CONSUMPTION 8 Vo cri n H y» SENATE ACCEPTS THE MEASURE BY A CLOSE VOTE. BILL EXCLUDES MANY FOREIGNERS. 1'he Measure Passed, However, Is Broad and Liberal It In Stated That the 1'reatdent Will Veto the Bill. A Washington special says: After u hard fight the senate Wednesday eve¬ ning passed the imrni ion bill by u vote ol 34 to 81, agreeing to the con¬ ference report. As heretofore explained the last conference report eliminates th t )m’ features which were especially objected to when the bill was first before the senate. These were the provision which prevented a husband from bring ing in liis illiterate wife; and the pro¬ vision aimed at Russian Jews. Tho measure as it passed is broader and more liberal, it was, however, fought by senators who believed such a law against the policy of this conn try; by others who objected to the fnature shutting out tho “birds of passage,” who come for a few months each year to work; and by still others who contended that an educational qualification would shut out the European peasants, who make desira We immigrants, lmt would let the bars down to the riffraff of the cities and towns. It also prohibits from employment on public works aliens who come reg¬ ularly or habitually into the United States for the purpose of engaging in any mechanical trade or manual labor, and who have not made declaration of intention to become American citizens. The secretary of the treasury, how¬ ever, may permit the entrance of aliens for the purpose of teaching new arts or industries. And the act is not to ap¬ ply to persons coming here from Cuba during tho present disorders there. The tip comes very straight that the president will veto the bill, ft adds to tho classes of excluded aliens, all persons over sixteen years of ago who cannot read tho English language A some other language—except that ad¬ missible immigrants may bring with them, or send for, illiterate parents or grandparents (over fifty years of age) wives and minor children. Four democratic senators (Chilton, Faulkner, Hill and Alurtin) voted for tho report and four republicans (Ilaus broiigh, Hawley, Mantle and Bhoup) against it. SOUTHERN PROGRESS.

It was barely (i o’clock when Judge Candler announced that the session for the day was finished and ordered the sheriff to fake charge of the prisoner. With two or three armed deputies Sheriff Austin came up, placed tho steel cuffs on Flanagan, and hurried him from the door. As soon as ho appeared on ilio outside two or three man gave the alarm.

HOUSE REVERSES ITS COMMITTEE K end all, Democrat, Losen Ills Seat to Hopkins, of Kentucky, Who Made u Contest. Immediately after the senate went into executive session Thursday, Sen¬ ator Sherman, of Ohio, sought to call up the general treaty of arbitration with Great Britain, but he met with a repulse at the outset. A motion was made that business ori the calendar be proceeded with, the argument being that there were a number of important nominations, particularly of a judicial character, that ought to be acted upon. The yeas and nays were de¬ manded und those favoring the con sideration of the nomination won. The nomination of William II. Mon¬ ger, of Nebraska, to lie district judge for the district of Nebraska, was con¬ firmed without opposition. Tho nom¬ ination of Charles F. Amidon to be district judge for the district of North Dakota, was then called up. The de¬ bate on this case lasted for more than three hours. The senate evidently looked upon the antagonism to Mr. Amidon In the light of political oppo¬ sition only, and by the decisive vote of 35 to 14 confirmed the nomination. By a further vote of 32 to 27 the senate decided at 5:30 to tuko up the arbitra¬ tion treaty and the debate on that con¬ vention began when Mr. Nelson, of Minnesota, took the floor for the pur¬ pose of moving the postponement of the further consideration-of the treaty un¬ til March 5th. A long debate ensued, it was nearing 7 o’clock -Mr. Sher¬ man saw that it was impossible to keep a quorum present; lie therefore gave notice that immediately after the routine business of Friday he should move an exeentivo session, at which he hoped the treaty would be disposed of. In tho contested case of Hopkins, republican, vs. Kendall,democrat,from the tenth Kentucky district, the house Thursday, fertile first time this ses¬ sion,on a direct issue of fact, reversed the decision of its committee on elec¬ tions and seated a contestant whom the committee had declared not elected. Tho vote was 197 to 01. The ffenn’to Wednesday agreed to a resolution asking information' regard¬ ing- correspondence with Great Britain on the'seal question and" directing a suspension of tho grant.oi special priv¬ ileges in the Yrlfowstuno Park canyon. Mr. Allen, (Pop.)

After a hard tight the senate passed the bill 4 by a vote of 34 to 81. Tho house at Wednesday’s session refused to agree to a conference re¬ port which would have increased the pension of the widow of Captain J. S. Payne from £30 to $50 a month. It agreed to the report on the legislative appropriation tho bill and passed a bill to remove Colonel political disabilities from William IT. Simms, acongresS of. ante-bellum days. The Benate Tuesday, after passing several minor bills, including one re¬ arranging the statement judicial districts of Ar¬ kansas and a from Senator Sherman that he will urge the arbitra¬ tion treaty Wednesday to the exclu¬ sion of all other matters, listened to a long speech from Senator Chandler ()ie.}>.), New Hampshire, in favor of bimetallism and of increased coinage of silver as a cure for the present de¬ pressed condition of business and in¬ dustry, There was a somewhat sen¬ sational outbreak when Air. Chan¬ dler accused Mr. Pettigrew of hav¬ ing been chosen as a McKinley dele¬ gate to- the St. Louis convention, and then violating a distinct pledge that he would support McKinley and the gold standard. Air. Pettigrew branded the statement as unqualifiedly false. The general deficiency bill was re¬ ported to the house Thursday from the committee on appropriations. The hill carries an appropriation of $8,130,937. Among the items in tho bill are the following; Te enable the secretary of the treasury to restore the com¬ pensation of employees at the ports of Baltimore, Buffalo, Platts bnrg, Cincinnati, Cleveland, Cedar Keys, Detroit, Kansas City, Mo.; Mobile, Newport News, New Orleans, Port Huron, Michigan; Pensacola, Pembina, N.

No "Bakshish” In the Desert ft. Talbot Kelly, an English artist who has lived long among the Arabs, writes and illustrates a paper entitled •'In file Desert with the Bedouin,” which appears in the Century. In dis¬ cussing Arabian hospitality, Mr. Kelly says: I had not much time for quiet observation, as one by one all the head men of the tribe tailed to pay tbeir respects to the “stranger within their gates.” Taking off his shoes at the entrance, each one advanced with many salaams, and kissing my hand, uttered the single word, “MahiTbbnhl” (“Welcome!”) They then seated them¬ selves in a long row at the other side of the tent, discussing me in under¬ tones. No one spoke to me unad (lTossed, and even the Slieik himself, whoso guest I was, would not sit ou the carpet beside me uninvited. 1/iterally, While the guest of tile Bedouin your tent is sacred,, and all the tribe are your willing servants; and though 1 repeatedly paid comparatively long visits to them, I have never yet suc¬ ceeded in pressing a gift upon my host. I remember asking (lie sheik Saoundi e! Taliouri, chief of the Ilanaardi Arabs, if lie knew any of the Pyramid Arabs at Gizeii. He replied, spitting upon the ground, “They are not Bed¬ ouin; they take bakshish”—thereby expressing his contempt for mercenary service. On another occasion, while living with the Xephaartn, the sheik Mansour Abu Nasrullali had attached to mo a young Arab whole special duty it was to attend to my various wants while painting. At the end of the month I tried to induce him to accept a sovereign as bakshish. Hooking very much alarmed, he exclaimed: “Oh, my master. 1 cannot; it is not allowed; the sheik would lei'll me if he knew I had accepted a gift;” and all my arguments failed to persuade him to take the “tip.” A High Roller.
