WASHINGTON. May 27. The House to
day passed the Shattuc immigration bill.
The feature of the day was a lively de
bate on the question of prohibiting the
sale of intoxicating liquors at Immigrant
stations. It was precipitated by an amend
ment offered by Bowersock (Rep., Kan.)
to prohibit such sale, which was carried, j
S3 to 18. Landls (Rep., Ind.) followed this
victorj with an amendment to prohibit
the sale of intoxicants in the Capitol, and
it prevailed by a still larger majority, 103
to 19.
The bill brings together Into one act
all the scattered legislation heretofore
enacted In regard to the Immigration
of aliens into the United States, arranges

become obsolete by reason of subsequent

E. M. PEASE, HEAD OP THE LATKf DEPARTMENT.
Professor E. M. Pease, who was dropped by President Jordan, of Stanford, Is

his A B. In 18S2, and his master degree in 18SP. In 18S4 be held a fellowship at
Johns Hopkins, and again in 1SS0. In 18S5 he was a student at Bonn, 'also in

In his work at Stanford Professor Pease has been regarded by the majority of

major professor and other members of the classical faculty there has been any
thing but harmony. Several times before has an open rupture seemed imminent.
torial limits of the "United States. ,Ambng
the more important changes are tnose
Increasing the head tax on aliens coming
Into the United States by land transpor
tation from $1 to 51 50; adding to the ex
cluded classes epileptics," persons who have
been Insane within five years, anarchists
or persons who advocate tho overthrow
of government by force; prostitutes and
procurers (whose Importation is now a
felony, but whose entry is not prohibited);
broadening the "word "contract" in con
tract labor to include "offer, solicita
tion or promise;" providing for the fine of
steamship companies which receive at the
port of departure aliens afflicted with
loathsome or contagious disease, instead of
providing, as now, for their deportation on
arrival here; extending the time within
which an alien who becomes a public,
charge may be deported In from one to
two years and providing that Immigrants
over 15 years old should be able to read
in some language.
Just before the session closed, a spe
cial rule was presented to make the bill
for the coinage of subsidiary sliver a
continuing order until disposed of. A vote
will be taken on the rule tomorrow.
The Proceedings.
At 11 o'clock the House resumed the ex
ecutive session of yesterday to complete
the consideration of the bill to amend the
District of Columbia code. It was passed
a few minutes before noon, and at tho
latter hour the House met to begin a new
legislative day.
The consideration of the immigration
Diu. wnicn was discontinued last Thurs
day, was resumed. Several verbal amend
ments were adopted. Clark (Dcm., Mo.)
moved to strike out the proviso In sec
tion 16, which exonerated masters and
owners of vessels of responsibility for
the safe-keeping of aliens during the
time aliens were held In immigration In
spection buildings for Investigation of
their right of admission. After a some
what long debate, the amendment was
lost 29 to 49.
Speaking to a pro forma amendment.
Ball (Dem., Tex.) at this point severely
criticised the conduct of the committee
on library, which he said had shown
favoritism on the occasion of the unveil
ing of the Rochambeau statue last Sat
urday, by reserving seats for certain
members of the House, after assuring
oiner members that there were no re
served seats. He mentioned the chair
man of tho committee, McCleary (Rep.,
Minn.) by name, and denounced the action
of the committee as a gross and flagrant
Indignity upon the membership of tho
House.
McCleary, who was present, made no
reply.
On motion of Clark (Dem., Mo. an
amendment was adopted to strike out the
words "knowingly and negligently," which
qualify the Inhibition against the landing
by masters of vessels of aliens at any
place not designated by Immigration offi
cers. The time within which an alien be
comes public charge shall be reported.
Perkins (Rep., N. Y.) moved to strike
out the provisions authorizing the Commissioner-General
of Immigration to ap
point and fix the salaries of Immigrant
Inspectors. ,
Defending the provision, Shattuc (Rep.,
Ohio), In charge of the bill, said that such
authority should be given the Commissioner-General.
The present CommIssVn-er-General,
he said, had unearthed a lot
of rascality, and for that reason was be
ing forced out of his position. The
amendment was withdrawn.
Bowersock (Rep., Kan.) at this point
offered an amendment to make it un
lawful to sell Intoxicating liquors In any
immigrant station.
Shattuc made a point of order against
the 'amendment, but It was' overruled,
whereupon he offered the following sub
stitute for Bowerstock's amendment:
"Provided, that beer may be sold In any
