Are Reported.
_""orEN DEBATE” MEN HAPPY.
They Poke Fun at Their Opponents In
the Senate—The Conference Report
on the Immigration Bill Goes
Through In the House.
WASHINGTOX, Feb. 10. —Thc credentials
of Senator Jones of Nevada, presented to
the senate today, have a 1111' go seal of silver
instead of the usual golden seal of the
state.
A privileged resolution was presented
by Mr. Hoar and agreed to fixing 12: 50 p.
m. as’ the time when the senate would
} 1'oceed to the chamber of the house of rcp-
resentatives to1n01 row to par ticipate 1n the
counting of the electoral vote
A. resolution was agreed to recalling
f1 om the president the bbill amending the
timber culture law 5 for the purpose of cor
lectlng an error.
The bill was passed to aid in the im-
provemcnt of the navigable channel of the
South pass by closing the existing crevasse
in Pass L Outre, in the Mississippi river.
The routine business was cleared away
by 12: 35 p. 111., and, on motion of Mr.
Sherman, the senate went into executive
session.
The senate went into executive session
on motion of Senator Sherman, chairman
of the committee on foreign relations.
While the main purpose of the session was
to consider the Anglo- -American arbitra-
tion treaty, the ca rly part of it we 5 devot-
ed to nominations on the regular calendar.
The question of the publicity that was
given to 3 estcrday’ s p1 OLecdmos in execu-
tive session formed the first topic of dis
cussion.
The senators who voted for open doors
made humorous speeches, in which they
said that it would be better to have the
treaty considered in public, and there.
would then be no question of leaks.
When the preliminaries had been dis-
posed of, Senator Morgan resumed his
speech, which he had begun yesterday in
opposition to the treaty. He was followed
by Mr. Stewart, who also took strong
ground against ratification of the treaty in
its present fonn, intimating oppositio h {c
it in any £01m
In the House.
Immediately af ter the reading of the
journal in the house today Mr. Danford
(Rep, 0. ) called up the conference report
on the immigration bill.
Mr. Danford immediately demanded the
previous question. A number of members,
including Mr. Mahany (Rep, N. Y. ), pro-
tested against cutting off debate, but the
house sustained tl 1c demand—95 to 13.
Under the rules 20 minutes was allowed
on each side for debate, and Mr. Mahany
took the floor in opposition to the report.
He said that the zeal which characterized
the friends of this indefensible measure
was intemperatc. The bill would effect a
sweeping change in the immigration pol-
icy of the Unite-:1 States. It would close
the doors against men of clear minds,
, healthy bodies and sturdy patriotism who
desired to cast their lot with the people of
the new world.
If this bill had been in existence 100
years ago, a majority of the members of
the house would not only not be here as
representatives of the people, but would
not in all probability today be citizens of
the United States.
Mr. Bart-holdt (Rep, Mo), who oppos-
ed the first conference report, expressed his
extreme gratification at the turn things
had taken, which, he said, enabled him to
subscribe heartily to this report. The ob-
jectionable features of the former bill,
against which he had contended, had, he
said, all been eliminated.
Mr. Keifcr (Rep, Minn), as showing
the fact that immigration should be en-
couraged rather than restricted, read some
resolutions adopted by various bodies of
his state calling for immigrants. He said
there were 5,000,000 acres of land in Min-
nesota which never had felt a plow.
Mr. McCall (Rep, Mass.) concluded the
debate with a two minute speech in favor
of the report, in the course of which, in
reply to Mr. Mahany’s statements, he
pointed out that the Republican party, in
placing this bill on the statute books, was
redeeming , a pledge it had made to the
people.
,.
An Overwhelming Victory.
. The vote was then taken. The majori-
ty in favor of the adoption of the report
" on the rising vote was overwhelming—162
to lei—but Mr. Mahany and the handful
of opponents of the report succeeded in se-
curing t-hc ycas and Days.

