Immigration SERVICE
may REGISTER ALIENS

A. Warner Parker Of the United
States bureau of immigration. told the
Boston Chamber of Commerce the 9TH
er day that the bureau has drafted
tentative immigration laws which will
have a number Of radical provisions
regarding the admission and. stay of
aliens in this country. The three
main features are:
Registration of all aliens now in
the United States or who are to apply
for admission hereafter;
Making the admission of in1mi-
grants provisional or probationary
during their stay in this country: and
Changing the burden of proof OF
requirements for admission, so that
it will be incumbent upon aliens to
prove their fitness for admission ratf1-
err than upon the government to prove
their unf1tness. as at present.
"Under this law said Mr.. Parker,
"new immigrants will be registered
upon arrival in this country. They
will also be required to report when
they move from one immigration dis
trict to another. The percentage OF
immigrants who will be excluded from
the country under this legislation will
probably be much greater than the
or 4 per cent which have been. ex-
cluded heretofore"

JOHN HAY AND THE SENATE.

The autobiography Of John Hay,
President McKinley's great Secretary
of State, is interesting reading, and
some of the things he wrote years
ago are just as true. now. For. in
stance. OIL April "a, 1900, he wrote
to Richard Watson Glider: 1.-The
fact that a treaty gives to. the coun-
try great lasting advantage seems
to weigh nothing whatever in the
minds of about half the senators.
Personal interests, personal spites
and contingent chance Of a petty
political advantage are the only mo-
tives that cut any ice at present.
A little'later, when considering his
retirement because of senate action,
he wrote: Il shall be sorry to part
with the President (Mr. Mckinley
who has stood nobly by me in every
thing, but there will always be "a
per cent Of the senate on the black
guard side of every question that
comes before them
Mr.. Hay >humorously summed up
his opinion of the senate as a. treaty
making power thus: "A treaty enter
ing the senate is like a bull going
into the arena--no one can say just
how or when the final blow will fall
but one thing is certain--it will
never leave the arena alive"
