A Sunday Session.
Beginning at ll o'clock. Sunday,
bv far the larger part of the session
of the .senate was devoted to a fili
buster by the Democratic senators
against a ship subsidy bill as it pass
ed the house, and when the senato
adjourned a few minutes before mid
night, the bill was still pending, but
it was facing the absolute juncer
tainty of failure with the close of
the congress at noon Monday.
Speeches intended for no other pur
pose than to kill time were made hy
Senators Carmack, DuBois, Overman,
Newlands and others, who frankly
confessed their intention of defeat

ATT'Y GENERAL'S OPINION
Holds That it is Unlawful for State to
Pay Passage of Intending Immi
grante or to Assist Immigration
Otherwise Than By Advertising.'
Washington, Special.-An opinion
has been rendered by the Attorney
General to the President bearing on
the legality of the action of the South
Carolina authorities in bringing to the
United States a ship load of. immi
grants for work in various branches
of industry in that State.
The Attorney General holds ia ef
fect that it is unlawful for a State
government to pay the passage of in
tending immigrants or to assist im
migration otherwise than by adver
tisements.
In the South Carolina case $30,000
was raised by an association of pri
vate persons, by which a general fund
was constituted for the encourage
ment of immigration and out of
which the expenses of the immigrants
brought to the United States through
the efforts of Slate Immigration Com
missioner E. J. Watson. The secre
tary of Commerce and Labor, in ap
proving an opinion of the solicitor of
the department held that the plan as
carried out did not constitute a viola
tion of the contract labor laws.
The dicision came up for consider
able discussion in Congress, during
the debate on the immigration bill.
There was some dissatisfaction
with the ruling of the Department of
Commerce and Labor on the subject
and the Department of Justice was
asked to render an opinion, with thc
view, it is understood, of determin
ing the soundness of the contentions
of the former department, with the
result above stated.
