MOST DISGRACEFUL ACTION

Washington. May 24-(SpeciaD After a short session, during which just that much time was wasted, the conference committee on the quarantine bill ad- journed to the call of the chairman This means that there will not be anoth- CT meeting, and the bill will die in con ference if it's opponents on the committee have their way. The whole proceeding is just trifle more outrageous than any other legislative hold-up attempted in Washington in a long while The bill carries $500 000 to assist the south in keep ing out the dread scourge yellow fever. It was put through the house early in the session by the democratic leader, Rep resentatve Williams. Practically the only opposition it had was from the Texas del- egation. Texas has heretofore escaped the ravages of yellow fever. and through the agency of liberal quarantine laws, has managed to get trade which was shut off from Louisiana. Mississippi, Alabama and other states which have been com pelled to rigidly enforce their quaran- tine laws during the yellow fever epi- demics II is little short of disgraceful that such commercial influence should be exerted when yellow fever is liable to put in an appearance at any time.
 Immigration Bill.
 Through an amendment placed upon the immigration bill by Senator McCreary, the commissioner of immigration is to ap- point commissioner at New Orleans to discharge the same duties of other imml- grafton commissioners at their respective posts.
 The Kentucky senator called the att tention of the Senate to the apparent in- justice now being done the south in the matter of immigration. He referred to the fact that the seven immigration com missioners now stationed throughout the points of entry in the United States were from northern states, and he urged that New Orleans have a commissioner. Sen ator Dillingham;, the chairman of the committee, agreed with Senator McCreary and the amendment was adopted.
