Other amendments were offered and

Ian, who sought TO include a clause
which would have prevented the natu-

by Senator Colt Or. -. who said this

Senator Harrison sought to lower the
percentage still further by having X ap-
ply to those who are naturalized aliens
rather than merely resident aliens This
would have cut the percentage TO less
than 1 per cent. The plan was rejected
without a roll call.
The bill provides that the Secretaries

New York Herald Bureau,
Washington. ID. C.. Feb. 10. !


Washington. ID. G., Feb. 10. !
The Senate to-day by the over
whelming vote OF 81 TO passed legis-
lation that will permit maximum an
nual foreign immigration to the United
States of 355,461 persons. Senators
France (Md.) and Reed (Mo) cast the
only votes against it. Prior to the
final vote the Senate refused, 43 to 10,
to accept the so-called Johnson bill
passed by the House.
The principle on which immigration
Is to be regulated under the bill is that
only per cent. "of the number of for
eign born persons OF any nationality
resident in the United States as de-
termined by the United States census
Of 1910" shall be admitted in any one
year. The Senate immigration Com
nittee favored per cent, which
would have admitted about 900
persons annually.
Without a roll call the Senate to-
day finally adopted the per cent.
basis after Senator Harrison Miss
had tried TO have It fixed at per cent.
or 2 per cent. II is understood that
the per cent. finally agreed to was
compromise between those who
wanted per cent. and those who
wanted complete restriction for a year,
While there was a perfunctory argu-
ment made for the per cent figure. n
roll call was not insisted upon.
