I The House begran consideration of the
Immigration bill yesterday. The prin
cipal speech was made by Shattuc (Rep.
Ohio), chairman of the committee on
Immigration. Her was especially severe
In his condemnation of the manner in
which Immigrants are Introduced
through Canada and by Canadian rail
ways and steamship companies. Under
wood Dem. Ala.) gave notice of an
amendment to provide an educational
test, and much of the discussion during
the day was upon this subject.
"WASHINGTON", May ZL The House
today received official notification of the
exercises attending the unveiling of the
itatue of Marshal de O&ochambeau in
Washington on Saturday next. On mo
tion of Payne (Rep. ;N. Y.) the House
agreed -to adjourn over from Friday to
Monday In order to take part in the ex
ercises. A bill was passed providing that the
statutes of limitations of the several
btates shall appiy as a defense to actions
brought in any court for the recovery
cf iand patents under the treaty of May
In, 1S54, between the United States of
America and the Shawnee tribe of In
uians. Other bills were passed as follows:
Granting homesteaders on the abandoned

amie military reservations, Wyoming
tne right to purchase one-quarter section
ci pub.ic land on said reservations as pas
taie or grazing lands; to authorize the

torIze the sale of a part of the Fort Nio
t.iara reservation in Nebraska; to regu
ute commutation for good conduct of
Lnited btates prisoner's; granting to thfe
j. A. R. the right to bo quartered In the
ulitinlsned Government Printing Office
during the conling National encampment;
butaorlzlng the banta Fe Railroad Com
pany to tell or lease Its property and
iranchise.
A resolution was agreed to requesting
the Secretary of the .Isavy for correspond
ence With Rear-Admiral Kempf, connect
ed with the bombardment of the Takur
forts in China.
The House agreed to the resolution seat
ing Charles K. Thomas from the Third
lorth Carolina district; also Seating Em
mett Tompkins from the Twelfth Ohio
district, whose seat was contested by
John J. Lentz; also confirming the right
of Rhea, of the Ninth Virginia district.
The Immigration bill then was taken up
under a special rule giving it the right of
way. The measure is entitled: "To regu
late the comlng-of alien immigrants into
tne United States." It was reported from
tne committee on immigration after ex
tended .Hearings and consideration.
Shattuc opened the debate with a
speech, elaborately presenting the various
Immigration problems and explaining the
corrective purposes of this bill. In part
he said:
"There has arisen a demand, growing
more and more Insistent, that restrictive
measures should be enacted to regulate
the influx and sift the quality of the In
coming aliens. The testimony Is over
whelming as to the volume of undesira
ble Immigration now being admitted. The
demand for effective restriction Is uni
versal and imperative."
Shattuc spoke of the great number of
immigrants coming In by way of Canada,
and said:
"The Immigration laws of this country
are flagrantly violated. The Canadian
steamship agencies In Europe do not hes
itate to advertise openly and guarantee
to their passengers that they shall be
safely delivered In the United States and
no questions asked. If they will only take
passage via Canada. It can be proved
that one of the Canadian railways is in
the Chinese passenger traffic regularly
and Is assisting the smugglers by stop
ping its passenger trains several miles
outside of a certain city and discharging
the Chinese in .the country, where wagons
built especially for the purpose take whole
gangs over the border under cover of
night, and In this way thousands of
Chinese enter the United States annually.
This open discrimination In favor of Ca
nadian steamship companies and Cana
dian railroads, as against our own rail
roads and steamships, landing at our
shores, should not be longer permitted.
In explaining the exclusion section Shat
tuc said it embraced, besides paupers,
insane persons, eta, the following: Polyg
amlst, anarchists or persons who believe
in or advocate the overthrow by force or
violence of all government or" of all forms
of law or the assassination of public
officials; prostitutes and persons who at
tempt to bring in prostitutes or women
for the purpose- of prostitution; persons
whose Immigration to the United States
has been Induced by offers, solicitations,
promises of agreements, parole or special,
express or implied, promise of labor or
work or service of any klnd in the United
States; and also any person whose ticket
or passage Is pajd for with the money of
another, or who is assisted by others to
come.
