The Massachusetts, man, with his APP

IMMIGRATION BILL MODIFIED.
Congressman Bennett Cheers O Meeting NJ

uiC LCobuNs
Carl Hauser Of Puck told O mass meeting
Of the New Immigrants Protective League
in Cooper Union last night how a bowling
dog on Staten Island was one time the
object Of his envy It was thirty-one years
ago when Hauser, then an immigrant
with hope in his heart and 2S cents in his
pocket, awaited in quarantine the dawn
ing Of the first day Of liberty.
Lucky dog" thought Hauser. He hss
q home and understands English"
If the spirit which prompts the oppo-
sition to the immigrants Of to-day said
MIR. Hauser, had been in the breasts OF
the Indians when the first immigrants
came over in the Mayfower we would all
be wearing blankets and our names would
be Spotted Tail, Ginger Hiehball or Ram
In the Face"
Congressman william S. Bennett Of the
Seventeenth district revealed a House com
mittee secret. He said that the provision
in the pending legislation against the lnfuN
OF aliens compelling the $40 in pocket status
OF all prospective entrants hEd been knocked
out in the House Committee on lmmigrs-
ton within the last week. This was the re-
suit Of the violent protest against the meas,
ure In question on the part Of immigrants
protective leagues in Boston and New
York. Congressman Bennett pledged the
united support Of all the New York delega-
ton In the Housed In the fight for the eradica-
ton OF the educational and m onev quail

Colonel Guffey for a Free Convention.

~
There is something fine about the
abnegation OF Colonel jim GUFFEY Of
Pennsylvania, who sees two Republican
candidates for Governor in the field and
a Prohibition candidate in the person Of
State Treasurer BERRY, but refuses to
take advantage of the situation.
Colonel GuFFRY declines to be con-
sidered the Democratic boss Of Pennsyl-
vania-it is honor enough for him to be
a member of the national committee.
He has declared for a free convention,
will keep his hands off and allow the
people, as represented by delegates Of
their choice, to do anything they please.
There will be no slate presented to the
State convention by me or by any one
else" says Colonel GUFFEY. Il have
no favorite for any Of the nominations
to be made, and do not intend to inlu-
ence the action of the delegates He
merely INDUCES the hope that they will
see the point and, disregarding the con
fusion in the Republican ranks. NOM
mate a ticket of their own.
The Lincoln Republicans nave named
LEWIS EMERY, Jr., a stalwart enemy Of
the trusts after Colonel GuFFEY's heart;
and the candidate of the Republican
organization is ex-Mayor EDWIN S.
STUART Of Philadelphia, an estimable
gentleman whom Colonel GuFFEY would
vouch for at any time He would like
to see the Democrats put up a candidate
equally worthy Of the good opinion Of
everybody. Why not?
In q State 90 well supplied with inhab-
itants q candidate mor or less does not
matter, and pride Of party may be oon-
doned. When thoroughly aroused, Penn
sylvania can tally an amazing total.

The Struggle Between the Dunla and
the Gar.

Although Premier GoREMYRIN's resig-
nation was officially denied on Sunday,
there seems to be no doubt that the
Cabinet, Of which he has been the head,
will either retire collectively or be recon-
structed without much delay. This
week, therefore, is likely to prove a cru
cial one in the fortunes Of the Romanoff
dynasty.
Is it too late for the Car to correct
the. grave mistake committed in pro-
mitigating, two or three days before
the meeting of the Duma, a so-called
Fundamental Law, the obvious purpose
Of which was To minimize the powers OF
that assembly? No wonder that, after
his masters intention was made known
to him, Count WITTR resigned and
fastened to quit Russia. He at least
had the ~sagacity to see that, confronted
as his country is with urgent agrarian
and financial problems, the cordial sup
port OF the peoples elected representa-
tiyes is indispensable to the sovereign.
II the land hunger of the stinted peasants
ia TO be appeased without Wholesale
c%onfscation, and If Russie's credit is
to be maintained on foreign stock ex-
changes, it was as patent to Count WITTE
six weeks ago as it is now to almost all
onlookers that the Governments land
purchase scheme together with its past
and prospective loans, must secure the
endorsement of the national assembly.
1t should have been equally clear to the
Cars trusted counsellors that in view
of the feverish condition Of the popular
mind that Endorsement ought to be OBJ
tanned with all possible promptness.
Instead of showing themselve alive
to the critical situation, the Gar and his
present advisers have been guilty Of
almost every error Of commission and
omission short of a dispersal Of the
D,pna by force, They have paid no
attention to the assembly's vote Of
want of confidence in the Goremyhn
. Ministry, and have thus far refused TO
substitute a Cabinet responsible to the
peoples representatives. They haye De.
