ALIEN IMMIGRATION BILL.
1t Passes Second Reading in House OF
Commons.

London. April 23.-The alien Immigration
bill passed its second rea ding i'm the HoIlse
OF Commons, today.
The alien immigration bill. which was
introduced in the House of Commons
March %, follows the recommends ton Of
lne report of the royal commission on
alien immigration issused on August u
last.
In introducing the measure the home
secretary referred to the increase of crime
du" to the admission of Il class of aliens
to Great Britain which could not enter the
United States. There was no intention,
the immigration of foreigners general lily,
but only with the class of undesirable i'm
migrants who had displaced the British
laborer and pushed the English out OF
dwellings they had formerly occupied.
with the result that the feeling between
foreigners ana BritiSherS, especially i'll
London, was becoming a serious menace
to the maintenance of law ana order.
Sir Charles Dixie and Charles Philips
Trevelylan, who led the Liberal oppusl-
ton to the bill, argued that the demand
for it was the outcome of anti-ScmitiC
agitation
Sir Charles Dixie, who moved an
necessity for the bill more stringent
measures to suppress sweating" dilated
on the excellent qualities of the Jews, and
went so far as to argue that Christian
peoples ought to be anxious To offer the
Jews an asylum as compensation for past
persecution, which was the cause of their
faults.
The ministerial members warmly repu-
dated the idea that anti-SemitiSm had
ANYTHING to do with the question.
Taken as a whole, the debate on the
bill was conducted temperately.

There is a curious custom in connec-
ton with the palm branches at Bordi-
ghera, Italy. The right of exploiting
the sale of these at Rome was original
ly given in 1856 to a sailor of Bor-
dighera named Bresca, for n suggestion
made during the raising of the Egyp-
tian obelisk in the square of St. Peter.
Owing to the difficulty Of the work.
Pope Sixtus V. had forbidden the on
lockers to distract the engineers by n
single word; but Bresca, seeing the
cords stretching unduly.. and disaster
impending. shouted out "Wet the
ropes!" and saved the situation. His
life was forfeited for speaking, but the
Pope pardoned him for his Ingenuity
and gave him the monopoly Of the palm
trade in Rome at Easter. His des-
cendants still annually present the
Pope with d richly decorated palm
branch.

For Seed and See That Il Contains
Large Percentage Of Protein--At-
tendance Was Larne.

Before n largely attended meeting OF
the West Brandywine Grange On the
hall at Talleyville last night, DR.. a. T.
Neale, OF Newark gave an instructive
and interesting address on Seed
Corn" There were about 100 OF the
most influential farmers OF the hum
dred present and after Or. Neale's adj
dress there was a general discussion on
the subject, which many OF them took
part I'm. There was also a musical ana
literary entertainment.
The meeting was presided over by j..
W. Perkins. Dr. Neale Ia his address
advised the farmers to have their corn
tested for seed and TO see that It con-
tained a large percentage OF protein.
The average amount Of protein I'm corn
here Is about s per cent, but In the
Middle West Il has been worked up as
high as 16 per cent. The speaker said
OF the farmer In this vicinity would
grade his corn up to that standard II
would be an immense saving In feed
bills.
DR.. Neale also took up the question Of
growing scarlet clover In connection
with corn. He gave numerous in
stances OF land that ten years ago
yielded but 20 bushels TO the acre
which has been increased to between
so and 20 bushels, through the good
effect OF growing scarlet clover.
Or. Neale was asked what he thought
about planting by signs but declined q
/ fully express his opinion on that mat
ter. He inferred. however, that IN,
farmer who plants by signs, seldom
gets back I'm his work which Is some
times the case with those who do no
believe IN signs.
Among those who took part in thu
discussion and asked numerous qucs
tions OF DIR. Neale IN regard to see
corn were. William Bird, William a

TO CHANGE FREIGHT ROUTE
Delaware Road Trains Will Enter City
By Another Way.

Delaware road freight will hereafter
enter this city from another route. The
trains formerly left the Delaware road
above New Castle and came over the
CUTOFF, but on account of the steep
grade and heavy trains this route has
been decided impracticable Often the
trains become stalled and another en-
gine is necessary to draw them up the
grade.
1t has now been decided to have the
trains enter city by way OF the Farm
hurst cutoff. BY doing this the grade
is avoided. The trains will be sent
south over the New Castle CUTOFF.