To "Watson's Inquiry as to why an edu
cational test t as not provided. Shattuc
urged that that had better come In with
an independent measure.
Bartholdt (Rep. Mo.) asked how anarch
ists wjould be detected as such.
"Just as you seek to detect a bad
woman by asking questions, answered
Shattuc.
Underwood (Dem. Ala.) gave notice of
an amendment embodying an educational
test for Immigrants.
Kleberg (Dem. Tex.) opposed the educa
tional test as one likely to bar immigrants
accustomed to manual labor, which was
one of the most desirable classes for the
development of the country.
Grosvenor (Rep. O.) opposed the educa
tional test. He said the crimes committed
against the governments of the world for
the past century by reason of removing
the rulers of those governments were
committed 'by educated men.
Robinson (Dem. Ind.) made a plea for
a better condition of affairs In Indian
Territory, a condition which, lie said, was
a blot on the escutcheon of the Republic.
The House then at 5 o'clock adjourned.
-WELLINGTON AND BACON
Attack the Administration's Policy
In the Philippines.
WASHINGTON, May 2L Before the
Senate resumed consideration of the Phil
ippine bill today It adopted a resolution
congratulating the Republic of Cuba on
Jt6 entry Into the family of nations, and
the Secretary. of State was directed to
transmit the resolution to the President
of the new -republic The Senate also
ordered the Associated Press account of
the ceremonies of the transfer from the
United States to thd Cuban authorities
printed in the Congressional Record as a
public document."1 '
"Wellington opposed the pending Philip
pine measure and said the 'action of the
United States In the islands was as Inde
fensible as the attack of the hordes of
hell upon God. Bacon again denounced
the concentration policy pursued In the
Philippines.
Soon after the Senate convened a com
munication from the Secretary of State
was presented announcing the unveiling
of the statue of Marshal de RochambeaU, ,
of France, In "Washington, on Saturday
May 24. On motion of Cullom the Senate
decided to adjourn from Friday to the
following Monday in order that the Sen
ate might attend the ceremonies.
Fairbanks called attention to what had
transpired yesterday In the Island of Cu
ba. There never had been an apt of such
splendid significance where a republle
had been erected under the auspices of
the United States. A report of the his
toric incident was found in the dispatcher
of the Associated Press. The report was
a temperate and graphic ones, and, he
belle'ved, ought to be Incorporated In th
records" of the Senate. He asked that
this dispatch be made a part of the record
of the Senate, and also printed as a Sen
ate document. This was agreed to.
Hale offered a resolution declaring that
the Senate of the United States views
with satisfaction and expresses Its con
gratulations at the appearance of the Cu
ban Republic araonc, the nations of the
world. The resolution was adopted. Tho
Secretary of State was directed to trans
mit to the President of Cuba a copy of
the resolution.
Consideration of the Philippine bill was
then begun, "Wellington addressing the
Senate In opposition to the policy of the
United States In the Philippines. He de
nounced the war in the Philippines as
indefensible as that of the hordes of hell
led by Lucifer against God. He declared
that we had departed from the civilization
of" the day and had resorted to the barbar
ities and Infamies of the most barbarous
peoples. Our Army had resorted to the
killing of the wounded and of defense
less prisoners, and had resorted to the
concentration of the Filipinos Into camps
where disease and death were to decimate
them. The American Army was responsi
ble for these "outrages,'' although It was
the creature of the policy administered
by the Government. He said he attacked
not the Army alone for the outrages com
mitted In iA Philippines, but the Admin
istration as well, for the Administration
was responsible for the operations of the
Army. He criticised the Administration
for rejecting General Miles' offer to go to
the Philippines with an intent to end the
war. He said the Administration preferred
such officers as Bell and Smith and Chaf
fee. All the orders of these officers were
known by the War Department, and yet
above that department was the Presi
dent who "began this unconstitutional
war." Above the President were the
American people, and they were yet to
decide "Whether the United States should
continue Its policy In the Philippines. In
previous elections, he said, the American
people had placed the dollar above the
man and upon the people themselves
rested the responsibility for the war in
the Philippines. '
Wellington denouncing the present con
ditions in the Philippines, said it seemed
that efforts had been made fo "make In
famous tho American's name by every
act of unbridled license." He declared
the President had no right to create the
Philippine Commission and proceed as he
had in the islands,. and he was not In fa
vor of legalizing the commission, as was
proposed by this bill.
