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.

BISHOP FOSTER SATISFIED.
Docs Not l'oel Iliinillliitpil Over Ills
ltctlrciiient.
Cleveland, 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.' "

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.
