washington. June 5-(Special. )-Speaker

pronounced majority of the House and
will allow the immigration bill to come
mn for consideration as soon as the sundry
civil hill is disposed of. The appropria-
ton bill will be taken up within rev

fion bill will Immediately follow II ana Do
passed after few days debate. only
two members of the committee are op-
posed to the bill-Bennett and Rupert OF
New York. They today filed minority
report against the measure In discussing
the matter Representative Bennett says:
ut was not demonstrated from any
source that there is yet need or restric-
tion In proportion there are fewer immi-
grants coming today than came between
1870 and 1860. The hue and cry was far
greater than it is now, but yet the I'M
migrants of that generation and their de-
scendants have become among the best
of our citizens. So 1t will prove with
those now coming
Representative Burnett of Alabama Is
of the committee and has given
much attention to the subject during this
session. He is strongly in favor of the
bill which he believes will restrict I'M
desirable immigration.

WELLMAN LECTURES
ON HIS ARCTIC TRIP
Claims Climate Up There Is Better
Adapted to Alrshp Travel Than
That of Europe.

Paris, June 5. Walter Wellman. the
American Arctic explorer, lectured to-
night before the French Meteorological So
eiety. He presented the greetings of Pro-
fessor Willis L. Moore of Washington
chief of the United States weather bu-
reau.
The lecturer declared that his expedi-
ton was the first one based on study of
Arctic meteorology. The problem of aerial
navigation, he said, had been solved and
the limitations of speed and distances
overcome by means of prudence and car
rying big cargo of petroleum on board
strong airship. The Arctic region, Mr.
Wellman declared was more favorable to
airship work than France or the United
States because of the consistency of the
temperature about zero and continuous
daylight and also because OF the prac-
ticability of using guide ropes and other
drag anchors. The Wellman expedition
he said, will utilize the true seamanship
of the aerial sea, and not depend on a
raft. as Address did in his aerial at
tempt.

Number and Character of the
Bills Passed.

Washington, June SIN many partic-
ulars today was a red letter day in the
House, not only in the number of bills
passed but in the general character of
the legislation enacted. What bid fair
to cause endless trouble, the naturaliza-
ton bill. was passed under suspension of
the rules. the speaker and the gentleman
in charge of the bill, Mr.. Bonynge of
Colorado, doing work of a superior kind.
The House refused to pass a bill leas-
ing to a private firm or a corporation
the right to mine coal on the island of
Batan in the Philippines, although it
was stated that such a lease would de-
crease the amount paid by the govern
ment very considerably.
For two hours the House worked under
suspension of the rules, and then the
rest of the day was taken up with the
passage of bills by unanimous consent.

To Protect Immigrants.

Washington. June 5.--If the representa-
tves of the Italian government in this
country can prevent 1t. no immigrant
from Italy to the United States VII hence
forth fall into the hands of padrones or
bosses of bad character. Every effort
will be made to see that these immigrants
will be met on arrival and directed to
those sections of the country holding out
inducements to the homeseeker and in
other ways substantial assistance will be
rendered to give them a proper start.
Through Adolofo Rossi travelling inspec-
tor of the Royal Immigration office. the
bureau of immigration has been advised
of the establishment in New York of the
labor information office for italians. 1t is
represented that although the office has
been established but a month, positions
have been secured for 700 Italians out of
1900 applicants, and $4,000 has been spent
in laying the foundation of the institution,
while $50, 900 Is available

SAYS WAGES ARE
TOO LOW IN SOUTH
And That is What Keeps Immi-
grants Away
ELLIS ISLAND is VISITED
Officers Are Elected BY the Southern
States immigration Commission
at Meeting Held In
New York.
ELLIS ISLAND is VISITED

