BARTHOLDT OPENS DEBATE.

Aimed at the Canadian Frontier.
Other Interesting 'Gossip. of
the National Capital.
WASHINGTON, May 20.-—Befcre the de-
bate on the immigration bills began in
the house today some minor business was
transacted. The resolution reported by
the committee on elections No. 1, direct-
ing the sergeant-at—arms to summon the
clerks of the courts of the counties in the
Sixteenth Illinois district to appear in
Washington with the ballots of the last
congressional election for the purpose of a
recount in the Rinaker~Downing contest-
ed electicn case, was adopted.
The report in the case of Danny versus
Owens, from the Seventh Kentucky dis-
trict, confirming the sitting member’s title
to his seat, was also adopted.
At 12:80 p. m. the debate on the immi-
gration bills was opened by Mr. Bartholdt
(Rep, Mo.), chairman of the immigration
committee, under the special order adopted
yesterday, setting aside today and tomor-
row for their consideration. The bills
were four in number. One, knpwn vari—
ously as the Bartholdt, McCall or Lodge
bill, provided an educational test. It ex-
cluded all male persons between 16 and 60
years of age who cannot read and write
English or some other language. An-
other, the Stone bill, provided for the in-
spection of immigrants by our consular
officers and their certification that the im-
migrants do not belong to any of the
classes of immigrants excluded by existing
contract labor or other immigration laws.
This bill was offered as an amendment to
the Bartholdt-McCall bill.
The Corliss bill, offered as a substitute,
applied wholly to the Canadian border and
made it unlawful for any alien to enter
the United States, except to teach new
arts or industries, and engage in any me-
chanical trade or manual labor. The pro-
visions of the bill do not apply to sailors
on the great lakes. The Mahany bill, also
Offered as a substitute, made all contracts
by aliens to perform labor in the United
States illegal. It also makes it a misde‘
manner for any person to perform labor
in the United States who has become a
citizen of the United States and returned
to a foreign country to make that his
home. These provisions strike at the con-
ditions on the» Canadian border.
The bill also provided for a more vigor-
ous enforcement of the existing immigra-
tion laws and provided for a head tax of
50 cents on every alien entering the Unit-
ed States.
In the Senate.
In the senate today a joint resolution
was passed, authorizing the secretary of
War to have repaired the damages done by
recent freshets -on' the Kcnnebec (Ma)
river, out of an appropriation on hand.
Mr. Bacon (Dem., Ga.) offered a resolu-
tion, which was referred, for the loan of
exhibits from , the various government de-
partments and Smithsonian institution
to the Southern States exposition at Chi-
cago from August to November, 1896.
The house amendment, fixing the pen-
sion of the widow of General Thomas
Ewing at $75, Was agreed to. ..
The District of Columbia appropriatio
bill was then taken up.
Shortly after the reading of the bill be-
gan a terrific rainstorm broke over the
capitol. The senators were first startled
by a report like the discharge of a heavy
gun on the roof. Then torrents of rain
swept across the roof, forcing a way
through the glass ceiling until the senate
chamber was filled with a thick mist, and
large drops fell on the desks of senators.
