Washington, June 25.-Under
a rule limiting debate on all but
two sections the so-called immi-
grafton bill was discussed for
three hours today in the house
and passed without a yea and
nay vote being permitted on any
of the paragraphs. This bill at
tracted much attention, the rep
resentatives having large foreign
colonies in their districts lining
up generally against the head
tax of $50 0 which was defeated,
and against the educational test.
After a very interesting contest
a substitute for the educational
test providing that the whole mat
ter be submitted to a commission
was adopted by a close vote. The
most important features of the
bill were thus eliminated and
the bill was passed without d.
vision.
Mr.. Dalzell of Pennsylvania,
from the committee on rules,
today reported a rule taking up
the immigration bill. The rule
provides for three hours of de-
bate under the fve-minute rule,
one hour to be devoted to the
consideration Of section / and
two hours to section 8. The pre-.
vious question having been or
dered, Mr.. Dalzell explained the
object Of the rule.
Mr.. DeArmond of Missouri
said this was an illustration Of
the effect of restrictive legisla.
ton. The rule if adopted prohib-
tied a vote on any Of the amend.
ments, but members would be
compelled to vote directly on the
subject.
Mr.. Gardner of Massachusetts
asked if a yea and nay vote
would be permitted on the led
ucational test" which is made a
part of the house substitute. He
was informed by the speaker
that if the rule was adopted there
could be no yea and nay vote, as
the question in issue would be
settled in committee of the whole.
Mr.. Gardner said it was a very
bad rule, which excited consider
able laughter, for until Mr.. De
Almond showed the sweeping
character of the rule, he had de-
clared he was satisfied with the
restrictions. He said that he
had now a very different appre-
citation of statements made about
the capitol and the same state.
ment embodied in a rule. He did
not believe the house would stul-
tify itself by refusing an honest
expression of the educational
clause.
j. S. WILLIAMS TALKS.
1--WE have had an amusing il
lustration of legislation by spe-
cial rule" said Mr.. Williams of
Mississippi. Even the very
sponsor of the bill (Mr. Gardner
of Massachusetts, has had his
eyes opened by the questions
asked by him. The effect of
those questions on the nervous
system of the gentleman from
Massachusetts is about as anus
ing an illustration of the general
system of legislation by rule as
anything that has ever occurred
in the house except the speakers
reply to the gentleman's ques-
ton when he said everything was
all right"
Mr.. Williams further said that
the gentleman from Massachu-
sets was having his idols shat
tered so far as be believed in the
integrity of treatment received
in the committee of the whole.
He was learning that in the COM
mittee of the whole a man would
vote one way when no record
was kept of his vote and vote in
a wholly different manner on a
yea and nay vote.

 Charleston, S. C.. MarcN 21.-The American steamer Cristobal Colon which came into this port some days ago with machinery disabled sailed for Batabano, Cuba, tonight and upon ar rivel will take up regular run be- tween that port and the Isle of Pines. T. J. Keenan, of Philadelphia, President of the Isle of Pines Steamship Com pany, is on board and said today that he had received notice from the Cuban Treasury Department to register in Cuba. This he did not propose to do.
 The Colon owners" he said today before sailing. claim the right to run between Batabano and the Isle of Pines under General Woods military regula- tions. which were subsequently, made Cuban law by agreement with the United States American ships have the same rights as native vessels in Cuban waters. Disregarding this law, the Cuban Treasury Department insists that the Colon must have Cuban regis try and fly the Cuban flag"
 The owners have appealed to the State Department at Washington. It IS a mater of immense concern to ship ping interests in the West Indies and the result of the affair is anxiously awaited.

Leaders of the Negroes Kick Against Handling 200 Pound sacks of Fer z tilizer--Boats Are Compelled

Advertiser Bureau.

Advertiser Bureau,
 Mobile. March q.
 Will the steamboat owners and oper- ators or the negro roustabouts win out? is the all important question along the river front just now In fact the uues- ton has reached the serious stage.
 The boats on the two rivers have concentrated interests and thus far, with the promise of holding out, have made a determined stand against the demands of the negro roustabouts. Good wages have been paid the negroes all through the winter season, they receiving s2 day and food. Many of the negroes willingly accepted this scale and the boats had no difficulty in securing crews
 Dissension broke out recently. some of the loud mouthed, alleged leaders of the roustabouts using arguments fav- bring an advance of the scale One of their arguments was against the 900 pounds sacks of fertilizer. The success of the leaders was paramount when on last Saturday night three steamers, loaded and ready to leave on their up- river trips, with many passengers aboard were forced to tie up. Two got away Sunday. while the other only suc- ceeded in getting away Monday. Last night the Liberty, for Demopolis and other points. with a. heavy deck and two barge loads of freight and very large passenger list, was ready to leave at o'clock. The roustabouts hung back and refused to go for $2 per diem. demanding Ss. This was refused and the boat tied up and the passengers cared for. This morning the same con- dition prevailed and the owners de- clared that rather than pay the ad- vance. they would discharge the cargo and tie up.

Paris alone would have to face an an
nual deficit Of Its, 900 francs, which did
not include the expenses Of the seminary,
sllbventions to neighboring congregations
and the contribution of the Paris COM
munity to the general expenses Of the
upkeep Of public Jewish worship IN
France These items would amount col
lectively to at least 100000 francs

they had no desire to separate themselves
from the official community, but at the
same time they wished that their views
as to reforms in the synagogue should be

sistoire shall prepare a scheme for the
future government Of the community,
