occurred during q, period of brilliant sun
shine after an overcast day.
The Hamburg American line steamer
Deutschland, from Cherbourg, having on
board the prince and his suite, was first
sighted at $50 this afternoon. The Ger
man battleship Kaiser Wilhelm II. steam
ed down the roads to meet the Deutsch-
land, and returned escorting the big lin
er. The Deutschland tied up to the new
stone quay and was the first ship to dock
there.
Emperor William stood on the quay,
surrounded by high naval and municipal
officers. AS representative of the Amer
lean embassy at Berlin, Commander VIII
liam r. Beehler, the naval attache to
the embassy, stood at the emperor's side.
The quay was decorated with the flags
Of all the states of the empire. and the
thousands of spectators who covered the
roofs of the great warehous and the wide
slopes overlooking the scene, cheered
Wildly DIS henry walked down the
gangway from the steamer. Emperor
William kissed his brother upon both
cheeks and shook hands with the mem
bers of his suite, speaking a few cheer
full words to each. In the meantime the
guns of the squadron saIuted.
Side by side his majesty and Prince
Henry then passed down in front Of -Ae
marine guard which stood at salute.
After this the marine guard passed in re-
view, while the--band of the imperial
yache Hohenzollern played the national
anthem.
The passengers on the Deutschland
crowded to the steamers rail and cheer
ed heartily during the ceremony. Some
of the American passengers waved little
American flags; otherwise the Stars and
Stripes was not flying
After the inspection of the guard of
honor and the veterans by Emperor Will
liam, his majesty and his party, Prince
Henry and his staff and Commander
Beehler boarded a tender and amid fresh
salutes, music and cheering proceeded to
the battleship Kaiser Wilhelm H. Upon
arriving there the crew of the vessel
manned the ship to receive the royal per-
sonages.

COURT-MARTIAL OF WALLER, 1T
SEEMS, WOULD BE ILLEGAL.

MANILA, March 1S.-The court martial
appointed to try Maj. Littleton W. T.
Waller, and Lieut.. John A. Day, of the
marine corps, on the charge of executing
natives of the island of Samar without
trial, held its first session today Maj.
Waller was represented by Capt. Arthur
T. Mark, Of the marine corps; Maj Ed
win F. Glenn, of the army, and Mr.. Su-
tro, a lawyer. Gen. William H. Bisbee
presided.
Capt. Mark pleaded that the court
lacked jurisdiction, as marines cannot be
tried by the army, except when attached
TO that service, whereas Maj. Waller re-
turned to duty with the marine in Febru-
airy, though the acts charged occurred
III January, and consequently the army
had voluntarily forfeited it's right to a
trial. The orders of either Gen Chaffee.
Secretary Long, or the president, or Capt.
Mark were not sufficient to legaiize the
proce adings.
The court, after. a lengthy considera.
ton of the matter. decided that the point
was well taken. Gen. Chaffee is now

PRINCE SENDS BACK THANKS.
Declares Philadelphia Speech Had
No Political Significance,


CUXHAVEN, March 1S.-(On board
steamer Deutschland, D. MAS the
steamer drew near to Cuxhaven Prince
Henry received the correspondents in
bis cabin. The prince said:
u desire 10 send a last word through
you to America, to say how deeply CRATE
full L am for the measureless kindness I
received while there. I tried to say
this before l left, but want to say again
that | am grateful for the cordial and
generous manner in which the people
ana the president of the United States
received me.
Il met and talked with as many indi.
viduals as 1 could, but of course I saw
most of the people in crowds and some
times only from the railroad car plat
form, and only long enough to touch my
cap or take off my hat to them. l
wish TO thank all those thousands for the
trouble they took
The prince spoke with feeling.
II had no opportunity" he continued,
"of studying the details OF industry, as
l would like to have done"
AS to the fatigue of the trip the prince
said:
II was often tired, and I had to be
careful of what l said, both publicly and
privately. But since my long sleeps on
board the Deutschland, 1 would be ready
to return to America at once for just
such another trip. This one has been
so full of pleasure and instruction 1t
is a good thing to look upon another
people face to face and form your own
impressions"
Concerning his speech at Philadelphia,
Prince Henry added:
1T seemed proper I should make some
such utterance, for there are always
some undercurrents running that have to
be taken into account. What l said in
my Philadelphia speech was precisely the
truth. 1t might have been thought that
during my talks with President Roose-
yelt and my ride with him alone, I
might have said word or two of polit-
ical character, but such was not the
