WASHINGTON, d. c., May 25.-
James n. Patten, of Boston, an i'm
migration expert, who, with Jesse
Taylor, of Ohio, has done some effec-
tive work in favor of the restriction
of immigration both with the
tors and representatives as well as
the public in general, is well pleased
with the shape in which the Dilling-
ham bill pasesd the senate. The bill
is similar in nearly every particular
to the bill which Representative
Howell's committee reported favora-
bly,, and which is now in the house
calendar. The Dillingham; bill has
the educational test feature, and this
is one of the points for which the
Junior American Mechanics have
been contending for years. Mr.. Pat
ten, in an interview, said: 81 consid-
err the Dillingham; bill an excellent
measure, and it will be the means of
excluding many hundreds of undesir-
able immigrants who would other
wise be permitted to land in this
country under existing law. l think
the senate is to be congratulated for
disposing of this splendid measure so
speedily, and | am in hopes that the
house of representatives will take
speedy action on this very important
matter"
Charles Smith, of Belleville, has
some decided opinions relative to the
passage of the denaturalized alcohol
bill. In a letter to Senator Dryden,
he expresses himself as follows: 81
wish to state to you as our %represen-
tative, and also in the interest of the
republican party that If this bill
does not pass the senate and become
a law 1t is an open question If the
republican party retains its working
majority in the senate. You may
ask what makes me advance this
opinion. l will tell you. | have just
returned from a trip through the
New England states. My business is
among manufacturers, and they are
strongly in favor of this bill. Many
of them have said they would change
their opinion and their votes if the

The senate has confirmed the nom
nation of ]. Martin Miller as consul
at Rheims, France. Mr.. Miller was
at one time the Washington CORE
spondent of the Evening News at
Newark. He was appointed about a
year ago as consul at AK la Chapelle
but the German government refused
to grant his eXequator. He made a
transfer with William A. Prickitt of
Lower Squankum, after being ap-
pointed to Auckland, New Zealand.
Since the exchange was made the
salary of Mr.. Prickitt was advanced
from $4,000 to $4,000, while that of
Mr.. Miller was advanced from $4,000
to $4,000, so that he loses $500 a
year by the transfer.
