ALIENS BILL PASSED.
sir Charles DiIke's Amendment Showed Under. II

London, May 2.-The house of com mons reassembled to-day after the Eas- ter recess. The debate on the aliens bill was begun by Sir Charles Dilke
 tadyanced radicaD. who opposed the measure. contending that it was un-
 necessary, as he was prepared to show that the aliens in this country had de- creased in numbers during the last two years. while, in his view, the provisions of the bill dealing with the right of asy- lum of political and religious refugees was illusory. $sttfa:H4l lrM Premler Balfour pointed out the al iteration of the bill, which, he maintain ed, did not interfere with the right of asylum as it was understood by fha forefathers, and expressly provided that poverty alone should not exclude aliens He said the question Of alien immigration was wholly distinct from the Jewish question as 1t appeared on the continent He agreed that the United States had shown a remarkable power of absorbing men of different nationalities and turning them all by a process of national alchemy into Amer iean citizens; but the absorbing power had limits.
 There were two modern conditions calling for rnodsrn remedies: First, ia cility of transport. and second, the fact that foreign countries, and notably the United States, realize that unrestricted
 immigration might become a great na- tional evil. It must be observed, the
 premier continued. how foreign legisla.
 tion, and especially that of the United
 States has reacted upon Great Britain.
 Many aliens en route to the United
 who were not provided with through
 tickets have remained here, and many of those who reached the United States
 unfit have been returned to this coun- try. Great Britain had become a sort of sieve which let through the fit to America but retained the unfit. Unless something is done Great Britain must rnaain q sieve lii which only the useless drsgs are left.
 Sir Charles Dilke's amendment was rejected, 211 to 59, and the bill was sec Eonded without division.

 My great ambition has been, he added, Ito become q good clinical phy- sician; to build up a great clinic on Teutonic lines, not on the lines of the United States or England, but on the lines of Germany, which is so much in the forefront on the intricate problems of internal medicine .
 We need to change in this country our system of hospital appointments and equipments Then in every town of 5O,000 people a good clinic could be built up. One or two doctors, not a dozen, should govern the hospital"

 St. Petersbnurg, May S.-2:So a. m.- Armed peace prevailed in Poland yes- terday, following Mondays savage eel ebration of May day. Warsaw. sosno- wiec, Lodz, Kalisz and other industrial centers had no repetition of Monday g rioting and bloodshed, but order was maintained only by the strong hand of military force, which Mondays occur rences showed could be relentlessly en,- ployed.
 The first fruits of Mondays sowing IS formidable strike of angry work ment, which is spreading widely, set ting free thousands of employees and in, creasing the difficulty of the authori- ties in preserving order. Long contin- ued industrial troubles, however. have impoverished the Polish Workingnen, and starvation will be an active ally of the government in bringing about a resumption of work.
 The minimum estimates from official sources place the numbers killed and who died in the hospitals as the result of Mondays disturbances as at least fifty, and probably this will be swelled by additions of further deaths to 100 or more.
 The governor of Kalisz has issued a proclamation gravely denying "rumors concerning disturbances at Kalisz on Monday and at the same time exhort- ing the people to be tranquil in order ito ''avaoid frther sacrifice of life.''

BLOOD FLOWS IN CHICAGO
ONE MAN KILLED AND SCORES
 OF OTHERS WOUNDED.
Riots in All Parts of the City-Men CIubbed Within Square os Police Headauarters-Non-Union Men Hope IessIy Outnumbered in Every strug- gle Fight Desperately.


 Chicago, May 2.-The death of one man and the injury of scores of others was the immediate result of to-day's fighting between the striking teamsters and their sympathizers on the one side and the police and the non-union men on the other. There were riots in all parts of the city. Men were cIubbed and stoned almost to death within a square of police headquarters, and five miles away men were shot down in the streets. At a hundred other places there were assaults and fights in the streets. Blood was shed in State street i'll the heartsof the fashionable shopping district and furious riots took place almost in the doorways of the leading hotels. Non-unfon men were pelted with stones, bricks and every other conceive able sort of missiles. They were dragged from their wagons, beaten, clubbed and stamped upon. But for the splendid service rendered by the police the list of dead tonight would be twenty in stead of one.
 s The non-union men, although I1ope- lessly outnumbered in every struggle, fought desperately. Tn several instances they drew their reyolyers and emptied them into the crowds that pressed around their wagons, pslting them with stones and threatening their lives. The colored drivers, especially, were quick with their weapons. Large numbers of non union drivers carried heavy clubs and they swung them with terrific eff feet throughout the day. As far as can be ascertained tonight the list of in jursd numbers in the neigtaborhood of forty, but it is far short of being ac- curate. Many men who were In the mohs that attacked the wagons went down before the clubs of the police and of the wagon guards, but they were carried away by their friends, and there is no chance of learning their names or of even guessing at their number. The outlook for tomorrow is for fighting, and there is not the slightest evidence of the approaching end of the strike.

Czar's Decree Pleases subjects--P Practi-
 caI Evidence os Reform.
 St. Petersburg, May ?. From all parts of the empire come reports of the extreme satisfaction caused by the czar,s grant of freedom of religion, es- pecially as it is regarded as being the first practical evidence that the re- forms rferred to in the imperial mani- festo of December 25 will be carried out. The papers are only printing fly sheets, and have not yet commented editorially on the reform, except the Novosti, the Jewish organ, which pub- fishes a brief, double-leaded expression of gratitude for the gift of liberty of conscience. Coming from the Novosti which only the day previously remark ed bitterly on this very subject that . everything remains as before, that is idoubly significant.
 Expert calculation shows that the peasant debts remitted by the recent imperial decree amount to about s45,- GOO 1000.

Significant Words of New American Ambassador to France.
 Paris, May 2.-Ambassador McCor- mick was received by President Loubet at o'clock to-day with that military pomp which additionally marks an ambassadors first meeting with the head of the republic.
 In presenting his credentials Mir. Me- Cormiek spoke of the century's friend ship uniting France and the United States in an alliance more enduring than that of treaties. He referred also to the recent closer feeling of friend ship between France and the mother country of America. These feelings of friendship, he said, were of the greatest benefit to commercial and pacific inter ests, which are those of the progressive world.
 President Loubet, in replying said France had no prouder heritage than her participation in the work which brought the powerful American nation into being. More than a century's test had not been able to interrupt the friendship first established.