The conference report on the agricul
tural bill -was agreed to.
Bacon then resumed his speech, begun
yesterday, on the Philippine bill. Advert
Ing to the policy of concentration, he re
ferred to the camps as reconccntrado
camps, and Spooner Inquired If It was his
purpose to fasten upon the American
Army the odium of Wcylerlsm. He said
the term reconcentrado stood for a pol
icy of infamy, which was not the purpot
of General Bell in Issuing the concentra
tion order, and he believed Bacon .knew
that the General had no such purpose.
Bacon said he had called attention to this
matter simply to show the American peo
ple -what were the results of the Philip
pine policy. In order that, understanding
it) they must be induced to abandon It.
Discussing the term "scuttle," as ap
plied to tho Philippine policy, he declared
that what the minority now asked to be
done as to the Philippines was precisely
what leading Senators of the majority
wanted to be done in the beginning, and
after quoting from speeches of Lodge and
Foraker, Bacon "said:
"If these Senators will say to us that
it is the purpose of the United States to
let these people stand alone and ulti
mately to give them freedom, we will not
quarrel then about tho time. What we
want to know is that this excrescence Is
to be cut off from our body politic"
Fairbanks called up the omnibus pub
lic building bill. Several amendments
were adopted. Including an addition of
$15,000 for Albuquerque, N. M. As amend
ed, the aggregate appropriation carried
by the "bill Is $21,235,150. It was passed
after consideration for an hour and three
minutes.
The Senate then at 6:25 o'clock ad
journed. Confirmed by the Senate.

SEXATOIV JOHN H. MITCHELL, "WHOSE BILL WA8 FAVORABLY
REPORTED.
x WASHINGTON, May 21. (To The Oregonlan, Portland, Or.) My bill provid
ing for Astabllehroent of assay office at Portland, Or., was reported favorably
and unanimously this morning from the Senate committee on finance, and Is now
on the calendar for consideration. When reached In its order I feel confident of
securing its passago through the Senate before the end of the session.
JOHN H. MITCHELL.
WASHINGTON, May 21. Senator Mitchell today eecured a unanimous favor
able report from the committee on finance on his bill establishing an assay of
fice at Portland, and feels reasonably certain that the bill will go through the
. Senate before adjournment. The bill was reported In substantially the form la
which It waa introduced, except that the salary of the Assayer Is cut from $2300
to $2230; the salary of the Chief CUrk from $1500 to 1400, and the total annual
allowance, Including wages for workmen, rent and contingent expenses, Is reduced
from $20,000 to $15,000. Tho passage of this bill through the Senate will have a
tendency to assist In securing a report from he House committee pn coinage,
which is now undecided between Portland and Baker City as to the location of an
assay office In Oregon. If the Mitchell bill goes through the Senate It will be sub
stituted for Representative Tongue's bill, and will be pressed before the.Bouaa
committee. " ,
Senator Poster today Introduced a bill for an assay office at Taccma, which
follows generally Senator Mitchell's bill for Portland.
from the ordinary regulation cartridges.
Asked if they were "dumdum" or explo
sive bullets, the witness replied in the
negative. "They are perfectly normal
bullets," he said. The regulation Krag
Jorgenson bullet, he said, often has prac
tically the same effect as a dumdum or
explosive bullet.
O'Brien then waa questioned by Senator
Beveridge, who requested the witness to
go into minute details respecting his
charge that a number of American of
ficers had violated the person of a Spanish
woman at the time the town of Igbaras
was burned. Questions by the Senator
brought out the fact that there were then
Just four American officers in the town
of Igbaras.
"Consequently," said the Benator, "if
the statements made by the woman's hus-
band are true, these four men are guilty
of the crime charged."
The witness assented to this Inference.
He gave the names of two privates as
being those whom he thought had told him
the story. When the names had been
given. Senator Patterson protested, say
ing that to compel the witness to mention
them under the circumstances, and in view
of his protest was a grave injustice to the
men whose names had thus been dragged
in.
