WASHINGTON, May HS.-TIip house
ycMu'diiy passed (lie Shalttic imiiilnni
tlon bill. The feature of t lit day was
n lively debate (in tilt tillcstioll of pro
hibiting (lie sale of Intoxicating litptorH
nt 1 111111 1 l-:i t ittt stations. It was pre
cipitated liy an nuieiidinolit offered by
Mr. Howersock (Ktui.) to prohibit such
-.alo. which was carried, K to IS. Mr.
'..uuli (Intl.) followed tills victory
with an amendment" to prohibit the salt!
of intoxicant in the cnpitol, and it pre. !
vailed by a Htlll larger majority IDS
to 1!). i
The bill brings touethcr into one not
nil the scattered legislation heretofore
enacted In regard to the Immigration
of aliens into the fnitetl States, ar
ranges It In seiiience, etc., eliminates
what lias become obsolete by reason of
siibsecinent legislation, amends some
of the administrative features anil also
adds provisions to the general laws anil
others made necessary by the exten
sion of the territorial limits of the
rnlted States.
Amoiitf the more Important changes
are those Increasing the head tax on
aliens coming Into the I'nltetl States by
In ml tmiisportation from .1 to $1.50,
adding to the excluded classes epilep
tics, persons who have been Insane
within live years, anarchists or persons
who lulvomto the overthrow of govern
incnt by force, prostitutes and pro
curers (whose Importation Is now n
felony, 'but whosr entry Is not prohibit
ed), broadening the word 'contract" In
the contract labor law to include "offer,
solicitation or promise," providing for
the line of steamship companies which
receive at the port of departure aliens
afllicted with loathsome or contusions
disease Instead of providing, ns now,
for their deportation on arrival here;
extending the time within which an
alien who becomes a public charge may
be deported from one to two years and
providing that immigrants over fifteen
years of age should be able to read in
so mi language.
A fruitless effort was made Just be
fore the adjournment of the Semite to
secure an agreement on a time for a
vote on the Philippine bill. The dis
cussion indicated, that some day next
week eventually would be agreed upon,
but no time was fixed.

NEW YOHK, May 23 The Tresby
. teriun general assembly in session at
the Fifth Avenue church almost unani
mously adopted the report of the com
mittee on the revision of the confes
sion of faith. The sentiment was over
whelmingly for creed revision, and the
objectors, with two exceptions, saw the
futility of further opposition in the as
sembly. They may now try to block
the approval of the report in the pres
byteries to which it must go for final
action.
The revised creed would mnke It
plain that the Presbyterian church
does not believe in infant damnation.
The reference to the pope as anti
Christ is stricken from the confession
of faith. It also sets forth that man is
condemned only on the ground of his
sin.

Acquittal of Waller and
Day Sot
Warranted.
MANILA, May 2((.-The official find
ings of the court martial which tried
Major L. V. T. Waller and Lieutenant
John II. A. Day of the marine corps
for executing natives of the island of
Samar without trial have been made
public. The reviewing authority of
the court has expressed its disapproval
of the court's findings in both cases.
Referring to the case of Major Wal
ler, the reviewing authority says:
"The sending of the natives In ques
tion to their death partook more of un
lawful retaliation than a justifiable net
of war. In justice to the American
military service, the findings of acquit
tal demand that they shall not meet
with unqualified approval. The mu
rines in Samar underwent great suf
fering before their rescue, and their
ollicers from their sickbeds voiced
the revengeful anger of the men, who
telephoned to Major Waller advising
that the stevedores be killed.
"Major Waller received this message
while he was still prostrate from a fe
ver, suffering acute puln of body, due
to exposure and his exertions in behalf
of his men nnd mental anguish con
cerning their fate, which had long been
in doubt. Major Waller was at the
time in telegraphic communication
with Generul Smith, who commanded
the American forces in Samar, but he
deliberately cliose not to consult Gen
eral Smith regarding his contemplated
action, and ruther than forego the exe
cution of his unrestrained will he as
sumed the power the laws of war and
the customs of the service confer upon
commanding officers only iu time of
war.
"Giving heed to the mental attitude
of Major Waller, as much of the find
ings of the court as are to the effect
that Major Waller is not guilty of mur
der is approved, but the reviewing au
thority is at a loss to understand why
the court did not find against Major
! Waller In the minor offense. With the
exception noted the acquittal as it ap
pears In the record of the proceedings
is disapproved."

There is a mountain in Cedar
county, Nebraska, that is smoking
and bellowing and making noises,
which scare the people very much.
Thirty years ago the mountain
vomited ashes and steam. Scientific
men say that it is composed of lime
stone, and that water penetrated
the lime deposit, and the slacking
of the lime caused the activity. The
fact that it has begun again right
after the trouble in the West Indies
makes the people nervous.
