IMllMl if The Bartholdt-McCall Bill Passed by the House. AN EDUCATIONAL QUALIFICATION I It Excludes Immigrants Who Cannot Read and Write English or Other language, and Bars Canadians Who Become "Citizens" for Revenue Only. Washington, Mny SI. After two days' debnto tho houso, by tho overwhelming vote of 103 to 20, passed tho Bnrtholdt-Mc-Cnll Immigration bill ns modified by the Corliss amondmcnt. Tho Stono consulnt Inspection bill, which wns off crod ns a sub stitute, was defentod by a voto of 75 to 13. Tho bill ns passed adds to tho chissos ol aliens excluded from admission to the United States nil nmlo persons txitwcon tho ukos of Its und 00 years of ago (except parents of person living In this country) who cannot both rend and writo English or soino other language. Tho Corliss amendment ndded to the bill excludes iillcns who como across the borders year after year to perform labor In the United States with no Intention of set tling thoreiu. It declares all labor con tracts with aliens vod, and makes parties thereto within tho jurisdiction of the United States punishablo by a lino ol $1,000, or Imprisonment not exceeding one year; makes It a misdemeanor for natur alized citizens who have returned to a for eign country, making tho sumo his home, to ngaln perform labor in tho United States i makes It a misdemeanor for any alien to cross tho border for labor In the United Statos, except at a port of entry, and imposes a head tax of fifty couts on o.ich immigrant. Ueforo the Uebato began a special ordei was adopted setting nsldo today for tho consideration of tho 1'hllllps commission bill and tomorrow for the Krdman arbitra tion bill. Tho order provoked tho vehe ment protests of tho friondsof war claims, who charged tho loaders of tho houso with treating them unfairly. Both Mr. Mnhon (Pa.), chairman of tho war claims com mittee, and Mr. Walker (Mass.) served notlco that at tho short session beginning In December no bills would ba allowed to pass by unanimous consent! Their threat Is for tho purpose of forcing tho consider ation of bills on tho calendar. Tlio sonato defeated a proposition by Mr. Gorman for tho Issuo of $100,000,000 of 3 per cent, treasury certificates to meet pro gucctivo deficiencies. This was followed by tho defeat of another proposition by Mr. Peffer (Kan.) for tho issuo of Green backs to meet tho appropriations made by tho fortifications bill. lioth proposition's were offered as amendments to the fortifi cations bill, which was passed, thus leav ing but ono of tho appropriation bills un acted on Jy tho senate. Mr. Gorman's amendmont dovclopod an nnimated financial dobato, with Mr. Shor mnn and Mr. Gorman as tho main partici pants. Mr. Sherman resisted tho amend ment, and ilrged that tho proper step was to pass tho Ulngloy emergency tariff bill. Sir. Gorman made an offer to Mr. Sher man that both sidos of tho chamber join In a non-partisan relief measure, Imposing n tax on tea and coffeo and repealing tho rebate on alcohol used In tho arts, which would, ho said, add $10,000,000 to $50,000, 000 to tho revenuos, and would reduce re bates by $15,000,000. Mr. Sherman did not respond to tho suggestion. A motion by Mr. Mills to lay tho Gorman amendment on tho tnblo prevailed by a voto of 42 to 9. Mr, Peffer' greenback amendment was defoated without debato by 43 to 12. Tho fortification bill as passed carries $10,"u3, 8S8, or 91,1)18,051 more than tho houso ap propriation. Tho senato also passed bills appropriating $400,000 forapubllobulldlng nt Tacoma, Wash., and $100,000 for a pub lic building at Salem, Ore. Illg Deal lu Coal T.nml4. PlTTSliUltO, May 21.

Yesterday's ses sion of tho Methodist Episcopal gonoral conference was devoted to the transaction of routine business, which was sandwiched In between the ballots for tho olcotlon ol two agents of the Book Concern, each for Now York nnd Cincinnati, and two agents of the missionary socloty. Tho conference did not loso any tlmo. An Incident of tho sossion wna an ad dress by tho retiring Bishop Foster that was full of kindly feeling for tho delegates and of apologies for tho action of tho con ference In voting him non-offeotlve. Bishop Foster said that slnco his retire ment ho had been flooded with telegrams nnd letters of sympathy, In which tho ac tion of tho conference was characterized as an outrage, and ns cruel and brutal. In some of thorn tho word "humiliation" oc curred. He said ho had been flfty-nlno years n minister of tho Methodist church. Ho had never conscientiously done any thing for which ho should bo humiliated, nor had any brother lu tho ministry or laity done anything which humiliated him. He said tho writers of tho letters of sympathy did not understand tho econ omy of tho church, which provided that tho tlmo must como In every man's llfo when he must bo supcrnnmuttcd. That was what had happened to him. Ho be lloved tho hearts of the delegates were af fectionately disposed to him, and that their action was for the liest- Ho would go Into retirement with tho kindliest nnd most loving remembrances and without feelings of resentment. As Bishop Fos ter concluded Bishop Bowman arose and said: "All that I desire to say Is 'amen.' " Tim J'n'nt tn Itt'lcim' I!at'clley. IlAimisiil' i;o, May 21.