Senator Lodge retorted that he believed
Instead of doing an injustice, the ''com
mittee w,as on the road to doing justice.
This statement caused Senator Patter
son to say with- evident appearance of
warmth, that the attitude of Senator
Lodge had been that of menace toward
the witness ever since he had taken te
stand.
My attitude," responded Senator Lodge,
"has not been any more that of menace
of the witness than your attitude has
been that of defense of him."
Patterson I deny the imputation.
Lodge And I deny that I have In any
way attempted to menace the witness.
Deltrlch charged Senator Patterson with
having done all that he could to injure
the Army, and with having done nothing
to protect and preserve its good name.
Patterson resented this statement sharp
ly and angrily. "The Senator from Ne
braska," he said, "should be ashamed
of himself. He knows that the truth Is
exactly contrary with what he has stated,
and that what he has said is positively
untrue."
Senator Deltrlch I knowhat -what I
have said Is true, and I repeat that the
Senator's efforts have been to bring out
everything he could against the Army.
Senator ratterson The Senator should
bo ashamed to make such a statement.
No man Is more anxious than I am to
present the Army5 In as true a light ana
develop whatever was good that may he
said of It. I have not hesitated in ray
course in that respect.
Replying, Senator Deltrlch said he de
fled the Colorado Senator to prove the
truth of hl3 remarks, to which Patterson
replied that the minority had made an
honest and faithful effort to get at the
facts, and that he was convinced the
present intention was to divert It from
that course. In this connection he de
clared that no gentleman would make
such a statement as had been made.
Senator Deltrlch closed this phase of
the controversy by saying that a gentle
man engaged In such dn Inquiry as this
would try to bring out things In the Inter
est of the Army, rather than matters of
a contrary character.
Returning to the question of the treat
ment of tho Igbaras women. Senator Bev
eridge. asked the witness If he believed
that the officers did violate her person.
Several of the minority Senators, ob
jected, and the witness at first said hei
did not wish to commit himself on that
point, but he Ultimately said that such
was his belief. He also expressed the
opinion that the statement that the" rn-
listed men had subsequently mistreated
her was true.-
With this statement O'Brien's testimony
closed, and Patterson rose and made a
format statement to thfe effect that he
and Senator Rawlins had both protested
against the introduction of hearsay evi
dence, alleging maltreatment cf a woman
by American officers, and read the Teport
of Witness O'Brien's first examination in
confirmation of his statement. "My feel
ing and that of -the minority Is," said he,
"that the dignity of American officers
and soldiers should not be Impugned by
the introduction of such testimony, and. i
want to say that anything which has fol
lowed the first statements made by tho
witness has been dragged by the ma
jority." Senator Boverldge replied" that there
was no desire to connect the minority of
the committee with the statements of the
witness. He added that the man's first
allegations had gone to the country, and
that he deemed It only Just that the
charges should be thoroughly probed,
the effect that there was no necessity" of

MATTER OF CONCERN. '

Ing: of Island's Sugar. ,.
HAVANA, May ZL The illumination of
this city last night probably was never
surpassed In an American clty. The fa
cades of the hotels and lines 'of arches
were picked out In electric lights. Japan
ese lanterns swnng from living trees In
the park, colored lantern3 of ancient de
sign glowed above the door of nearly
every residence and the driveway leading
to the ocean front was roofed with a
myriad of multi-colored globes. The fea
ture of the fireworks display from the
forts across, the bay were an immense
Cuban flag and portraits of President
Palma, General Gomez, General Marti
and other Cuban heroes. Significant of
the acquiescence of tho wealthy Spaniards
ln the new government was the fact that
a Cuban flag was hoisted over the casino
by the side of the banner of Spain.
Under the cHarm of a soft night and the
beauties of the illumination, much of the
bolsterousncss of the afternoon disap
peared and the crowds became quiet and
orderly. Only a few accidents were re
ported and these were principally duo to
the explosion of giant firecrackers.
The general festivities were resumed at
dawn today, when the buglers sounded
the reveille In all parts of the city, and
the bands gave their morning concerts.
At S o'clock the foundation stone of the
triumphal arch commemorating the inau
guration of the Cuban Republic was laid
with appropriate exercises on Independ
ence avenue, by the Circulo Naclonal.
