red the administration bill advocat
ed by Secretary of Commerce Red
field for an appropriation of $500,000
with which to build several vessels
and drag the waters of Alaska for
hidden rocks, has favorably report

pushing the bill as far as It is pos
sible for him to do so, having urged
in his annual message that the ap
propriation be made and since that
•time has requested administration
leaders to aid the bill.
It is predicted that with the ad

retrenchment policy was adopted by
the administration.

steamer Dora here to indicate that
she had met with a mishap. General
Agent Tracy of the Alaska Steam
ship Company, operating the steam
er, stated that during the winter
months the boat might be delayed for
two weeks, as the captain has in
structions not to take chances and
to wait in some port if the weather Is
stormy. Captain Mullen, command
ing the Dora, is one of the best sea
men in the employ of the company.

NO EXEMPTION
FOR BELGIANS
Effort To Allow Them To Come Into
America Without Examinations
Is Defeated.

WASHINGTON, Jan. 8.—The House
today rejected that part of the new
Immigration law which provides for
African exclusion and also that sec
tion which provides for the exemp
tion of *he Belgians from all restric
tions of the present laws.
The African exclusion was fought
by the northern members, while the
plan to allow the entrance of Bel
gians into the country by whole
sale and without the usual exami
nations is opposed by members of
all parties and from all sections of
the country. They insist that Bel
gians who cannot come up to the
standard provided for immigrants to
this country should not be allowed
to enter no matter how bad the con
ditions may be in Belgium.
The literacy test opposed by the
president is certain to pass the
House and it seems now as if the
opposition to the president have
enough votes to pass the bill over
'his veto.