Immigrant station owned or used by the
United States, or on the grounds apper
taining thereto, under the direction or
with the approval of the Secretary 'of
tfc ?Trvisiirv. and thnt tho tn1 nnrrVinan
1 and' handling of said beer shall .be in
every respect under the control and dlrec-
ticn of the Secretary of the Treasury."
Shattuc sent to the clerk's desk and had
read a Tetter from the" new Immigrant
Commissioner, at New York, Mr. Will
lams, stating that he would not recom
mend the discontinuance of the sale of
beer at immigrant stations. No heavy
beverages were sold, Mr. Williams said
only beer, milk, tea and coffee.
Adams (Rep., Pa.) advocated Shattuc's
amendment, arguing that beer to immi
grants from Germany and other coun
tries of Northern Europe was as neces
sary as meat and bread, and that if the
sale of their national beverage was pro
hibited, the immigration of a most desir
able class would be discouraged.
Landls (Rep., Ind.) replied that the class
of immigrants who could be tempted with
a glass of beer on landing were not desir
able, and while not a follower of Carrie
Nation, he did not believe Intoxicating
liquors should be sold anywhere on prem
ises of the United States.
"If you are so keen about prohibition on
Government property, why do you not
introduce a resolution to prohibit the sale
of liquor -In this Capitol?" asked Shattuc
"I would vote this Instant," replied
Landls, "for a resolution to prohibit the
sale of beer, whisky or any other intox
icating liquor In this Capitol." (Ap
plause.) Proceeding. Landls declared that
if he could have his way, the sale of
liquor would be prohibited also within
five miles Qf every military post and sol
dier's home. Being again taunted by
Shattuc, he gave notice that at the first
opportunity ho would present a resolu-
DROPPED BY
tlor$tQ prevent She" sale? "Of Intoxicating
Ucfuors in 'the Capitol.
Bartholdt (Rep., Mo.) opposed the Bow
ersock amendment. Tho vote was then
taken on the Shattuc amendment, which
was defeated 25 to 75. Shattuc then of
fered the following substitute:
"That hereafter It shall be unlawful to
sell Intoxicating liquors In any immigrant
station or other building accessible to
aliens, owned or used by the United States
Government, or on the grounds appertain
ing to the same."
Mann (Rep., 111.) raised a point Of or
der against the substitute, provoking a
round of applause when he characterized
the amendment as pure "hysteria." Shat
tuc said he hoped the "temperance fan
atics" would be given an opportunity to
go on record on the amendment. Boutell,
who wa3 In the chair, sustained Mann's
point of order.
Cochran (Dem., Mo.) then raised a laugh
by remarking dryly that If the same num
ber of gentlemen who now seemed eager
to close up the bar, in the basement of
the Capitol would abstain from patroniz
ing It, It would close up for want of busi
ness. His experience, he said, taught
him that when members advocated pro
hibition on the floor, they came from pro
hibition districts; when they -advocated
personal liberty, the sentiment of their
district was opposed to prohibition.
The Bowersock amendment was adopt
ed S3 to IS.'
Landls offered an amendment to pro
hibit the sale. of liquor within the limits
of the Capitol, and Wheeler (Dem., Ky.)
offered an amendment to direct the col
lectors of Internal revenue to refuse to
license to sell liquor, vinous, or malt
liquors by retail to any person living In
a county or district whose Inhabitants
have by -vote prohibited the sale of in
toxicating liquors. Shattuc raised a point
of order against the latter amendment,
and was sustained by the chair, where-'
upon Wheeler appealed from the decision.
The chair was sustained 102 to 16.
Landls' amendment to prohibit the sale
of Intoxicants in the Capitol was then
aodpted 108 to 19. There was much ap
plause on the floor and In the galleries
when the announcement was made. An
amendment was adopted providing that
nothing in the act should be construed
to interfere with the Chinese exclusion
act. The bill then was passed.
Dalzell (Rep., Pa.), from the committee
on rules, presented a special rule to make
the bill to Increase the subsidiary silver
coinage a continuing order until disposed
of. It provided for two hours' general de
bate, and the reading of the bill for"
amendments -under the five-minute rule.
Dalzell read a letter from the Secretary
of the Treasury, urging the necessity of
the proposed legislation.
Shafroth (Pop., Colo.) vigorously op
posed the consideration of the bill, first
on the ground that there was no neces
sity for a change of the existing law rel
ative to subsidiary coinage, and, second,
because it proposed to suspend entirely
the coinage of silver dollars. The pre
vious question on the rule was adopted,
but, with the vote pending on the resolu
tion, the House at 4:55 P. M.. adjourned.

