 Senator Scott combined in his re- marks the two subjects of immigra tion and naturalization. He took the opinion that the laws on both sub jects are inadequate and should be re- vised Of immigration he said many of the acquisitions are undesirable and that this low grade element Is constantly increasing.
 He would therefore have much more stringent regulations than at present for the restriction of the number and an improvement of the clas and when the ignorant and vicious Immigrants arrive, would extend the restrictions so as to not to make 1t SO easy for them to secure the elective franchise. He declaped that very few of these people vcte their own sentiments. but that most of them are the mere tools of po- llticai machines. He asserted that many foreigners who come to the United States do so only for the purpose of be- coming naturalized that they may ba protected against the laws of theiS own country when they return to It.
 The bill was then read through and the amendments suggested by the com mittee accepted without opposition un- til the last one was reached ThlG was a provision for supplying informa- tion to immigrants concernig ths various States and permitting any State to make an exhibit at any immigrant station. It was late in the day when this provision was reached, and it be- ing evident that much objection would be made to it. further consideration was postponed until tomorrow,

IMMIGRATION BILL
MEASURE CONSIDERED BY THE
 SENATE.
McCreary Urges Regulation so As ts COnfine Acquisitions Only to the Worthy. Scott Includes Naturalization in His
 Remarks.

Washington, May 22.-The Senate de- voted the greater part of the days session to consideration of the immi- grafton bill. but before 1t was taken up, Senator McCumber- made a per- sonal statement contradicting an arti- cle in The New York Tribune to the effect that the railroad rate bill had been so amended at hls instance as to render it ineffective. Previous to that time also the Senate adopted a resolu- tion directing the committee on privi- leges and elections to consider the course to be pursued in the case of Senator Burton. Speeches on the i'm migration bul were made by Senator Patterson and others. The bill was still under consideration when the Senate adjourned.
 Senator Patterson said in reply to Mir Bacon that but for the contract labor law immigrant laborers would be brought into the country to take the places of the striking coal miners and expressed apprehension that people al- lowed to enter as farm laborers would turn to other occupations which give more continued employment at better wages Hence. he contended that the
 restrictions should not be removed, but rather that they should be en- forced.
 Senator McCreary made set speech in support or the pliAS urging the ioeN lation of immigration so as to con fine our acquisitions only to the wor- thy. The present increase. he eharac- terized as startling-the immigration
 for the past year numbering as many
 as for the entire first l60 years of the history of the country. At the pres ent date only four generations would
 be necessary to bring the population of the country up to the density or
 China He called attention to the in- crease in recent years Of the lmnh-
 grants from Southeastern Europe and to the falling off from Southwestern