This afternoon the theaters were thrown
open, and free performances were given.
Tonight a great public feast was held on
the Prado.
W. J. Bryan and the Senatorial contin
gent sailed for Key West this morning.
The immediate financial future of Cuba
Is a matter of concern, as the customs re
ceipts have fallen off appreciably during
the last few weeks, and the aid of the
wealthy classes may be esssntlal to tide
Cuba over a crisis. Should one come, with
the small surplus turned over to the re
public, and the present rate of recalpto
against the Increase In expenditures on ac
count of Congress and the new salaries,
the treasury might be in difficulties before
next Fall. For this reason Senor Palma
insists upon the lowest possible salaries
and the most rigid economy. If It should
be absolutely necessary, the expenses will
be curtailed or some changes made la the
Internal revenue taxes to Increase the
revenues. The Chief hope lies In the im
mediate negotiation of a reciprocity treaty
with the United States, to permit the mar
keting of the Island's sugar. The sale of
this product, It Is believed, would stimu
late Importations by distributing money
and increasing- consumption.
EVACUATION OF SANTIAGO.
Ceremonies Connected 'With the
Transfer of Authority.
SANTIAGO DE CUBA, May 21. Tho
ceremonies which took place here yester
day attendant upon the transfer of the
government of the Island to the .Cubans
brought thousands of people from all parts
of the province into Santiago.
Mayor Bayardi gave a. banquet to Gen
eral Whiteside, and presented him with
a cane and a Cuban flag. General White
side recipTocated with a gift of a beauti
ful American flag. The Cuban Army
paraded through the streets of the city,
and in processions were cannon which
heretofore had been concealed In the
mountains. All flags in Santiago were at
half mast iri memory of General Jose
Marti and the Cuban soldiers who died in
the revolution. The graves of the dead
soldiers were decorated.
In the military procession were 600
mounted veterans, and It la estimated that
as many as 50,000 persons witnessed the
parade. Two troops and the, band, of the
Eighth United States Cavalry also took
part in the procession.
At noon an enormous crowd collected on
the plaza in front of the palace and In the
adjacent streets. Upon: the stroke of 12.
Lieutenant W. W. Whiteside lowered th
American flag which flew over the palace,
while the band played the "Star-Spangled
Banner." The Cuban flag was at once
raised In Its stead, and this time the
band played the Cuban National air. Af
ter the Cuban flag had been raised, the
American troops marched down to the
harbor and embarked on the Ward Line
steamer Segurance, which steamed Away
at 1 o'clock. Mayor Bayardi hired a
steamer, upon which 1000 people embarked,
and this vessel, together with all the
available tugs and launches In the harbor
of Santiago, escorted the Segurance to
Monro Castle. The farewell to the Ameri
cans was , most enthusiastic and vocifer
ous. On account of the general excitement,
Mayor Bayardi ordered that all the sa
loons in Santiago be closed in the after
neon. At night the city was illuminated
and a general celebration In honor of the
new republic was held. All business will
be suspended here for threo'days.

A Noted Knight Templar
Owes His Health to Perun
Colonel T. P. Moody, a prominent
Knight Templar, Is well known in ovcry
city in the United StaUs west of Buffalo,
N. Y., as a jeweler's auctioneer. In the
City of Chicago as a prominent lodse man,
being a member of tho K. T.'s and also
of the Masdns. The cut shows Colonel
Moody In the edstume of the Oriental
Consistory Masons, CTd degree.
In a recent letter from 5900 Michigan
avenue, Chicago, 111., Mr. Moody says
the following:
"For over twenty-five years I
suffered from catarrh, and for over
ten years I suffered from catarrh
of the stomach terribly.
"I have teken ell kinds of medi
cines and have- been treated by all
kinds of doctors, as thousands of
my acquaintances are aware In dif
ferent parts of the United States
where ! have traveled, but my re
lief was only temporary, until a
little over" a year ago I started to
take Pcruna, and at the present
time I am better than I have been
for twenty years.
The.sorcness has left my stom
ahe entirely and I am free from In
digestion and dyspepsia and will say
to all who are troubled with catarrh
or stomach trouble of any kind,
dont put it off and suffer, but be
gin to take Peruna right away, and
keep It up unf,H you are cured, as
you surely will be If you persevere.
