WASHINGTON NOTES.
Interesting Hem. Picked Ont from the
Dally Dispatch,
It ts generally understood that Sena
tor Vest of Missouri will not seek re
election. The anti-anarchist bill passed the sen
ate and has been sent to congress with
a favorable recommendation by Secre
tary Carlisle, and was a substitute for
the Stone bill passed by tbe house The
first section provides that no alien an
archist shall be permitted to land at any
port in the United States, but this pro
vision shall not be so construed as to ex
clude political refugees. .
The bill provides for hearings in the
cases of lauding of reported anarchists,
and in case the charges be proved the
secretary is authorized to send tbe ac
cused back to the country from which
he came. The bill also provides for
the exportation of any unnaturalized
foreign-born person who, upon a trial in
any court, shall appear to the judge of
the court to be an anarchist It also
provides for a system of inspection of
other emigrants by authorizing the
secretary of the treasury to appoint at
such ports as he may deem necessary an
iuuuigraut inspector, whose duty it 6hall
be to inspect passengers embarking for
the United States and to erase from the
passenger manifest the name of any im
migrant who he is satisfied should not
be permitted to land in this country;
and he is also to forbid any person be
longing to the excluded classes in the
first or second cabin or in any part of
the vessel. He is also to give informa
tion as to any suspected persons and to
admonish the master of the vessel of the
character of any immigrant, If objec
tionable, who is to be required to pay a
penalty of $100 in case he transports
such a person after receiving the warn
ing. It provides that the fact that an
immigrant should have given notice of
intention to become a citizen shall not
constitute a bar to proceedings against
him.
The president has approved the act re
cently passed by congress requiring rail
roads in the territories running over
rights-of-way granted by the govern
ment to establish stations at all town
sites established by the interior depart
ment This will end the Rock Island
war in Oklahoma.
The river and harbor appropriation
bill, which has been agreed to in both
houses of congress, provides for three
new projects which have, lonr been
sought by the senators who have tho
credit of securing their adoption. They
are a boat railroad to overcome the ob
structions at The Dalles on the Columbia
river in Oregon and Washington, an
other for a canal to connect Lakes Union
and Washington with Pugat Sound, and
the third to begin the construction of a
lock in the Mississippi river, between
St Paul and Minneapolis, to extend
navigation to the last-named place. The
railway project contemplates a hydraulic
lift to raise steamboats out of the water,
placing them upon a tramway car run
ning upon eight or more tracks, trans
porting them 13 miles and returning
them to the water. The estimated cost
is ..000,000. The canal which is to con
nect the waters of Pugot Sound with the
fresh waters of Lakes Union and Wash
ington it is understood will be of great
commercial benefit, because it will give
ships an opportunity to anchor in fresh
water after long voyages in tho Pacific.
Another benefit is to be gained by hav
ing naval vessels, while not in oouimis
eion, stationed in the fresh water.
