the Immlgtation bill , which stands on tie

IriendB of the measure IB S4iat there will
be no Btrenuoua cjipanltlon to the Immigra

brief debate. When a similar bill was bnfore
the nttitto last sessico It had -KB principal
opponent la Senator German , and as he ias
retired , the friend * or : : he bill arc .hopeful
that no one will It-el called upon to ehamplun
tfce opposition. They remember , however ,
thai when it was necessary , in order to have
the bill iHrcome a. law over the president B
-veto , the two-thirds vote requisite for that
purpDHb could not be secured. Hence , while
they artaopelul of the speedy sod frvorable
consideration of the bill , they realize the
possibility nf delay on account tl opposing
cpeecheu. There cppcars to tw no reason
to doubt thnt v.-hen tfacvole shall bs reached
th bill -will pass.

the two hlllr , , the immigration bill will bt

When this agreement v\ar mnQe on last

oary to get 'the ' bill through , but there are
now some indications fthat the civil service

The IriendB of annexation on the commit

before the holidays. Tjey are decided also

-maintenance ns the quickest -end most
direct methoa of crippling its operation ,
undoubtedly some -will advocate this course
and the whole civil sen-ice question "will
ibo dragged into > thf > crena of debate. How
long the debate will last it is impossible ta
predict , but as this IE the only Item in the
bill - whichwill attract much ol a contest ,
Chairman Cannon hopes and believes thr
'bill can be passed before Saturday. Tnls
latter day , under nn order made on Thurs
day , has iJteen set tar paying tribute to the
memory ol the late Representative Cooke
of Illinois.
Tomorrow Chairman Hitt of the foreign
affairs committee -will again seek to sicurc
the -picsage of 'the iblll to prohibit pelagic

There is some Tery strong opposition to the
passage of this measure in1 i'.s prewent .form ,
tna the Whole question of the Baring tea
negotiations may be precipitated "when it In
called up. Mr. Hopkins of Illinois and
other -members favor a limitation in the

WASHIXGTON , Dec. 12. The indications
are that this congress will pass a general
bill for the entire rehabilitation of In3in !

will embrace everything that has been sought
to SKI accomplished in the past by tie "Duwes
Indian commlaion , which is etill negotiating
with the five civilized tribes , but whicihwil
be- here next week to report the discouraging

over the present reservations unfl other matters
tors bearing on the extinguishment of trlba

have lieen "aken by the Indian committec't
ofboth the senate and iioUBC.
It is understood that in a few dayt there
will be a joint session of the subcommittees
of the senate and the hoiiBC , at which al
ithe e matters will be gone over and BignlQ

ley Bhotly after Z o'clock Sunday morning. I
'
It waB at first thought by the family that
the pen-Ices would be of a more private
chaiacior lieild at the old homestead. It wss
Eion learned , through the renter of President
JIcKlnley'B church and members of the cnti-
gregatisn , UB well us from other frlwidE , thai
the number who defl-ed to pay their last
tribute of respect to the beloved women by
attending the serrlccB could net bs accommo.
Sated with Bticn arrangamcnts , and church j
services were decided upon. 1
Rsv. Dr. 'Manchester , the pastor of the ,
church , has announced thct it IE the desire ,
and he will estend an Invlta.lon to have the |
ministers of all the churches of the city
to take part in the exercises.
OLD THIENDS TOE PALLBEARERS.
Pallbearers have bcsn selectud from among
the older -members of the church and thm. ?

The F-irst Methodist church , in wlilch the

Mother McKinlcy worshiped during iier rcal-
dence in Canton , and In which the WUE found

was nearly B9 years of ages , her attendance
bad been regular all tihei w : ile.
Tilin is also fihe cori regatloa with which
ttie president has alwcys Jeeii aBsociated.
It was ia this chu-cn that lie was sujierln-
tcandent of the Sunday school thirty years

gation that an old-time custom , aiow almost
ohEolotc , be observed to publicly announce
the death , ihe bell in the tower of tie cburch
elowly tolled off Ihe years of her age.
It is a coincidence that JlrE. McKiuley d'led

3'RESIDENT SDEICS REST.
President McKinley remained up until
about 3:30 : d'clnck , a little more than an hour

jwalking j ' nbout the more secluded streets near
home , BECurlug much-needed exercise nnd
( .fresh air. Tlie president WOE greatly re
freshed by the exercise , although before he
' seemed little the -worse physically for the
1 trying ordeal of the past days , during which ,
I except when ne went to "Washington to attend - '
tend to official duties , he kept on almo&t
constant vigil at the bedside of his mother.
In the afternosn the president aud Abner
, McKialey drove to beautiful West Lawn
cemctesry , about a mile west of the home , to
attend personally to arrangements for the In
terment , -which will be made in the family
, lot where lies the remains of the husband
nnd father , nnd which adjoins the lot which
for more than twenty years has contained
I
'
'the bodies of the two children of the presi

i mounds that are strewn with flowers waen-
'
ever the parents come to Canton. Today the
! president tenderly and tearfully laid clustnrb
I ol' flowers on ths graves , while the site of the
mother's resting tilacowas being selected.
Mcseagct , of condolence are pouring into
the telegraph office tram all quarters , and