A. Managu- of Bruisers Tells W’hat a Bad
City New York 15.
CARSON CITY, Nev. , Feb. 10.—W. K.
Wheelock, Dan Stuart’s agent, while
speaking of the attitude of New York on
the Nevada glove contest law, said:
“The stand taken by the people of saint-
ed Gotham on prizefights is worse than
ridiculous. The place recently alluded to
in congress as the ‘ Manhattan reservation.’
is the greatest cesspool of vice in America.
If they would pause in their career of in-
iquity and vice long enough to end a
few genuine prizefights, it woul take
their attention away from the teeming li-
ccntiousness of their lives and renovate
their morals. Look at the Secley dinner
episode. Nothing as scandalous could ever
happen in any of the western states. Did
you ever hear of a dinner being given in
Nevada that the police had to interrupt? I
guess not. But let me tell you that this
was only a mild incident. At some of
those dinners given by the swells of Goth-
am, who hold up their hands at prize-
fights, things are done that no gentleman
would desciibe in a westein bairoom. If
I attempted to desc1 1bc them to a crowd of
cowboys in a barloom, they would march
out in disgust. Would you take a lady to
one of those dinners? Hardly. But a lady
can attend the coming glove contest, and,
while she may see a good deal to shook her
nerves, she will see nothing to shock her
modesty.”

Plucky llIail Clerk Killed One of the Bob-
bers and the Other Escaped.
Los ANGELES, Feb. 10.—Two masked
robbers held up the Santa Fe west bound
train at a point a few miles from Peach
Springs, A. T.
The train was stopped by means of a
red' light. The engineer was covered with
a revolver in the hand of one of the rob—
bers, who ordered him to keep quiet. The
other robber then uncoupled the mail and
express car, and with his companion got
aboard the locomotive and ordered the en-
gineer to run up the road a bit.
Here the train was stopped and the rob- '
bers proceeded to open the door of the mail
car. The door was opened by a mail clerk,
who with a 1"e3 olvcr shot one of the rob-
bers, killing him instantly. The other
robber, after seizing a bundle of registered
letters, made good his escape. The dead
robber was taken to Peach Springs.
To Rectify Religious Corporations Law.
ALBANY, Feb. 10.—-Scnator Ford has in—
troduced a bill to repeal and change cer-
tain features of the revised 1eligious cor-
porations law, which was amended last
year to allow certain Congregationalist
and Baptist societies to take charge of the
property of defunct churches. The law of
last year merely intended to provide that
this should be done after a. church had
failed for two years to hold services. Cer—
tain other words descriptive of the societies
and their province has now been construed
to give said societies a governing power
over independent church organizations,
and the Congregationalists and Baptists
have been greatly alarmed. Senator Ford’s
bill will rectify the mistake.

LONDON, Feb. 10.-—Mr. Thomas Sexton

the Irish party must have better discipline
before anything worth laboring for can be
obtained from the house of commons, even
for the most palpable grievances ‘of Ire-
land. ”

DEATH OF FRANK MAY.
The Ext-Manager of the Bank of England
Passes Away In London.
LONDON, Feb. 10.——Frank May, formerly
chief cashier and practically manager of
the Bank of England until he resigned in
1893, is dead. -
The resignation of Mr. Frank May as
chief cashier of the Bank of England, an-
nounced on Nov” 10, 1893, caused quite a
stir in financial circles in Great Britain.
Mr. May had held the office for 20 years.
His father was junior partner of the firm
of Coleman & May, stock brokers, who
were connected with. several trust com-
panies which collapsed toward the end of
1893. It was reported aft-er Mr. May’s
resignation that the Bank of England had
advanced large sums of money on the se-
curities of these companies, but the report
was never verified, and it was denied that
the Bank of England sustained heavy
losses in consequence of their failure. The
reason given for requesting the resignation
of Mr. May was that he had induced the
bank to engage in transactions which
were not in accordance with the old tradi-
tions of the Bank of England, and it was
stated that the losses sustained did not ex-
ceed £25,000.
Mr. May was succeeded as chief cashier
by Mr, Horace George Bowen, then the
chief aCcountant. A report was circulated
after Mr. May’s retirement that he "had
been made the scapegoat for the irregulari-
ties of certain directors and that it was on
their initiative that he accepted doubtful
securities.
French Press Less \Varlike.
PARIS, Feb. 10.—-The Paris newspapers
have begun to discuss the Anglo-Egyptian
situation with more. moderation than hith-
erto. .
Le Soleil said today: "England does
not heed the vain protests of France, know-
ing that they will not be followed by re-
sults. Let us therefore utilize the tcrri~
tories which France already possesses.
Le Dixnc uvieme Siccle said. “Diplo-
macy is uselL ss unless France makes up
her mind to enforce her claims by a resort
to arms. ”
Hanna. and the Senatorship.
CAx'rox, 0., Feb. 10.—It is rumored

a few days ago. The letter followed the
receipt by the governor of a note from
Senator Sherman intimating his resigna-
tion.