New York, June 5-The members of the
Southern States immigration commission
inspected the immigration station on Ellis
Island today on invitation of Immigra-
ton Commissioner Watchorn In the
course of an address to the commission
ers Mr.. Watchorn said
Immigrants who arrive here are for
northern points, and If you were to try
and steer them for their several points
they would think you were bunco men.
Unless the wages Of the south are brought
up to the standard of the north, you can
not expect immigrants to go south and
IL you did get them to go they would
not stay. because they would probably
hear from their relatives in the north who
were making more money"
This statement caused surprise among
members of the commission, who seemed
to be under the impression that immi-
grants have no special destination, and
would gladly accept any proposition which
was made to them. In order that the COM
mission might be convinced, Commissioner
Watchorn allowed Chairman James E.
Graybill to question several of the immi-
grants. OF the half dozen or more ques-
toned, not one would consent to abandon
that place he was bound for and go south.
A resolution was introduced before the
commission by Max Robinson requesting
Congress to allow the importation of la
borers by employers. the contracts be-
tween such laborers and their employers
to be filed with the government at the
port of entry, and the wages to be not less
than the recognized standard of the local
ity in which the work is to be done
The resolution was referred to the ex-
ecutive committee, as 1t was deemed I'M
wise to make such a drastic proposition
at this time.
The election of permanent officers of
the commission resulted as follows:
President, T, K. Bruner of North Caro-
lima
Vice President. D. w coons of Ken
lucky.
Secretary and treasurer, David Robin
son of Georgia.
After the regular meeting the executive
committee held meeting at which ar
rangements were made for the immedi-
ate establishment of a bureau in New
York to carry forward the work outlined
in securing and directing desirable i'm
migrants to the south.
David Robinson was chosen commission
err in charge of the bureau. and he said
work would begin Immediately.

STEVENS TELLS WHY
He FAVORS LOCKS
Sea Level Canal Would be
Deep, Narrow Canyon
CURRENT WOULD BE STRONG
Chief Engineer Says He Has Seen But
Two Mosquitoes on the lsthmus
Since March is.
This Year.

Washington. June 5.-The House COM
mittee on interstate and foreign COM
merce today heard Chief Engineer Stevens
of the Isthmian canal commission regard
Ing engineering problems on the Isthmus
of Panama.
Mr.. Stevens gave in detail the reasons
of his conversion from sea level advocate
to a lock canal enthusiast. He said the
popular impression of a sea level canal
was that when it was constructed per-
son could stand at one end of it and look
along the surface of the canal from ocean
to ocean. AS a matter of fact If the sea
level type of canal should be built, he
said, it would be more in the nature of
sewer" 1t would be a narrow channel
deep down in narrow canons; 1t would
have a strong current and in his opinion
there would be no way to divert the tor
rnets of the Chagres river, or at least
this question was the one engineering
problem of the isthmus which far over
topped all others. This river, If turned
into a sea level canal. he believed, would
render it non-navigable If it did not
completely destroy 1t.
Favor Two Dams.
At the afternoon session of the COM
mittee Mr.. Stevens explained in detail
what is known as the s5-foot level type
of canal This contemplates building
dam at Gatun on the Atlantic side and
at Iaboca on the Pacific side, backing
up the waters of the two watersheds and
thus avoiding digging or dredging for
total of twentyeight miles of the dis
lance. This type of canal. he said, could
be built in eight years. Time is being
lost on the isthmus, he said, because the
type of canal to be built has not been
decided upon.
Mr.. Stevens has never been satisfied
with labor conditions on the isthmus. He
would have three or four nationalities
there. He would like to have some Chi
nese, but supposed this would require Leg
islation. He now has an agent in Madrid
endeavoring to get Spanish laborers. His
present labor roll amounts to 10000 names
and the maximum required Is estimated
at between $4,000 and $4,000. There are no
laborers there from the United States.
1t is impossible to take advantage of
the abrogation of the eight-hour law, he
said, because it was applicable only to
alien laborers and 95 per cent of the fore
men and superintendent are Americans.
The result is that the gangs of laborers
cannot be left to work by themselves
after the eight-hour day has expired
Sanitation on the isthmus, he said. Is
strictly enforced. The percentage of sick
ness during the past few months was but
thirteen to the thousand. He said that
since he moved to Culebra, March 49, last
he has seen but two mosquitoes 1t Is
not mosquito country. he declared to
the extent the United States is