THE 'FIRST' SMIRCHED AGAIN This Time Burglars Break Open Ballot Boxes. A LYON-DUNN BOX IS INVOLVED. Two Were Opened and Rifled, and Ono of Them Contained tho Ballots Foiled at the General Election Held Last Fall Case Reported. Onco moro tho First ward tlio "Woody First," as many call It is dragged into dis repute. Tliis tlmo tho statu may provo In delible It will certainly occasion discussion that will Inst for some tlmo. It has been oc casioned by tho breaking and robbing of tlio ballot boxes of tlio ward, which have always been kept between elections in the eliicc oc cupied by Justlco Jeremiah Toomey sinco tho Baker ballot law has operated1 and at no tlmo beforo havo they been molested. Justlco Toomey discovered tho deed nnd hastened down to Pottsvlllo to report it to court. There are many who hopo tho guilty parties will bo apprehended and prosecuted, but there aro few who bclievo they will be. Justice Toomey left his homo on Soutli Bowers street, around tho corner from his eliicc, at about 8:15 this morning nnd paid his usual visit to tlio I-ohish Valley depot. After tlio nrrlval of the newspaper train and at about 0:20 ho went to his ollico on East Centre street. As ho entered tho placo he was dismayed to discover that two of the boxes in which tlio ballots used at the county and borough elections, and tho respective returns aro kept sealed according to law, were missing. Ono box, that contained th ballots cast at tlio election last November, was en tho floor at tho side of tho room op posite to tho customary placo, nnd closo to a trap door covering a stairway leading from tho ollico to a cellar. The lock of the box had been forced off, tlio cover was thrown back and tho contents looked as if they had becu hurriedly taken from tho box and thrown bnek again. A number; of ballots appeared to bo missing. Tlio second box, tho one used at the Spring election of lb9j, was nt the foot of tlio stairway in the cellar. Tho top of tills box was broken clean ,ir, efforts apparently having failed to force tho lock. Tlio contents were lu a state similar to that in which tho contents of the other box were in. Tlio ballot box used at the Spring election of ISOU was in its usual place nnd apparently undisturbed. Upou making tho discovery Justico Toomey called in Michael Graham, tlio East Centre street grocer, and related the circum stances lending up to tlio discovery. Somo bullets were scattered about tho room. One wns found sprend out on Justice Toomey's desk. It wns a ballot en which a mark had been mado only for P. M. Dunn, but tho mark was to tlio left of tlio name, instead of in tlio square space assigned to the right for it and on the back of the ballot was written in excellent handwriting tlio word "defec tive." Justico Toomey gathered up the ballots, put them bark into the boxes and piled tlio boxes in their usual place. At 11: 13 ho took tho train for l'uttsville to report tlio robbery. Tho Justico says thu boxes wcro undis turbed when ho left his utlku nt 10 o'clock last night and went homo. It wns no dllll cult matter to get into tlio place. Tho trap door over the stairway lending to the cellar is never locked, neither is tlio door connect ing tlio cellar with the adjoining yard of Michael Pribula, to which there is easy nccoss from Poach alley, tho narrow thoroughfare between Bowers and Knieriek streets und running south from Centre street. The fact that at least ono of the ballot boxes robbed will bo wanted in tlio Lyon Dunn election contest now beforo Judges Ikeler, Craig and Ehrgood adds color of sen sation to tlio matter. Last Tuesday Martin Mullahey, tho Judgo of Election of tlio ward, appeared beforo Judges iu respon-e to an Older to show cause why the voting check lists aud allidnvits of unregistered voters had not been leturncd to tho I'rothonotnry'sotlUo after tlio fall election of 181)5. Mr. Mulluhcy sworn that the voting check list had been re turned. The Judges of Election of the other wurds lu town sworo that their respective voting check lists were iu tho respective ballot boxes. -'It Is not known what is missing from the ballot boxes. Only the election oilicers can determine that nt present, nnd Justico Toomey will not allow any ono . to touch tho boxes pending olhcial Instructions. Tho Jus tico informed District Attorney Ilechtel of tho robbery ut tlio court house to-day and was instructed to notify tlio Slierill' and tlio counsel on both sides in tlio Lyon-Dunn elec tion contest. Tho effect nnd result of tho an nouncement to thoso sources will lw awaited with Interest. Meanwhile the simulation as to who broke open tho boxes, and the reason for tho act, progresses at rapid pace. E. II.