"My wife, as many In the Southwest
cart say, was troubled with a bad cough
and bronchial trouble, and doctors all
over the country gave her up to die, as
they could do nothing more for her. Sha
began taking Peruna, with the result
that she Is better now than she has been
in years, and her cough has almost left
her entirely. The soreness has left her
lungs and she Is a3 welt as she ever waa
In her life, with thanks, as she says, to
Peruna. Yours very truly,
"T. P. MOODY."
Ca,tarrh in Its various forms Is rapidly
becoming a general curse. An undoubted
remedy has been discovered by Dr. Hart
man. This remedy has been thoroughly
tested during the past 40 years. Promi
nent men have come to know of Its vir
tues, and are making public utterances
on the subject. To save the country wo
must save the people. To save the peo
ple we must protect them from disease.
The disease that 13 at once the m03t
prevalent and stubborn of cure Is ca
tarrh. If one were to make a list of the dif
ferent names that have been applied to
catarrh In different locations and organs,
the result would be astonishing. We
have often published a partial list of
these names, and the surprise caused by
the first publication of it to all people,
both professional and nonprofessional,
was amusing. And yet we have never
against F. Augustus Helnze, who claims
to bo the chief owner of the mine, and
John Kane, foreman of the mine, were
dismissed, as there was declared to be no
evidence that they had refused to obey
the order of the court. Superintendent
Wilson was flned $200, or. In default of
payment "of tho fine, to serve five days In
the county Jail.
VOLCANO SUFFERERS. f
Refugees From Martinique.
POINTE-A-PITRE, Island of Guade
loupe, May 21. The steamer Horten, iwth
200 refugees from Fort de France, and the
French steamer Salvador, having on
board 1000 people, who were unable to re
main at Fort de France, arrived here to
day. The refugees report that everybody
who can do so is leaving Fort de France.
The refugees who have reached here by
these ships are In a pitiable condition.
They all report that the morning of May
20 Mount Pelee vomited a thick cloud of
black smoke and threw hot mud and
stones over tho greater part of the Isl
and, while a heavy pall of smoke over
hung Fort de France. The eruption was
followed by flashes of Incandescent light,
and the panlcstticken people fled to the
shore. It was reported at Fort de France
that some people have been killed at
Carbet, while Basse Point Is said to have
been completely destroyed. The refugees
report that all the vessels at Fort do
France are taking people away from the
Island.
The Dixie's Errand of Mercy.
WASHINGTON. May 21. Captain Gal
lagher, who went to Martinique on tho
Dixie, cables to the War Department to
day from Fort de France:
"Effects of eruption confined to north
ern portion of island. St. Pierre and
neighboring villages totally destroyed.
Thirty thousand Is a fair estimate of the
loss of life in zone of destruction; phy
sical conditions normal, but people panic
stricken. This condition was Increased by
yesterday's eruption, which was quite se
vere, but did not materially add to the
desolation. Supplies of all kinds suffi
cient for eight weeks. What has been
done was Just what emergency demanded,
and nothing further can be suggested.
Government and people most grateful.
Dixie now discharging part of cargo.'
Will proceed with what remains to St.
"Vincent."
St. Vincent a Sahara.
LONDON, May 22. The correspondent
of the Dally Mall at Kingston, St. Vin
cent, describes the conditions on the
Island He says that 50 per cent of the
persons Injured cannot recover. The whole
Island resembles a Sahara, and the graves
of humans and the remains of animals
are seen on every side. Everywhere on
the Islands the rivers have been stopped
by dust or lava, and in one valley the
dust lies six feet deep. The deaths on St.
Vincent were caused by a blast of heated
sulphurous air. The report that a new
crater has formed Is untrue. The dense
air Is probably caused by volcmie dust
from the eruption of Sunday being blown
back on tho Island hy the trade wind.
Destined to Destruction.
POINT-A-PITRE. Island of Guade
loupe, May 21. The streams of boiling
mud and fire from the last eruption of
Mount Pelee destroyed all that remained
of the northern part of the Island, ac
cording to the refugees, and Martinique
seems destined to complete destruction.