THE SIDEWALK GAVE WAY I
ONE MAN KILLED, OXH HUNDRED
HURT AT NEW YORK. "
Spectators Were Watching the Roch
arubenu Parade When a. Tempo
rary Platform Collapsed.
NEW YORK, May 27. Elvin I Coolldge,
circulation manager of the New York
Commercial, was almost Instantly killed
and about 100 others Injured this even
ing by the breaking down of a temporary
sidewalk at Fifth avenue and Eighteenth
street. Some of those Injured may die.
Those who fell were part of the crowd
gathered to watch the parade of mllltla
in honor of the visit of the French Ro
chambeau commission to this city. Two
thousand persons were on the sidewalk
when It gave way. They were precip
itated 20 feet Into an excavation for a
new building, and fell on piles of building
material. Considering the nature of the
accident, and the number of persons In
it, the hospital surgeons express surprise
at the few who received serlcus hurts.
Mary were able to go directly home after
having their Injuries treated by the am
bulance surgeons.
Those taken to the hospitals and who
sustained the worst Injuries are: George
Esslng. patrolman, scalp wound and
shock; James J. Kelly, detective sergeant,
attached to Inspector Thompson's staff,
scalp wound, shock and possible internal
Injuries; M. J. McManls, patrolman, three
ribs broken and contusions; Charles Wer
ner, contusions and Internal Injuries.
E. Li. Coolldge, who was killed, re
ceived a fracture of the skull. Mr. Cool
ldge had served on the staff of the Bos
ton Journal and the Boston Globe, and
also worked In several other cities.
Early In the afternoon the police be
came suspicious of the strength of the
sidewalk, and a detail for hours kept the
people from crowding on it. When tho
time for tho procession drew near, tho
crowds became unmanageable, and In
spite of the force of police, crowded onto
tho forbidden sidewalk, and there stayed
until the breaking of the supports landed
them in the excavation. Tho Coroner or
dered the arrest of Contractor Cowan and
of J. G. Miller, the sub-contractor. Mr.
Cowan, however, had heard of the acci
dent and went to the police station, where
he saw the Coroner. Cowan explained
that he was not responsible for the acci
dent, and promised to appear at the in
quest in case he was needed. He was
then allowed to go. Detectives were sent
to arrest Miller, bu they had not re
turned up to a late hour tonight. James
Lawton, foreman of the work at the
building, wast arrested, and later allowed
to go under ball of $2000, a charge of
homicide having been placed against him.
The accident occurred just'as thehead
of tho parade had passed the corner. The
French visitors had gone past, knowing
nothing of the accident until later. Troop
C, of the Twenty-second Regiment, was
passing when the crash occurred, and the
officer in command at onco gave the or
der to break ranks, and 50 militiamen were
detailed to the work of rescue. Hurry
calls were sent for police reserves and
ambulances, and In a very short time
those who fell were assisted out of the ex
cavation, and the work of binding up
wourfds and conveying those most injured
to hospitals was In full swing.

Dear Sir: "I had been suffering severe
ly from kidney trouble. All symptoms
were on hand; my former strength and
power had left me; I could hardly drag
myself along. Even my mental capacity
was giving out, and often I wished to
die. It was then I saw an advertisement
of yours in a New York paper, but would
not have paid any attention to it had it
not promised a sworn guarantee with ev
ery bottle of your medicine, asserting that
your Swamp-Root is purely vegetable, and
does not contain any harmful drugs. I am
70 years and I months old, and with a
good conscience I can recommend Swamp
Root to all sufferers from kidney troubles.
Four members of my family have been
using Swamp-Root for four different kid
ney diseases, with the same good results.'
With many thanks to you, i remain,
Very truly yours,
